Where do the kids live? Is there a visitation order?

If the father still lives in Illinois, your wife will have to file for a modification in Illinois. This will be difficult if she can't afford to travel there. I suggest you contact an attorney in the area about representing her in a modification hearing.

I did not say that the CP gets to claim the child automatically; however, if 2 returns are filed with the same child as a dependent, then the IRS investigates. The OP has an order that states each parent may claim child in alternate years. When the returns are filed, OP will have to provide a...

As far as the IRS is concerned, your wife is the parent who is entitled to claim the child since she is the custodial parent. In order for the father to claim her, he needs to submit form 8332 (Release of Claim to Exemption) with his taxes. The form must also be signed by the mother. Your wife...

The LLC should be considered marital property, and IMO it doesn't matter who files first.

It depends. What does your order say about termination or reduction of maintenance?

Maybe they're a little s-l-o-w... :D

You will have to start in the country where the custody orders were issued. You will probably also need an attorney to help/advise you on how to proceed from there.

I have a few problems with this post. First, BIOMOM unfit? Do the children have some other kind of mom?? Next, you've outlined several things that you think make the mother unfit. Sounds like these things have been ongoing, but you don't start looking for help until the FATHER gets child...

You can request visitation of the stepchildren, but it's not likely that you will get your own specified visitation unless the mother agrees to it. If you are awarded primary custody in your divorce decree, then she will have visitation rights. It will be difficult for her to prove that changing...

You really need a modification to account for the oldest daughter and to hammer out the extra expenses, including tuition, medical, dental, etc. You will most likely end up paying more if your income has increased substantially. She will be imputed an income since she chooses not to work. You...

If we're talking about an engagement ring.... Some state Supreme Courts have ruled on the question of who gets the ring, but not all. There have been cases in which fault was a factor in determining who gets the ring when the wedding is called off. If you don't return the ring, he can sue...

That would probably depend on the kind of victim you are.

Quebec will have jurisdiction. Joint physical custody with 50/50 placement is not feasible. Joint legal custody may be possible, and is awarded in Canada. Quebec courts will determine the amount of support. Canadian law will determine retroactive support. We deal primarily with US law, but you...

Assuming that you have not filed a legal separation with an order for custody/visitation.... At this time, without any custody orders, your husband has the same rights to the children that you do. A police officer cannot force your husband to return the children to you. IMO, you were right...

I don't know how many people would have, or be able to find, that information. Have you tried a consult with an adoption attorney in your area? You might try the local department of human services as well, or an adoption agency. If you provide your state or the state of your adoption, I'll try...

Okay, that WAS funny! :cheer:

Please don't ruin my fun... I want to know what kind of standing she thinks she has.:D

Okay, I'll bite... What is your legal standing? Oh, and BTW, rep power is largely a measure of how many posts one has. New members start at zero, but that DOESN'T mean that a new member doesn't know the law.

Yep, no doubt!
