You file in your state and county (generally) of residence, and use their forms. If you are a permanent resident of Iowa, file there as long as you've met the residency requirements. Her illegal status should not affect the proceedings. Whoever files should appear, but if the divorce is not...

She may be entitled to alimony, but the adultery can be a factor in determining the award, IF you can prove it. Why don't you file for divorce, and ask for custody and the house instead of leaving? IMO, that's a better course of action for you.

I suggest that you stop referring to the MOTHER of the children as 'biomom'.

LOL... are you saying I'm not as perfect as I think I am? ;)

Huh?? Like the Aborigines or the RHCP? At any rate, welcome back!

Hmm.... I can still edit my posts. I wonder if it's a browser or operating system bug. ETA: yep, it works!

Yeah, where've you been?

Possibly. The husband has an obligation to continue to provide support to his wife and child. If he doesn't, then he can be charged with abandonment. If husband leaves child in care of mother, husband may have a difficult time regaining custody. Husband really should not leave the marital...

What kind of decisions are you talking about?

If it was bought during the marriage, then it's generally a marital asset. If you use marital assets to pay off the loan, it may aggravate your wife, and make your divorce more unpleasant. However, since the motorcycle is a marital asset, it will all be considered in the property division anyway.

Is the personal recreational vehicle part of the marital assets?

It's in the child's best interests to get the agreement finalized in court. It's also in the parents' best interests. Without a court order, there is no legal obligation to pay, and the CP would end up back in court anyway. Also, without the order, anything the NCP pays can be considered a gift...

Generally, no, the money is owed to his mother, not to him. If his mother is deceased, then he may be able to collect the arrears if they are considered part of her estate, but I'm not sure about that.

Biodad??? :rolleyes:

Well, you do have to pay child support, you will not be allowed to terminate your rights in order to avoid child support, and if you are interested in changing custody of your children, then you will need a lawyer. I think you should consult a lawyer anyway, just to make sure there are no other...

Since the order is out of Maine, then you must have moved from Maine to NH with your child. That's why you had to incur the travel expenses, and also why you will probably have to incur additional expenses if you are allowed to move again.

Not likely, unless you can prove fraud or wrongdoing in the original case that affected the outcome.

I think there are too many variables for anyone to give you an accurate answer. State laws may differ, but there are other factors as well. For example, whether or not the settlement is based on wages lost during the marriage, or based on the injury's impact on future potential earnings. You...

I think the problem is that she's lived there for more than six months with your approval. I believe status quo has been established. If your ex heads to court to modify the plan, then it may be difficult for you to argue, although her downward slide in school will probably help you. You...

Not if you share custody and her mother agrees. Good luck with her.
