You can request relocation when you go to court. If it's in your child's best interest, it may be allowed. If you can prove that your STBX is willing to allow relocation if you waive child support, that may help. Just remember that if you relocate, you may very well become responsible for all...

Your boyfriend cannot adopt your son. Your husband may, but only after you've been married for at least a year. In order to adopt, the parental rights of the biological father will have to be terminated. Legally. And you will need a lawyer.

As a parent, you have access to your child's education records. If your ex wanted to change custody over your objections, I'm surprised that you didn't gather all that information on your own. As such, I believe it's too late now to change it. If the girlfriend has been around your children...

In order to file for divorce in Missouri, you must be a resident for 90 days. So, after you've lived there for 90 days, you can file. There is no way to predict how long the divorce will take. If your husband files first, then you may have to return the child to Virginia.

Since you don't mention your state, here's a link to state-specific legal information regarding divorce. Find your state in the list. http://family-law.lawyers.com/Divorce-Child-Custody-and-Support-in-Your-State.html The site also has a link to state codes if you care to read through them...

You can keep your assets separate from marital assets, and the income from those assets can remain separate as well. The child support obligation is based on the father's income, not his spouse's, so your income should not be a factor in the child support.

Get married, wait at least a year, then hire a lawyer.

You made yourself clear here, but the fact remains that what you posted on your myspace is easily misinterpreted. I read it exactly the same way ohio-granny read it, and undoubtedly the way the child's mother read it. Ohio-granny was right--no wonder the mother is upset by it! If all of us made...

Is there a change of circumstance? The child's preference is not considered a COC in many states. Did the father remarry recently? When did he start working so many hours? There may be a COC depending on the details of your situation. Also, have you spoken to your ex about his wife's...

I think it depends on the judge and the circumstances. Some order pretty much what's recommended, others don't. For school age children, it's not unusual for out of state visitation orders to give the NCP extended summer visitation, a week during the winter holidays, alternating Thanksgivings...

Get a lawyer and file for divorce. He doesn't have to agree with it if the judge orders it, but it may make it a long process. Is he still supporting you? You can file for temporary child support and spousal support now since he's no longer living with you. Good luck.

Does your brother have police reports from the times she abused him? If so, he should get a restraining order. She has not abused the child according to your post. He should file contempt of the court order if she won't allow court ordered visitation.

Since you're documenting everything, I don't see how she can prove that you're deliberately keeping the child from her. You might want to let her know that you've got documentation of every cancellation and every time you've accommodated her. Maybe she'll back off. Good luck, she sounds...

What does your court order say about extra-curricular fees? If it doesn't say you have to pay half, then you don't have to pay. Just curious about the 50/50, though. Is that 50% placement per the court order? Do you have your children 50% of the time? If so, then why are you paying support?

According to IRS publications, you claim your child as a 'qualifying child' for the child care tax credit even though your ex claims the dependent exemption. http://www.irs.gov/app/scripts/retriever.jsp http://www.irs.gov/formspubs/lists/0,,id=97817,00.html

There's a pattern here.

Since the airlines do not allow children under 8 to make connections, the expense of flying to Phoenix with them isn't really an additional expense. It's just part of the transportation expense of visitation. Then you absolutely should head back to court for contempt, and for clarification...
