You should consult a tax professional. Your ex may be entitled to claim his share of the real estate exemption if he contributed to the house for the 8 months you were married in 2008. Also, I doubt that anyone can tell you which filing status is most beneficial to you without knowing your...

Are there ANY custody orders? If not, then there isn't anything to enforce. You should establish custody and visitation orders, and you may have to do that in the UK. If you moved here recently, then you probably don't meet the residency requirements for filing. However, even if you meet the...

Since you're still married with no custody orders in place, you will have to file a petition for custody and the return of your child. You may have to file for divorce or separation as well (not sure). California has a great self-help website for court info...

If she maintains a permanent residence in Florida, then her business trips are only business trips. Also, since you have lived in Florida for six months, then she was correct to file for divorce there, even if she did not meet the residency requirements.

With the no contact/no visitation, this is a moot point. How would you expect to get custody of a child that you are not allowed to contact or visit?

That's odd. This is the first problem you brought up in your post, and it's the only comment of my many comments/questions to which you responded. Yes, that's odd, and very telling.:rolleyes:

In that case, you should leave your girlfriend at home when you pick up your child. You can try to document this, but you'll have to prove your allegations. Seriously? Your court order seems to prohibit a social life. So, you cannot go out to dinner and leave the child with a sitter? I...

Also, child support is completely separate from visitation. Even if he never pays any court ordered child support, if he gets court ordered visitation, you cannot deny his visitation. Do you think he will even show up for court? If not, he won't be awarded any visitation.

That's not enough for the court to deny visitation. You will have to prove the drug use and how it will harm your child. Same goes for the violent temper, especially if he has never been violent to the child. You also have another hurdle. Unless the father's drug use is recent, then it will...

Probably. Can you show that those behaviors pose an imminent danger to your child? If not, he will probably be awarded visitation. You can request restrictions, such as drug tests and supervised visits which may or may not be granted. ETA: Out of curiosity, are you divorced? If so, who...

Well, I'm a little surprised that the judge ordered no visitation without a good reason. However, unless you can prove a major change in circumstances that affect your children, you are not likely to get custody. The children's preference will not be a factor in changing custody. You...

Just an FYI... When I clicked on the link at the bottom of the page below ('clicking here'), it took me to "Message: Sorry-no matches" http://www.thelaw.com/support-center/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=1&id=1 Also, the 'found here' link on the following page takes me to the smilies icons...

Are you saying that your parental rights were terminated, or that you lost custody and have no court ordered visitation rights?

You need a lawyer! We can tell you that it MAY be considered marital. We can even tell you that it will PROBABLY be considered a marital asset. BUT, we would be negligent if we advised that it will absolutely, positively be considered a marital asset. You need to retain a lawyer.

Per your other thread, http://www.thelaw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30997 this is a lump-sum payment that represents back pay during your marriage. As such, it may be considered a marital asset. You will have to consult your attorney. (I assume you have one, since you should have retained...

You should repost in your own thread, and include the name of your state. Many states have online self help which you can google yourself if you like.

What do you mean by legal claims? If you want a divorce, you can certainly file for one.

Fraud? Not likely. It's entirely possible that the girl made the appt. herself, and claimed to be the mother. In fact, unless the girl was legally emancipated, her parents are still legally responsible for her. That means that she should still be covered under the insurance. The mother can...

You really need an attorney who can advise you about changing venue. You have only 30 days to take action on her petition, whether to file a response or whatever. Consult an attorney.

There isn't exactly a statute of limitations on paternity. However, the child already has a legal father. He is raising her. Since the couple was married when the child was born, and since the father has raised her for 9 years, there is no court that would allow you or anyone else to challenge...
