I reread this post, and realized I made a mistake! I stated that he is entitled to the tax deduction if the children live with him. Actually, since they lived with you for more than six months, you are entitled to the tax deduction this year. Sorry about that! If you allow him to take the...

I'm a little confused. Is there a court order that gave him primary custody? Is that why they are living with him? If that's the case, then he is entitled to claim them on his taxes, unless the court order states otherwise. Or, does he have temporary custody pending the custody hearing?

I'm not sure that OP will have to prove why the change shouldn't happen. I believe the NCP will have to prove a change in circumstance that necessitates a modification of the original order. I also suggest you document your previous conversations with the new wife, and, as Jacksgal...

She may have those orders from her doctor, but you can certainly ask her to fax the orders or have the doctor fax them to you. Don't you have any moving restrictions in the custody order? If so, then she's in contempt and you should have filed 6 months ago. She should ask someone else to...

As stated, he is in GA. Georgia recognizes grounds for divorce, adultery among them. OP, you will have to prove adultery. You will also have to prove that the mother is a heavy drinker and pot smoker if you plan to use that in court.

Why? What difference does his emancipation make when there is an arrearage? OP, be sure to fully research any private support collection agency before signing on with them (or before your mother signs). There are problems with many of them.

You can't lock her out of the house and get rid of her things. You should file for divorce and custody of the children. Unless she has been gone for a year with no contact, you probably can't argue abandonment. You should consult an attorney, but here's some helpful information...

He still has rights to the house. I don't know if the police will make you allow him to enter, but they may. You should consult an attorney before he moves back. You should also file for divorce.

If there was a court order for child support, then your mother can file for contempt for the arrears. She will have to file in the state and county where the order originated. There is no statute of limitations on child support arrearages in Texas, Oklahoma, or South Carolina, so she should be...

OP, depending on your state of residence, if you were married within a given time after the birth of your child, or during your pregnancy, then your husband is the legal father and will not have to adopt. The biological father can still file a paternity petition. To get correct and accurate...

IMO, he owes you nothing. In a way, his brother is buying out your share. Since your share has decreased in value and there is no equity, his brother may actually be overpaying on the investment. However, that's only my opinion. I'm not very knowledgeable about real estate. I think you should...

This is not a family law issue. It's a real estate issue. If your name is on the mortgage, then you are liable for the mortgage. It is unlikely that your name will be removed from the mortgage unless your ex refinances. If you don't contribute to the mortgage payment, he can sue you. It...

How long have you been married, and what state are you in?

It's unfortunate for you, but her previous decision to move is/will be irrelevant to the custody issue. It may be relevant to transportation costs related to visitation.

Until the child is born, the only thing you can do is list yourself as the father on the Putative Fathers Registry in your state. I also would not plan on getting primary custody of a newborn unless you can prove that the mother is unfit, and nothing you've posted suggests that. You may be...

Just to clarify, he had an obligation and opportunity to contest the terms of the order before it was final. If he knew the health insurance would be more than $99.05 when the order was written, then he was obligated to inform the court. Since he didn't, and did not notify you within 20 days...

Your decree should state whether or not he is required to pay through the registry. I suspect that your order allows him to pay directly. Otherwise, he would be in arrears with the registry. Since he did not notify you within 20 days, and since he doesn't pay through the registry, you can...

Your order, if it's the standard order, shows your recourse below the section you quoted: Did your ex notify you within 20 days of the order? Does he pay child support through the Washington State Support Registry? If so, contact the Registry.

No, she doesn't have to move out when you file. If you can't agree about living arrangements, the judge will decide at the hearing. I believe you can request temporary support when you file. She may be ordered to pay the bills for some time, but you will be expected to find employment. She...

I went back and reread the posts. I forgot that you want to divorce in 4 months, and your wife won't agree. Are you legally separated? If so, did you legally separate in AR? Have you talked to lawyers in both WA and AR? If you file for divorce, do you think your wife will appear at the...
