    What does she get?

    What does she get? That depends. If you plan to divorce without counsel, and with an agreement, then she gets whatever the two of you decide. If you can't decide, then a judge will decide. Typically, marital assets and marital debt are split, and you will each have a share. Your respective...

    divorce while pregnant

    There are special considerations in a military divorce, and IMO you need an attorney with that kind of experience. The following website has lots of links with good information: http://www.divorcesource.com/info/military/military.shtml If you and your husband are not currently living...

    Custody of my Teen

    I don't know, but you can ask at the courthouse. If your ex still lives in the same county, then that's probably where you should file. If neither of you lives in that county, then you may be able to file in your current county.

    Grandparents' Rights West Virginia

    I agree with your friend, although I still doubt that she will get that far. I agree with Duranie that a restraining order may be the way to go with your mother. You should at least start documenting all the negative interactions and comments just in case she decides to file.

    who has jurisdiction?

    What state is this? Did he take County B's child support order with him when he tried to file in County B? If not, that may help. Otherwise, I think you'll have to wait for the hearing date, or hire a lawyer.

    Custody of my Teen

    You can petition for a modification of the original order based on the change in your daughter's school performance. You will have to get as much documentation as possible to show that the mother is not supportive of your daughter's education. No one can predict if you will be successful, but...

    excessive discipline in the workplace

    If this is the same child you referred to in your other thread, then legally there is no shared parenting agreement. IMO, the father had no legal right to give any consent regarding her medical care or treatment, so accessing her medical record was a clear violation of HIPAA...

    Grandparents' Rights West Virginia

    WV statute does not prohibit her from filing for visitation, but it doesn't guarantee it either. A judge decides whether or not the visitation is in the best interests of the children. A well established, strong relationship will be a factor in the decision, but is in no way the only factor...

    Name Change for Minor Child

    The father will have to be established as the legal father first. He and the mother may be able to do that by signing an Affadavit of Paternity, or Declaration of Paternity. Changing the name shouldn't be too much trouble after that. They can check at the courthouse or the office of vital...

    Grandparents' Rights West Virginia

    You don't ever have to let your mother see your children if that's what you really want. She has no legal rights to see them, and it is VERY unlikely that she would be granted any visitation through the court unless there is more to your story.

    Help-divorce

    Well, you could admit to habitually abusing drugs, or admit to adultery, or you could even commit a felony. How about admitting that you are impotent, and have been throughout your marriage. These are grounds for divorce, as is extreme and repeated mental cruelty. Whether or not you can get a...

    Child Custody, I need help!

    Does he have joint legal custody of your daughter? If so, I believe he should have been involved in the ADHD diagnosis process, especially since it seems that he also spent a significant amount of time with her prior to kindergarten. As a part of the diagnosis, he should have filled out the...

    Common-law marriage in Texas

    Since you haven't lived together for over 2 years, it may be difficult to prove that the following part of the statute doesn't apply to you. If you believe you can prove that the physical distance was not a separation, then I suppose you can file for divorce...
