I've noticed that Jacksgal hasn't posted in a while, so I checked her profile and she hasn''t posted in almost 3 weeks. What's up with that? Vacation? (If so, I hope you're having fun!) Anyway, I miss her presence here, and hope she hasn't abandoned us for another site. :o

I've found two references that give different answers. One says the age is 12 (although it's an 8 year old article). The other says there is no age limitation. http://www.businessweek.com/smallbiz/content/oct2000/sb20001025_473.htm http://circuit8.org/family/FAQ.html I doubt that there...

You are quite right in that there isn't consistency. Although the laws are the same throughout the state, they are applied differently from courtroom to courtroom. Unfortunately, New York statute allows the court to impose the obligation for college tuition, so it may be possible that you...

Well actually, your deductions only vary from about 14% of your gross to about 18.5% of your gross. For this pay period, the deductions (about $15) equal 14% of your gross. For this pay period, the deductions (about $42) equal 18.5% of your gross. My paychecks show the same sort of...

I hope you have a lawyer, because IMO you need one. If you and your husband never commingled your money, and if the loans and other debts were used only by your husband for his benefit, then you may be able to avoid paying half of the debt. The verbal agreement will be hard to prove if...

I'm sorry for all the pain you've been through. I wish I had some answers for you, but I'm not familiar with Canadian laws. In the US, we have Legal Aid for people who are struggling financially. Do you have anything like that in Canada? I think you need a lawyer to help you with your situation.

You're right, your post is very confusing. In one sentence you claim that you have custody, and in another you say that the father only lets you see her when he thinks it's okay. I assume that the social worker was from child protective services. If so, it is eprfectly legal that your...

College tuition obligations are handled differently in different states. If it's not addressed in your child support order, then generally you are not obligated to help with tuition. It may be possible for the CP to ask for a modification to include college tuition. Also, some states also...

In most states, the age of majority is 18. If that's the case in your state, then there is no legal requirement to provide support for you. You are a legal adult. Since neither parent wishes to help you with college, you are unfortunately out of luck. Sorry.

You can petition for custody of your granddaughter. The father will have to be officially notified prior to any hearing. You may be able to do it yourself, since it seems that no one will contest your petition; however, retaining an attorney is suggested. Some Arkansas legal forms are...

You may be entitled to some form of alimony if you divorce, including temporary alimony during the proceedings. It may also be possible to request that your husband assume the loan on your car, but if the loan is in your name only, you run the risk that he may default on the loan and damage your...

Although you don't have to terminate rights, you will still need an attorney to handle the adoption.

Your husband can file for divorce in Missouri after he has lived there for 90 days. If he files first, then the divorce proceedings will take place in Missouri, although you may hire an attorney to represent you in court. If you file first, then the proceedings will take place in New Jersey...

This is the Indiana Code that applies to postsecondary educational support: Since you don't live with either parent, neither parent is the custodial parent. Also, since there is no current support paid on your behalf, it doesn't appear likely that you will be able to receive any...

If you feel the child is in an unsafe environment, then notify CPS. You are wrong about the child's preference. In custody cases, the child's preference may be considered if the court believes he is sufficiently mature, but the court is not required to honor his preference. Plus, you are not...

The only way a spouse can be held responsible is if the obligor spouse (your ex) is voluntarily unemployed or underemployed. In that case, her income may be imputed for the calculation, but that's not the same thing as getting a support order from her.

The mom she is referring to is the grandma of the child, but the mother of the aunt who posted and her sister who lost her parental rights. Grandma is now mom to all.

Well, I'm not a lawyer, and I've not seen this wording before. However, I believe that the bolded part refers to the reasonable notice. I really think you need to check this with your attorney before you refuse visitation. Truthfully, 7 to 10 hours a week is not that bad. I know your son...

It depends on your state, and whether or not you can be considered common law married. If your state does not recognize common law mariage, then she has no rights to any of your financials. If it does, then she may be entitled to a share.

The IRS allows the primary custodial parent, the one the child lives with for more than 50% of the year, to claim the child. However, in many custody orders it is agreed that the parents will take turns claiming the child. In those cases, the CP signs a release of exemption form (8332) for...
