That's because that is exactly what he's trying to do. Not that he really wants to take care of the children. He just wants to cut out the added expenses of child support. And he's sick of paying rent in addition to a mortgage. At least, that's my cynical POV. Selling it and splitting the...

Copyright aside, why not? I mean, other than being superfluous, and most people valuing clarity over whimsical asides their legal documents.

Just out of curiosity, is your sister trying to do things by herself, or has she retained a lawyer? It kind of sounds like the former, not the latter. Did your mother have an estate plan? If so, there is nothing wrong with contacting the law office that put together the estate plan. If...

They just have to show that the event happened. The only time I could imagine "intent" being relevant would be in sentencing. However, even then, I'd have to realllly stretch my imagination to posit a situation where your argument would be even remotely credible. Then he is either leading a...

That's why I wonder: what made them think that the risk was worth it? Was it one of these high strung people who couldn't accept a B+? Or was it a question of actually flunking and not being able to graduate on time? I concur that even if it were a question of not graduating on time, they...

I wonder how low the "bad grade" was.

Actually, the fact that either he or his wife owns a business DOES preclude them from filing using the Agreed Divorce forms. That's what "If you do not meet these rules, you cannot use these forms" means (page 8 of the packet, link available in post #4). So pay for an initial consult with a...

Well, yeah. I'm kind of concerned that Dad's reaction is not, "H***, this violent person could be abusing my child as the 'new' father figure", and petition for a change in the parenting plan. OP tried to invite the dude to "step outside" 3 different times. The dude then invites OP to step...

I'd be very concerned for the safety of my child being in mom's custody.

You should request that the orders require that the parent ensure that during their parenting time these items be readily available. While it's very difficult to enforce such orders, because this could be life threatening, it should be noted. Not only should you request a GAL, but you should...

You proposed letter is waaay tooooo loooooooooong. Keep your response short, sweet, and factual.

Yeah, maybe that's why I don't celebrate. Not for me, my kid, etc. And no, I'm not Irish either.

Please elaborate. Does he contribute to the home schooling curriculum? Does he take the kids to doctor/dentist appointments? How much is he involved in their day to day care? My point being that if you suspect that his motives are $ as opposed to being with his kids, you have to be able to...

Focus more on this. "Best interests of the children" is the goal. How active a parent has STBX been?

Never observed this holiday.

You do not understand the legal process. At this point you cannot afford to not have a lawyer.

There was no ambiguity in the intent of your initial question. But given your other thread, I felt the need to note that there are other consequences to worry about. No one on the internet can determine all the nuances of your specific case and how that might affect your visa status. The...

No, because you had the opportunity to contest the final order. If you decided to take the much easier route of not contesting, then you waived your right "to take action." And if you contested and lost, then you really have no basis to say now, "Hey, I forgot to file a counter claim."...

If the spouse of the H1B visa holder is also an immigrant, that spouse might benefit from VAWA.

Only if you want to hurt your credibility in that court. Your action would be frivolous at best.
