I would reach out to an attorney who handles estates matters. I sounds like your son's estate probably has a claim against his former spouse for the funds that were supposed to be transferred to him pursuant to the divorce decree.

I don't understand the part of your question... View More

Contact the Surrogate’s Office of the county where the deceased person lived.

If you believe you are the father of the child in question, you can file a case in family court to establish paternity of the child. If the court determines that you are the father of the child, then you would have the legal right to seek parenting time, while you would simultaneously have the... View More

When you receive a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO"), you will be provided an upcoming court date for a hearing. At the hearing, the Court will decide whether to dismiss the TRO, or to make it a Final Restraining Order ("FRO"). If it is made an FRO, it could have a significant... View More

In Court you will need to disclose more than just the balances of your bank accounts. You will need to probably fill out an updated Family Court Case Information Statement, which provides your last year's income, your current YTD income, you income based on your last three pay stubs, your...

If you are the legal parent of the child, then you have a child support obligation. The right to be financially supported is the child's right, not that of the custodial parent. You cannot "sign away" your rights to a child to avoid child support, unless you mean signing over your... View More

If it is his premarital property, the only claim she might attempt is for a portion of the appreciated value of the property during the marriage. That is, if the house was worth $200,000 on the date of the marriage with a $100,000 mortgage (so total equity in the house was $100,000 on that date),... View More

This is not the type of question that can be answered adequately in this type of focus. The general answer is that the child is not emancipated if (s)he is a full-time college student, so you have a continuing obligation to pay child support to the parent of primary residence. It is unclear from... View More

If you have not already, contact the child support call center (877-655-4371) and notify them that he will be awarded SSD, and probably a large lump-sum retroactive payment. I am not sure if they will be able to intercede to collect some portion of your arrears before he receives that payment, but... View More

I strongly suggest you contact a qualified family law attorney for a consultation. This type of move will affect both parents' lives and the child. You will need to all be on the same page before the move takes place, or else you are begging for contested litigation - which could create a... View More

This type of issue is sensitive. Being that your post is two weeks old, I presume that one way or another it has resolved by now. As a general rule, it is best to try to address these type of teenager issues delicately, by trying to talk it through with your child, while trying to gently remind the... View More

Your spouse will only be entitled to a benefit based on your social security income if your marriage lasted for over 10 years. If she makes a claim on your benefits, it will have no impact on the amount of Social Security retirement you receive. She also would not have a claim to social security... View More

The short answer is yes, I believe you are able to file for support in New Jersey. Bring the divorce and custody orders with you when you go to the courthouse, as those orders will need to be registered in New Jersey to get the case opened.

It's hard to understand exactly what you are asking, but I am assuming you have an order granting you custody of a child and that you have, since the order was entered but before you actually obtained custody, began living with someone. If that is the case, your new roommate would not... View More

I would try first asking him for the dog. If that doesn't work, bring your papers to the police and tell them what happened. They may assist you retrieve your dog and/or at least investigate further.

You really need a lawyer to look at the specifics. Retroactivity might be fair in this fact pattern, but your ex probably would not get a retroactive award if the matter went to court, due to a statute. The bi-annual exchange of tax returns is not very unusual, but in your case it doesn't... View More

No. If the initial order was entered in PA, then PA law applies to the end date of the child support obligation. Also, there does not appear to be any basis for you to have an alimony obligation impressed on you now, after you did not pay alimony for 14 years. That said, you should probably bring... View More

Yes, if it was not already considered in the initial calculation of child support. In New Jersey a parent's payment of the child's portion of health insurance premiums should be factored into the calculation of child support pursuant to the New Jersey child support guidelines. In order to... View More

You realize you are posting on a public forum an admission of "possible" criminal conduct and/or conduct that would likely be harmful to the interests of children, right? You probably want to sit down in an attorney's office to get your questions answered... You probably should also... View More

Report the hidden camera to the police. If they agree that probable cause exists that he is committing a crime, then they have the power to take action against him.
