I live in New Jersey and as of now I'm representing myself in a child custody case. I know I'm allowed to ask the opposing parties attorney for evidence but he also told me I needed to send him a letter in the mail requesting the evidence and told me to be specific on what I'm asking... View More

You have the opportunity to conduct what we call "discovery."
There are various mechanisms for discovery request. Since you are on your own, you should consult with an attorney about what you will need to prove your case. Then you should inquiry about how to admit what you need... View More

You certainly have rights to the home. I agree that this case could get expensive if it is contested. You will need to retain an attorney to get your equity out of the home, child support, partition, and move on.

The court can go to the police and charge him with parental interference. This is a second degree offense if overseas. I would have to know a lot more about the order and PSA to give a truly definitive answer and to advise on best course of action.
You have options here, seek a... View More
Planning to divorce but haven’t filed anything yet. He’s threatening to call police for kidnapping because he thinks I won’t come back with the kids, even though I am going to come back.

There is presently no court order likely in place. Generally you cannot kidnap your own kids. When there is a court order, you could be charged with parental interference. Filing for divorce is wise, temporarily visiting your brother should be possible. However, to visit your brother without... View More

How old are you?
Sounds like you need an emergent order to re-enter. Go to the court immediately.

You can file an opposition to visitation rights.
I would raise many defenses, and I suggest speaking to a lawyer to get a better idea.

This is a tough position. On the one hand you love your son, and on the other you have to protect yourself.
Your risk of shaming the locks outside of an agreement is that your son has a right to notice.
If, however, your son legitimately scares you, and he is exhibiting aggressive... View More

Very much of the answer depends on the court order. I do think you have recourse, however, a lawyer will need more information about the case. If there is a court order, you need to show a substantial change of circumstances affecting the welfare of your children to modify the order.

My fiancé want to put contingencies on spousal support based on having a child and limiting it to $1000.00 a month. I believe it is based on his current income. What happens if his income grows or he gets a large inheritance? There are other contingencies as well. Should I ask for a percentage... View More

You could ask for a percentage, that would protect your marital lifestyle better. Inheritance is a separate issue, which could also be agreed-upon in the prenup. If I were you, I would consult with an attorney about the entire agreement before signing. These agreements will definitely impact your... View More
