My ex was awarded unsupervised visitation, but at a public place, which is a mall. Am I in violation of the order if my family members are at the same mall during the visit.

If they just happen to be there and do not interfere with the visitation there should be no problem. If they interfere in any way that could be a problem.
Is there a way I can force her to give me my share 11 years later.

answered on Feb 1, 2023
Based upon the information given in your question, it is impossible to give you an educated answer. You have to read the agreement and see what is says about when you get your share. If you are still unsure, then take the agreement to an attorney and have him review it with you.
He says he can do this because the mortgage is more than the child support. We have an agreement and no where in it did I agree to that. This has been over 5 years. He’s a corporate lawyer and believes he’s right. I just want to know if he is.

answered on Feb 1, 2023
Child support is not interchangeable with any other payments. If he is court ordered to pay the child support than he must continue to do so or be held in violation, or even contempt. Whether he pays the mortgage is a separate issue. If he is court ordered in the divorce to pay the mortgage as... Read more »

Unfortunately, the answer is no. Assigned lawyers are not allowed to accept money from the client. Aside from that, based upon what you have said, your current lawyer is not on the panel for assigned lawyers. You will have to decide between paying your current lawyer the full hourly rate or...

Unless you can identify the passengers who robbed you, you do not have many options apart from reporting the matter to the police (which you did). With regard to legal action against Greyhound, the actions of the bus driver (assuming them to be true) clearly fall outside the scope of his... Read more »
How can we get this reversed he is 80 and in a rehabilitation center in Mississippi his wife recently passed away while they were in the hospital

answered on Jan 31, 2023
This is not a Family Law question. It is a trust and estate question. Also it may need to be posted in Mississippi rather than New York since that is where your father lives. It may depend on where the POA was executed. Repost in the appropriate area of law and jurisdiction.
Son was in presence of mother when she overdosed. He had to call an ambulance. CPS contacted me and said file for emergency custody.

From there, look at their websites and learn more about the mission and vision of the firm. You should meet with different firms to determine if... Read more »

Maybe nothing. They may also refuse to take you. They will probably, however, notify the court. You should notify your attorney so that he can notify the court before the problem arises.
