You have to declare where you are living to whomever you are paying child support to. Some people pay it to the state child support agency and some directly to the other spouse.

It does not seem likely that this separation agreement would hold up in US courts. You would need to establish residency in NY in order to file for divorce here. You certainly present the agreement as a past decision between you both, but it would have no legal standing. You should speak with a... View More

You would file a petition in the family court to change the custody status. In the course of the hearing, you would provide evidence as to why he should no longer have custody.

Yes, if there has been a substantial change in his financial circumstances you can file a petition to modify child support.
Mother has family in Alabama. The children's aunt, uncle and grandparents.
answered on Nov 5, 2014
The custody order from NY would be honored by the Alabama courts and she would not have to file again. As long as there is no court order that she should have the father's permission to move, she is free to do so.

In New York, child support contines until the child is 21 or becomes emancipated. You might check with your attorney as to whether he has a large enough income and is living outside the home. Then petition the court to cosider him emancipated.
The father lives in new York and his only income is ssi can nee Hampshire order child support?
answered on Nov 5, 2014
This would be a question for a New Hampshire attorney. If there is an order from New Hampshire, New York would honor it. He could go to court and state that there has been a change in circumstances due to loss of income.

It will be based on both parents income and expenses. The marriage would only make a difference in his expenses, which might be less with another person sharing them. Discuss this with your divorce attorney for strategies.

does it make to pay child support to her if she go to court ?
answered on Nov 5, 2014
You described the situation, but I did not find a question that you asked. If you are asking if you have child support responsibility, that will depend on whetherr or not you are the child's biological father.
answered on Nov 5, 2014
This would depend on what the child custody in Georgia stated. Were you forbidden to take your child out of the state? Did he have joint custody?
Can I get it back my box has nothing to do with his estate
answered on Nov 5, 2014
This is more a probate question, however, you have a right to the box as you are a co-owner of it and the whole box would pass to you upon his death, I believe.
