Noncustodial parent just started to pay child support but custodial parent is threatening to report him for not paying. Can he legally get introuble if he just started paying

answered on Mar 29, 2022
Legally he can still "get in trouble" ie. Lose his license or even jail. The court will take into consideration his payments, but unless he is paying toward his arrears, he is not making a dent.
These costs are in addition to the child support that I have already paid. Is there a statute of limitations on this?

answered on Mar 23, 2022
It depends on your court order of support or divorce decree. If you were required to pay these expenses, you were entitled to timely receive invoices and required to pay your share in a timely manner. If your ex waited 14 plus years to even give you receipts or invoices then you may have an... Read more »
Financial obligation. Is there a way to back out of a car loan I am the co-owner of without impacting the main loan holder or is there a way to get lower payments of even possible help with payments Thru any programs?

answered on Mar 15, 2022
While filing bankruptcy will release you of the obligation under the car loan, the other borrower will not be relieved and the lender can recall the loan and reposses the vehicle if the other borrower is unable to pay on their own.

You can not terminate the father's parental rights. The only procedure for an individual to terminate a biological father's rights is in an adoption proceeding and clearly he is asking for visitation so that will not happen. Only Social Services can terminate a parent's rights in... Read more »

We've been married for 15 yrs, and have a son together. He filled out the affidavit as me and I do not agree to what he put on the form so he can file for a divorce.

DO NOT SIGN. See an attorney to find out what your rights are. You do not have to sign anything. You have rights and you do not need to be bullied into signing anything.

An 18 year old is an adult and does not need parental permission for anything. However you also can not expect parents to pay if they disagree. If you do not need their financial support you can do anything.

Child support calculations take into consideration ALL income and the court can even impute income to those that are under-employed.
He was getting income from military and partial pay with nypd. Claims no longer employed which is reason for not showing w-2

answered on Feb 20, 2022
Not sure what the question is. Has there been a final order issued yet? The court can impute income. You need to speak to an attorney who could review your case.

Any couple can have a separation agreement. You dio not need proof, but for it to be legal it must be prepared correctly and executed correctly. You can also file for divorce as well without a separation agreement but with a Stipulation. As for taxes, while I am not a tax lawyer or an accountant,... Read more »

It depends on his history and what he is charged with. I have represented several clients on first offense forceable touching cases and got probation, no jail time. He needs to get an experienced attorney.

You do not say whether your parents are alive or not. Either way, the property is in Puerto Rico so you need to speak with a lawyer there.

Not legally. You have no legal relationship to the child. You can apply to become the guardian of the child. You can adopt the child. But anything you do will need to be by court order. You need to retain an attorney.
I got a plea bargain letter that could convert the speeding ticket to VTL 1110A Disobeyed Traffic Control Device w/$150 fine. But I may still get 3 points.

answered on Feb 9, 2022
As stated by counsels, a 1110a is a 2 point violation and a 1180 less than 10mph over is a 3 point violation. If you hire an experienced local traffic attorney he/she might be able to negotiate a better deal (no point violation). Obviously you would have to pay for the attorney. If you go to... Read more »
Would I be excluded from equable share of property if I move out of our marital home if I consider divorce?

answered on Feb 3, 2022
You would be entitled to equitable distribution regardless of where you live. Equitable does not necessarily mean equal however and credits for paying the principle of the mortgage might be considered. Talk to a lawyer.
Also I’m in the process of moving out would this be considered abandonment and could exclude me from getting my share of our home or other properties?

answered on Feb 2, 2022
Anything purchased during the marriage is marital. Doesn't matter whose name is on the title or who lives there.

There is NO statute of limitations on the collection of arrears of child support. The collection of any arrears can be enforced forever.

An RJI is necessary for all legal actions. The agreement you signed is not the divorce judgment. You need to submit the appropriate legal papers, including the RJI. Contact an attorney.

Parents are obligated to support their children. Usually the non-custodial parent is ordered to pay child support to the custodial parent based on income.

The court requires the recipient of a signed judgment to notify the other side that it was entered. That is the notice of entry. A notice of settlement is supposed to be sent when the proposed judgment is filed to be signed.
