I don't know where Hale County is but you should deal with the issue with an attorney from that jurisdiction.
I am currently married but recently separated. The mother of my 3 children (ages 10, 12, and 14) moved out in May to her parents house. We recently went to child support mediation where she was asking for $2390 a month; my monthly income is $3800, which will not allow me to even afford my... View More

Her unemployment compensation should have been taken into account. Check the bottom left side of the order where the respective incomes of the parties are shown. If it shows zero for her then you should consider seriously appealing to a judge but be careful not to miss the appeal period .... View More
Original order they calculated mandatory pension in net income
answered on Sep 24, 2019
Hard to know. Depends on the circumstances surrounding the original "error". Usually, however, a modification is applicable from the date of filing going forward.
Modification has been filed will they go back and fix original order?
answered on Sep 24, 2019
If the hearing was very recent, you can file an appeal. If not, then a modification is your best bet.
I filed for support 14 years ago and finally started receiving it this year, but they will only back date it for 1 year because that's the only time they can prove he worked.. so can I obtain a lawyer and sue him for the other 13 years? He was sending the domestics mail back to them and... View More

I suggest that you run the whole scenario by a local attorney experienced in family law. The reality is that , if you can't prove he had income or that he had an earning capacity in those past years, there's not much likelihood that a support order will be entered for that time period.... View More

Retail theft is not one of the crimes that the custody court is expected to consider when making a custody determination. I wouldn't think that you can have the support stopped based on these charges either. Obviously you're very frustrated with the court system but these arrests are not... View More
I waiting to go to the courts and sign acknowledgment of paternity.Just seeing if any option is available.When I was paying child support I consented I was the father and she has lived with me for 4 years and she is 5
answered on Sep 21, 2019
Yes, you can file a custody complaint and then, if appropriate, an emergency petition. There is a statute in PA that requires a parent who wants to relocate a minor child to either obtain the written consent of the other parent or a court order permitting the relocation. Bear in mind that... View More
He failed 7th grade. Turned 18 in March of his 11th grade. He nearly failed again, was to attend summer school but did not. He is now a senior and will be 19 in March 2020. When can father petition to stop paying support?
answered on Sep 20, 2019
You can file now but I suspect the court will cotinue the order until the end of this school year
he now has to pay over 100 more for sport that she chooses to do. Can he get that reduced or removed?
answered on Sep 20, 2019
He can but it's hard to say more since it's not known what level of the court system his hearing was in. If he was before a master and appeals to a judge, he always runs the risk of obtaining a less favorable decision. If the hearing was before a judge, the cost of appealing to Superier... View More
They said they could cancel one of the withholding from one job but that I will not get my money back that I over paid for this month. Is that correct?
answered on Sep 20, 2019
Could be. If that's the case, then it's likely that the overpaid money is being used to reduce arrears in the case.
Not pertaining to adoption, the mother doesn't want the child after birth and the father will take it
answered on Sep 19, 2019
Yes, they can agree but it would be in the context of their child being adopted by another person, usually a stepparent. Be aware that there is a specific form and procedures for accomplishing this.
Foster parent does not allow sibling visits and I have kinship of brother
answered on Sep 18, 2019
There are many factors involved in a contested adoption, each of which can sway the court one way or another. If you do not already have legal representation for this case, please retain an attorney experienced in adoptions asap.
answered on Sep 18, 2019
I'm sorry but more facts are needed, such as how have you been making these support payments and why do you think you should get them back.
answered on Sep 16, 2019
It could be depending on the intent of the person doing the hitting and the nature of harm or physical injury caused to the child. Best advice is don't hit the child with a belt.

Are you the person looking for a free attorney? If so, you contact the county bar association where the support case is and ask about their pro bono panel.
I can’t afford any attorneys
answered on Sep 13, 2019
You can see if you qualify for the pro bono attorneys through your local county's bar association, but I suspect you will not if you don't qualify financially for Legal Assistance aid.

It sounds like you have unpaid support, or arrears, that you're expected to pay off. If you're confused, you should be able to obtain an answer from Domestic Relations.

Not if you're getting a divorce. She'll have you in court in a flash.
