No, there is no such requirement.

Take your case back to court and hope that you can successfully demonstrate that your efforts to find employment have been serious and persistent. Or you can obtain employment outside of your field and also show the court that you couldn't obtain work in the field you used to be employed in,... View More

What is your question?

Quitting a job without good cause does not usually work in favor of that person. The trick will be for the dad to demonstrate that she quit without good cause. He should consult with an experienced family law attorney to determine what his strategy should be.

Yes, they can.

It's highly unlikely that life insurance premiums will be used to reduce your support payment in the event there is a support action.

Your income itself will not be divided, except in the event one of you is awarded temporary or permanent alimony. Then your two incomes, as well as the petitioning party's reasonable needs in the case of permanent alimony, are considered. Monthly SSD payments are not considered marital assets.

You're going to have to ask a question.

I cannot respond to your question because you already have representation. If you're displeased with the progress made by your attorney, you can always meet with another experienced family law attorney to get her/his opinion.

Probably not because you can't prove that she actually received the complaint. You should have sent it restricted delivery, which permits only the addressee to sign.

Filing for support was a good first step. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney to learn and understand your options going forward. You may want to file for divorce and ancillary economic relief, including injunctive relief to try to freeze and/or receive the marital funds he... View More

You can ask when you have your hearing. It depends on the totality of the circumstances. As an aside, be forewarned that the brother can file for support against you and the father if he so chooses.

If there's a support order in effect, actually your husband is required by that court order to notify Domestic Relations of any change in his income. No, absent your husband's notice to DRO, the ex will not be notified. Your husband needs to sit down with an experienced family law... View More

Hard to know without having all of the facts. The court can garnish a workers' comp settlement for the payment of child support. I'm assuming that the court imputed an income to you based on your prior income and injury. The basis for your WC award (2 years' wages) does not bind the court.

Hard to know. Child support in PA is strictly income-driven so the other order will be based on a different combination of incomes than one would be for you. You might think about meeting with an experienced family law attorney to see if you can get some idea of what a support order, versus your... View More

Yes, you should still allow the call. If you believe that the manner in which these calls are being handled is unreasonable, then you will probably have to file a petition with the court to request clarification and perhaps some rules-setting.

Are you asking if your ex is wrong in refusing to deal with your husband? Maybe he's being unreasonable but he's not legally wrong. If you believe that it's imperative that your husband be permitted to run interference, you may have to go to the Court with that request.

You should appear. Otherwise, no one will represent your interests and you'll probably end up with an order that does not establish contacts/visits with your daughter

Your answer is unclear. Why would you give up your children? If you're trying to ask what would happen to child support arrears if their father gives up his parental rights, then the answer is that the arrears would still be of record, although honestly, forgiving support arrears are often...

If the order was in place and not vacated during that period of time, most likely yes.
