If a part of my divorce judgment says I get 1/2 interest in my ex's federal district suit in Michigan, do I need to file a lien or do I need to get into the suit?

It sounds like there has been no court action or involvement regarding child support, custody or parenting time.
If that is the case, then you are under no obligation to seek his or the court's permission to move.

It is unclear what your question is--what were your prior suspensions and/or charges?
answered on Feb 18, 2014
It depends on what the Judgment or Order regarding custody/parenting time states. If it is silent regarding "right of first refusal," then it would depend on the frequency, duration and reason that the grandparents are having to care for the child. Also, the amount of time that you have... View More

Unfortunately, there is not enough information to conclude either way. Michigan is a no fault state, so a divorce can be sought and achieved regardless of fault. However, fault is a factor is the division of property...BUT it is just one factor, and it depends upon the totality of all the factors... View More
I file my papers in July which he came with me and accepted them the same day. He never file a response and I need to file a Default against him. I schedule my Entry for divorce. What papers do I need with me when I file the motion for Default?
answered on Feb 11, 2014
You might have passed the deadline to request Default. I would suggest that you go to the Court, and find out if the case has been dismissed for inactivity. If it has, then ask the procedure to reinstate. If it has not, then ask if the Court has the forms to proceed with a Default.
However,... View More

You need to contact an attorney in Texas. The advice that you received regarding responding to the Texas paperwork could only work if you filed here in Michigan as well. Then the states would have to determine who has jurisdiction. However, since you resided in Texas, and he filed first, then it... View More
