"Action" won't be taken until he institutes some court proceeding or calls of DHR to help collect the support (if he is eligible to have that done). Legal rights are not self executing. Don't expect the "child support police" to roar around the corner to his aid. He has to collect it.
We’ve lived here for 8 years. The house is in my wife’s name.

You can stay as long as you want to, or until a court orders you out. It does not make any difference whose name is on the deed.
His mechanic tells the "reason" for the car catching on fire. However, my friend says if I had not been driving it, and it was sitting in his yard, it would not have caught on fire. Am "I" liable?

Your mom, if she is the person who was supporting you when he didn't pay support.
I received a lump sum from SSDI and now he wants me to pay him back the income tax taken because he said it was an over payment. His layer is going to try and use rule 32. Can he do this.

If money was taken from income tax for payments that he had made during a time that SSI said he was disabled, then the child support may not have been owed. At the same time, if he is disabled, then the children for whom the child support was ordered should be able to get benefits from SSI for the... View More

You have to pay child support to any person who is not 19 years old or otherwise emancipated.
He works, but I doesn't. No I'm not disabled. I feel he owes me for the 6 years we wasted together

You don't get alimony because you made a mistake in marrying this person. THe new law in ALabama gives you alimony for a maximum of 5 years, and only if that alimony is required to "rehabilitate" you to earn your own living. Google Section 30-2-57 of the Code of ALabama and read it.... View More

A dog is property. You can sue him. You are going to have to show that he agreed to keep the dog temporarily and that you didn't give the dog to him. GOod luck.
Her new husband is not in the will or on the deed. They’ve been married 18 years. Who gets possession of her house after her death? She has also been a victim of elder abuse by her husband for at least the last year.

There is no way I can answer that question without knowing whose name is on the deed to the house. If her name only is on the deed, and there is a valid will devising it to you, you will inherit the house. If there is no will, then the house would be inherited by her children and her spouse in...

I plan on getting married in little over 2 years and he lives in GA. My daughter has always lived with me and I was wondering what do I have to do to be able to move with her.
answered on Jul 6, 2018
If you have never been to court, then he is not yet the legal father and you are not under a court order. You can count on him filing something in the Circuit Court. However, if you have not been to Court he does not have any custodial or visitation rights to the child. Is he on the birth... View More
Financially I can support the child but don’t have the extra money to hire a lawer
answered on Jul 6, 2018
You have no idea what a mess you are about to make. The mother retains her rights to the child. What are you going to do when she decides she wants the child back when he or she is about 2-years old? What if the biological father of the child decides the same thing? Have you ever done an... View More

You have to go back to court on this. If they were born during the marriage they are legally your children. You can go to court and show that they are not your children and you probably won't have to pay support.
