Q: What is the man responsible for in non contested divorce Financially wise
Potentially anything and everything he would be responsible for financially in a contested divorce. It really depends on what type of financial issues are involved.
Q: What if I am not sure if my husband would agree on a uncontested divorce.
It depends on the individual attorney and agreement that is entered into between the Client and Attorney.
For example: In a case where a client has retained me for an uncontested divorce that later becomes contested; I just apply the amount of attorney fees already paid by the client to what retainer I charge (All of this by contractual agreement of course.)
To answer your question, not necessarily. It depends on what you and your attorney agree upon.
Q: My daughter recently filed for divorce. Being a single mother my wife and i hired a local attorney in Baldwin County.
If one party files for divorce and another party files too dismiss the case, the case will generally move forward. A hearing date would be set to hear the argument of both sides concerning the motion. In order to give you an answer concerning argument against the motion, I would need to see a copy of the motion that was filed and what arguments / issues that are being raised in said motion.

You need to get a court order, without one in place it will be obviously very difficult dealing with the circumstances. Without an order of the court, you both have equal rights to the child; With no visitation or custody schedule in writing.

Q: In Alabama what are the custody guidelines when a child is born out of wedlock and the parents decide to split up?
Typically if the parents of the child are not married and there are no Court Orders in place already addressing custody.... Then one parent would need to petition the Court of their jurisdiction requesting that paternity and custody be established. Until that time, custody would tend to be with whichever parent the child happens to live with.

It really depends on the language addressing this issue in the divorce decree. You would need to review that first to see if there is true violation of the Decree. Then if so, you could possibly file a petition with the Courts to have the other party found in contempt of the Divorce Decree.
