I paid a retainer and have spoke to 4 different paralegals in two years. Nothing has been done other than a few questions last year. I have not paid my balance because she never did anything initially. It's a case of fraud from a divorce by publication.

I agree with my colleague. This would probably be a good time to consider going with an attorney.

Your best bet would be to contact the attorney to see where the case is at and when it will be moving forward. They would be the best person to get a timeline from.
she's protected to keep his child
I'm at wits end, what to do. He is so upset, how can she kidnap a child, or keep from her biological father?
answered on Dec 10, 2021
The biological father needs to work with an attorney right away, who can review the facts of the case and help with the proper course of action. He may have custody options to explore, but he’ll need the assistance of an attorney.
He does have custody of her now but why is the amount still growing and why isn't he forced to pay what he owed prior to bankruptcy?

You may want to consult with an attorney who can review your options and help you with the proper course of action. The arrears will never go away, so he will continue to owe them.

You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and provide you with direction. We need to know if you want your daughter back in your custody or you are just wanting some of the money from SSI. We need more details.
We had our daughter before being married if that makes any difference and my mom has legal guardianship

There’s really not enough information here to provide you with guidance. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of your case in detail and present you with guidance.
I let my husband file the kids this year but I don't won't him to file for 2022. He doesn't stay with us. So is there a form I can fill out to revoke him from filing. Can I use tax form 8332? Or is there another way to keep him from filing.
answered on Dec 13, 2021
I agree with my colleague. The best way to remedy this situation is to move forward with the legal divorce. Then who claims the children on taxes will be addressed in the process. You should consult with an attorney who can help you with the proper course of action.
I allowed my husband to file our kids for 2021. I don't want him to file for 2022. How can I ensure he is not able to file this year. I am the custodial parent.

Is there anything I can do with this considered kidnapping I just need some advice on what our rights are and what I can do
answered on Nov 30, 2021
If she has custody to the child then this isn’t kidnapping. You should consult with an attorney who can review the facts of the case in detail and present you with the options.
Or should I file for fault to avoid it ?

A judge will decide whether or not she will be able to get alimony from you, and that is after reviewing all the facts of the case. Her being gay will not have anything to do with whether or not she gets alimony.
I have no legal representation
answered on Nov 30, 2021
As my colleague has pointed out, this is going to be determined by how you file it. You do have the option to file in person if you choose to. Considering the petitioner has an attorney it would be a good idea if you did as well.

Your question is not clear. Are you asking what age they need to be to get child support? In most cases it is up to 18 years old or until they finish high school.

child support arrears were included in a modification settlement agreement and included a payment plan toward the balance. Will the principal amount accrue interest if there is a payment agreement?
answered on Nov 19, 2021
You would need to take a look at your agreement and see what it says regarding interest. If you are still unsure take it to an attorney who can review it for you.

My colleague is correct. The best way for her to protect herself in this regard is to consult with an attorney and have a prenuptial agreement created. That way, her assets are protected if something happens.

You should discuss this with an attorney who can review the facts with you and present you with your options. Considering your children are minors you may have some options, but we would need to know more about the facts of the case.
