The funds would be considered marital property, however the reality is that when parties separate they often have to use bank account funds for living expenses, so such funds can fluctuate.

It sounds like she transferred the case to Texas if it is through Child Support Enforcement and Texas is now handling enforcement.
I just need to know what forms to fill out to send in to get it on the docket for a judge to hear. I am hoping that my son will come with me but his father wants someone else to decide if he can come with me.

You will have to have consent or a court order and will have to file a motion to relocate. The Court has to consider several legal factors with a relocation so you will not find a standard form to complete.

All you can obtain is your name on the birth certificate if the other parent consents to that. Custody is a status that a court has to grant. However, if the child is born during the marriage and/or your name is on the birth certificate, you are e the presumed parent.

It depends on if there is a court order in place or not. if not, either parent can remove a child from the state but can not withhold that child from the other parent. This action often comes with a host of problems though, such as allegations of parental kidnapping.

When a child ages out of the order, you can have the order adjusted. if you are going through Child Support... Read more »

You fill out a petition, summons and case information sheet to start and the clerk can assist you with the summons. You then file and have those documents personally served on the other party.

You could attempt to use the letter to justify a move, however he may claim duress. It sounds like he may have written the letter in an emotional moment. Also, not knowing what he has to say about the situation precludes any kind of assessment of the strength of your position.

There are no legal grounds to cancel the support. Nor are there legal grounds to substitute the value of things that you do other than paying child support for the support arrears.
My name is on the deed and mortgage papers; the home is in Hawaii. I thought we had a divorce but I nor the Public representative cannot find the divorce decree or certificate. If the divorce papers cannot be found, is the divorce still valid?

It sounds like you are looking for a will - not a dissolution decree. If there is a dissolution decree, it will be filed with the court that issued it as an official record.
this year, how is that property considered? Would the equity in the home at the time of quick sale become marital property?

It depends on whether it was an inheritance or a gift to him or the marriage. Only if it was a gift to the marriage would it be considered marital property.
