It would be important to know what type of case it is. Courts have subject matter jurisdiction over certain subjects so it is not possible to determine what type of case it is based on whether there is a motion to modify some unspecified thing and there were no stipulations filed.

It depends on whether paternity has been established. However, extended family members have no right to contact with children generally. If they have cared for the children for six months, then they have standing to intervene in an allocation of parental responsibilities case.

You should speak with the caseworker. It sounds like you may not have received notice of the garnishment case so did not have the opportunity to respond. If that is what happened, and you have good cause for not responding, then you might be able to have the garnishment case reopened. If you are... View More

If there is a discrepancy, it is the responsibility of the person alleging it to bring it to the Court's attention. It would be important to... View More

I am sorry to hear about your situation. In divorce, you split marital equity. Title does not matter if the home was obtained during the marriage. if he had it before the marriage then you still have an interest in the appreciation of value during the marriage.

I am sorry to hear about the situation. You could talk to a caseworker who could explain the reason. Often people will have life insurance to insure support or you might be able to make a claim against the estate if probate is a possibility.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. The fact that she becomes married is not likely to impact whether she is a fit parent. Though if it increases financial stability that may be relevant. The focus will be on her and her behavior and treatment success.

You can ask for it if he has been convicted of a crime related to child abuse, however the court may grant supervised visitation instead if it determines that the supervised contact would be in the best interests of the child.

You are not required to pay him anything other than what the order states unless there is a modification. If you do not agree, he would have to file with the court for that. He is required to encourage your son to spend the time with you specified in the order, however it can be difficult with... View More

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Your husband would have to refinance to remove you from a loan. If the decree required that he do that, you can file for contempt.

Technically everything you both own right now is still marital property so you each have an interest in that unless it was obtained before the marriage. You can ask for child support to start from the date of filing if you have children under age 19. You may also be eligible for spousal maintenance.
