My two children live with me. I work full time. I pay for the insurance and everything for them. He only has to pay $100 a month for child support.

You need to review your order and that controls as to who is responsible for child support. If there is a modification by the other party and you have been served with it then you should get an attorney to fight the modification. It is possible for either party to be ordered to pay child support.
I signed a paper a judge has not approved giving him rights. If I claim her on my taxes he says he will file criminal charges can he do that?
answered on Jan 23, 2019
Your answer can not be answered until the orders are reviewed to see what the details are as spelled out. In general the IRS rules govern tax exemptions but you may have agreed to follow other rules. Seek the counsel of an attorney and tax advisor on these issues.

You will have to access factors such as whether the frequency of the biological father visits. A modification requires a material and substantial change in circumstances and if the biological father has been incognito then it can be used as a factor. It is ultimately up to the judge in your case.... View More

You need to consult your orders in your case. You didn’t indicate whether there is any orders in place.

Why would you want to hide your kids from Costco? If there is an order in place it should be followed unless you get it modified by the courts. You risk jail time for failing to comply with orders.
answered on Jan 22, 2019
You have to file a motion to modify your prior order if you have one. Otherwise, you can initiate legal action to have an order rendered.

Her son decided he wanted to stay with his dad AND that he wanted no visitation with her at all, ever.

It is sad when the children start making parenting decisions. Legally the order if there is one in place controls until it is changed. Therefore, your daughter needs to read it thoroughly and assert her rights as they are set out to the other parent. Further, I would also suggest that the... View More

The question is why would you have a divorce decree if you were never married. That seems odd. I would suggest that you ask to have a conference with your attorney to explain these concerns as they are the best ones with knowledge about the details. Just tell the attorney that you are not...

I have been in two car accidents in my truck in the last 3 months. The first one was when I hit a deer going around 60 mph, and the second was a collision with another vehicle yesterday. It seems to me like the airbags should have deployed given the high impact and speed of both accidents.
answered on Jan 18, 2019
If your injuries are very serious and the airbags should have deployed then it may be a claim worth pursuing. But, your injuries would have to be indistinguishable from those that would have occurred in the first place.

You can still submit your damages to his or her insurance company for direct payment. There may be supplemental repairs to your vehicle so it is best to let the insurance company deal with it. Sometimes, these repairs are really costly and some damages are not seen until they begin repairing it.... View More
