You can try to contest it, but it will likely not work. If you attorney had documents and you didn't review them before mediation, that isn't a reason why the agreement shouldn't stand.
No unless a new modification case is pending.
It’s a second domestic battery charge. He wants me to recant and or tell them I just made it up and it’s not true. DCF is involved. Which is a whole different monster. Can my kids be taken away if I we recant or tell them I lied? Or what consequences could I face? They have photos and statements.
If domestic violence occurred, recanting will not help. DFCS might see this as you unwilling to protect your children from an abusive household. It sounds like the abuse occurred and you ist don't want him to get into trouble for it. However, you need to worry about your safety and your... Read more »

You can try to set aside the agreement. However, this is investigation that it seems like could have been done prior to reaching an agreement, so the court may not set it aside if you didn't do your due diligence in advance.
We have a son together that she has made no effort to contact since middle of Sept 2020. We habe been separated for a year. I got him due to her using drugs right after the separation. I know that most likely an attorney will have to get involved. Id just like to know the quickest way to get this... Read more »
If you don't have her address, there is not a quick way to get it done. An attorney can file an emergency hearing, but she must be served. An attorney can help you determine the best way to accomplish that. You may need to hire a private investigator to find her.
It was my mother who was murder
There is no such person as an "illegal." A jail is not responsible for the actions of an undocumented person who may commit crimes after their release. Same for a citizen.
We have been married for 11 years. He owns the house but we have lived in it together since he bought it. Our two children (12 and 7) want to live with me.

Yes, you should hire an attorney for the divorce. There are many items to deal with in a divorce, as well as custody.
We are currently separated, will I be responsible for the child
She does not need your consent to divorce. If you do not adopt the child, it will not be your responsibility. Make sure you represented in the divorce so the paperwork is clear.
I am going through a divorce/custody and I want to be frank with my lawyer and discuss something that may potentially damage my case. I want to know if I preface a subject with "hypothetically speaking" does this enable my attorney to proceed as if the topic had not been discussed?... Read more »
I agree with the below answer. You need to be honest with the attorney that you hired to give you advice.
Responsibility and everything in her name is her responsibility. The paperwork Doesn’t say anything about social security. So does that mean she can claim a part of my SS?
No. If you were married for at least 10 years, your spouse can draw SS based off of your income, but it doesn't take anything away from you.

I started a small solar construction business with just me and one other employee. Can the business income be used against me for child support?
It's possible. Some people hide income in the business in various ways. For example, using the business account for personal expenses or paying a lower salary intentionally to suppress income. If you don't already, get a CPA to audit your books and verify your income.
My niece is 13 years old she has been living with me 4 years now. Her parents moved out of state without her. She wants to see a therapist because she is depressed.

Contact an attorney about filing for emergency custody or a depravation case in juvenile court.
what is the law when it comes to my situation with child support
No.
I haven't received a payment since August. My ex received both stimulus checks. When I ask for an update they say no updates and they will reach out to the other state
You may file a contempt case to recover the arrears owed. A private attorney usually can move quicker that child support enforcment.
We have joint custody. So how and why does he get to keep it all of the stimulus money.
Your question is unclear about him "keeping it all." If you agreed that he could claim the child in odd years, he keeps the refund for that year.

updated? Do I have to wait exactly 2yrs from the date of the child support(GA court order) order? Also how is proof of income determine if the CP lives out of state?
You don't have to wait two years. That is just the time frame given by child support services before they will do it. As long as there has been a substantial change in any of the factors regarding child support, you may ask for a modification immediately.
