You have to give the notice with the address. It does not have to be certified, but you should be prepared to prove they received it. So, you can send the letter via text, email and fedex to have confirmation of receipt.
There is history of DUIs and domestic violence issues from ex as well.

You must give 30 days written notice including an address to which you are moving. If there is no case filed before the 30 days, you are free to move. If you are served with a case, contact a lawyer immediately.

It is unlikely that the divorce will be granted and you will be mailed a decree.

It's fairly difficult for a... View More

This isn't a question that can be answered without an attorney looking at your settlement agreement / divorce decree. You need to consult with an attorney who can review the documents and payment history.
What kind of document do we need to make our agreement legal? I would like to create a simple letter stating the agreement rather than a formal modification (which I think is more expensive). Please advise.

You need a formal modification - otherwise, it won't be enforceable. At this point, it's just a promise and he can change his mind with or without notice.

No you can not. You need to pay full child support and then pursue the medical bill or offset it against medical bills that you owe.

You will need to file a modification to address all issues. Your child can't just move in with you at 14. There needs to be a revised court order.

Is it true that I will have to sell my house if I purchased it before marriage, I’ve paid the mortgage for 15 years with no help , I added him to my deed upon getting married , we have a child that’s in college… can I keep my property?

It is not a foregone conclusion that you will have to sell your house. Refinancing may be an option, or an exchange of other marital assets in lieu of accumulated equity. You need to speak to an attorney who will be able to look at exact numbers so they can give you specific advice.

As long as he's not paying you, he has no incentive to sign. You can file for divorce, ask for a hearing for child support going forward as well as reimbursement for past expenses. Speak to an experienced family law attorney about your case.

No one can give you an exact answer, but it is possible that the money was converted to marital property when it was placed into the joint account. Speak with an attorney about your case so they can review your documents and give you specific advice.
