that if I remarry her, or allow her around my son for any reason, the custody agreement is void and I have nothing until I go through the courts. Can she do this?
answered on Jan 17, 2018
If she thinks that the kids are in danger , she can do what she thinks is appropriate. That does not mean that a Judge would agree with her. If you are being pressured and you both are not coming to an agreement, you need to get a Judge involved.

I dont know if you have already been to court. Perhaps you have children together and are not married, perhaps you are married. You don't tell us this information.
If you feel that there are negative effects on your children if certain people are around them, yes it is a good idea... View More 
He recently switched jobs and is required to supply me with pay stubs and a tax return but he has informed me that the job is paying him cash and that he has never filed a tax return(he is 33).

I don't know if you are working with an attorney or not, and I don't know if you are married with him or not. I would suggest that you should consult with an attorney, either a private attorney or the State's Attorney.

You should meet with an attorney to discuss your case. You need to be named the father in a court order to best protect yourself. If you have been supporting the children, you may not owe any back support. It all friends on the facts.
My ex wife currently has custody of our daughter. Her current husband has filed an op against her for domestic violence and in op he states he does not believe my daughter is safe with her without her parents supervision (she lives with her parents). If guilty will I be awarded custody or do I need... View More

You definitely need to go to court to obtain a court order for you to have custody and for you to stop paying child support.
we had a verbal agreement that I would get them back as soon as I was stable and we were never married, he refuses to do so. I now am fearful of misconduct regarding my son's ritalin.

Yes, you need to get a court order. I would talk with an attorney in person.
My ex will not consent to give me access to our sons online grades. DePaul University is on tri-mesters, (Fall, WInter, & Spring).

Whether you can terminate the order certainly depends on why the order was entered into in the first place. It sounds odd to have such an order. Are you paying any of the expenses of the schooling?
How can he get an order of visitation
answered on May 22, 2017
Your father must go to court to have himself named as the father first. That court is the court that would grant visitation.

As you describe your situation, he will remain responsible for child support. You personally will not be responsible for his child support. However, some of the money that he makes during the marriage to you will need to be used to pay his child support. Ordinarily, money made during the marriage... View More
my rights?
answered on Mar 30, 2017
You need to review what your divorce decree says. If you are named as the father and have an obligation to pay child support, you can't just give that up. I would suggest that you meet with an attorney and go over the facts of your case. I don't know if you are looking for someone else to... View More

It sounds as though you went through the state at some point. I would suggest contacting the State's Attorney in your area again, and speak with the child support division.
Ex may be able to modify his obligation going forward, but that does not mean he gets out of paying what he owes... View More

He hasn't tried to contact me in over two years and now his new girlfriend is the one trying to contact me and my new husband. My son doesn't even remember who he is. He considers my husband his father. I worry it could be detrimental to his mental health to reintroduce him to his real... View More

I urge you to talk with an attorney pronto. If you and your husband were to adopt the child, then your ex would have no rights to the child. Otherwise, the Judge will consider the ex's request for visitation. The Judge is not going to cut off the dad's rights because dad has been... View More
No order in court yet. Will be doing this soon, both have representation but interested to hear other viewpoints. One lawyer says reserve judgement but I don't believe that removes the risk, just pushes it down the line. Is this true?
answered on Feb 21, 2017
One of you needs to file the case in court. That person should work with an attorney to advise you on this. You could get all the way to court for the final day and the Judge does not agree to your deal about no one paying child support.
Perhaps both of you will have an attorney. But, you... View More

You did not provide much information. Although you are not married to the father, I don't know if there is an order from a Paternity Court which would require you to give him notice of your intent to move.
She had not filled any paperwork out and is moving over 60 miles away. What can I do? I do not agree with the move. After seeing 1 answer I must add that the move is still in this state, but over 60 miles away from the current location. Thank you

You can google the law at 750 ILCS 5/609.2. She can't just leave the state if you don't agree. The court will need to decide, if you can't come to an agreement.
answered on Feb 10, 2017
750 ILCS 5/609.2 states what you have to do. You have to go to court. I would suggest you meet with an atty.

No, any future cases would be dealt with the facts presented at that time.
