You are absolutely entitled to financial support possibly for yourself and definitely for your children. However, if no one has filed for divorce yet, the court cannot help you. He would most likely also be responsible for reimbursing you for attorney's fees. You should seek legal counsel... View More

You need a paternity action filed immediately. This is too important to try to do it by yourself. I strongly advise that you utilize the services of an experienced family law attorney. You need to figure out how to borrow money for this purpose. This is your child's future we are talking about.
The child in question was the result of a one night stand back in 2011, however I have made numerous attempts over the last 5+ years to make contact with the mother via facebook, and email, but she has successfully avoided me all this time.

Are you sure your retirement was for alimony or was it part of equitable distribution? If for alimony, then you would need to file a Petition for Modification. An attorney would need to see all your paperwork to advise you properly. Please call me so we can discuss this further. 954-776-2320.

Based on the income of both parties, you should both have attorneys. There is too much at stake. Between the two of you, there is $150k - $200k in income. Why wouldn't you have an attorney to help you at this next meeting? Your husband should have to pay for your attorney's fees,... View More
