divorce end of Match 2020. Our son called up his dad and asked to live with him as he was unhappy with his chores. He lives in Orlando. We live in St. Augustine(over 2 hours away). His dad came and picked him up 2 days ago. I didn't want to fight with them(abuse in relationship, scared).... Read more »
If you cannot reach a resolution with the father then your only remedy is to go to court. It is unlikely in the divorce that the court would split up three children. However, you will both have a timesharing schedule defining when the children are with each of you. If he filed for divorce and then... Read more »
That is a loaded question depending on what the issues are in your case. Even if you and your spouse agree on almost everything you should definitely have an independent attorney review the agreement as your advocate. Does his employer offer you a free attorney as his spouse? If yes then take the... Read more »
He now says he doesn’t want to be married the suit is settling soon. It doesn’t feel right
You need to read your prenuptial agreement carefully. It is vey possible that you waived any right to the settlement. If you need more guidance schedule a consultation with a local family lawyer.
We've only been married 1.5 years with no kids. She never fully moved into my inherited house so I locked her out upon filing. I'm giving her one of the cars, I have nothing other than investment accounts that I think will be premarital. If I use recreational marijuana for the depression... Read more »
If there are no children involved then it should not be a factor in the divorce case.
Mutually agreed upon to do it this way
You should consult with a local real estate attorney if you need help with this. The quit claim deed may not be valid without the proper legal description. They are the specific words that describe the property in the public records.
Our agreement states that I claim my child for odd year returns. I claimed my child and now I am being audited to prove that I am qualified to claim the child as dependent, Head of Household and Earned Income Tax Credit. What do I need to know in order to satisfy their request?
You can start with sending them a copy of the court order. Worst case you may need your ex to sign an IRS form.
All courthouses in my county (Broward) are closed due to Coronavirus pandemic. Is there an option to submit all the paperwork online?
Yes, it is called the e-portal. You will have to register. Here is the link: https://www.myflcourtaccess.com/default.aspx
You need to return to the court that issued the child support order and ask that it be updated. Then, with or without their help you can submit the order to the credit reporting bureaus.
On the Letter #2 is checked stating DCS will stop providing services then box a is check there is no longer a child support order this came out of nowhere last payment I made was 10/1/2019 been unemployed since 10/1/2019
Thank you
It sounds like they are saying that your child support case is closed. You need to follow up with Washington state for an explanation.
My son is 13 years old and I have custodial custody of him. I was just wondering if something happens to me before he is an adult, does his dad have to get him? He does not have a good relationship with his dad and he has said to me he does not wish to live with him. He rather go with his aunt, my... Read more »
You need to consult with an estate planning attorney who can help you draft a will that directs what will happen with your minor child.
When my daughter was 9months old her mother decided she didnt want to be a mom gave me verbal custody (which I have documented) and left us both and now she is 4yrs old her mom is wanting to take her from me and have me pay her child support is this legal?
You need to file a Petition for Paternity in your local court to protect your rights. The court will consider what has happened over the past four years when it decides on a timesharing plan for the child. Child support is a right of the child and will be ordered based on each parent's net... Read more »
i understand that i can do most of the paperwork for our divorce via email however, i need to know how to get her signature notarized in a manner that is legal in the state of Florida.
You do not mention what you are having notarized. Different entities have different requirements. Generally speaking, the foreign equivalent of our notary will be accepted.
Normally a motion to intervene is filed by the department of revenue to address child support issues. It does not change whether you are divorced or not.
My ex got with a man that didn't want me to talk to my two kids she went missing for 7 years in another state. She just reached out to me its been 7 years I haven't heard from her or my kids. She is harassing me and threatening me to take me back to court. She has the kids calling me and... Read more »
Child support is modifiable in Florida until the children reach eighteen or otherwise emancipate. Likewise you have the right to go back to court to enforce your timesharing rights.
Husband agreed that the house is mine. The paperwork is not finalized. Can I re-fi the house?
You can but while you are still married the other party will need to sign off on the closing. You can refinance in your own name but he will need to sign a quit claim deed regarding title to the property.
Husband was so anxious to file the paper work, and i was just tired of the fighting, so I signed it. Yes I know it was dumb but it was it is. He used a cookie cutter document from his flat fee lawyer and it left out a ton of details, such as who gets the IRAs, retirements, etc.... if we re-do the... Read more »
Yes, as long as the new agreement is in writing and signed by both of you it can replace the first agreement.
Can I report him to the court? I do not have a lawyer.
How do I file a motion? The order is in Lee County, I live in another. Do I have to do it in person, on phone, fax, online?
Example: "Neither party will incur additional debt which would bind the other...."

You "report" him to the court by filing a motion specifying what he did wrong.
When my ex wife and I got divorced she didnt have a job and child support was calculated at a low pay rate. Now she has a management position and I actually make a little less. It wont be a year since the divorce was finalized until July. Is it too early to file to modify child support?
Child support is always modifiable. You should consult with a local family lawyer and have them do a preliminary calculation using the new incomes to see if pursuing a modification is worthwhile.
Could I transfer to my children’s name?
Since it child’s right
The short answer is no. Child support is the right of the child. You can sell items for cash and make a payment.
Letter giving my permission is that true?
You need to check with the specific airline about their requirements.
