Probably not. He still has to come into court and be adjudicated the legal father. At this point he can ask for a paternity test and if it shows he’s not the father then he will not be liable for child support. On the other hand if he comes into court and says the child is mine, I don’t want a... View More

His anxiety was too bad to continue. His dad has stopped child support, but I'm confused as to where it's 18 or 19 in Alabama. I see 19,with stipulations. Help please, thank you!

It’s 19 In Alabama. He has to pay until your son turns 19, which is the age of majority in Alabama. Additionally have you thought about applying for disability for your son? Especially if a doctor recommended or diagnosed him with a condition that makes it impossible for him to work. You might... View More

You have sole custody. Send him a text and tell him you are going to the police department within thirty minutes if he doesn’t respond. Then if he doesn’t, get to the police department and file for interference with custody. Get moving on this quickly if you want your daughter back!
They was advised to serve her a 30 day written notice Which they did The utilities are listed in my name Can I legally suspend the utilities after the 30 day notice to vacate

After that, then you can file for a default. After that if she’s still there then ask for a writ of assistance to... View More

If you weren’t married then it belongs to his estate. Did y’all have any children? If yes, then they are entitled to it. If not, then his parents are entitled to it. If no parents, then siblings. You have no rights, unless you can prove you paid for it.

It must stop at the childs 19th birthday. However if college expenses were reserved in the divorce decree then you can file for a modification prior to the child turning 19, in order to ask the court to extend the child support as college expenses. Also while the child is enrolled as a full time... View More

answered on Jul 30, 2020
You can file a motion to set aside the plea if it’s been less than thirty days. If it’s been longer than 30 days you can file a rule 32 based up ineffective assistance of counsel.

Nothing. They will probably put the case in an administrative docket for six months and then if there are no further problems they will dismiss it.

Yes. He is under a court order to pay you until her 19th birthday.

You can be held in contempt of court which can carry a five day jail sentence for each time you refuse to send the child. Non payment of child support does not give the right to suspend visitation. Go to DHR and sign up for collection of your past due support. Good luck.
