I received the final bill, the main one, in 2018 after fighting insurance companies. The custodial parent won't help pay. What can I do? It is thousands.

You can make a demand for payment. You should send the request to him, immediately, "certified mail, return receipt requested."
Keep the green card, as it is your proof of notifying him.
Usually unpaid medical reimbursement is considered unpaid child support, but it... View More

The father's mother (grandmother) has no rights to your daughter and you do not have to allow her access to your daughter.
I would speak with your ex and let him know you are going to file a request for Injunction against Harassment if she does not stop.

He in the last 4 years has see them 50 times? can I refile for more child support for ages 12 and 14. he does live in another state than Az.
answered on Apr 19, 2018
If Arizona ordered the child support, it has "exclusive, continuing jurisdiction." Also, the children reside here (as long as they have been here at least 6 months, so that is another reason the court has jurisdiction.
If the child support was ordered in a different state, you... View More

If you owe child support arrears, you would pay them until they are paid off.
If it is regular child support, a parent can stop paying after the child turns 19 or graduates from high school, whichever comes first.
You can submit a Motion to Modify or you may be able to submit an... View More

Family Law Attorneys are really not authorized to provide tax advice. My advice would be to contact the IRS. You can find their phone number at IRS.gov.
If I was you and I had already claimed your daughter on your tax return, you supported her and did not receive child support from him, I... View More

If you go to azcourts.gov and look under Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure, you will find the applicable rule.
If you need asssitance, I recommend contacting an experienced family law attorney.
Often, questions of venue and jurisdiction are fact based.

Possibly. If you received services through the Department of Economic Security (food stamps, health insurance), the State may have an interest in the funds.
However, you may want to modify child support to make sure you are getting your fair share.

I would be happy to answer your question. If you were the victim of domestic violence, you definitely do not need to ask to press charges, but ultimately, it is up to the state to decide whether to prosecute or not.

First, a parent is required to pay child support until a minor child turns 19 or graduates from high school
How long he has to pay child support will depend on whether there are any child support arrears. If so, he may have to pay child support for many years.
If you need... View More
answered on Apr 12, 2018
It depends. If the child has resided in Arizona for six (6) months or more, Arizona would be considered the "home state" of the minor child, in which case you could have the case transferred to Arizona.
You may also be able to have it transferred if the child has significant ties... View More
He doesn't have any legal document to come to usa
answered on Apr 12, 2018
You should file for child support. He doesn't have to be a citizen to be required to pay child support. You will, however, need to serve him. There are many methods of doing so.
If you need assistance, you should contact an experienced family law attorney.
Complying with everything so far. My question is, Is there anything from a legal perspective that I can do? I was told the case was being closed then called me 2 weeks later wanting us to do a few classes and that's not the case.
answered on Apr 12, 2018
You can certainly ask why they decided not to close the file.
You can also call and ask if you are entitled to a copy of the file or if there is a procedure by which you can request it.
If you need additional assistance, I hope you will contact an experienced family law attorney.
Wife is wanting to buy a home with a seller carry and husband says he'll sign a contract giving up interest in the purchase. Would that work and would it be a contract or a quitclaim deed and would that be recognized as legal during the final divorce? If they are legally separated, does that help?
answered on Apr 10, 2018
A quit claim deed will work but it is better to sign a disclaimer deed and sign and file a "Rule 69 Agreement" with the Court, stating that the spouse who is relinquishing ownership will have no liability whatsoever regarding the loan.

If you are asking about the retirement, the answer is as follows:
You are entitled to 50% of the retirement if it was started during the marriage. If you set up and put your half in a retirement account, neither you nor your wife will be taxed or penalized by the IRS as it is called a... View More
I'm about to file for divorce and I need to know how can I prove that husband's credit card debts
were spent on extra marital affairs. He can't provide proof of what he used the credit card for since
it was over a long period of time.
answered on Apr 9, 2018
You will be able to prove it based upon what is called "Discovery" and/or "Disclosure." Rule 49 of the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure provides that both parties must exchange a limited amount of bank and credit card attorneys.
If I was your lawyer, I would also... View More

Yes. Once a case is started in the court in Arizona, and a preliminary injunction was served, you may not remove the children from the state of Arizona.
I need to file for divorce. Will I be responsible to pay my husband's credit card debt that he incurred in a foreign
country? with a foreign bank.
Especially that I didn't know about this debt, he never told me about this credit card debt.
Please advice.
Thank you!
answered on Apr 8, 2018
If you are getting a divorce in Arizona, the presumption will be that any debt which was incurred during the marriage (other than regarding real property), is community debt, which means you currently each are both responsible for the debt, whether one spouse knew about the debt or not....

Hi. If he hasn't had a relationship with the children and they are that young, your offer is mostly much more reasonable than his demands.
At 8 months old and being breast fed, it is not realistic for him to take them for extended periods of time.
What courts usually do, if... View More

If he is the father of the children, he will most likely pay child support. Regarding parenting time, I would need to know more about the father, the children and their relationships.
In your situation I would definitely contact an experienced family law attorney,

It does not expire. If you met with a particular attorney, that particular attorney should never meet with a person who has a grievance with you. The attorney has a fiduciary duty to you which will never expire.
