Unless that person has a background where they could be determined dangerous to children (drugs, criminal, CPS, etc) or this person moving in would make it so the children did not have adequate sleeping arrangements, this should not jeopardize custody.

kids wants to stay here in Michigan with their dad. No one pays child support now to each other as it stands. We don't want to either. Do we need the court's permission?
answered on Jul 18, 2014
If you were divorced, pursuant to the judgment of divorce the children remain under the jurisdiction of the Court until the turn 18. Any move out of state would have to be approved by the Court.

We have a three-month refinance trial period. We paid on time each month. The third payment - due on 7/1 - was electronically made on 6/27. The mortgage company claimed that they processed the payment on 7/2, thus nullifying the refinance modification.

Get documentation from your bank showing the payment was made on the 27th. See if you can also get documentation from them about when it was received by the lender. Provide this documentation to the lender to see if they will approve the modification.

If your mom has custody - she makes the decisions. Depending on how far away she is moving, what situations are like with your dad - your parents could possibly discuss different options for you that may involve staying.

You need an attorney involved immediately. A custody or paternity action needs to be filed in the courts to get him designated as the father, and awarded specific parenting times and parental rights. Contact an attorney immediately.

Your income will not be used to calculate child support, only his income will be used.

Unless you can reach an agreement (you have the child every Saturday while he is working, he has the child every Sunday), you need to follow the Order, or file a Motion to ask that the Order to be changed. If you file a Motion, you can request to have the right of first refusal, where if he will... View More

If you are receiving any type of public assistance (medicaid, food stamps, etc). you will not have an option to do this. Also, typically if there has been domestic violence of any type in the past between the parties, the Court will not allow direct handling of child support.

His mother lives in GA. My son and I still live in Detroit, MI. I need to know if I should be proactive before time for him to leave in August. I'd like to avoid any gaps in support because I am currently unemployed.

Typically child support ends with the child graduates from high school or reaches the age of 18 - whichever is later. You most likely will not be receiving support once your son attends Brown.

My mom doesn't let me say what I want to say I feel like her mold and I think I might have depression I wanna live with my dad. Is there a way. Will my siblings get taken away from her if I do leave?
answered on Jun 30, 2014
This is something that your parents need to discuss, not you. Should your father want to pursuit custody of you, he would need to file a motion. Through that process, the judge or the Friend of the Court may interview you about how you feel about things. It is possible for him to have custody of... View More

Yes, he will most likely have to pay support. It could happen one of several ways. Assuming they were not married, if she ever files for assistance (medicaid, food stamps, etc) they will start a child support case against him. If he wants to pursuit parenting time, they would also start a... View More
Bills incurred middle of Feb. this year. Total amount exceeds what I could possibly pay in my entire lifetime.
Cannot proceed with this if spouse's credit would be affected in any way. He IS NOT named on any of the bills or paperwork.
answered on Jun 26, 2014
As long as your husband is not listed as a responsible party for the bills and he continues to pay all bills in his name on time, you can have them discharged in the bankruptcy and this will not effect his credit in any way.

The amount of your bills/debts do not qualify you for filing bankruptcy - your income does. Here is a link to a table that contains basic income limits for bankruptcy qualification: http://www.justice.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/20140501/bci_data/median_income_table.htm

How will this affect me? Do i need to do anything? I have 3 joint credit cards that I took in our divorce.
answered on Jun 25, 2014
You need to review your Judgment of Divorce. After she files for bankruptcy, you will be solely responsible for repayment of the 3 joint credit cards. If, in your judgment of divorce, it is ordered that she pay these cards, it is possible that you can bring her back into court and file a motion... View More

If a party voluntarily changes/reduces their income, often you can have income they should be earning imputed to them for purposes of calculating child support. If the Friend of the Court does not do this automatically or by your request, you would need to file a Motion requesting this be done.... View More
She only lets me get her when she wants to go somewhere or do something. I havent seen my baby in 2 months
answered on Jun 25, 2014
If you are on the birth certificate but not married, you most likely had to sign an affidavit of parentage when the child was born. Right on the affidavit, it states that the mother is presumed to have custody of the child until a court order is entered stating otherwise.

Does husbands wife have any rights to baby or does she have to adopt him
answered on Jun 25, 2014
In order for the husband's wife to have any rights, she would need to adopt the child (and have the mother's rights terminated). In order to do this - the husband must have sole legal custody first. During the process right now, it is very important to get sole legal custody if you want... View More

During the divorce process, it is quite common to add language that neither party can expose the children to unrelated members of the opposite sex during the divorce process. After the divorce, unless the girlfriend has some type of background that suggests she would be a threat to the children,... View More
