I no longer practice law and am only finishing up a few cases so I cannot assist you, I can only state basic principles.

I don’t understand the “$800 later”. If you only put 800 out of pocket consider yourself lucky.

If you want to sue her fraud you probably could, but the... View More

Your redress is through the court that ordered your divorce. Your ex has violated the court order. You will file a Rule To Show Cause, and because he has violated the order you might be able to get an attorney to represent you to get an order demanding he pay your fees. If you don’t want to hire... View More

I don’t know where you are getting the language from but the ALJ is the Administrative Law Judge. So it’s in the pipeline waiting for the Judge to write something,

If self represented, you’ll get a CD before your hearing. If represented, your Atty should be able to view the file at any time. SSA controls when people can/cannot view their file.

You can file and ask for a provisional hearing, during which you can ask for provisional support.

It depends on what terms are breached, but generally yes. Contact an attorney in your county and he or she can tell you how.

You need an attorney yesterday. Anyone who has substantial assets needs an attorney. He should get half minus the value of his business but it appears you aren’t calculating it properly. You really need an attorney!

You need to make an argument about that. You need to get her current pay stubs and yours. If you don’t have attorneys the judge will have to calculate or you can use the online calculator.

They can take her YTD or her current salary. Make sure to identify the date new CP numbers will go... View More

You probably need an attorney to file a motion to sell the home if it cannot be refinanced.

The judge cannot force someone to give him a loan. You need to ask for an alternative remedy.

The filing fee can vary by a few dollars county to county, but our office generally pays $ 182 for Porter county including credit card fees. There is an additional fee for personal service. This fee is paid by the client.

As for retainers I am personally aware that retainers range from... View More

File contempt charges against him. The order is the order until he asks the court to change. If he files a motion, the court will reduce CP until he gets a job. If he’s legit.

You need to file contempt charges(AKA Rule To Show Cause). Go to the clerk of court tell them what you need to file and maybe they have a form. If they don’t, type up a doc that has a similar heading to the others, number your paragraphs and say what happened in one sentence each. Ask for a... View More

You would file contempt charges against him if your order states he needs to take the house out of your name. Sounds like he has bad credit now so you’d have to ask the Judge to order the sale of the house.

This is not a question; a litigant in this situation needs an attorney who will demand statements of retirement accounts, by subpoena if necessary. Both the attorney and client need to feel satisfied that all discovery has been exchanged. In Lake County a “readiness certificate” must be filed... View More

You don’t. Having bank accounts separated is also irrelevant unless by agreement. Therefore, you can protect yourself by agreement only, no other method is foolproof. I would hire an attorney who would negotiate this with your spouse or wait until you have time to negotiate after filing.

Yes. You cannot get divorced in IN for 60 days post filing so it would be assumed you would file before the property settlement. In mediation you might do the two simultaneously but you still have to wait 60 days.

I highly doubt it. A decree has to be issued. If you haven’t re wives the decree either you were unreachable or it was never filed. If in Indiana call the office at 219-508-8607 Tuesday. I’m in another stare call the clerk of the court.

It’s possible. If your spouse lives in the old County you can keep it there, but you don’t technically have the residency requirements for three months after you move. Within the 3 months you could transfer by agreement.

First of all, most courts won’t let you finalize your divorce until paternity is proven, and that means the baby will have to be born. If he is violent with you, ask for a protective order. That way with the protective order in effect when your divorce is finalized, it will be easier to show... View More

If you have an order that says you have joint residential custody, you might be able to get the police to help you get your children. If you have joint legal custody but not residential, you’ll need to file for emergency custody.
