Loan. Then we have a home together. If I sell my rental then file for divorce do I have to split the proceeds from the sell of my rental in the divorce?
The rental property is separate property because you purchased it before the marriage.

He signed a quitclaim deed when I bought.

It depends on the expressed intent of the parties at the time of execution of that Quit Claim deed and it depends on... Read more »
Prior divorce never went through because the petitioner never followed through
Of course you should respond. Hire an attorney. You have a void marriage with a petition for dissolution pending. Don’t self represent.

You don't want to discontinue payments without obtaining a court order allowing you to do so. Just stopping payments will put you in violation of existing orders (or your Judgment). You can obtain this order by stipulation between the parties or by filing a Request for Order re Modification... Read more »

My husband has wrong thinking when it comes to education and medical institutions. We are heading towards a divorce. I want to ask for the right level of custody that will both allow him to be involved as a father but prevent him from being able to make harmful decisions regarding our son.
You can draft your judgment to put limits on legal custody. For example, you can give yourself "tie-breaking" authority, and/or include language about reasonableness of decisions or of withholding or denying consent to education or medical care.

My x husband didn't pay me what the judge had ordered him to pay in our divorce
You don't need to renew your judgment. What you need is to enforce it. You need to find an attorney who does collections or judgment enforcement proceedings/procedures.
I have a court order from 2005 that states I may claim my daughter for tax purposes only as a non custodial parent. In 2015, I was back in court for changes on visitation and child support payments. Does the 2005 order of tax claiming still carry over onto the 2015 court orders? The topic of taxes... Read more »
Court orders remain in full force and effect until/unless they are modified. If the 2015 order did not modify the 2005 order with respect to the tax exemption, then that part of the 2005 order is still in effect. Without actually seeing the orders however, I cannot say this with absolute... Read more »

Retain legal counsel. You need to make the right arguments, properly submit your evidence and properly cite the law in responding to the father's requests. A 50/50 schedule between two counties for a 10 month old is unlikely going to be seen by the judge as in the child's best interests.
If a couple gets married and buy a house together but one spouse puts more money down on the house for instance from the sale of a home they owned prior to the marriage, will that spouse be entitled to what they put down plus half of the gain in equity of the house during the marriage?
If the down payment can be traced to a separate property source, the spouse making that part of the down payment will be entitled to reimbursement of that down payment. That reimbursement credit will be taken off the top of the sale proceeds (or total equity) before the community's share is... Read more »
