Yes you do. How much that will be depends on numerous statutory factors. For spousal support it depends in part on lifestyle during the marriage, the income of each party, incomes during the marriage and how much each spouse contributed to maintaining the lifestyle to which you became accustomed...

Of course not. If you had even 1% custody of your child it would not be appropriate for the other parent to keep the child from you or to hide her.
If husband suddenly stops sending me money as we agreed, can I ask a lawyer to help me sue him?
The question isn't whether it's "legal", but whether it is legally enforceable. While it's not enforceable as a court order, because it is not a court order, it could be enforceable as a legally binding contract. Without seeing the document it is impossible to say whether... Read more »
But she isn’t due until thanksgiving, how do I go about getting the process started? I make roughly 130k annually, what will I be expecting for child support?
1) she does not need your consent to move to GA; 2) not enough information here to predict for you what you will be required to pay in support.

Assuming you have not yet inherited that property and therefore do not own that property, your status as a beneficiary does not in and of itself preclude you from seeking SD.
I divorced my ex-wife and we came to a custody agreement which we followed until we got back together. We never got remarried and were only living together and dating. I also had another child with her after the old custody agreement so I know he's not covered by it.
Things aren't... Read more »
What kind of an agreement are you talking about? Was this a stipulated court order, or just an informal agreement between the two of you. If it was not made into a court order or judgment it was never enforceable to begin with and is not enforceable now. If you want something enforceable, you... Read more »
I have sole physical custody and share legal custody, my ex currently lives in another state and I am thinking about moving out of California to another state not near him.
Court orders do not change until someone files a motion to have the orders modified. If you move and do nothing with respect to your existing court orders, they will not change.
Unpaid child/spousal support shall accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. What you owe is the principle debt plus interest. How much you owe depends on what the principle debt is. 4k does sound a bit high, but I have no idea how much you actually owe as arrears and what you... Read more »
My VA Disability has been used as "income" in calculating alimony due to my ex-wife, but I cannot find a California Family Code that specifically mentions that VA Disability can be used in the computation of income. I have found other codes that mention "income" (which... Read more »
Authority is not found in the Family Code. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act, found at 10 U.S.C. §1408 – exempts VA disability payments from division upon divorce. The provisions of Title 38 make it clear however, that Congress intended that VA benefits may be... Read more »
She is entitled to whatever she was awarded in the Judgment. If you were awarded the property, it's still yours. If you want her off the deed, you will need to refinance.
Do I have to turn in a Property Declaration Form (FL-160) or will we be able to discuss that in mediation? I haven't turned in any papers to the court yet so I do not have the initial court date to start the process. I know the papers have to be seen by a judge in order to have a court date... Read more »
If you plan on representing yourself and not using an attorney, you can review the court's on-line self help library. https://www.courts.ca.gov/selfhelp-divorce.htm Otherwise, to get it done right the first time, I recommend you hire a family law/divorce attorney to handle the matter for you.
The trust was set up by his parents
Inheritance is the separate property of the beneficiary.

The status of your case is not clear. You say you had a 730 evaluation and you also say you are already divorced. You also say you and your daughter are "reunited". What do you mean "what do I do now" and what do you need help with? Did you get custody of your daughter in... Read more »

I have expressed my concern and that I think he needs to wait at least until he is symptom free before being around our children to be cautious and prevent... Read more »
He got tested. I would expect a responsible parent would not expose his children in the event he tests positive -- whether he tells you the test results or not. In fact, I believe we have all been told that if anyone tests positive for Covid-19 that they should quarantine and isolate themselves... Read more »
