During mediation we agreed to only communicate through a 3rd party website such as Talkingparents.com. OUr children are grown adults. How long do either of us have to abide by that agreement now that the divorce is final?

If so, you will have to abide by it unless the court modifies that part of the order.However, if that order was part of the parenting plan, you may not have to abide by it since the children are now legal...

I have a signed and notarized document from my children's mom saying she does not want to seek back pay child support
answered on Jan 15, 2018

Have 100 % of his pension. It was not mentioned again and it is not in the paperwork. My ex is still working but when he retires will I still be entitled to at least half?
answered on Jan 8, 2018
The only legal way for you to receive any portion of his pension is through a valid court order. It is more difficult to do this after the divorce is final. You may be able to reopen the case for this purpose. You should retain an attorney to help you with this immediately!
She has bad credit with no possible co-signer for a refinance, I just want this car loan off me as fast as possible as it is causing issues in my new relationship.

You may be stuck unless she can refinance the loan. The lender will not release you until the loan is paid off. Maybe the car should be sold to pay off the loan.
