The courts have said that people should honor their parenting time arrangements. If you feel your children are safe with you, you should still have your parenting time. You can file a motion to enforce the parenting time. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
no work since stay at home order , whats the steps if sheriff shows up?
answered on Apr 16, 2020
If this is not a court order yet, no eviction will occur for quite some time. The courts are not holding eviction hearings and the Sheriff is not doing them either. Also, there are other restrictions if the property has a federally backed mortgag. So you are probably ok for now.

I think this should be resolved at your hearing. It is unlikely that the court will address this before then. Most courts are hearing only emergency matters-this would not qualify. You should get a lawyer if you don't have one already.
My daughter has really bad asthma and they are always going to the dr. Can I call child protective services
answered on Apr 14, 2020
I doubt CPS will view this as serious enough to intervene. You may want to pursue something in the divorce court requesting a change in the parenting time arrangement. You should get a lawyer for this.

If things are as you say, then the house went to his mother upon her boyfriend's death. The house will now go to the mother's children equally. He should get a lawyer for this.

If you have a decree of legal separation in Colorado, you can apply to transfer that into a decree of dissolution of marriage (divorce). You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

This really depends on the exact language of the PNA. you should have a lawyer review it and advise you.
I would like to do this without making any other changes to the divorce agreement (i.e. length of terms). I am worried that changing one thing in the settlement will open other areas for negotiation.
answered on Mar 27, 2020
It is possible that changing the amount may lead to other changes in maintenance or child support It should not lead to any changes in custody or property division. you should get a lawyer to help you with this.

If there is a court order limiting communication to TalkingParents, he may be in violation of the court order. If so, you could consider citing him for contempt. You should get a lawyer to help you.

No. Only the court can modify court-ordered child support/alimony. A party wanting a modification has to file a motion to modify with the court.
I am looking for something that explains if its legally binding
answered on Mar 20, 2020
Colorado recognizes CLM. It is equally valid as a ceremonial marriage. It requires that both of you intend to be married and that you live together. This is usually indicated by holding yourselves out to the community as a married couple. Also, you need to be legally able to be married-e.g: not... View More
if I do refinance before I'm Legally divorced is that considered maritial property and will he be entitled to half of the house? I Live in Colorado Thank you So much for your time...
answered on Mar 16, 2020
just refi-ing the house will not change things so long as you do not put him on the deed. However, any increase in value of the house that occurs during the marriage is considered marital property, subject to an equitable (meaning "fair", not necessarily equal)) division. You should get a... View More

You should comply with the court-ordered parenting plan. You should consult with a lawyer to review the entire parenting plan and advise you how to proceed.
We are amicable, have already dividied assets, have no kids,
Do we still have to do a mandatory reporting to one another?
Can I do this process myself or better w an atty ?
answered on Mar 10, 2020
I suggest you start with a NY attorney to see what needs to be done. For instance, in Colorado, you can change a decree of legal separation to a decree of dissolution (divorce) after six months by filing an election to do so.

If you are an adult (age 18), you can get a protection order based on these facts. If you are a minor, your mother can get a protection order for her and you. You or your mother should get a lawyer to help you with this.
I am getting ready to sell, as we BOTH agreed on, and now she's trying to interfere saying that she gets a say in every offer, etc I have.
answered on Mar 2, 2020
This depends on the wording of your Separation Agreement or Court Orders. That should spell out how the sale is to occur. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
My annual bonus was paid in Feb 2019 and divorce was final in June 2019. Bonus was considered marital property and split at time.

The court should use your current income. Sometimes, your prior years' income is considered a good indicator of your current income. You should run the child support calculations to see if it really makes much difference. Your contribution to your son's expenses will only matter if he is... View More
I did file bankruptcy in August that was discharged in December. And I do know that two of the debts are now going after him, but he still owes me money from his retirement. And that this new lawyer is representing him with that. We did not have lawyers for the divorce originally.

So your ex has hired a lawyer. The Entry of Appearance is the lawyer's way of stating the lawyer is the attorney for your ex in this case. That lawyer is probably going to file a motion of some kind. You should get a lawyer yourself.
There are no minor children and my spouse has been absent from the marriage for 8 years.

No. You also need to file a Petition. You need to provide each other with your mandatory disclosures and certify that you have done so. You will need to file a Separation Agreement and Parenting Plan. You need to provide a form of Decree. You should get a lawyer to help you with all this.
My ex wife claims she pay her bf 1300 month rent.
I want to see if he is claming it on his income tax as part of reviewing child support and maintenance
answered on Feb 14, 2020
You can try. He could object. Then it's up to the judge to decide whether that is proper. Usually, you would have to have a very good reason to do this. He is not really involved and he has a right to privacy in his tax returns.
