My husbands ex has 4 kids by 4 different men and only takes him with child support.
answered on May 11, 2020
As long as she is asking for child support that is only his child and not all three, then that is legal. Reprehensible, but not illegal. Now, if she asked him for child support for a child that is not his through the courts, that would not be legal.

I agree with Mr. Bennett. Having said that, there are some requests that may be subject to objection. You need the assistance of an attorney.

If you have an attorney, then tell your attorney. It sounds as if you are in a divorce proceeding and he may have violated the automatic injunction. If you do not have an attorney, get one.

Normally, a power of attorney can simply be ended by the rejection of the POA. However, it this is court ordered as you question suggests, he will need to retain counsel, file a petition and have a hearing to prove the POA is no longer needed.
I have been under an ex parte order of protection for 6 months. Does this violate my due process rights?

At this time the Tennessee Supreme Court has issued Orders continuing Order of Protections until it determines it is relatively safe to conduct hearings. So, no under these circumstances your rights have not been violated. If you do not have an attorney, you need to get one asap.

You need to consult with a local family law attorney to see if you are indeed married and to begin getting child support whether or not you are legally married.

Please do not identify anyone specifically by name as this may expose you to a defamation action if your accusations are not true. If you allege that he moved to another state illegally and he in fact followed the law, then you could get in trouble. Assuming he did get custody, then as a parent you... View More

My mother in law drew $7,228 in Families First benefits. Should my ex husband and I both be paying back $7,633 each?
answered on Apr 21, 2020
I am not sure if the amount you stated is the total amount owed. Generally, it appears that a child support order was entered and if so, both you and your ex would be jointly liable for the amount. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney for your best options.
She was born in another state and relocated with her mother to TN. The mother did not inform the state she was born outside of the state when child support was enforced.
answered on Apr 21, 2020
Generally, jurisdiction follows the child. Whether the case should have been initiated in either the foreign state or TN depends on several factors. How long had the child been in TN. Was the child legitimated? If so, where? Is the action in TN for enforcement purposes only? You should consult with... View More

Absent an order from the court barring you access to those records, yes you have a right to see the medical records. Look at you Permanent Parenting Plan and consult a local family law attorney for your best course of action.

How will this affect my child support payment. We have joint residential custody but she has primary residential custody

The question is whether a recalculation of your child support would make a 15% difference in the amount ordered. You should consult a local experienced family law attorney for your best options.

You need to enroll the foreign order in child's jurisdiction. You need to retain an experienced family lawyer in that jurisdiction, which should not cost much. The cost comes in when you decide to bring an action to enforce the order for contempt.
