Q: Can my kids father claim our kids (continued)
When we go to court he will ask the judge to allow him to file. Is there a way to bring my concerns of him not honoring our previous agreements that he is not using the money he gets from his returns on the kids, when technically he didn't financially provide for the kids for the percentage the law requires for him to claim (more than 50%). He shouldn't be able to get a credit for financial responsibilities he did not fully contribute to, claim them and run off with money because of them. The money should be directed back to the care of the kids and not for him to waste. Do I have a defense with my concerns?
A: These are questions you should be asking your lawyer. With limited information it is impossible to tell you definitively how to organize and present arguments in court. I urge you to consult with your lawyer regarding your concerns, or, if you weren't represented, then consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area. In the meeting the lawyer can review your specific situation and give you well-informed advice.
