Q: Dtatus Quo Order not being follows by wife. Nothing I can do?!

A: Your lawyer should set a date for a hearing to determine temporary custody and temporary parenting time. But it is likely that your wife will also ask for temporary child and spousal support. This isn't just about her moving to her parents house. It is about transitioning from married to divorced. Your wife needs time to figure out where she is going to live and how she is going to survive financially. Instead of focusing on the technicalities of the status quo order and how to punish your wife, try to look at the reality of the situation. You are going from one household with one set of bills to two households with two sets of bills. If your wife gets a job then you will also be looking at the expensive cost of child care while you both work. It is possible that her living with her parents will save you a ton of money. Maybe this can be just temporary while she goes back to school and builds up her job skills so you aren't burdened with paying spousal support until your child reaches age 18. These are just educated guesses because I really don't know the facts of your specific case. But moves back to stay with family during a divorce are pretty common and sometimes financially necessary. Also keep in mind that a Judge will also evaluate the practicalities of the situation when the matter is heard by the court. One things that Judges appreciate is when parents in conflicted divorce situations try to work calmly and objectively to find practical solutions to a difficult situation.
