We filled for divorce 2 years ago in NJ. My wife moved to FL 1.5 years ago, although there is no written agreement to allow this. I now also live in FL. Do we have to move the case to FL? Is FL a better state for me from a child support perspective or is NJ?

Only your wife can do this. You and she must sign the title over to just her, or however its done in Georgia post-divorce. That takes care of ownership. There's nothing anyone can do to take you off the loan, except your wife or you by paying it off. The divorce decree did not affect your... View More

If you've got everything set I'd recommend attempting a dissolution. Your county's domestic relation court will very likely have forms for this exact scenario that will allow you to dissolve your marriage if the two of you are indeed in full agreement.

Nothing. If someone refuses to sign the proper documents then you cannot file an uncontested divorce. You then have a contested divorce. You cannot force your spouse to sign papers they refuse to sign. So you would then file the proper pleadings, and have your spouse legally served. Your... View More

If the judge in your divorce case approved the agreement in which your ex-husband is to pay you a certain amount per month, your ex cannot on his own just decide to start paying you less - if he tries to do that, I suggest you file a motion and set up a hearing in front of the judge to consider...
