the case was supposed to be closed because the order states but the mother went back and had it reopend because the kids are in their last year of school the children are both 18 he was not notified and his employer was not informed

Simply because a case is closed does not mean it cannot be reopened. In the state of GA child support should be paid until the children turn 18 and have graduated from high school, that is, if it is a GA child support order. If the order was signed in another state, then the non-custodial parent... View More 
Counterclaim has been filed and there’s no response to my counterclaim. The courts are giving the plaintiff 90 days to respond. Plaintiff already missed the 1st deadline to respond. Can I file something to before the 90 days are up to dismiss the case
answered on Jan 30, 2023
It's likely that a Motion to Dismiss will be denied. The Court is going to set a trial for the Plaintiff's contempt motion to be heard. I would focus on preparing for that hearing so that you can respond to the evidence and testimony. I would also advise you to hire an attorney prior... View More

If your child's mother did not have the job and business during the child support case when the current order was established and this occurred after the order was signed, then you may have a material change in circumstances that might qualify you for a modification of child support. Also, if... View More

You need to ask a Kentucky lawyer. Laws are different state by state.

In the absence of a court custody decree, a child’s father has the exact same legal rights as a child’s mother.
Would you be upset if he was tracking you when the child was with you?

No one can force her to work. You can file a modification and try to prove she is capable of earning more. Also, you have to fact in thr cost of child care if she were to work. You would have to contribute to that also.

In a contempt case, you have to prove that you have exhausted all resources in order to avoid contempt. Your being able to work is not the only solution. Sometimes, people have to borrow money, take a loan from a bank, or sell assets in order to come up with the money.

The court is not required to wait until you are ready. You need to hire an attorney immediately to represent your interests. A letter isn't able to be used to stop or slow down the case.

Every other weekend is exactly what it sounds like. Numbered weekends are different. In order for an attorney to correctly interpret what your parenting plan says, you should set up a consultation so they can review the plan and give you advice based on what it says.

She is not obligated to agree to what you want. No one can make anyone sign anything. I'm sure your attorney has a worksheet prepared and will do their best to get her to sign. But we all have free will. If she doesn't want to sign, then you have to go to court in order to get the... View More

Yes, you need to keep paying it. Child support and parenting time are not connected. If you need help with parenting time, contact an attorney.

You need to speak to an attorney about this. It is possible to note the husband has no responsibility for the other child, but it must be done correctly. Legally, all children born during the marriage are legally the husband's.
