You must follow the court order until another order modifies it, regardless of your financial situation. If you can no longer afford what you have been ordered to pay, you should file for a modification. Now you can't pay what you don't have, but you could be found in contempt if you... View More

You should take a look at the contract or agreement you signed with your attorney. Because we do not know if it was a flat rate you paid and if so, what was included in that flat rate. And if it was not a flat rate and you had a retainer fee, what the terms of that retainer fee were, for example,... View More

If you called the police there is typically a police report, whether charges were pressed or not. If there is no report for some odd reason, unfortunately, you will not have any proof to submit in Court. I would urge you to hire an attorney to represent you in this divorce so they can gather the... View More

As an attorney, I have never received a response like that from the Court. Therefore, it is possible there was an error or error(s) with your motions. And since I have never received that response, and have not seen your paperwork, I can't tell you why your motions were denied, nor can... View More

If you are going to handle your own divorce then you have to fill out the paperwork yourself. We cannot advise you on how to fill out pro se paperwork. See the website for instructions or visit a family law information center for assistance.

You can either come to an agreement or file a contested divorce and resolve the issue in the divorce proceeding. You might also consider mediation as an alternative if you think there is a possibility that a third party might be able to facilitate an agreement with your wife.

A trial will not move forward until proof of service has been filed. If you don't have any kind of legal service on the defendant, you will not obtain a divorce. He has to be served and there are multiple ways to serve.

There's no form for that. That is a motion that has to be drafted, most of the time attorney's draft that motion. If you are not hiring an attorney you can google and see what examples you can find online. But the chances of a non-attorney getting a motion like that granted is very... View More

Unfortunately attorneys also need to be paid when they work. I would suggest a legal aide.

If a person does not abide by the Order of the Court, then the remedy is to file a Contempt Action against that person. If the Court finds the person to be in contempt, then the Judge can sanction the person with jail time for their failure to comply with the Court Order.

The other side only has to submit documents if you have asked for them the correct way. If you have properly filed and served request for production of documents, interrogatories and request for admissions, you have to follow up to make an effort to resolve the dispute.

The uncontested divorce includes child support if there are minor children born of the parties. You will need to submit to the Court a child support worksheet and child support addendum.
I am the custodial parent of our two children and our divorce was final in 2002. The decree states that my ex "has a major medical policy in effect for the children".

My best advice is to get your money together to hire an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney you will have to take him back to court representing yourself.

Your rights are the same whether she commits adultery or not. Adultery doesn't change your rights. Adultery may come into play when the Court considers how to distribute the marital property. But one party having fault in a GA divorce doesn't necessarily mean the other is granted... View More

There are aspects of the divorce that can be modified (i.e. child support, parenting time, etc.). But setting aside a divorce requires very specific details. If you believe that you should have not gotten a divorce from your spouse, you can explore marrying them again, if they are willing.

If a court order says you pay child support then you pay child support. If the order doesn't suspend child support during periods of visitation then child support remains the same, even during those periods. The child support worksheet you should have had, when this support was calculated,... View More
