The divorce included a parenting plan. I didn’t think to look at the child birthday vs marriage date. I had no knowledge in any law. How does this affect court documents and cases?

Anything you purchased during the marriage could be considered marital property, even a property in another country the spouse has never seen.
answered on Apr 18, 2024
Please get a lawyer. Until you receive a final judgment and decree of divorce, signed by a judge, you're married. And anything you buy while married, could be considered marital property, even if you're separated. That's why you shouldn't go out and buy a new house while... View More
I filed for an uncontested divorce in Henry County, GA, on 2/16/24, with no assets to split or children in the marriage. I received notice on 3/25/24 that the judge would not enter an order at this time as a Motion for Judgement on the Pleadings had been filed with the Court.

You have opted to represent yourself. Which means, you have to file the proper documents in order to obtain a divorce, just as if you were an attorney. They have given you the name of the motion that needs to be filed, but they will not instruct you as to how to draft said motion. If you are... View More

You can hire an attorney and have the papers drafted. They can then see if the father will sign the papers. If the father will not sign the divorce documents, you will need to file for divorce and have the father served. And there is a way to perfect proper service on a defendant who is... View More
We have 3 children together 2 are over 18 and one is in the custody of his mother. I had 2 more with another man but they have had there paternity established already. So can I file a divorce without minor children?
answered on Apr 8, 2024
If you in fact have minor children then you need to file for divorce and state that you have minor children. I would speak directly to an attorney
answered on Mar 13, 2024
There should have been instructions on how to respond on the summons you received. If you need further assistance you should consider hiring an attorney to represent you.
I have an existing child support case, and we agree on everything, and do not have any assets to split
answered on Mar 13, 2024
I'm not sure what your existing child support case has to do with your divorce unless you are wanting credit for the current order with regard to a new order that may come out of your divorce. If a divorce is truly uncontested then you would have all the proper paperwork signed and it would... View More
I was in a long distance relationship with my spouse, who would visit the U.S. to see me often. However, he lives in Canada. He has never lived in the U.S., only visited. On his last visit, we got married. But, never have lived together.
answered on Mar 21, 2024
You can have an uncontested divorce and both of you can sign all of the necessary paperwork. Or if your spouse refuses to sign all the required documents, you will have to file for divorce and have him served, where ever he may be located.
We live in separate counties. I asked the Superior Clerk about filing fees and he inquired about the counties we live in. When I told him my husband was in another county, I was informed he'd have to be the one to file as the Plaintiff. This does not matter to us who is listed as who. We just... View More

It would probably be helpful if you hired an attorney, because the employees at the clerk's office are not suppose to give you legal advice. If it is a truly uncontested divorce where both spouses are going to sign the papers, you can file in your county. That is because your spouse is not... View More

You can keep your current name or have your maiden name restored. You will need to inform the Court which option you are choosing and I would advise you to hire an attorney to represent you in this divorce.

When faced with a divorce situation where you and your wife are in different states, the choice of where to file for divorce can depend on residency requirements.

If you ever get divorced, and your spouse asks for some equity out of the home, the Court will determine if he is owed anything and if so, what he is owed. And they may consider any money he has put into the home, any money he has paid on the home, whether joint funds contributed to the remodel or... View More

It didn't matter how much evidence I had against the plaintiff or proof he was lying she specifically said she did not care and continue not to look at any of my evidence

Unfortunately, sometimes judges don't listen to pro se litigants representing themselves. If you felt like the judge wasn't being unbiased, then my best advice would be to hire an attorney.
