If a person files a motion pro se to suspend parenting time, are they obligated to serve the opposing party? What if the opposing party doesn’t find out about the motion until after the order has been granted?
answered on Jul 25, 2020
Proper service of the Motion MUST be given to the opposing party. It is unlikely that the judge would enter an Order without evidence of the necessary Notice that should have been given. If an Order does get entered, and the other party doesn't find out about it until afterwards, he or she can... View More

If you have joint decision making and he does not want them to attend school, your agreement should state that you go to mediation. At mediation, you decide whether or not you agree. If you do not reach an agreement at mediation, he has the right to ask you to go to court.

No, you cannot decide where you want to live, whether they are married or not.
He is moving out of the state and has no established place to live yet. It is true that I would have to also find a smaller living arrangement eventually, but I have always been the one to take care of their finances, medical, and well being. Could he argue that I do not have a permanent living... View More

If the dogs were purchased during the marriage they are considered marital property regardless of who paid for them. That means that if you and your spouse cannot agree on who gets the dogs, the court will decide.

You cannot simply remove your name from the mortgage. The lender will not allow that. They will relieve you from responsibility for the mortgage when the house gets sold or when your husband refinances and gets a new loan. You should consult with a divorce lawyer.

If it has been within 30 days of the entry of any order, or no order has ever been entered, then you should be fine. Make sure you file a motion to vacate or an appearance immediately.

We divorced in 2010 and he received custody of the kids. We have since gotten back together and remarried. Did the original decree become null and void when we remarried? If we get divorced again will it take effect or will a new one be in place?
This was a few months ago and I lived in my own place. I have no history of abuse or records. Will this affect my mothers ability to get custody of my brother?

The house is currently being paid off with commingled funds and I have contributed financially to the improvement of the home. My husband has it in a premarital living trust. We do not have a prenup but all of his assets are in a premarital revocable trust. Do I get nothing if we split?

The marital estate should be reimbursed for the marital funds that were spent on the home improvements. Whether it should be reimbursed for the principal reduction of the house payments is something to be argued on a case by case basis.
