Yes, unfortunately, the apartment can still come after you for the debt that you signed on for with your husband, and any of your other creditors for the same type of situation can also come after you. While your divorce agreement is a court order and does make your ex-husband liable for the debts,... View More

They are selling their house in Northern Indiana since he lost his job. She is moving back to Johnson county, he is moving to Marion county for a job. Where do they file for divorce?

At least one of the parties will need to have lived in the county of filing at least 3 months prior to the date of filing. Therefore, if they are both living in northern Indiana and have been for some time, they should file in their county there.

He received 37,000 for the sale and put in into our joint account. One month later, he took all of the money from the joint account and left me with 600. Can he do that?

Based on your question no the court can't order her to get a real job, she is employed. You can request that her boyfriends income be imputed but there is no guarantee it will by the court.
She was initially self admitted, however is being transferred from a stress center to "another facility" that the staff will not disclose to any one. The will not even confirm that she is at the stress center at this time, although her mother confirms that she is there.

She filed for divorce in a county we do NOT have residence in (her mom and dad's home). She moved herself there with my son under the pretense that she would be seeing a specialist for his health and doing work while her parents babysit. I was more than taken by surprise by the divorce... View More

Based on your question the residency requirement is 3 months in any county in the State of Indiana. You are still the biological parent and should have custody and parenting time. You need to seek counsel to address these matters.
No kids, but solely involves a single dollar amount he was to pay. He has not paid it and his lawyer is failing to respond to any phone call and email I make and send. I was going to file a contempt motion but was not sure this was the best route.

Based on your question a contempt citation should be filed.
I had until 12/16 to be paid the money and move out. I did so and signed a quit claim deed in order to be considered by my new mortgage company for a loan on a new house. Now the ex won’t sign the loan assumption papers or refinance... what can I do?

Your redress is through the court that ordered your divorce. Your ex has violated the court order. You will file a Rule To Show Cause, and because he has violated the order you might be able to get an attorney to represent you to get an order demanding he pay your fees. If you don’t want to hire... View More
Our divorce decree does not state whose address is her legal address. My address is used for health insurance as I carry it and her dad's address is used for school. She will be getting her license soon and we are not sure what address should be used.
answered on Jan 20, 2020
You should consider modifying the decree to explicitly state the Child's formal address. This could continue to cause problems down the line.
We do not have joint custody. I have custody of the oldest, my ex has custody of the two younger. Where in the guidelines does it address split custody child support?

Your situation would be addressed directly by the Indiana Child Support Calculator, which takes into account any additional child support obligations of either party. Hope that helps.

If you are asking if you will be required to file a child support worksheet in cases where you share joint physical custody then the answer is most likely "yes". It is not necessarily the case that neither party pays support when they share equal time with their children. Indiana... View More
We both live in Marshall county. She filed in St. Joe. Can we still get divorced? Is that allowed?
