I suggest that you hire a lawyer that is familiar with CP&P procedures and policies. Once a judge has made an order it is rare that a judge will change this order without supporting case law and legal arguments. Sure a lawyer that handles these types of cases is not free and you can spend a... View More

Although a Judge cannot force her to work, he can impute income to her. You will need to have a consultation with a matrimonial attorney to see if it is cost effective to fight this. Good luck.

There is no such thing as a "usual determination", every case is unique. You need to have a consultation with an experienced matrimonial attorney to discuss the exact facts of your case. The attorney can then advise you as to how to proceed. Good luck.

No attorney is going to provide you with free legal research. If you want to have an attorney represent you, then you can chose from one of the many fine attorneys on this website. I am certain that you do not work for free, so I hope you understand that attorneys do not do so either. This is a... View More

Your local police dept has no clue how to handle this type of situation. You need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney, who understands how to deal with a complex case. The attorney would need to see all your legal pleadings. Good luck and do not give up hope.

You may need to retain counsel to make certain that you have the correct support order in place or in the alternative that support is supposed to be payable through Probation via wage garnishment. At the very least, you should have an attorney review your existing legal pleadings. Good luck.

Notarized papers, do not necessary have legal significance. You would have to meet with an attorney, bring in all your documents and then the attorney can advise you what the best course of action is. Good luck.

If they don't, the record has most likely been archived or sent elsewhere for storage. In such a case, they can provide information on who you... View More
