Q: For the past 5 days, my son-in-law has been told not to come into work because there isn't enough to do. Is that legal?

Police seldom get involved in withholding matters, even though they should. It is likely that you will need to file a motion with the court to hold him in contempt and modify parenting if he actually violates the parenting time order.

Q: If a couple divorcing can't decide on the selling price of the home who decides who gets the right to sell it their way?

And if a court ruling is required for this and one spouse has proof that they paid more on the mortgage than the other spouse, does that give them a favorable stance in getting a ruling for them to sell it the way they want to or transfer the mortgage they want to?
