If this is a Wisconsin case, I can respond. If it is a Minnesota case, I do not know the law in Minnesot since I am not licensed to practice law in that State. In Wisconsin, the State has an interest in the child support proceedings if a party is receiving State benefits. If the recipient is no... Read more »

The Hague Convention is useful in most situations, but you need a lawyer where the children are to file the appropriate action in the local court to determine.
But first, do you have a professional/lawyer in Thailand that is assisting you. If you don't, that you explain why things... Read more »

Yes, if the home is a marital asset, the equity is deemed to be equally divided, unless there is a prenuptial agreement in place providing otherwise.

If he was still legally married at the time you married him, your marriage is not valid. You will need an annulment.
Been married for 8yrs. Together for 15yrs. House was purchased and lived in by both of us for the last 13yrs. The title and mortgage was in her name initially due to my less than stellar credit at the time of purchase. We have since refinanced the home and both names are now on the mortgage and...

If you have refinanced the mortgage in both of your names and made mortgage payments during the marriage, it has become a marital asset.
This is a zoom call trial.

It is not necessary for you to be in the United States during a zoom hearing. You will simply need a reliable internet connection.
I have 50/50 legal custody and 100% physical custody. I got divorced September of 2020. Their mom does not take them overnight and rarely ever sees them. She now says she is moving to Arizona and wants the kids for the summer months. Is there a way she will be able to change the order and move away... Read more »
answered on Jun 10, 2021
No. She would need to file a Motion for Modification of Placement or you both would need to sign a Stipulation and Order for modification of the Order to allow her summer placement. She needs an Order of the Court. If she does not have the Court Order, she can not remove them without your... Read more »
Can the poa get in trouble if I stop alimony payments while he is in prison
answered on May 25, 2021
Depending on the language of the POA, the Attorney in Fact may file Motions on his behalf to terminate or hold open maintenance. The POA must specifically state that the Attorney in Fact has been awarded this power.
Per our marital settlement agreement (Wisconsin), there is specific mention as to no child support (we both have fairly equal income) and no mention of "variable costs" anywhere in our orders. It does state that all medical, dental, eye, etc. bills/premiums will be split equally. I sent... Read more »
answered on Apr 8, 2021
If you have shared physical placement of your children and hold open of child support since your incomes are equal, it is normally presumed that you share variable costs for the children, even if it does not specifically state so in the court order. You should be offsetting the variable expenses... Read more »
DCF 150 has a broad definition of income and it's not clear if these would count as gross income for either the calculation of child support or any existing order that requires a reconciliation of support based on gross income.
answered on Mar 29, 2021
I do not believe tax refunds or federal stimulus payments would count as "income" for support calcuation purposes. Government benefits like food stamps, daycare assitsance, etc. typically do not either. This obviously isn't settled law as the stimulus payments are novel.

You can file a Motion for Contempt, but the action is already done. If you have a conflict as to the religion in which you wish for your child to be raised, you should file a Motion with the Court.
so my dismissal was set for last March but the pandemic hit and the courthouse closed my question is since it was no fault of mine will I have to restart the whole process again?
My fiance has a bad auto debt with his ex-wife. She got the vehicle in the divorce. However, failed to make the payments. The account shows on my fiance's credit report as Charged-off with a $0 balance.
answered on Mar 4, 2021
Your fiance's premarital debt is her debt, and not yours. Any debt she brings into the marriage is hers. Absent a prenuptial agreement, any debt you accumulate during the marriage will be joint.
It was filed.. the dates were incorrect..
answered on Mar 1, 2021
It depends. If it was only a date, that, in and by itself, may not nullify a prenuptial agreement. To be a valid prenuptial agreement, each party must make full disclosure of his or her income, assets and liabilities. They must also have adequate time to review, preferably with the assistance of... Read more »
The document was so that I would not see my significant other with a questionable past. I am in the middle.of a divorce and it was written up at the request of the guardian ad litem for my children.

While a divorce is pending,it is normally considered bad form to introduce the children to a new significant other. If the Guardian ad Litem advised you not to have the children around them, I recommend that you do so, since the GAL's recommendation carries a great deal of weight with the... Read more »
