Do I need to do conservitership, at what time and for what reason since we are her natural parents?

If the insurance is State funded, you can contact the Attorney General to enforce the Court Order. Otherwise, you need to hire a lawyer to file a Motion to Enforce the Child Support Order. He can be served out of State with the Motion to Enforce. Eventually, the Court could hold him in contempt.... Read more »

No, it shouldn't be.

Hi petitioner filed for separation of marriage (FL100) and then filed motion to dismiss 20 days later. Do I need to file a response if petitioner filed motion to dismiss shortly after she filed for separation of marriage?

If the case is dismissed, you do not need to file your response. If she filed an actual motion and there is a hearing date... Read more »
