my ex girlfriend may open a child support case on me if she finds out i am newly married. Can my pre nup in Florida protect my new wife from my ex trying to add my new wifes personal income for child support case in Puerto Rico?
answered on Sep 23, 2022
The mother of your child cannot force your wife to pay child support in Florida, whether the mother sues in Florida, Puerto Rico, or elsewhere. Child support would be your obligation, not that of your wife. If your ex does file for child support, you and your wife probably should not own property... Read more »

Unless your ex is self employed, the best thing that you can do is to ask for an income deduction order, which is your right under the law. With that order the child support would be deducted directly from his pay check by the state and then forwarded to you. Speak with a local family lawyer for... Read more »

You must deal directly with the court that issued the child support order. File a motion and explain your situation. Timesharing and child support are not directly related, meaning if one parent withholds the child that is not a reason to not pay child support. You are raising complicated issues... Read more »
I would like to know what will happen next as I believe he did it purposely to escape his childsupport obligations
answered on Sep 20, 2022
Moving to PR will not allow him to escape his obligations for child support.
If I’m unable to work because I’m disabled. Can the mother of my child sue me for money even if I have medical evidence? I just gave the court my documents files for proof but the mother of my child is still pursuing a lawsuit to give her money when I can not work at all.
answered on Sep 19, 2022
File a modification on child support to adjust your payment while you are in that situation. Do your best to get a job when you can so you can still support your child. It is every parent's responsibility to provide for their children.
Talk to your attorney to know how best to proceed.
They are grown he is seeking back child support for the time I had them. What can I do?
answered on Sep 19, 2022
You need to get a hearing before the court that issued the child support order to explain what happened. You should have returned to court when he gave you the children. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

answered on Sep 19, 2022
You should speak with a local family law attorney to recalculate your child support for one child. It does not automatically go to half and it could even be lower than half. More importantly, you want to record the change with the court so that you are protected if there is a dispute in the future... Read more »

answered on Sep 17, 2022
That would be a reasonable assumption. But if the person to whom you pay child support (payee) disagrees, you had better apply to the court to have the decree clarified.

He ( and a guardian on his behalf) need to meet with a family law attorney immediately. Yes, there are provisions in the law to address an individual with legitimate disabilities and presumably, if he is disabled, his child[ren] are receiving benefits as well.
answered on Sep 15, 2022
If you have a legal child support obligation then you must return to court to modify that legal obligation. The custodial parent losing custody will not "automatically" change your obligation. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

No, you cannot file for custody until after the baby is born. You're lucky that his mother is supportive of you. She can be your greatest ally if you make sure that she sees her new grandbaby. I suggest that you consult with a local family law attorney for guidance.
