Amount due allocated by OAG.? If I sign it he will still have to pay
This question cannot be answered without a review of the court file, the facts of the case, the law applicable to the facts of the case, what the other side is requesting, and your goal for the case.
She tells me when I can get the kids and now she wants to take me to court for child support even though I’ve asked for week to week and she refuses

I live in Texas - I have a friend who's ex-wife just popped up and said that he needed to pay 5 years of back medical expenses. I believe the ex-wife carries the daughter on her insurance since it was better originally. These would be additional medical expenses that he was completely unaware... Read more »
He needs to read his order to see what it says about giving notice to the other party of the expense owed. If the requirements in order were not followed he will need to make that argument to the court. The OAG is not going to argue anything on his behalf.
She keeps saying I can come down there and visit her but I'm not on any visitation papers or anyting and I don't want visitation I want to actually pick up my daughter and go to my house and bring her back in a day or so I'm on the birth certificate she's my daughter I just... Read more »

I need to leave my husband and he had threatened to take my son if I ever try to leave. I have no family or friends. No where to leave to in town.
If there is no court order in place restricting your residence you can move. However, your spouse could file a motion requesting you move back because it is not in the best interest of the child to be moved. But, you get to also counter his argument that it is in the best interest of the child.... Read more »
I found out that all of the documents were filed in the wrong county by the process server company. I was then told that all of the documentation needs to be reserved to the defendant to then be filed in the correct county. Can I just get the original documents e-filed in correct county?
Yes but you will need to nonsuit the case you filed in wrong county before the respondent (defendant) files something against you in that case, for example, asking for attorney’s fees for having to deal with a case in a county with no jurisdiction.
I have a temp. child support order because my divorce isn't finalized. Custodial parent makes almost double income than me, yet I'm paying 25% for 2 children. I live in Idaho and in Idaho a non-custodial has the right to claim the children if he/she is current on child support.
The IRS rule is that whoever has the children more than 50% of the time, can claim the children on tax returns. That’s a federal law. And although I don’t practice law in Idaho, respectfully, I highly doubt they would have a law that contradicts IRS rules. Claiming children on tax returns is a... Read more »

Had a conference to adjust child support payments and custodial parent agreed to end payments. Judge said it's a private attorney matter. Does this just involve putting this in writing with an attorney or what are the steps?
You will need an order of termination signed by Judge.
Here are some options:
1. Research how to get this done on your own.
2. Contact the attorney general to see if they will help.
3. Hire an attorney to complete the process.
Please note that although the... Read more »

To the extent that the Power of Attorney conflicts with a Court Order, the Court Order controls.

My husband and his ex wife’s divorce/child support order was through Missouri. Neither party lives in that state any longer. She just modified the amount through Missouri while living in Alabama does that need to change to her current state or does it matter?
Thanks for your question! I am not familiar with Missouri laws, but generally, a court retains jurisdiction until it is either lost or transferred. Thus, it is possible for your husband's ex-wife to modify the amount of child support even though she lives in Alabama. Hope that helps!... Read more »
