If you are still married you can go get them and there is nothing she can do about it. You both have equal custody. But if you do, she will probably go file something immediately to give her temporary custody. Then you will have to petition the court for interim visitation prior to the final... Read more »

You can go to legal aid to try and obtain a lawyer but it’s mostly for persons who have been abused that qualify. You need to get to an attorney immediately. Some will take payments or draw the money out of savings. But get to an attorney as quickly as possible! Good luck!
We're divorced and I have full custody. My ex has supervised visitation and over time normal visits may resume my soon to be 12 year old doesn't want to have anything to do with him because of mental and emotional abuse on his behalf.
There is no age in Alabama when a child can decide they don’t want to go visit. I lot of people think there is, but there is not. Just as he is ordered to pay child support, you too, are ordered to comply with the visitation schedule. Good luck.
Hello. No, not unless there is an Order from the Court stating they can. Thank you for the question.
There was a court order when the divorced was final.
There is no statute of limitations on the collection of child support. Each monthly payment in automatically considered reduced to a judgment as it becomes due.
Everything is agreed upon, he agrees to proceed without dispute. Does the waiver exempt us from needing to file an answer or wait through the response period
Typically the documents are filed all at one time.
Out weekly. She gave me no child support or alimony even though I stayed home with the kids and didn't have a career. I got a little place of my own because I couldn't stay where my ex was. He moved out of state and sold the house. Can I get child support and alimony now that I have my... Read more »
A lot of interesting things going on with your fact pattern. I would suggest that given the number of moving parts involved that you go ahead and set up a more individualized consult with an attorney rather than trust solely the bits of information gained in general responses here. I will say... Read more »
Support do I qualify for it
Hello. You'd need to speak with an attorney privately to discuss the facts of your particular situation. Without knowing more, "maybe" is the best answer. Good luck.
Divorce lawyer said $4,000 retainer fee was more than enough. Court hearings were put on hold for months during coronavirus, yet the lawyer kept racking up the bill somehow and now says I owe $6,000 more. Is this legal? Can the charges rack up even when everything was closed?
Although the lawyers before you provided excellent responses and advice I feel the need to weigh in on this question as it comes up so often in one form or another. First, read your contract. Your contract should spell out exactly what you are to be charged for and what is free. What you will... Read more »
I can't afford a lawyer or even to file the papers. I am on ssi and need every penny I get to pay my rent and other monthly bills. I just want to be done with him. I have his namr and address. I just don't know what to do.
Some lawyers do pro bono work and will do it for free, but they cannot pay the filing fee for you. Most countries is between 200- to 300 dollars. However, you can fill out an affidavit of hardship to possibly waive the filing fee. Good luck

Apparently you have not BOTH agreed. I cannot tell you how often this comes up. Someone calls me and tells me we have reached an agreement and the case is uncontested but when it comes time to sign nothing could be less true. You do not have an agreement. It does not necessarily mean her... Read more »

I'm going to try to distill the question down to its essence, you and your wife of a year want to be divorced, you have two children together, she has been cheating on you for at least the past 10 months and you want to ensure a fair custody. You have a good number of options in front of you,... Read more »

In any divorce where child custody is an issue, the behavior of the adults is an important factor in who has primary custody over the children. The question you must ask yourself is, is a divorce something you really want? Is your wife willing to work on your marriage and stop cheating? It sounds... Read more »
