The court can't modify the order and make... View More

You cannot get the car - that would be trespassing. You need to ask the judge for a temporary hearing to address the car issue.

Motions can be complex and are fact sensitive. You should seriously consider consulting with an attorney if custody and visitation are at issue in your divorce case. There are not going to be any form documents for you to use. You will need to outline why the child should be with you and why that... View More
