My sons father has his sister in law as his lawyer and they are both falsifying information to the court. Isn’t this a conflict of resolution?
An attorney is allowed to represent a family member if they wish. No one is allowed to falsify information.
I am in OK. My ex is in GA (where our divorce was, but he's in a different county). My oldest son went to live with him and I kept my youngest so we had new papers drawn up. The support order was calculated on both of our incomes of course but as mine was lower, the order only shows that he... Read more »
The best advice is always going to be: "Use an attorney." I'm not sure how the attorney was at fault in your question. If the child support order had been signed, the case was, in effect, over. The attorney would not do anything else once the case was over. If you are stating... Read more »
An adult who is 18 and not in high school is emancipated.
The child support owed is in Arkansas.
You will need to contact an Arkansas attorney to determine what collection remedies are available in that state. In Georgia, if there is a judgment for the child support, that can be garnished from a bank account.
If either divorced parent spends the night with their new partner. No cohabitation is happening. Each parent has their own address separate from their current partner. Ware county, pierce county, Brantley county.
No, that is not the law.
How do I make this request being Pro Se?
This may not be possible. Zoom hearings are standard because of the pandemic. Judges are required to hold via zoom absent an emergency.
I gave birth to our son at the end of 2019. We ended our relationship in 2020 and he hasn't really contributed financially since then. I opened a child support case in January 2021, how long the does child support process usually take?
How long the process takes will depend on his response. If he acknowledges paternity right away and is a w-2 employee with regular income, it can be a fairly routine process. However, if he requests a dna test or disputes the presumptive amount of child support requested, that may delay the... Read more »

If you have primary custody, you can claim the children as dependents. You can't do anything about the COVID relief money. If your ex owes you child support since September, you can file a contempt for that.
Can a IDO apply to two different employers at the same time?
Yes, if the part time job led to a change in income it can be included in a modification. You will need to report income from all sources.
Yes. In a modification.

I'm not sure what your actual question is. Is it will he be able to take the child to his facility outings? If so, it depends on if it is an appropriate environment for the child, and it sounds as if it is not.
It’s convenient for her. I’m not allowed to get him unless she’s with us. What do I need to do. Paying child support in Alabama. Child lives in Alabama I live in Georgia

In that case, you will need to legitimize the child. Once you do that you will be able to seek a custody arrangement that will give you the... Read more »

We are currently separated, will I be responsible for the child
She does not need your consent to divorce. If you do not adopt the child, it will not be your responsibility. Make sure you represented in the divorce so the paperwork is clear.
i have lived with my mom since my parents got divorced. i have thought about running away so many times. she always yells at me and is always super mean to me and my brother. im 14, and my brother is 10. we both want to live with our dad. but he is really far behind in child support.
I’m sorry to that you are not happy at home with your mom. At 14 you can’t just run away and decide where to live. Your dad could consult with an attorney to see if there are options for him to get primary custody. Try talking to your mom about the problems and see if it helps.
So if I’m using my vehicle and phones for work, would that still be used as a “personal expense”?
There are numerous factors that go into determining child support. Owning a business isn’t going to necessarily hurt or help you, it all depends on the factors when child support is determined. You income and expenses will be considered whether you own a business or work for someone who does.
I started a small solar construction business with just me and one other employee. Can the business income be used against me for child support?
It's possible. Some people hide income in the business in various ways. For example, using the business account for personal expenses or paying a lower salary intentionally to suppress income. If you don't already, get a CPA to audit your books and verify your income.
