Whether or not your spouse or ex-spouse has to send you copies of documents depends on what documents they are. It is unclear what documents you are asking for because you stated they were "separation papers." If you mean a complaint for divorce then yes, you should have been served... View More

Speak to a lawyer. Because you refer to the other party as your ex-husband, and if the divorce is final, they likely don’t have to give you a copy of any paperwork. If the divorce is still pending, you are entitled to certain documents to be turned over to you if you request them. But you need... View More
The parent is also several months behind on court-ordered child support. The child no longer wants to be obligated to travel out of state to visit the parent in the coming summer and winter holidays.
Is there a case to request the State to remove mandatory visitation rights from the absent parent?
answered on Oct 30, 2023
If you want to modify the current order regarding visitation, you will have to go back to court. Even if the child says they don't want to go, if there is an order giving the other parent visitation, you have to send the child, if they want to exercise that parenting time. If the other... View More

Parties affected by any unconstitutional provision might have recourse in subsequent legal actions. It's crucial to consult with a local attorney if you believe you're affected by such a ruling to understand its implications and your options.
Hi, I am the non-custodial parent in the state of Georgia with visitation every other weekend. From a mediation back in 2019 I pay child support monthly. It also states "parties shall each pay one-half of the child extracurricular activities".
If the typed up order by the mediator... View More

You are bound by the terms of the order. Therefore, if the order says that you pay for half of extracurricular activities then that is what it means.
This "agreement" would be related to payments being made to grandparents for a child's vacation by the child's biological and primary custody mother.

A party is legally bound by a court order with regard to domestic matters. Text messages and emails that are not reflected in a court order parties do not legally have to follow, that is, again, in matters involving child support, child custody & visitation.

A parent has a legal obligation to support their children. But that doesn’t necessarily mean one parent is entitled to receive “child support” from the other parent. If a child is being primarily cared for by a non-parent, both parents may have an obligation to provide support to the... View More

Closing a child support case doesn’t stop the child support. Closing the case stops child support enforcement of the order. Also, when she agreed to a lesser amount, that didn’t change the courts order. So anything less than the order you weren’t paying she could ask the court to order... View More

In Georgia, child support obligations generally cease when a child support case is closed or when the child reaches the age of majority, but past due payments, or "back pay," typically still need to be paid. If a case was closed but there are still arrears (unpaid child support), you may... View More

Your ex-spouse may not have an unrestricted right to access your paycheck at any time, but there are specific circumstances in which she may request information about your... View More
Her dad is barely in the picture with no job and rooms up with somebody. He does support her at all, I do it all. I just want this over with easily and cheap.
answered on Sep 5, 2023
It's not going to be cheap or easy if he contests the divorce. Your easiest route is an uncontested divorce which can be finalized in as little as 31 days from filing. However, you and your spouse will need to agree on all terms of the divorce, including child custody, child support and... View More

Attorneys fees will not be deducted from arrears. You wouldn't be ordered to pay her fees if you win the case. You should keep looking for an attorney.
