Given the short length of the marriage, it is unlikely that he will have to give you any more money if you already recovered what you say he owed. You should contact an attorney about an uncontested divorce.
Our divorce was finalized 7 months ago, and the judge ordered him to pay me some money. I am wondering if he still has to pay me or not, and what do I need to do next? I have tried to call bankruptcy lawyers, but everyone I have talked to says they work for the people that declare bankruptcy, not... Read more »
Most divorce settlements are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. You need to consult with an attorney who can review your agreement, determine what type of payments he owes and then give you advice.
My ex wife & I had an uncontested divorce. It was agreed that we split all the finances. I was consistently paying her for two months until & she stop contacting me. She has removed me from all the financial accounts we shared together. She has furthered blocked me from all contacts & social media
Were you paying her or were you paying for the debts directly to where the debt is owed? If you agreed to split all the finances, including the debt, then you would still be obligated to follow through with that.
The problem here is these papers were filled out and signed while she was pregnant with our daughter. So at that current time we had no child born in the marriage, although they had a son in which she never took the motorized signature of my son ( supposively the dad) and her explanation has been...

I agree with my colleague. He should file for divorce and ask for parenting time. He must still abide by the conditions of his TPO. If he doesn't it could jeopardize his future parenting time.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to getting a divorce while unemployed? I keep hearing very different opinions on this issue. Who's right?
We don't know. More information is needed. Are there children involved? What assets will be fought over? Who is paying the family's bills right now? Do you live in the same house? What are you doing to get back on your feet?
I can say that if you file for divorce now, the... Read more »

If your agreement doesn't allow to deduct payments and taxes, you cannot. Net equity is sales price minus closing costs and mortgage. Deducting the payments would mean you got to live there for free for 6 years. You had to pay those somewhere.
Does claiming alcoholism as a fault have any strategic advantage? I have proof as to how it has adversely effected the kids.
If your 14 year old wants to love with you, that will make your case easier. If you are able to prove she has an alcohol issue, that may impact custody and parenting time.
I committed adultery and my wife filed for divorce. We are still in the middle of the divorce and now she is dating someone. Can that affect her alimony? I have proof of the guy spending the night at her house with our toddler there asleep. Can that affect custody?The case is in Georgia.
It likely will not affect alimony. In order for it to affect alimony, the adultery needs to be the cause of the separation. It appears that the marriage ended because of your adultery and she is dating now. Whether or not the person spending time overnight with your child there is enough to... Read more »

Based on what you described, it's comingled. However, unless you plan to get divorced, there isn't much to be done if she has now segregated the funds and you have no access to them.
Check with the Clerk of Court at the courthouse in your county. They may or may not have one. GA Legal Services may have one.
