More information is needed in order to answer your question regarding custody. If you want to relocate to another state and you have custody of the children, you will need to have an agreement with the other parent or petition the court to relocate.
My Husband mistress announced on Facebook and it has torn me to piece s.What can be done?
I believe that adultery is no longer a crime in IL. In any event, I sincerely doubt if the prosecutor in your County would bring charges. I have never seen it done. You would be wise to speak with a mental health professional to lessen the trauma you are understandably experiencing. They can... Read more »

Pension Payment To Ex-Wife Can't Be Right
When I got divorced (m1980-d2001) the divorce decree under the section PENSION AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS stated:
The wife shall receive 50% of the marital portion of husband's pension/retirement plan and 401k plan that has accrued during the... Read more »
Did you have a lawyer at the time of the divorce? That would be a good place to start. Otherwise, you should look for someone close to you that can review your documents and try to sort things out. It is hard to say what is "right" or "wrong" without looking at the relevant documents, which are the... Read more »

It makes a huge difference if the spouse who owned the property prior to the marriage ever transfered co-ownership to the other spouse during the marriage. This is a vital fact that you have not provided. If he or she did put the property in co ownership, then the property is most likely a marital... Read more »

Whatever you are trying to avoid will not be avoided by waiting to deposit the funds until after you file. If the funds to be deposited are marital or not, the mere filing is meaningless and makes no difference.
Spouse 1 - pension of $5900/month
Spouse 2 - pension $5200/month
Marital Property/Assets = $1,000,000
Spouse 1 - $360,000 in non marital funds thru inheritance
Spouse 2 - will receive $100,000 in inheritance from parents life insurance policy within the next 10-15... Read more »
I do not know what your question is, but one thing is for sure: Spouse Two's $100,000 "inheritance" does not matter in any way until it is received.
It means the Sheriff was unsuccessful in their attempts to serve your spouse.
He sexually kissed my 16 year old daughter, but I never filed a police report. Also, he threatens to have me taken to jail if I don't let him in? I am married. We dont feel comfortable with him in the home. The police said I cant force him to leave, but can they force me to let him in?
Don't rely on the police for legal advice. You can get an order of protection keeping him away from you and your daughter as well as your home. Although you can seek an order of protection on your own, I recommend that you contact a lawyer about this. If it's worth doing, it's worth being sure it... Read more »

Hi! If the kids are in Illinois, you need to start either a custody or divorce case depending on whether you're married.
Once the case begins, the judge may schedule mediation which will be an opportunity to talk the father what you're hoping for.
There's no legal requirement you... Read more »

It sounds likes you need a lawyer in Hawaii to file a motion to modify child support based on your change in income.
Normal for a divorce lawyer do not give the spouse a number or a name?
Hi! No this is not normal. When someone hires me I welcome them to give their spouse my name and number. It sounds like he's playing games for some reason.
I would consult with an attorney asap, especially if there are kids involved.

If you have a pending divorce, you should file a motion to address everything you mentioned and to request temporary relief.

This is a question to ask a lawyer licensed to practice in New Hampshire, not Illinois.
The first attempt was June 26th Is there alternative method of serving somone when you know for sure it’s hard to find them gone when they travel for 2-3 months at a time. I have the lawyer a schedule for the Sherrifs but his schedule can change often and vary.
Hi! In Cook County, I believe they only promise one attempt.
You should serve the other party via special process server. It will be more effective and flexible.
He is mentally abusive
You have some legal options.

The state child support agency is notorious for mismanaging child support accounts.
I wish I had better advice, but you may have to hire a law firm to work their way through the bureaucracy.
It's a broken system.
Best of luck.
