If our child whether is a... Read more »
In the question itself, I think you meant to say 50/50 not 50/05.
What's the difference if it's you ex or stranger, you are setting-up a trust account for your daughter.
It seems she will be the beneficiary of the Trust. It all comes down to the Trust Agreement to protect... Read more »
My ex husband has parenting time every other weekend. Our daughters are 13, 9 and 9.
Last weekend my daughter walked by his bedroom at 2 p.m. when all of the kids were in the house and heard voices. The door was closed, but she could clearly hear him engaging in an online chat coercing... Read more »

I traveled to the last court date from Oklahoma and was told that I could take my son home with me. They closed the case, and at the bottom of the court order, it is written, “All custodial rights of the minor are vested to (my name).” Does this mean that I now have full or sole custody of my... Read more »
It sounds like you have sole custody of your son. You should see an attorney licensed to practice law in Oklahoma to figure out what your next step is in that state.
Your child support is determined by the last court order. It doesn't change just because a parent moves from one state to another.
He's threatening her by saying he's going to take the kids and have her declared mentally incompetent.
Until a court order is entered determining when each of the parents has time with the children, the rights of the parents are exactly the same. It is not kidnapping to take your own child, unless a court order determines the other parent should have the child at that time.
In other words,... Read more »
We have a parenting agreement that is 3 years old. My 14 year old never wanted to live with her dad. I felt railroaded and signed the papers. Is there any way to do this without contesting? The father (who is not her biological father but is on the birth certificate) will not agree for her to move... Read more »
If you want to change parenting rights and responsibilities, you have to contest if you disagree. That is the nature of family law.
Yes, if he can prove paternity.
some personal belongings ... she brought some unfamiliar faces with her - I have never seen them or met them even in our marriage reception I don't see them in pictures .. Her name is still on the lease ... How can I make them give me state issued IDs before they enter the Appartment .. I had... Read more »
You have absolutely NO right to see their ID's. She can bring anyone she wishes into the marital apartment, and so can you. Your position is dead wrong.
I(21) am renting the basement from my parents house as a living area. We have a verbal rental agreement for $250 a month, with other basic rules (clean up after yourself, etc). My parents have been known to be very toxic and verbally abusive and since I am renting from them with a verbal rental... Read more »
Not sure what you mean by "what i can do." You can always move out. If your parents wish to evict you, they will have to file it with the Court in the county where you live and deal with it in court in order to remove you. Not sure you or your parents want it to get to this level.
My child-support finished in June. The mother filed for an extension and during that hearing in September it was discovered that I had overpaid. The credit was put on my account and the order stated not to withdraw any more money. In October they started taking money out of my check again. Child... Read more »
You need to hire a lawyer to stop them from. Taking any more money out of your check.
My spouse has been homeless for a while. I really need to get our divorce done. We’ve been separated since 2015. He said I can get them sent to his dads house. Will they serve it to his dad?
Thanks
No, not unless your spouse lives there.
The night my wife called cops on me - Cops made her leave as she was trying to hurt herself and blame me ... she took my brother's car saying that she will be back next day to pickup her stuff - now lawyers are involved and I have permission to see my 6-month old baby - Lawyer is saying since...

You have an attorney, you need to discuss this with your attorney. This is why you hired an attorney. No one here has the information that your attorney has.
If I can sue for the back child support what information do I need to do so?
No. That money was for your mother to help her financially. It was not and never will be your money. But if there is a back child support order, your mother can sue him for it.
This includes not paying court ordered child support. We've been together 8 years and married for 3. Do we need her consent?
You don't necessarily need her consent based on the facts you set forth, but it will be easier if you have her consent. Either way, you are required to provide her formal notice that you're attempting the adoption.

It is rare for a 15 year old to get emancipated. You do not say how old the bf is.
My ex-wife and her husband received TANF a few months back and now the state it coming after me for child support. Even though our divorce papers state that we agreed to neither of us paying child support or any sort of alimony. She said she is not going to be able to make it to our court hearing... Read more »
Typically, you are sued by the Illinois Department of Human Services. They are not required to recognize your court order and can modify it.
Her presence id not required.
Illinois. 3 year old divorce agreement, seeking modification due to extreme change in circumstances, (massive income loss due to Covid19). My ex is going to hire a "more aggressive attorney". I currently pay her several hundred dollars a month MORE than what my income is.
The court has the discretion to make your new support obligation retroactive to the date that you filed your Petition to Modify. If the court does so, then any time lost because of a new attorney would not be an issue.
Pregnant. He states the order was unrestricted visitation meaning he can have a witness himself. My son he’s seen three times and he’s a stranger to him. My son also has severe separation anxiety diagnosed. So one person will put him over let alone two. The order is not in yet as our attorneys... Read more »
Your qyestion is confusing. Is it right for you to say no to what? I cannot tell if you litigated it and the judge ruled or if this was an afterthought.
Our court order doesn't contain information on insurance. I've carried secondary insurance on our children since 2015 and prior I was primary. Midway into 2015, my ex wanted their spouse as primary due to "better" insurance. That order was voided with the 2019 order. My ex has... Read more »
How about getting a copy of your Order and reading it? In 32 years I have never seen an Order prohibiting anyone from providing insurance for their child, although I bet there is one out there and an explanation about insurance companies is included. Generally speaking, if a spouse who is not... Read more »
If by fix you mean change or modify, yes.
