I've read that a support order can only be changed within the first 3 years if there is a substantial change in circumstances. Would this qualify as a substantial change? And does the support payers decision to take a pay cut play into the decision?
answered on Apr 17, 2018
It would depend on how much the person made annually. If the individual earned $150,000 a year, a $10,000 decrease may not be substantial. However, if the person makes $40,000 a year, a $10,000 decrees could be considered grounds to seek a support modification. Good luck.

She can call the police in North Dakota in the town the grandparents live in and try to file criminal charges for kidnapping. She should also file criminal charges in NH with her local police department so they can help her get her children back.

If she is not complying with the Court Order then one option is to file a motion for contempt. She will be responsible for your costs if you are successful. The guardian cannot stop visitation - you will need to ask the Court to modify the Order so your daughter gets to dance class.

Violating the parenting plan, especially for a non-exigent matter, is never a good idea. Unless your wedding is right around the corner you can try consulting an attorney.

I was issued a Temporary Divorce Decree which makes my soon-to-be ex-spouse and I responsible for our own finance and credit cards. However, the ex-spouse is spending on Joint Credit Cards, can they be canceled?

Credit card companies are not bound by the terms of your temporary order assigning debt to your soon-to-be-ex-spouse. Since you are ordered responsible for your own finance and credit cards you should obtain a detailed record of what your soon-to-be-ex-spouse is charging and file a motion with the... View More

You can file a motion to enforce court order. You may also want to consider contacting the child support division at the DHHS to see if they can help.
im pregnant and on pobation and im planning on running away because i might get sent away for violating probation
answered on Sep 22, 2016
Running away will make it worse. Stay put and get an attorney. If you are indigent, the court can appoint an attorney. What kind of life do you expect to live as a young, pregnant runaway?

You should consult with a Connecticut attorney or post on the Connecticut board. In New Hampshire, grandparents can petition the court for visitation rights: http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/html/xliii/461-a/461-a-13.htm
I don't want the house--I want to be free and clear of it. What are my options? Can an attorney help me with this and my divorce? My spouse can be quite adversarial so would want to work through an attorney if possible.

If your spouse is adversarial, make sure you seek a family law attorney. If you're in the Nashua area, please email me for more information.

Most likely not. To modify visitation someone would probably need a new court order.

I want to give my ex full custody of our son.
answered on Sep 17, 2013
Assuming that's in your son's best interests, of course!
You should be able to do it by filing a new parenting plan for the court's approval.
