The asker should file in New York. An eastern European proceeding will be challenged by the mother as having been created of fraud. That gives an American court an easy out not to enforce the foreign order and all the proceedings that led up to an order to include a paternity test.

You would need to file a petition with Family Court to relocate with your children. You would need to show that it would be in their best interests. The Court would look at a number of factors such as the relationship between the children and their father and how the move would improve the... View More

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo said it best, "You can get away with anything as long as you don't get caught." This principle is especially pertinent with children and families. The asker can depart and the left-behind parent does nothing. Six months later, the asker is free and clear.... View More

Noncustodial parent just started to pay child support but custodial parent is threatening to report him for not paying. Can he legally get introuble if he just started paying

Legally he can still "get in trouble" ie. Lose his license or even jail. The court will take into consideration his payments, but unless he is paying toward his arrears, he is not making a dent.

You should appear in court on the return day of the summons. At that time, you can ask the judge to assign a lawyer to you without charge if you meet the low income criteria. You can also contact the local bar association for recommendations.

Child support calculations take into consideration ALL income and the court can even impute income to those that are under-employed.
He was getting income from military and partial pay with nypd. Claims no longer employed which is reason for not showing w-2

Not sure what the question is. Has there been a final order issued yet? The court can impute income. You need to speak to an attorney who could review your case.

Without stating for what purpose, we really don't know how an asker can prove he lives alone. If this is for a court proceeding, the asker can simply testify he lives alone.

Parents are obligated to support their children. Usually the non-custodial parent is ordered to pay child support to the custodial parent based on income.
