ok so I have primary custody of my three kids. I pay spousal support to her. but the Ex-wife moved in with her new boyfriend and his wife almost a year ago. they pay for everything housing, food, car, etc.. am I able to take her and them and have there income added to hers for child support?
No. They're not responsible for your children at all, so their income is irrelevant to any child support calculation.
But you may be able to argue that the lack of expenses for your ex-wife (due to their paying for everything) should be factored into your spousal support calculation. This... Read more »
The mother of my children moved out of PR to PA and refuses to tell me her location and refuses the children to see me. The oldest child is 17 in April and the second one is 16 in April. They both work part time jobs.
I was told PA emancipation age is 18 and PR is 21 and even though she... Read more »
If this has all occurred within the past 6 months, Puerto Rico would likely still have jurisdiction over the custody case. File something immediately in PR, and use her last known address in PR for service of your motion. Having local PR counsel is also advised -- he or she can be of immense help... Read more »
I slipped and hit my head at my place of employment but was not on the clock. ER diagnosed me with a concussion and whiplash. I've been off work since Nov. 8th. My employer said her insurance doesnt cover missed wages.
You should consult a worker's compensation lawyer to see if you have a worker's compensation claim even though you were not on the clock. Secondly, if you fell because of the employer's negligence, the employer's liability insurance would potentially be responsible for lost earnings. However, you... Read more »
A car came in my lane and i swerved to avoid the collision. Now i got sited for the violation
Plead not guilty. You were faced with a sudden emergency, had no choice.
You wren't really choosing to drive over the divided--you were forced to.
I was involved in a car swipe accident. This is my first ever car accident involving a vehicle. The driver that hit my car works for Amazon as a delivery driver. They have tons of vans in my area.
So ever since the car accident, I am now having problems emotionally when I am driving near... Read more »

You need to check your local zoning code.
To wait they wouldn't give me any information or tell me why he was arrested. What should I do what can I do
Get an attorney and have the attorney knock on the same doors. Attorneys are especially skilled at finsing out information. Most of us have connections with the police.
I share 50/50 custody with him and have told him not to contact me unless it is about our child he goes back in forth within mins of hating me and loving me
Yep, I'd call that harassment. Contact your local police about it.
Best of luck to you.
I want money to go to children. Order was placed in NJ. Kids lived in WV but are currently staying with my mother in DE when not in school.
You're going to have to ask this question of an attorney who practices in whichever jurisdiction is administering this order. It appears that would be NJ. You may have to change your location because right now your question is going out to PA lawyers.
No, not unless one of them is subject to a restraining order regarding the other one..

I am the plaintiff in a ejectment action. I served , by certified mail, a subpoena to my tenants ( Defendants ) to produce documents. Their Attorney filed a motion to quash subpoena because I didn’t give them 20 day notice.

A subpoena would ordinarily be used to require a non-party to appear for a deposition or produce documents. It is not used to request another party to appear or produce documents. Your lawyer can serve the defendants with a Request for Production or a Notice of Deposition, as the case may be.... Read more »
I had my vehicle inspected and days later my brakes gave out and the emergency brakes did not work either. This resulted in my spouse crashing the vehicle and sustaining some serious injuries.
It very well could be. However, you would need an independent expert to offer an opinion that these conditions existed at the time of the inspection, were within the scope of work undertaken by the initial inspector, and ought to have been discovered.
The venue originally should hv been held in WV where my child had resided from 3 months of age to the present day. He is now 2 yrs 7 months old.

You can always consult another attorney. Usually, despite what you believe, there are good, legal reasons why a case is not moved to another jurisdiction., For example, the length of time the child has resided in the current jurisdiction.
We got married in Collingdale Courthouse PA. Could we get marriage counseling to save our marriage under the Pennsylvania Statutes?
Yes, the divorce complaint will give you information about filing for counseling. You'll have to file a petition for it. The court can order up to three counseling sessions. usually the person seeking the counseling is responsible for paying for it.
The kids on board and on the street said she backed up down the narrow street and they warned her and she still kept goin and side swiped the whole car totally it. Now I’m stuck paying the difference in the totaled worth and my loan. Shouldn’t their insurance pay something?
Any vehicle insurance--school bus or otherwise--has the obligation to pay for the market value of your car. If that is less than the loan balance, that is not their issue. So yes, through no fault of your own you can end up owning money on a set of wheels you no longer own!
You can check... Read more »
Photo sent without my permission to my college administrators. It was done by an angry ex friend. Now I am having a hearing and facing disciplinary action. I could be expelled, lose my scholarship, have a disciplinary note on my transcript. This is very harmful to me. Can I press charges?
You may but that's not going to help--the train coming down the track at you has been set in motion--collaring the person who started it won't stop the train of the disciplinary process. Most colleges have a pro bono attorney who handles student issues. See if yours does. If not look for an... Read more »
