Her unemployment compensation should have been taken into account. Check the bottom left side of the order where the respective incomes of the parties are shown. If it shows zero for her then you should consider seriously appealing to a judge but be careful not to miss the appeal period .... View More

Child support has zero to do with marital infidelity -- it's only about what the kids need to survive, and the primary custodian of the children will get that.

It DOES matter for alimony or spousal support, however, so you can raise an infidelity defense if she's trying to seek... View More

I suggest that you run the whole scenario by a local attorney experienced in family law. The reality is that , if you can't prove he had income or that he had an earning capacity in those past years, there's not much likelihood that a support order will be entered for that time period....

Retail theft is not one of the crimes that the custody court is expected to consider when making a custody determination. I wouldn't think that you can have the support stopped based on these charges either. Obviously you're very frustrated with the court system but these arrests are not... View More

You can file now but I suspect the court will cotinue the order until the end of this school year

He can but it's hard to say more since it's not known what level of the court system his hearing was in. If he was before a master and appeals to a judge, he always runs the risk of obtaining a less favorable decision. If the hearing was before a judge, the cost of appealing to Superier... View More

Could be. If that's the case, then it's likely that the overpaid money is being used to reduce arrears in the case.

I'm sorry but more facts are needed, such as how have you been making these support payments and why do you think you should get them back.

It sounds like you have unpaid support, or arrears, that you're expected to pay off. If you're confused, you should be able to obtain an answer from Domestic Relations.

Sure sounds like it, assuming he's the defendant.

No, there is no such requirement.

Take your case back to court and hope that you can successfully demonstrate that your efforts to find employment have been serious and persistent. Or you can obtain employment outside of your field and also show the court that you couldn't obtain work in the field you used to be employed in,... View More

What is your question?

Quitting a job without good cause does not usually work in favor of that person. The trick will be for the dad to demonstrate that she quit without good cause. He should consult with an experienced family law attorney to determine what his strategy should be.

It's highly unlikely that life insurance premiums will be used to reduce your support payment in the event there is a support action.

You're going to have to ask a question.

If there's a support order in effect, actually your husband is required by that court order to notify Domestic Relations of any change in his income. No, absent your husband's notice to DRO, the ex will not be notified. Your husband needs to sit down with an experienced family law... View More

Hard to know without having all of the facts. The court can garnish a workers' comp settlement for the payment of child support. I'm assuming that the court imputed an income to you based on your prior income and injury. The basis for your WC award (2 years' wages) does not bind the court.

Hard to know. Child support in PA is strictly income-driven so the other order will be based on a different combination of incomes than one would be for you. You might think about meeting with an experienced family law attorney to see if you can get some idea of what a support order, versus your... View More

Your answer is unclear. Why would you give up your children? If you're trying to ask what would happen to child support arrears if their father gives up his parental rights, then the answer is that the arrears would still be of record, although honestly, forgiving support arrears are often...
