I don't see a question here, but you should look at the end date on your order of child support to see whether it ends when your child turned 18 or when your child graduates from high school.
They have no other choice but to live with either one of the parents till they graduate?

The age of majority in WA is 18. This means that the parenting plan no longer applies once someone turns 18. There may be other benefits to remaining in a parent's home while still in school, so this person should probably take some time to think out all of the pros and cons of moving out at... Read more »

The lawyer needs to be licensed in the state where the court case is. The relocation will likely be litigated in the same court where you got your parenting plan, so that is where the attorney should be licensed.

There are many different types of protection orders under Washington law so it is difficult to answer your question. Generally, any order, including a protection order or no contact order, can be modified by the same court that issued the original order if there is good cause. For example, a court... Read more »
We live in Washington state. I am receiving support from the non custodial parent until he graduates high school per the support agreement.

An 18 year old is considered an adult and is no longer subject to a court order for parenting time.
I know who her attorney is but she also have told him not to discuss any of the will with me since I am not named in it, so even though I know I am not named in the will, and he knows I know that, does he still have to legally notify me of her death? Or does that only count if I contest the will?... Read more »

Since your question remains open for three weeks, you could consider reposting under Probate and Estate Planning - those are more applicable than Family Law as far as categories go. There's no guarantee that all questions are picked up, but you might have better chances there. Good luck... Read more »
Is this possible with him being in jail

Yes, it is possible to divorce your husband while he is in jail. You will need to serve him, in jail, with a divorce petition and follow procedures required by law. You should hire an experienced divorce attorney in your state to help with you with the process.

It can be allowed, but it depends greatly on both of your incomes and how a few other things are accounted for in your divorce. Long story short is the child support must be calculated by the court. However, there can be ways to get it to a zero net transfer if the facts of the case allow for it.... Read more »
I have sent proof/ results to grandparents with custody, but they ignore them and respond to my efforts to set up visitation with designated supervisor wirh letters reminding me of the requirements

It sounds very much like you need to get the courts involved. And it also sounds like there may already be certain requirements in place regarding a Third Party Custody case.

Going through divorce. spouse moved out. child is 19 and id like help with college money from soon to be ex spouse. how do i go about this?

Yes, but it depends on if the court still has jurisdiction over the child. More facts are needed and you should speak with an attorney. But the long story short is that if your current divorce was started before your child turned 18 or other emancipated, then the court likely has jurisdictions to... Read more »

Without seeing the document I tend to agree with your interpretation, however, there may be something else within the document that could change my answer. That being said, your husband should call the attorney that handled his divorce to double check. If they are unavailable, he should call the... Read more »

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandfather. You might have better chances of your question being picked up if you reposted in the Probate - Estate Planning categories. It went unnoticed for two weeks under Family Law. Good luck

Only of you pursue the issue. No consequences unless you take action. You need to try to resolve issue on your own by asking that the answers be provided. If not, then ask court to make them answer with a motion to compel. Good luck.

The law allows a parent to seek a protection order on behalf of a minor child. So you can go to the local courthouse and ask for a protection order that would prohibit him from contacting her, but that would only be valid until she is 18.
You can of course report what is happening to local... Read more »

As your question indicates, it is not in a child's best interest to discuss the Court case with children, involve them in parenting decisions, or disparage the other parent to the children. Your remedies regarding this situation depend on a lot of contingencies, such as if you already have a... Read more »
We are both petitioning for full custody.

And now she won’t give me any of my money

Unless you give us more information--for example, tell us WHY you ex wife is refusing to "give you any of your money"-there is very little anyone can do to help you online.
Yes he is 18 but he is still in high school & his dad claims he is the custodial until my nephew graduates.

You don't. Your nephew is an adult.
