QUESTIONS

  • is the custodial parent allowed to stop the current child support order before the children turn 18?
  • IfIget emancipated and move out on my own wouldI be able tohave a room mate?
  • I have recently reviewed our finances and determined that we can no longer afford our home. We are not late and have not missed any payments. I have come in contact with a law office based in CA that offers loan modification, short sale, and deed in lieu services. If we opt to pay someone to negotiate for a loan modification with our lender am I less likely to fall victim to scam with a law office?
  • My husband filed for divorce and I was served the papers. I was unable to go to the court date so divorce was granted by default. Decree says I went to parenting classes which I didn't. Also ex doesnt have to pay child support or alimony even though he left the family and was having affair. Can I file for child support and alimony since we were married for 20+ yrs.? We get adoption subsidy for our daughter and he wants half of that but only has her 48hrs/wk. What can I do?
  • Our original divorce decree did not stipulate payment for secondary education. Can this be modified now that the children are 18 and in college. Child Support payments are still being made.
  • If I buy everything for my daughter shoes clothing, uniforms for school hygiene, her eye glasses do I still have to pay child support
  • My apartment building is newly owned by a new company. They're saying that everything that was okayed by the old apartment manager does not mean anything so my boyfriend and I live together we are not currently under a lease and she's saying that he can't be here even though neither of us have a lease and we have both been residing here for a few months now
  • Is it possible to file for divorce without knowing the spouse's SSN? She did not have a SSN when we married and I don't have any paperwork with her SSN on it. We're not on speaking terms, but I do know her address.
  • My husband is a drug addict who has been evading service as of 2014/2015. Just when I was almost done with proceedings, he moved to a different state. I didn't have the money to start over and have since become unemployed. I don't want to end up responsible for his bills once my bankruptcy is through. How can I get help? My area states they don't handle divorces so I don't know where to turn.
  • My girlfriend and I have two children together. I would like to gain custody of them since she has been experiencing mental health issues and cannot take care of the children.  I cannot afford a lawyer and have been told I cannot leave the state without her permission and was also told since the children's birth certificates establish I am the father and that they have my last name I can relocate with them. I can't get a straight answer !
