Question:

During our divorce my wife has been damaging my personal property. The most recent incident involved her purposefully denting my car and scratching vulgar words on the vehicle.

How can I stop her? How can I protect my personal property from her even though we are still legally married?

Question:

My question regards the validity of a personal divorce decree versus the actual court-ordered decree.

My ex-wife and I had a personal decree that stated I must pay a higher amount of child support than the court-ordered decree.

Does the personal decree trump the court-ordered decree allowing her to enforce the provisions that are inconsistent?

Divorced dads will sometimes consider representing themselves pro se to keep costs down at a time when resources may already be stretched thin.

Inevitably, they have two divorce questions to ask:

• Should I actually try representing myself?
• We’re agreeing on everything so do I even need an attorney?
