Question:

I am the stepmom of two children. My insurance is cheaper and much better than the children's father/my husband.

He is ordered to provide health, dental, and vision insurance on the children. Can I carry the insurance on the children even though he is the one court ordered to do so?

When you have a child support order in place and you move to another state, you may receive a Foreign Child Support Order in the mail.

So what is this and how does it affect you? Does this mean that your new state will have jurisdiction over your child support case?

With your move to a new state, the Foreign Child Support Order will allow the state you now reside in to have enforcement authority over the support obligation established by the original state where your child support case was heard.

Question:

I have since remarried after my divorce was finalized.

What claim does my ex-wife have on my QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) since we still have yet to complete the paperwork concerning my retirement fund?

I live in Virginia and we divorced in California so which state has jurisdiction?

Question:

I was ordered to pay $3,000 of my ex's attorney fees from our divorce case. However, I never received any paperwork from the lawyer or the court detailing how to make payments, what fees and services I was paying for, etc.

A year later I received an invoice from the lawyer for almost $4,000. Do I have to pay this? Shouldn't I have been invoiced sooner, and how did the costs go up by $1,000?

Question:

I receive a bonus from the military roughly every five years.

Will this income be included when calculating my child support payments? If so, how could they count an irregular bonus as part of my annual gross income?
