Your divorce decree, once entered into by the court, becomes a court order. When a court order exists, the parties must follow the order or risk a possible Contempt or Show Cause Action.

Other options include a modification to the divorce decree.

Question:

I owned a car with my son, who is going through a divorce with his wife. Before divorce papers were filed, my son signed over his ownership interest in the car to me so I solely own the vehicle now.

So I took the car back, but my son received notice of a hearing date where his wife will argue that she should be entitled to the car because she frequently drove it during their marriage.

Will the judge make me – the owner of the vehicle – give the car back to her?

Question:

My temporary orders during my divorce force me to pay exorbitant child support costs along with my living expenses and the utility bills for the house she got to stay in.

These bills are almost bankrupting me and our divorce isn't even final! Am I obligated to keep paying these bills or can I modify temporary orders before they become final divorce orders and I'm left broke?

Question:

I pay alimony to my ex-wife. Our divorce decree is silent on the issue, but it is my understanding that I should no longer have to pay alimony if she is remarried or cohabiting.

My ex-wife is engaged, but I'm still paying her spousal support. It seems totally unreasonable to have to continue to pay alimony to an ex-spouse after she remarries.

So how can I get my alimony payments stopped after my ex-spouse remarries if the divorce agreement is silent on the matter of her cohabiting or remarrying?

Question:

I am concerned for my son's mental and physical well-being and want to know how to address medical issues if I am not the custodial parent.

He recently had surgery and since then he has been desperate for me, crying every time I leave and all week while he's at his mother's house. I want to find out why he is behaving so different and erratic, but my ex-wife is the parent responsible for education and medicine decisions.

If I take him to a doctor without her consent, I likely will be in trouble for disobeying the court order, though.

What are my options to get him help?
