Question:

My wife and I are in agreement that neither one of us will pay alimony in our divorce.

Can we put these "no alimony" terms in our divorce settlement agreement?

Will a judge allow a divorce without any alimony payments?

Financial support is rarely awarded in animal custody cases because of the continuing contact required between the parties and the drain enforcement would be on judicial resources, similar to visitation cases.

Question:

How long does my ex-wife have to remove her personal property from the marital home after our divorce was finalized?

She was awarded most of the furniture, but it's been almost a year and she still hasn't removed it from the home. I don't want to get stuck with a bill for putting it in storage. So what can I do?

How long is the time frame for the furniture to still be in my house?

Question:

My divorce question is about a new modification and its effects on other parts of the decree that have been left untouched.

Our divorce decree says that my ex-wife and I will pay 50% of our child's health care costs. She has repeatedly failed to pay her full share of the monthly costs.

We went through a child custody modification last year where the visitation schedule was modified, though no other parts of the decree were.

Since a modification to the decree was previously made, does this effect all other parts of the divorce decree? So if she owes me financial support, am I able to go after her for reimbursement or is everything, including owed support, lost because there has already been a modification?

Your tax filing status, for most filers, is determined on December 31. If you were still married on that day, then you and your spouse can file a return with the status "married, filing jointly."

This is true even if your divorce began before the end of the year and even if you are living separately and have not relied upon each other’s income.
