Question:

My wife and I are getting a divorce, and she is requesting alimony.

I have traditionally provided for the family financially, but my income is a fraction of what it used to be. I currently am dipping into our savings just to offset expenses.

Will the court consider how much of my savings I have depleted to keep our family afloat when it comes to determining alimony?

Never in the history of man has a gender-driven movement such as feminism brought more confusion into the family structure and ultimately into the divorce and child custody process.

The real problem with the feminist movement is that it never sought to improve emotional or psychological relations between men and women.

It sought to bring women "equality" and even "supremacy." It ignored the fact that men and women are innately very different.

Instead of improving society and accepting men as being male and women as being female, it worked overtime at bringing about equivalency or sameness.

Question:

I wanted to see what the steps are to have my alimony and child support modified. 

My alimony and child support payments were based off high income I accumulated during years that my income was 100% commission. I am no longer in that position and my salary has decreased substantially, though it is much more stable.

I would like to have my alimony and child support modified to reflect my new salary level. Is this possible?

Question:

I was unable to attend the temporary hearing where my wife and her divorce lawyer misrepresented my financial information for alimony and child support.

As a result, my temporary orders for alimony and child support payments are 75% of my monthly net income.

Can I appeal this decision and modify the temporary orders?

Question:

I'm curious if there are divorce laws regarding how long the divorce process can last.

It seems like every time my ex-wife and I are about to finalize our divorce, she finds something new and continues to drag the case on.

When will my divorce be over?
