Question:

If a child support order that was established in the state we were divorced in was later vacated and the custodial parent now lives in another state, can the custodial parent file for child support in a new state of residence?

Since vacating the original child support order makes it null and void, does the original state lose jurisdiction over the child support order?

Question:

Is therapy for child considered a medical procedure that both parents should reach a decision on?

My ex-wife has taken our child to therapy sessions without my consent. My understanding is that any medical "procedure" needs to be agreed upon by both parties.

Is my child's therapy session considered a medical procedure?

Question:

As the court-ordered primary custodial parent of my children I would like to know my rights to have my kids returned to me after their mother refused to do so following her last visitation.

My children went to visit my ex-wife for an extended period of time and now she is refusing to return them saying they told her they want to live with her.

What are my rights as the custodial parent to have my children returned from a visitation that essentially turned into a kidnapping? How can I get my kids back?

Question:

My wife and I in a separation period, though still legally married. My wife and her mother (my mother-in-law) are trying to change my son’s school district, presumably closer to my wife so she would have a better chance at getting custody.

My wife is also planning on giving her mother power of attorney so that she will have the right to review and determine our child's education.

Can she give her mother power of attorney without my consent and then move my son to another school district?

Making a new happy home for newly divorced dads can be challenging, especially if you are raising your children while having joint custody.

Starting over and creating a new home for your children may spark the need to hire an interior designer, a popular trend according to a New York Times article about more divorced men hiring decorators to create their new home’s environment.

Interior designers help you decide on how much space you will need in a new home and if the layout works for your lifestyle. Interior designers work with you to create the type of living space to live comfortably and entertain as well as to relate to your children.
