Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Evidence suggests a person's behavior has more effect on financial success than income, and no matter what your income level is most people wish they earned 10% more.

Financial adviser Dan Danford, CFP®, CRSP®, MBA, shares tips to create financial success and how to overcome the three money disorders that impact a person's ability to achieve their financial goals.

Question:

I owe child support arrears, but my ex-wife is willing to drop all the arrears I owe.

Is that possible for an ex-wife to forgive child support arrearage payments, and if so, what is the process?

Question:

In my divorce, my ex-wife and I were to split all debts 50-50. However, she has failed to pay many of the utility bills and now those companies are coming after me for full payment because she is not working.

Can I just show them the divorce court order that I am only responsible for half the debt and that they need to go through my ex-wife for the other half? Or will these companies hold me fully responsible for these debts?

Question:

I was recently promoted and will receive an increased salary. Since I pay child support to my ex-wife am I legally obligated to inform her or the court of my increased income?

I assume that would automatically result in a child support modification and an increase in my payments.

Question:

My question is about how much alimony and child support I am going to have to pay and if those calculations are based on my current overloaded work schedule.

I work two jobs and nearly 80 hours a week to support my family because my wife refuses to work. I have been doing this for years.

Will my alimony and child support payments be based on these outrageous work hours or will a judge calculate payments based on a reasonable work week that hopefully I can return to post-divorce?
