Question:mens divorce lawyer

I am looking for advice on child support laws regarding orders from an invalid divorce decree.

I was granted a divorce and child custody was awarded to me in Texas many years ago. My ex-wife took my child, who I have not seen since, and apparently was granted a divorce in Oklahoma that also forced me to pay child support.

So she is trying to enforce child support laws issued in a decree that should not be standing since you can't just get divorced twice because you didn't like the outcome of the first one.

What are fathers rights in this situation?

Question:

My husband obtained a 'divorce' from me in 1998, under fraudulent residency claims. Neither of us lived in the state of Vermont nor had done so for 7 months, when he filed. When the divorce was granted we had been out of Vermont for over a year. My question is: is this divorce a VALID divorce? I feel like it is a phony document and not legal.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my response with the disclaimer that I am not licensed in the State of New York. This Judgment may be void. Jurisdiction is required for a court to enter a Judgment. In your case, the Court may not have had subject matter jurisdiction over you and your ex-spouse. I suggest you consult with an attorney in Vermont to see what jurisdictional requirements exist for the jursidiction to attach. As a side note, what do you hope to achieve by getting rid of this Judgment? You may be opening a pandora's box of litigation that will be very expensive. I suggest you consider that before you go in with guns blazing.
