Question:

When my brother died he left behind a substantial amount of life insurance and his wife was the beneficiary.

He had children from a previous relationship and his intention was for his kids to receive a portion of the insurance. His wife knew this but has refused to make appropriate arrangements to have the children receive some of this money.

Do the children have any legal recourse against their stepmom?

Question:

My soon-to-be-ex-wife and I signed a marital settlement agreement that she would not request alimony if she is hired for a job in her chosen field before we officially file for divorce in a few months. 

If she gets a job with a good pay, will the judge honor our separation agreement of no alimony will be paid by either party?

In divorce cases where hidden assets are suspected, it is often the husband who has been accused of concealing accounts or funds that might be used against him during the settlement proceedings. 

However, this fraudulent financial activity is not limited to just men. More and more women are in charge of handling their family’s finances, meaning that a woman may be just as likely to hide assets from her husband in order to manipulate a ruling in her favor.

The important thing to know is that when one spouse possesses the bulk of a household's financial control, he or she naturally gains the upper hand in their monetary affairs, making it easier to hide assets.

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:

I have a restraining order against me that says I am to have no contact with my ex-wife, so how does this affect my parenting time with my children?

There is a parenting plan in place with specific times for me to see my children, but our visitation exchange is supposed to take place at my ex-wife’s workplace.

How can I exercise parenting time and pick up my kids from my ex-wife if I am court-ordered to have no contact with her?
