Question:

What are my ex-wife's chances for successfully winning a child custody modification?

She filed a modification of custody because my daughter has been late to school several times this year while in my care and I have a new child on the way with my pregnant wife.

Does the fact that my child was late for school a few times and that I have another baby on the way with my new wife qualify as big enough reasons to change our custody arrangement?

Question:

What state has jurisdiction of a child custody case if I want to prevent my child from being relocated out of state?

My child and my ex-wife still live in the state we were divorced in, though I have since moved across the border to another state. My ex-wife recently informed me that she is moving with our child across the country.

I need to know which state is considered the child's "home state" so that I can file a motion to prevent the move that could possibly result in a child custody modification.

Question:

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:

How can I modify child support payments if the child custody schedule has changed?

My teenage son has moved out of his mother's house and now lives with me, yet I am still paying my ex-wife child support.

How can I have my child support payments to my ex-wife reduced?

Question:

What issues can be address during contempt of court hearings in a family law matter?

I filed for contempt of court because my ex-wife is refusing my visitation rights, but she is threatening to bring up other unrelated parts of the divorce decree that she says I am not following.

So what happens during a contempt hearing? Can her divorce lawyer bring up other issues related to the decree?
