Question:
My husband and I have been married 14 years marriage is irreconcilable and spouse is literally making me sick by stressing me out, which exacerbates my pain. I can no longer work license medically retired from military. We own a house in Hawaii, he works as a contractor and also retired from military with no child custody involvement Will I be awarded the right to stay in my home since I cannot be gainfully employed under any circumstances due to my daily pain level? I am on disability. The monetary benefits will not pay for the overhead of my house Will I be awarded alimony with my current employment status. I receive Medicare and TriCare for Life along with his employer medical benefits pay for my monthly pain meds. I can dress and feed myself he does not asset me in anyway. We have one vehicle which I paid for prior to my retirement but no longer drive ( I have a valid driver license). I have upgraded the interior and exterior of the home and all repairs, furniture and maintenance needed in the home are paid for by me. There are certain appliances in the home that benefit my medical condition paid for by my disability benefits. I wish to stay in my home since the interior and exterior upgrades benefit my medical conditions He pays for the mortgage, utilities, vehicle and home insurance. I pay for residential maintenance, family dental, TriCare, cable, cell phone bills, Home Association Fees and home maintenance insurance. Property taxes are exempted $150,000.00 due to my disabilities This man is an e-mail sex addict with other women and constantly runs up the cell phone bill calling women. Please help me. He is purposely keeping my pain level at a 10, which incapacitates me most of the time.
Answer:
I am not licensed in Hawaii. Every state will have different standards for awarding Alimony. However, the factors considered by many states are the earning capacity of the spouse and disability. Based on those factors you are in a good position. I recommend contacting an attorney in your state that can look at all the factors applying the law in Hawaii.

Ask a Lawyer: Pathological Lieing WomenPosted by Dads Divorce in Rules , Procedures , GA , Ask A Lawyer |
Question:
How have you or all the Father's across the country dealt with a Pathological Lying ex? She has 5 children by 4 men. She has had 4 abortions; 1 forced by parents and the other 3 were used as birth control. She held other things back because she knew I would not marry her if truth be known. Second son came about by cheating on her first husband with a married man. Our divorce was finalized Dec. 13, 2006 and she is remarried by Aug. 14, 07. I just spent the night in jail on the night of Labor Day because of her lies. She broke the divorce decree by allowing her boyfriend to spend the night while my son was in the house on top of the other 4 children that she has. What about the rights of the children? What about my son

Ask a Lawyer: ModificationPosted by Dads Divorce in Maintenance , GA , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer |
Question:
I have several details. 1 - My ex-wife is the custodial parent and we had a modification to our original divorce decree in GA back in 2002. She moved to South Carolina, ignoring the stipulation in our divorce decree that if either of us move more than 60 miles from Atlanta, GA, then we would have to agree on visitation arrangements or go to court for a modification. I can no longer give in to her demands which are very unrealistic, and may want to explore options to modify the time and expense involved. 2 - Both of us have had substantial increases in income, and I would like to look at re-leveling the child support under the new guidelines in Georgia with shared expense and my other two children factored in. Basically, my ex-wife just built a $400K house for her and my daughter on a $60K/year income, and I struggle to pay my bills in our household with a $100K income... Please let me know if this would be worth pursuing. The last time I went to court, I won on all three items I was pursuing, but was ordered by the judge at the last minute to pay all lawyers fees on both sides and it was labeled an arrearage...
Answer:
I am not licensed in Georgia. However, if your ex moved to South Carolina against the court order you will probably have grounds to modify. How long did she move? If it has been several years then it is unlikely to be grounds to modify custody but it is still worth pursuing to address visitation and cost of travel issues.
