Question:

I would like to know how many days children of 15 years through 18 years can be left alone without a parent present. What are the general rules that apply when two divorced parents split custody, but when one parent is leaving minor children unsupervised? Does this fit into a right of first refusal? What is the procedure for my documenting this and calling it to the court's attention?

Question:

My wife of three years has been unfaithful. She did it once and we moved on, but I just caught her again with another man. I can no longer be with a woman who has cheated, twice now.  We also have a 2 year old daughter who we both love very much.

I am currently working on a 60 day contract making good money, but may be out of work after that. If we take our divorce to court, does she have more leverage since she has a solid 9 to 5 job?

Emotionally speaking, I feel that she may not be in a good place at the moment.  She is taking anti-depressant and anxiety medications currently.  I don't want to take my little girl away from her, but I am not comfortable with her state of mind right now. She is a great mother, but I worry about what may happen if I am not there.  I wonder how she will handle being away from a child she loves with all her heart. What do I do now, and do I have any chance for obtaining custody of my child with my job being so up in the air?

Question:

I have a few questions concerning my complicated marriage. I have been married for about 3 years now, my wife is 2 months pregnant, and we have a year and a half old son. Our situation is complicated because she is a Singapore citizen but has been a permanent resident in the USA for 10 years now.

She has been threatening me with divorce since the day we got married, and now with my son in the picture she constantly threatens that she will take my son back to Singapore with her when she does divorce me.  She is telling me that I will never see him again.
