Ask A Divorce Lawyer: Can she use her boyfriends expenses to avoid paying her child support?

Posted by pmcmahon in Steven Lee Akins Jr. , Legal Strategy , expenses , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

Within a week of separation, my wife moved in with her boyfriend and his son. She is using his expenses on her financial declaration to avoid paying the actual amount of child support that she will be required to pay. Does she have to show proof of her expenses? She does not have anything in her name, and actually has no expenses other than the normal, i.e. food, clothing, etc. She works for my family and a vehicle is provided for her of which they actually pay the auto payment, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and fuel. What do I need to do to present a solid, strong case against her and her lack of regard towards her children?

Ask A Divorce Lawyer: Are funds from the GI Bill taken for child support?

Posted by pmcmahon in Steven Lee Akins Jr. , Maintenance , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I am a military dad paying child support and about to go back to school thanks to funds made available by the GI bill from the federal government. Will child support come out of those funds? As part of the GI bill, I will also receive a basic allowance for housing. Can they take child support from that housing allowance?

Ask A Divorce Lawyer: What visitation rights and financial burdens can we expect from a divorce?

Posted by pmcmahon in Steven Lee Akins Jr. , Legal Strategy , financial , custody rights , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

My brother-in-law is stuck in an abusive marriage. He has been verbally and physically abused for about 13 years. In secret he has told me that he is afraid of leaving his wife because he doesn't know what steps to take or the consequences this move would have on his rights to see his kids and on the financial burden it would have on him.  As strange as this may sound she has control of all aspects of his life, including his computer time, which is why I am writing to you. Is there any advice you can give me to pass on to him? What are his rights should he decide to make a move?

Posted by pmcmahon in Steven Lee Akins Jr. , medical , Maintenance , dental , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

When a decree discusses only “medical” and “unreimbursed medical” does that automatically include dental/vision? Or would dental/vision be considered separate issues?

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Can my biological daughter's adopted parents keep me from seeing her once she's 18?

Posted by Matt Allen in Jason Bowman , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , age , adoption

Question: 

About 10 years ago I gave my daughter up for "open adoption" in surrogate court but also won visitation rights. We barely had any contact until we reunited last week. It is going great, but my daughter's parents are very unreasonable and have threatened me to stay away from my daughter even though she is 18.

She lives with them, but she is legally an adult and I'm wondering if there's anything legally her parents can do to keep me from seeing her?
