I am divorced, unemployed since April, but have kept up-to-date on child support of $725 a month. I have two children, a 23-year-old non-student and a 19-year-old high school student. How do I find the procedure for self-filing a modification of the child support plan?
Rather than leave the state with me, she wants to stay in Tennessee with her 20-year-old sister. Am I abandoning her if I provide for all of her needs and leave her with her sister for a few months until she turns 18?
This is a true story about the love of a single dad and how the current economic crisis has affected just one family in America. There are many families out there facing similar problems. Some of those are also struggling with more pressing issues than this family. And some others have just given up and turned to welfare to sustain them. Some have turned to crime. Some are still trying to make it without depending on the Government, they still believe that America became great because we, as a Nation, worked to achieve greatness. Sam (all names have been changed), believes in his heart that he should be the master of his destiny. He believes that he should be working and providing for himself and his family, Since he was in his teens, Sam had always had a job. Now, for the past year, he has been looking for a way to support his family. Sam is a single parent.
Question: I agreed to higher child support then required by the state of TN and I would like to get it reduced to the outlined state level. What is the process to get this done?
Question: The mother of my fiance's 8 year old daughter wants to live with us. The mother is violent to her boyfriends and has the cops called to her residence frequently. The mother always leaves the child with neighbors or family members. We have officers who can testify to the types of calls they receive from the residence. We would like to go to court and try to prove Substantial Change In Circumstances. The mother has had to visit a mental facility to evaluate her. She is unstable and has threatened us repatedly to keep the child from us on the weekends. What can we do to help our case? Answer: I am not licensed in the State of Tenn and therefore cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of that State. The police involvement solves one of the more difficult aspects of many domestic relations cases: proof. Often the important evidence in family law occurs behind closed doors and the case hinges on "he said against she said" testimony. If you have neutral third parties that have documented incidents and can prove your case, you are in a very good position. Get the police records and mental health records (if possible) of the mother. Find out the name of the boyfriends that have been involved in the disturbances as they may be willing to testify against the mother. The final element that you will want to show is how the mother's actions in the home have harmed the child. Look at school records and consider retaining a psychological expert to test and interview the child. |
