 Question: Recently, custody was awarded to my wife. I was not present at the hearing due to the fact I was unaware of the date.
After reviewing the courts facts of the case, I know she and her attorney were making tons of false statements, including the biggest lie about not having a boyfriend when in fact she not only has a boyfriend, but the guy is living with her and my children!
How can I get this decision overturned or alert the court that my ex is blatantly lying? Is it too late to do this?
Among the Ask a Divorce Lawyer questions answered today by Cordell & Cordell attorneys:
- If we come to our own agreement on child support, do we have to adhere to the state's guidelines?
- Does going to a few GED classes mean I have to keep paying my daughter's child support? And if she moves out, do I pay support to her or her mom?
- If my lawyer submits a direct appeal to a child custody ruling, do the orders prior to the ruling still stand?
Question: I went through a 3 year divorce and wanted to obtain 50/50 custody. I did not get that. The judge told my lawyer in his chambers that he didn't award 50/50 custody. My lawyer has stated that there isn't anything more she can do for me on this matter. I feel that the cards where stacked against me. I am a great father to our 6 yr old, and she loves being with me. She told me that "fathers take care of daughters and that daughters take care of fathers". I would love to talk to someone that can help me? I am tired of feeling like a second class citizen.
Question: I just recently agreed on child support and spousal support. I settled out of court with my ex-wife and her attorney. However, I didn't have an attorney and now I feel like I was taken advantage of. I don't have the money for an attorney but I feel like I should have one look over my papers to see if I was steamrolled. Is it too late at this point?

Question: I have watched as the court is allowing evidence in a case. This evidence is 18 years old and the marriage was only 8 years old. How the ex obtained this evidence is not being allowed to be contested in court. Not to mention how old the information is. Please tell me how your law firm thinks about this kind of disclosure in our law system. How would you try and resolve this situation. I want to know if your law firm would even try to come up with a way to block it. Answer: It really depends upon what the evidence and situation. I really do not see how 18 year old evidence would be relevant in most circumstances. I had something like this come up some years past and file a Motion in Lemine which is a pre-trial motion that sets rules for the trial. In that Motion, the Wife wanted to bring forth some testimony concerning the father from 15 years past when he was 14 years old. I filed and won the motion and the opposing party was prevented from offering evidence or testimony about the issue. If the matter is already at trial, the attorney should object. If extremely important, the attorney could ask for the proceedings to be halted while he files a Writ with the Court of Appeals. If the information was allowed over objection and a Writ was not filed you could appeal the issue if the judgment is less than 40 days old.
