Ask a Divorce Lawyer: How aggressive is enforcement of child support?

Posted by Matt Allen in TX , move out of state , medical , job , Jason Bowman , enforcement , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , CA , Ask A Lawyer

Jason BowmanQuestion: I pay child support to my ex-wife in Texas. I recently moved from Texas to California for a job. I am on community supervision for a contempt charge for failure to pay child support in the past. 

This year, I have continued paying child support but got behind on medical reimbursement. If they revoke my community supervision, a warrant will be issued for my arrest. I am trying to pay what I owe, but have been unable. 

If a warrant is issued, will they come to California to arrest me?

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Will I have to pay alimony if my ex and her boyfriend both work?

Posted by Matt Allen in Maintenance , job , Jennifer Paine , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , alimony

Question: My wife of 20 years said she wants a divorce because she has a boyfriend and loves him. We have two children together, ages 16 and 17. I’ve been the sole provider for my family up until last year when my wife got a job at a local coffee shop.

If she is now working, and her boyfriend has a decent, steady job will I have to pay spousal support? I figure I’ll have to pay child support, but I don’t think I should have to pay alimony to a dual-income couple.

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: My ex won't get a job because then her support would decrease. How is this fair to me?

Question: My ex lives out of state with our son. She lives with her parents and barely works. In our divorce paperwork, I have to pay at a higher rate because her gross income is less than the federal poverty level. 

This seems ridiculous that she has no incentive to get a raise because then her child support check would shrink. I'm wondering if her lack of a full time job is taken into consideration when child support is calculated

I feel incredibly stuck since I’m paying 25% of my net income.

Ask a Divorce Lawyer: Is it abandonment if I leave my 17-year-old with her older sister but still pay for her needs?

Posted by Matt Allen in TN , moving , job , Erica Christian , Cordell Cordell, PC , Children , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer , age

Question: I am in the process of a divorce and my wife left me and my daughter in Tennessee. My daughter will be 18 in March. I was hired for a job out of state and I am due to leave by my daughter’s 18th birthday. She is still in high school. 

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?
