Ask A Lawyer: Will Her DUI's Help My Custody Case?

Posted by pmcmahon in Richard Coffee , Legal Strategy , joint custody , DUI , custody , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , abuse

Question:

My wife and I are about to file for a divorce, but I would also like to file for joint legal and physical custody. My wife has stated that I am abusive, but I'm not. There has never been a police report filed, but she says she will state this anyway. I'm a great father, having always supported my kids emotionally and financially.

My question is: Can her accusations prevent me from getting joint custody?  Also, since she has two DUI’s within the last 12 years, and as a result a suspended license on her record, will this help my case? How should I go about preparing to bring up her history if I need to?

Ask A Lawyer: Can I Get My Child Support Dropped?

Posted by pmcmahon in Maintenance , joint custody , Cordell Cordell, PC , Claudia Weaver , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I have been divorced almost 3 yrs. We share custody of our children. I have them 50% of the time, and she has them for the other 50%. When we got the divorce, she had a job and carried the insurance. She was also supposed to do half of the driving for the children; however she has now lost her license and her job so I pay the insurance and do all of the driving. I also pay for all of the medical bills. Can I get the $300 a month child support dropped since everything has changed after the divorce?

Even though I work full time, I am struggling to pay all the bills; the support, the insurance, gas for driving them around, and everything else the kids need.  I have to continue paying for all of these expenses since she does not pay them anymore. I have gotten behind on child support because of the added expenses, and I need your advice.

My wife is pregnant now, and we can not live together anymore. She says that she will agree to joint custody, but not right when my child is born.  Is this fair?  I don't know what to do.

Ask A Lawyer: Can She Regain Joint Custody?

Posted by pmcmahon in Richard Coffee , Parenting , parental rights , joint custody , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer , abandonment

Question:

My daughter and her ex share joint custody of their child.  A while ago, my daughter moved to Arizona where just last year she began having some problems and sent her daughter to stay with dad until she was better. During that time, the dad filed abandonment papers and my daughter lost custody. A registered document was mailed to my daughter, but it was sent to her old address so my daughter never received it.

Can she regain joint custody and how much does this process cost? Can this be done free through court documents or a legal library?
