Ask A Lawyer: What Are the Various Child Support Strategies?

Posted by pmcmahon in non-custodial parent , Erik Carter , custodial parent , Cordell Cordell, PC , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer , 50 Percent

Question:

Can you explain the difference between the various child support strategies. I am from a state that I believe uses the "shared income" model.

In my situation it seems that even though my ex has "residential" status I would be awarded child support based upon 50/50 and the large disparity in our incomes.

Ask a Lawyer: Mother wants to take children back to Australia

Posted by Dads Divorce in non-custodial parent , moving children out of country , Legal Strategy , injunction , FL , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I am an Australian citizen living in Florida. Recently I divorced my wife. We have two children. Now she wants to take them back to Australia. Can I call US customs or anyone else to stop her from taking the kids to Australia?

Answer:

I am not licensed in Florida. There are usually laws that govern removing children from the country without the non-custodial parents permission. I would contact your divorce attorney to see about getting a temporary injunction preventing the move.

Ask a Lawyer: Child's School Refuses to Correspond With Non-Custodial Parent

Posted by Dads Divorce in Visitation , school , Parenting , non-custodial parent , KS , custody , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I am the non-custodial parent of a 3rd grade son. I have provided his elementary school self addressed stamped envelopes for progress reports and any other pertinent educational matters. I have also given the school my e-mail address to correspond with teachers. The principal advised me that they are choosing only to correspond with the custodial parent (my ex). He advised that I must get all educational information from my ex-wife. Is the school district entitled to deny information to a non custodial parent? My child resides in Kansas. Thanks.

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Kansas. It depends generally what your Decree says. If it says that you are each entitled to the information and are equal parents with respect to making decisions regarding your son's education, then you are entitled to the information. I suggest you review your Decree. If there is a provision then make a copy of the pertinent part and bring it to the school's attention. If they still refuse to comply a friendly letter from your attorney can also be helpful.
