Question: When my son was born, his mother would not have my name placed on the birth certificate. By her own admission, this was done to negate my rights to him. We were not married. I filed an order for paternity to have my rights established. After she was served, she quit her job, cancelled the lease on her apartment, and moved to Florida within 5 days. Is there any law that states a child cannot be removed from the state after being served?
Question: My wife and I moved to Florida 5 months ago from New York which was her idea. Now things dont seem to be working out and we have talked about divorce. She is saying she is going to take the kids back to NY is there anyway I can stop her from taking the kids to NY?? Answer: I am not licensed in the State of Florida and therefore cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of that State. You need to check the residency requirements for Florida to file for divorce in that State. If it is less than five month, get a divorce and request for temporary custody on file. Have her served with the papers before moving back to New York and filing in that location.
Question: In Minnesota, if a maintenance award is reserved for a period of 3 years while the husband (obligor) goes back to school, can the judge grant an extension of the reservation period after the three years has passed if husband decides to stay in school longer? Answer: I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of Minnesota as I am not licensed to practice law in that State. Missouri does not have a similiar "reservation" period so I can not answer that question. I suggest you contact the original attorney who handled the case or speak to a new attorney. Either way, if the reservation period is extended, the Judgment will have to modified to show a change. Please contact an attorney to determine if an extension of the reservation period is allowed.
Question: I am paying child support for my daughter, but I never got married to her mom. I also pay half of the day care bills because I feel it is only fair. However, I never stopped to consider if I actually HAD to pay child support. Do I? And if so, is it a certain percentage? My daughter is almost 2, and both her mother and I work full time. However, I don't actually use the day care, since I have her on the weekends and take care of her the whole time. Her mother is the only one who uses the day care, and it is during the week, when she takes care of our daughter. Thanks for the help! Answer: Allow me to preface my response with the disclaimer that I am not licensed in the State of Nevada. I do not know if Nevada uses percentages. Right now unless you have a Court or Administrative Order obligating you, then you do not have to pay child support. I suggest that you continue to do so and be sure to keep track of everything you pay. Do not pay in cash. Track everything. In a paternity case, she can ask for expenses in some jurisdictions back 5 years. So she could file a couple years from now and that information would be very helpful. |
