Question:

My ex-wife and I have a child support order set up through the court, which included arrears for the time between our temporary and final divorce orders. I was out of work for a couple of months, but now that I am employed, Child Support Enforcement has added an additional $550 a month to my child support.

Does CSE super cede a court order? This was not requested by my ex-wife, and she states that she is fine with the current amount. I don't have a problem adding a reasonable amount to the current payments to make up for the time I was unemployed, but I think $550 more a month is excessive. Not to mention the fact that I can't afford it. Can I enforce the actual court order, or maybe even another avenue to reduce the amount? My case worker from CSE has been completely uncooperative.

Question:

My wife and I have been together for 15 years and we have two children. We have been dealing with and trying to get through some issues for about 2 years now.

Our oldest is 13 and he has been a hand full to deal with. For the longest time, I have been fighting with him and it has brought a lot of tension between all of us. His grades have started to go down hill and we had to make some changes. Because of all the problems, the DFAC has gotten involved and our son is expressing a lot of anger toward us. The DFAC has forced us to separate even though we love each other very much. My wife has moved away with my children enrolled them in another county school system.  They have established living arrangements with another family member.

Question:

My STBX and I both have our names on the house, and we both agree that she should keep the house. However, I am concerned that she will struggle to pay the mortgage, and if she is forced to foreclose then my credit is ruined as a result. Will she be required to obtain refinancing in her own name (the time period I assume is negotiable) or force the sale of the house if she can not get refinancing within the time period negotiated?

As a note, she does not make enough money or have the credit to obtain financing. She claims she can make it work but I am still unsure.  What are your thoughts?

Question:

Can a Guardian Ad Litem be sued ?

I believe this GAL has a bias against me. I also believe that she did not tell the truth during testimony.
