Ask A Lawyer: Divorce In The Philippines

Posted by pmcmahon in social security , military , foreigner , Erik Carter , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I am an American now living in the Philippines, and I made a mistake by marrying the wrong Filipina. I want a U.S. divorce from her. I have a friend who was in the same situation and got a U.S. divorce without leaving the Philippines a year ago.

I am on Social Security and no longer have a home in the United States; therefore I cannot afford to come there for a time to accomplish a divorce.

The U.S. Embassy here in the Philippines tells me that getting a U.S. divorce is possible in my situation. I have heard that once the divorce has been acquired, I can simply have it legally entered into record here in the Philippines.

Ask a Lawyer: social security/marriage laws

Posted by Dads Divorce in TX , student loans , social security , Rules , Procedures , marriage , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

If I marry a man who has an outstanding debt to the federal government for an unpaid student loan, will I get my social security withheld? The debt will never be paid back, because he will never have the money. I have worked hard all my life, to insure that I will get my social security when I retire. If I marry him, will this be taken away from me?

Answer:

Generall, a debt for student loans is separate debt that can not be ordered to be paid by the other spouse in a divorce situation. It should not impact your benefits. I think you should verify the same with social security to be certain, as normally this issue is dealt with in a divorce scenario.

Ask a Lawyer: Child support obligation when non-custodial parent is permanently disabled

Posted by Dads Divorce in social security , NH , Maintenance , Maintenance , disabilty , Child Support , Child Support , Ask A Lawyer , alimony

Question:

I am in the process of starting my divorce and I have an awkward situation. The spouse had a bad accident 2 1/2 years ago. She was awarded permanent disability from the VA and Social Security. I will be having full custody of our 4 year old son. Will she be obligated to pay child support or am I on my own? A lawyer in FL had told me if he were her lawyer he would fight to not have to pay child support.

Answer:

I cannot answer your question specifically to the laws of NH as I am not licensed in that State. The accident and declaration of permanent disability will negatively affect your claim for child support. In my jurisdiction, we would still run a child support chart based upon her income (from what ever source) and most judges would require her to contribute that amount. A court would be more likely to order the support per the chart if you have a relatively modest income. Depending on other factors such as length of your marriage, your income and the amount of property divided you could be in a situation to pay maintenance. If maybe advantageous to forgo child support up front to avoid a claim of maintenance.
