Question: My ex wife filed a motion in Indiana(Madison County) to Localize and Grant Full Faith and Credit to the State of Virginia Divorce Decree in 1998. We were divorce in the state of Virginia and I was ordered to pay $380 per month child support. My daughter reached 18 last August and graduated from high school, However Indiana is still making mepay child support. Virginia law says you pay child support until 18 or 19 if not completed high school. Indiana law is child support until 21. Who has jurisdiction Virginia or Indiana? I wrote a letter to the prosecutors Office, Madison County(Indiana) stating Virgina has jurisdiction, however they never contacted me back and continue garnishing my paycheck. Answer: If your divorce was granted in Virginia and solely moved to Indiana for the purpose of enforcing the Virginia Order then Virginia law should apply. Meaning that Indiana has the power to enforce the existing order but any modification of the Virginia Order should be pursuant to Virginia Law. I am making the assumption that child support order was registered under UIFSA (Uniform Interstate family Support Act). If it was registered under another provision it is possible for Indiana Law to be applied. You should have an attorney look over the Court order to know for sure.
Question: My wife and I are still married but, I am living in an apt and she and our daughter and my two step daughters are living in our house of about 4 years. I left because of my wife basically staying out all nite and coming home drunk and I wanted to basically show her that I wouldn't stand for this from my wife, well it has been 5 months and there is no chance of reconciling. Our house basically has no equity because of improvements etc....but I want her out of the house due to the fact it is in both our names and I just want to not have any ties except my daughter who I see 2 to 3 times a week. What should I do and what could be my options?? P.S. We make basically the same yearly salary. Thak you very much 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 New York. I am assuming that you have not filed for divorce yet. It is important that if you want the house, you make that known as soon as possible. The longer you are out of the house, the harder it will be to get back in and get the house in the final division of property. Has she been making the payments and keeping up with the upkeep on the residence? That will help you if she has become deliquent in either fashion.
Question: My wife and I were on the verge of a separation. We have an 8 month old son. We had agreed, outside of a courtroom, that they would stay at her mother's, I would give them $$$ every week, and could see my son whenever I liked. In the meantime, we would try to work things out, or not. Along the way, she changed her mind and o 2/14 she left with my son while I was at work. I have no idea where they are. Anyone who might know, is either unable or unwilling to tell me. I have no way of inquiring about my son or his well being. The police tell me there is nothing we can do but be patient. How this isn
Question: I am divorced,the woman I am going to marry has a business and would like to include me in that business. Can my ex-wife benefit from that thru child support? 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 Michigan. Your income is the one that is relevant not your spouse's income.
