Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Financial support is rarely awarded in animal custody cases because of the continuing contact required between the parties and the drain enforcement would be on judicial resources, similar to visitation cases.

Question:

How long does my ex-wife have to remove her personal property from the marital home after our divorce was finalized?

She was awarded most of the furniture, but it's been almost a year and she still hasn't removed it from the home. I don't want to get stuck with a bill for putting it in storage. So what can I do?

How long is the time frame for the furniture to still be in my house?

Question:

My divorce question is about a new modification and its effects on other parts of the decree that have been left untouched.

Our divorce decree says that my ex-wife and I will pay 50% of our child's health care costs. She has repeatedly failed to pay her full share of the monthly costs.

We went through a child custody modification last year where the visitation schedule was modified, though no other parts of the decree were.

Since a modification to the decree was previously made, does this effect all other parts of the divorce decree? So if she owes me financial support, am I able to go after her for reimbursement or is everything, including owed support, lost because there has already been a modification?

Question:

I pay alimony to my ex-wife. Our divorce decree is silent on the issue, but it is my understanding that I should no longer have to pay alimony if she is remarried or cohabiting.

My ex-wife is engaged, but I'm still paying her spousal support. It seems totally unreasonable to have to continue to pay alimony to an ex-spouse after she remarries.

So how can I get my alimony payments stopped after my ex-spouse remarries if the divorce agreement is silent on the matter of her cohabiting or remarrying?

Question:

I am concerned for my son's mental and physical well-being and want to know how to address medical issues if I am not the custodial parent.

He recently had surgery and since then he has been desperate for me, crying every time I leave and all week while he's at his mother's house. I want to find out why he is behaving so different and erratic, but my ex-wife is the parent responsible for education and medicine decisions.

If I take him to a doctor without her consent, I likely will be in trouble for disobeying the court order, though.

What are my options to get him help?
