Question:

My wife and I are in agreement that neither one of us will pay alimony in our divorce.

Can we put these "no alimony" terms in our divorce settlement agreement?

Will a judge allow a divorce without any alimony payments?

Question:

My divorce decree states I am responsible for paying college tuition for four years of college for each of my children.

I feel it is a violation of fathers rights to be forced to pay for college tuition.

What are my rights? Can this provision to pay for college tuition be reversed?

Question:

Do I have a claim to my wife's personal injury settlement?

As winter weather and resulting snow days makes dreams come true for children across the country, it raises the issue of how parenting time and child custody exchanges are handled on unexpected days off from school.

Typical child custody exchanges on normal school days usually occur after school the school day ends. But who gets the child on snow days when school is canceled on little notice?

Is it treated as a holiday and parents should follow the holiday parenting time schedule or is it just considered a normal day and the child custody exchange should take place as usual even though the kids aren't in school that day?

What is a legal recourse available if you later want to retract a divorce agreement you signed off on?
