Question:

At the time of my divorce I was not disabled, but I now receive disability benefits and my retirement pay has thus been reduced.

My ex-wife had a clause entered in the decree stating that I could not claim disability and reduce my retired pay.

Must I pay her the money that was reduced because of my disability?

Question:

I pay child support for my son who is now receiving benefits from the state because of my permanent disability. He was awarded more in benefits than what my monthly child support payments are.

Can my son's benefits he is receiving because of my disability be allocated on my behalf as my monthly obligation for child support?

Question:

My divorce question is about modifying child support while temporarily out of work.

I was recently diagnosed with depression from my divorce and was placed on short term disability leave with a huge cut in my salary.

Can I reduce my child support payments until I am working full-time again? If I file for a modification, will it just be increased again once I'm back working?

Question:

I am a 100% disabled military veteran who receives a pension and does not work.

Is my soon-to-be-ex-wife entitled to any of this military disability pension money I receive on a monthly basis?
