Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

My daughter currently resides with me full-time and is no longer attending school, yet I am still paying child support to her mother - the supposed custodial parent.

Does a child have to be enrolled in school and living with the custodial parent in order for my ex-wife to continue collecting child support?

I feel that I should no longer be paying if she is leaving with me and not in school.

Question:

My child support question is about the child support laws regarding emancipation.

My daughter recently turned 18, which I thought was the age of emancipation, but she is still in high school.

She graduates in May and has no plans for pursuing any further education.

When should my child support obligation terminate? When she turned 18? When she graduates?

Question:

My ex-wife has primary custody of our son, but I would like to know if I can modify the child custody schedule due to his poor grades.

Over the last several years our son has failed the majority of his classes and gotten in trouble at school, including a recent suspension.

Is the fact that he is failing out of school and is routinely in trouble because of his poor behavior enough of a reason to attempt to modify child custody and have him live with me?

Men who live in the South are more likely to get divorced than any other region in the country, according to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau. The Northeast region has the lowest divorce rate.

The report's findings show the South has higher rates of marriage, higher rates of people marrying at a young age, and higher rates of divorce.

The data may come as a surprise to many who associate living in the South’s Bible Belt as being more socially conservative, yet the divorce rate is higher there.

Question:

My ex-wife and I share child custody 50-50. We live near each other but in different school district boundaries.

She wants to pull our kids out of the school district they have been in their whole lives (the one in my neighborhood) and enroll them in a school district closer to her a few miles away.

Can my ex-wife place the children in another school district without my consent?
