But I am needing some information on this subject. First off, this is all from my point of view (Child) I am currently 20 years old and have never met my biological father nor do I think he wanted any part in my life. And not once have I ever got any form of support from him while growing up. And I am curious if there are any legal steps I could take for those 18 years (Not sure if it stops at 18 in Missouri) that he did not support me in any manner. And advice or places I can get more information is greatly appreciated. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477535.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477462.001 Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:40:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation My fiance is having a dispute with her ex husband pertaining to the interpretation of their parenting plan. The question is as follows: If either parent schedules a week of their summer vacation and it is during the other parents regular weekend, does the parent that lost their weekend get to make it up? This year HE was parent 1 and chose his 1st week to conflict with Her regular weekend. Then She scheduled her 1st week in the same manner. After he had his first week, and then had his regular weekend, He decided that it would be a violation of the parenting plan for her to take her regular weekend after her 1st week of vacation. Any help understanding the language of this parenting plan by an actual atty would be gratefully appreciated. Opinions fron non-legal proffessionals are also welcome. Thank you for helping us. The actual wording of the parenting plan paragraphs that apply are as follows: A. Weekend: Every other week Mother shall have custody beginning after school or at 3:00pm (whichever is earlier) on Friday through and ending at 8:00am or at the beginning of school (whichever is later) on Monday; beginning the weekend following the date of the judgment. If either parent's holiday weekend, as set forth below in sub-paragraph "D", conflicts herewith then the parent losing their regular weekend shall receive the other parent's next regular weekend to thereafter be followed by the original schedule so that each would have 2 consecutive weekends. B. Weekday: Every week Mother shall have custody from Thursday after school or at 3:00pm (whichever is earlier) until 8:00am or at the beginning of school (whichever is later) on Friday. Therefore, in the alternate weeks Mother shall have custoday continuously from Thursday after school until 8:00am on Monday (whichever is later). C. Summer: The weekend and weekday schedule will continue throughout the summer except that each parent shall be entitled to two weeks of continuous physical custody. The two week period may be used as one time block or split into two one week blocks. Each party shall be entitled to have the first pick of this summer vacation block in alternate years with Mother entitled to make the first pick in 2008. The parent picking first (Parent 1) shall choose either one week or two consecutive weeks. If Parent 1 chooses to use only one week at a time, then the other parent (Parent 2) shall be entitled to make their choice of a week or two weeks within 10 days of the notification of Parent 1's choice. If Parent 2 is only using their time in two one week blocks, then the next pick will be by Parent 1 who must make a choice within ten days of notice of the selection by Parent 2. Finally, Parent 2 shall then select their second of two weeks within 10 days of notification of the final pick by Parent 1. The parents shall notify the other parent of their choices in writing or by email or fax. Except for the summer of 2008, Parent 1 shall make their first pick by April 1st of each year. However, because of the date of entry of the dissoultion judgement, Parent 1 shall make their first choice by June 10th. D. Holiday and Special Days: Holidays and special days herein shall prevail over weekend, weekday and summer vacation set forth in sub-paragraphs "A", "B", and "C" above. Birthday periods shall not prevail when in conflict with other Holiday and Special Days. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477462.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477324.001 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:57:00 -0600 Child Support I have two children. In 1996 when ex and I divorced we agreed upon $350 per month for child support for the two children. This continued until 2006 when she moved the children further away. The judge then reset childsupport down to $300 per month Sept-May and nothing June, July and Aug. This amount was not calculated using any income amounts it's simply what the judge ordered do to the fact she wanted to move because her husband had a better job and he told her she should bear more of the financial responsiblities. (His exact words). Currently one of the children (age 17) has decided to move in with me. Although mom isn't happy about it she feels there is little she can do so she told her she would not fight her. However she refuses to do anything for her as long as she is with me. I understand I simply can't stop paying or change the amount of support, but isn't my daughter entitled to her mothers support as well as mine? I'm sending the same amount of support, yet I now have all of the bills for my daughter. I'm worried that since the orginal amount of support was not determined according to any income guidelines, and given the fact my ex has never kept a job over 3 months there is probably very little I can do. Any suggestions? Also wondering since CO says nothing about who claims the children on taxes may I claim my daughter now that she lives with me and not her mother. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477324.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477265.001 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:09:00 -0600 Child Support I won my CS case and now my ex has had is lawyer file a "Motion for New Trial or re-hearing" b/c he didn't like the outcome. I have several questions so I will just pop them off: Does the court have decide to re-open/new trial or do they ever just look at the case again and decide if they want to or not? If they decide to re-open/new trial the case will I get the same judge or will another judge do it; what is the process there? Can I request that they keep the case closed and if so how? Will I recieve a new petition or is this "Motion for New..." my new petition?

I live in CT and she advises me to get a bit of advice from a CT lawyer on the papers we have written up thus far. Is there anyone out there that would be willing to view them? Also, I would like to see that my son is protected to the utmost regarding Child Support but hear that CT's CS calculation is a joke. I would also love some advice to ensure I am not missing a thing regarding my son and what is owed to him. Warmly, Margi http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476717.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476318.001 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:39:00 -0600 Marriage, Domestic Partnerships and Other Family Law Matters I am wanting to leave my husband due to abuse in the household and he is an alcoholic that refuses to get help. I have family that is willing and able to help but they are in another state. My question is can I get into trouble if I leave the state of Missouri with our son. I am desperate and need to leave soon. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476318.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476316.001 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:37:00 -0600 Alimony & Spousal Support My husband has a non-modifiable support order to his first wife. The money is garnished from his pay but is sent directly to his ex-wife and is not processed by any government agency. Because it is a garnishment and they can only take a portion of his income, he falls behind each month. Because it is not being tracked by any particular agency, I'm not sure who has record of this. If he dies first, will the arrearage have to be paid out of his estate? If she dies first, will the arrearage be owed to her estate? Thanks. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476316.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476095.001 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 06:16:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation I am seeking advice. My Fiance and his ex-wife have joint conservatorship over their 11 year old daughter. She will be 12 in September. She is restricted to Dallas County or a continguous county. She informed him on Monday that she was going to be getting married and moving her out of state to Missouri. He is totally against this. We made her an offer of splitting the year six months here and six months with her and no child support. She has totally refused and now is threatning him to go back to the original divorce papers and visitation schedule which means he will never see his daughter until we can get that part modified. My question is does she have the right to just pick up and move like this and take his daughter when he does not approve of this. He pays child support on time each month and never misses. There are other issues such as not passing school and other little things. What are some of his options at this time Any advice is helpful. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476095.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476042.001 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 18:33:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment I am trying to divorce my husband but not sure how to proceed. We were married in Las Vegas during April 2006. I lived with him in Kansas City Missouri. After a few months of constant fighting, I left the marriage and moved home to Rio. He has refused to divorce me and will not file any paperwork even abandonement papers. How can I proceed to divorce him? I've contacted an American law firm in Missouri but have not heard back. What can I do? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476042.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475961.001 Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:02:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? My husband has 2 children with his ex-girlfriend. They are currently 12 and 14. There child support order is through the state of Oregon because that is where they originally lived. She moved to Missouri to get married 7 years ago and he moved to Iowa where he had family 5 years ago to be closer to his children. She has since moved one more time in Missouri, two times in Illinois, two times in Oregon, and now lives back in Missouri with another family of 4. The children are tired of moving, have no friends, currently have no possesions because they live in a house with 8 people in it and there is no room for their things. The 12 year old wants to live with his father and I in Iowa. He is terrified that he will be shot and killed in school this fall because of what he has seen where he lives now. He has no stability and hates the people the lives with. His mother won't let this happen because she doesn't want to lose the child support, as both her and her husband are unemployed, and child support is their only source of income. First of all, in which state would my husband file for custody at this point. Second, does he have a chance to win? And third, can his son live with us while custody is being determined so we can get him enrolled in a school he is not afraid of attending? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475961.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475865.001 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:04:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation Missouri Am currently involved in a custody dispute with my ex wife. She has a history of abuse against our son and one of the two children she had after she moved out. ( one of which was when we were still married ) What started all this recently is her threatening suicide with a gun. ( she has since recanted that despite proof of the incident) She has told someone recently that she has something that will totally derail my case and myself. The only thing I can think of is she will tell me our son isn't mine. Question is: Are my parental rights in danger for a child that has been in my primary care since she left when he was 1 years old? ( at least 5 days a week with me ) He is seven this year and, in my opinion, I am his father. Regardless of whatever any test concludes.

He had a coin collection that his wife removed from his safe when she left the home. Her feeling was she did not want him selling off the coins and living her out in the cold. The friend does not want the collection to be involved in the divorce settlement. H wants to offer the equity in their house for the return of his coins. He inherited a good portion of the coins, bought many before he was married and does not want to break up the collection. He is offering what I feel is foolish, since the judge most likely will split their assets and leave the coins to him. What best advice could I give him? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475819.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475731.001 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:37:00 -0600 Marriage, Domestic Partnerships and Other Family Law Matters My fiance and I have been together for 2 and a half years. We will be getting married in a few months. She has a 3 and a half year old son from a previous relationship (not married). The biological father is somewhat present. He picks and chooses the dates he wants to see his son. Recently, when the bio father picked his son up from our house he heard my fiance referring to me as "dad". He told her that it needs to stop and he will not allow it. Her son started referring to me as dad a couple months ago and when my fiance and I discussed it we agreed we would support him in calling me such. I do love him as my son and would love him the same no matter what he calls me. My question is, legally is there anything that the bio can do to stop him from calling me dad? How should we approach this with bio father? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475731.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475611.001 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 06:24:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? missouri my son is 13 and he want to come and live with me. can he choose where to live? i have visitation with him but have not got to see him in 3 years. when i get a phone number to call him his dad changes the number. his dad moved him 4 hours away so i cant see him what can i do http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475611.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475601.001 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:04:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation My husband divorced his ex-wife in 2007. It was uncontested since she was in prison. She has now been out for a year and is trying to destroy everything we have worked for with these kids. They have 4 kids together. we have full custody of them. She has already taken us to court once because she wasn't happy with the supervised visitation we were giving her (the oldest child was molested by his ex-wife's brother and his ex-wife did nothing about it, she can also tell you how to do more drugs than I can name). That got dismissed because she had filed the wrong forms. Everything was ok for a little while and we started letting her have the kids every other , but then we found out she was filling their heads with negative things about us and empty promises so we were advised by the kids counselor to go back to supervised visitation. Now she filed for a motion to modify and is trying to get sole custody of the kids. Her motion to modify is filled with lies. Thank God I keep everything so most of it we can fight but we are not sure what else to do. What can we do to help the kids now? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475601.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475341.001 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:56:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment My husband and I have been seperated for about a couple months (I will be filing for divorce soon). When he left he took all of our files that contain various bits of information; i.e birth certificates (original copy), my lease agreement, student loan information, car title, etc... He is being stubborn to say the least and will not give them back to me. I need them for obvious reasons. Is there anything i can do to get them back or am i stuck with this situation until this divorce is resolved in court? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475341.001
