This is court ordered. Divorce hearing is scheduled in just a few weeks (its been scheduled several times in the past 18 months, but something always comes up - usually her lawyer is using some kind of delay tactic). Each of us lives in the child's school district. Today I find that she has moved to Massachussets - very suddenly. The child was supposed to come over to my house yesterday at 5 - she texts me and says she's out of town with him and the weather is too bad to get a flight, and she'll let me 'make up' the days with him later. I find out through other sources that she isn't on vacation but she's moved permanently. My lawyer says sit tight for now. Also that this provocative move on her part will reflect very poorly on her in court. Especially since she's (presumably) moving in with her newest boyfriend who lives in that area. This is the third boyfriend she's had in the past 2 years - each one has been 'the love of her life.' My family is telling me I should file a report with the police - or do something to show that this fly by night behavior is unacceptable. One person said I should drive up there and get him back (but I'm very hesitant to do that). I'm worried because school starts here in Mississippi on the 10th and after labor day in Massachussets. I don't want him to get jacked around right before divorce court later this month. What would you advise: sit tight? call the cops? go get him? By the way: my attorney says that I have a very good chance of obtaining full custody based on some past erratic behavior on her part - even before this happened. It would have at least been joint custody with a lot of time shared between the two of us.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477833.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477064.001 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:49:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment I realize that all credit card debt during the marriage will probably be split evenly. If my husband uses his own credit card after I file for divorce would there be any possibility of that being split too? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477064.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477039.001 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:30:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment I was married for 6 years and during that time my ex husband ran up almost 50,000 dollars in credit card debt! I was not aware of much of this and am not a signer on any of the cards. I understand I live in a community property state. I was laid off in April, have four kids and have not been able to afford an attorney through this process. We had our MSC yesterday and he and his lawyer have proposed I begin paying my half back 1 yr. after I get another job at 0% interest. We did not set a timeframe for payback or an amount..only that we would agree on an amount when time came. The last card has not been been paid on for over a year and I requested he try to get balance reduced as I know credit card companies are working with you to get at least something. My research has led me to believe that if I still cannot do it I could file chapter 13 and include my equalization payment in that...so after so much time I would be done. First, is that correct and am I also understanding that I could not include this payment in a chapter 7 filing? If I chose to take this to trial is it likely a judge would make me pay half? Thanks! http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?477039.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476458.001 Sat, 25 Jul 2009 12:09:00 -0600 Child Custody & Visitation Sorry in advance for the book... I understand that both parties have the right to make major decisions regarding the children and that this includes non-emergency health care. My question is do I need my ex's permission before making any appointments on things that he's already agreed to? Additionally, if an appointment is moved by the dr.'s office & I forget to inform the ex, is he now off the hook bill-wise? Specifically, my son has asthma & is allergic to many things. He has been seeing an allergist for 6+/- years. Most of the time, I inform my ex of the appointments that have been made. He has never attempted to attend one (he refuses to be in the same room with me unless absolutely necessary - i.e. court), preferring to make his own phone meetings with the doctor if he has questions. About 5 months ago, a standard 'check-up' appointment was moved from its original date by the doctor's office. I put it in my calendar & informed the father that it was moved, but forgot to tell him the new date - I honestly thought I had & just found out last night from reading through pages of old emails that the date wasn't specified. I attended the appointment & informed him about it at the time, including what all had been updated, etc. I sent him the bill as soon as I received it, and never heard back. Now that the bill is past due (I sent a reminder) he is stating that he isn't required to pay for it because I didn't tell him about the appointment before hand - even though I did tell him, I just forgot to include the blasted date. This just sounds wrong to me .... our MSA states that non-emergency, non-routine care has to be approved 30 days before so that the other parent can get a second opinion or litigate... but it also states that we both have the right to make nonemergency health care decisions which he says I didn't allow by not giving him the specific date ahead of time. I'm confused - help?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476458.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476395.001 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:16:00 -0600 Marriage, Domestic Partnerships and Other Family Law Matters What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi. I live in Mississippi, my daughter and her mother live in California. She has full custody of my daughter. Custody was filed in California. Which state do I have to file with to relinquish my parental rights? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476395.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476196.001 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:42:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment Question about a lady friend who was married at a courthouse in AL, but resided in MS. What's the cheapest and easiest way to handle her getting an annulment or divorce. Here are the facts: - She's been married for three years. - He slept with another woman 6 days after they were married. - They tried to work things out, but it didn't work. - They had no children. - They've been separated for a little more than 2 years. - He had no intention to remain faithful, didn't work, and was physically abusive with a few police reports... while she always had a job. - And a good one from Wikipedia: "One partner had been deceived by the other in order to obtain consent, and if the partner had been aware of the truth, would not have consented to marry." And just outta curiosity... if she got an annulment thru a Catholic church, would she still have to go thru the "legal" proceedings as well. http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?476196.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475350.001 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 19:29:00 -0600 Child Support I share joint custody of my two children with my ex husband. I have physical custody of them. I have allowed my oldest son to live with his father for the past seven months. Am I required to pay childsupport to my ex for my oldest son? He hasnt been paying childsupport for either of my children when i had them both with me. I am currently getting my oldest son back to live with me with or without my exhusbands permission. I never signed him over to his father.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475350.001 http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475327.001 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:33:00 -0600 Divorce, Separation & Annulment My husband is talking about moving out of the house and getting a divorce. He travels for a living so taking our son is not possible for him. I am worried because I cannot afford the house by myself. His income is 3 times mine. Would he be required to make half the house payment and pay child support or would they consider making half the house payment child support in itself? http://www.elprime.com/tracker/subscribe.htm?475327.001
