You would need to file a motion to clarify and go back to court. If you feel the wording in the decree differs from what was actually discussed and agreed upon during settlement negotiates then you have "cause." If you can prove that your ex husband is motivated to take a lower paying position...

If she thinks she deserves alimony it would appear that she feels he should "pay" her something. She invested 25 years in the marriage, probably raised his children and made her marriage, home and family a priority. Why the hell shouldn't he pay her something for ever how long? On the other...

Isn't it fairly normal for children to pit parents against each other? It is going to happen in intact families and in situations where the parents are divorced. By not encouraging your children to have a normal relationship with the other parent then you are playing a role in alienating that...

My husband say he doesn't want to make him come. We don't even know what happened or why he wanted to stop coming @ 9 yo. I say make him! He is 14 he knows better. Now If he still don't want to come and know his father by age 16 then Terminate Parental Rights. Why pay for something you can't...

I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT PAPERS TO FILE AND HOW TO DO IT Did you do as I suggested and call the court clerk in Indianna? You can petition for full custody. You can file a petition to clarify the order he has that gave him custody. This would give you the opportunity to prove in court that...

Why do you refuse to answer reasonable questions, such as, why didn't you file for contempt when he failed to return the children after visitation? Maybe because she had no knowledge of the process Maybe because she had no finances Maybe because she was too emotionally upset to think straight...

I don't know where you live, but here, it's not summer yet. Assuming that mom is truthful and had primary custody, the kids would be in her care and he'd probably have a standard visitation schedule. I think it'd be difficult for him to get away with this without her knowledge. I'm not saying...

So you are saying that you had custody of the kids, but your ex got a change in custody without your knowledge? How can that be? You didn't question it when he didn't return the kids? Even if your ex gave the wrong address to the courts, surely you would have figured out something was up when...

Did you people even read this person's posts? She has already stated that she gave the courts her address..."repeatedly." You say she knows court proceedings are going on and should be there but how can she know that if she is not being notified due to the courts refusal to use the address...

It wasn't at the kitchen table and written on a post it when he signed his rights away. It was on a legal document that the mother of the child sent to him to sign. It was signed in court by my husband and by the clerk of the court who was the witness. If this is true then the document will be...

It is kinda funny that my mentioning that my friend would like to have a couple of days off a month(or *I* would like him to, as the suspicion seems to be) would mean his giving up his Father of the Year credentials, when the mother of the child has about 80 days and nights a year away from her...

He only sees her once every 6 weeks, she is a one year old You say the father lives in Florida and the child lives in Missouri with you and your wife right? I have to tell you that a judge will be very impressed with a father who manages to see his child every 6 weeks with that kind of...

This is what cracks me up. States have sex offender registries so that people who live near these people can be aware of it and take messures to protect themselves. In other words idiot politicians who make these laws are smart enough to know that these are people that the general population...

If he is asking for 1/2 of this and 1/2 of that why can't she sell off the 1/2 left behind for money? I know it's "marital property" but by him taking half isn't he essentially saying the other half belongs to her? The coin collection might be of some value. Also, my parents had the same...

You have been told he is going to fight for custody but has he actually gotten an attorney and started the process yet? If he has, have you gotten an attorney so that you can defend your position? The only thing you can do to keep him from gaining custody is to be a good mother and not give...
