What is the name of your state? Pa In my previous post back in September, I was about to go and file for court ordered custody and support. Shortly after, I filed for support and my ex reacted just as expected, showing up here waving papers in my face and yelling. Long story short, the oldest...

What is the name of your state? PA After several years, I have decided to file for court ordered custody and support. Hoping that we can come up with an agreement that works for both myself and my ex, I would like to know of some of the items that should possibly be included that aren't always...

What is the name of your state? PA To make a long, convoluted story short, I'll sum everything up in one question.Is it as bad of an idea to send my 14 year old daughter to live for a few months (4 or 5) with her Father and his girlfriend as I think it is? There is no official custody order...

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?PA Due to some poor choices my 13 year old daughter has been making lately, I am considering sending to her to a therapist. Some of these choices are just run of the mill teenage stupidity, some are much more serious. I thought...

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? PA Yesterday,while playing with our almost seven month old Newfoundland, my daughter was bitten. I use the term loosely, because while the injury WAS caused by a tooth in his mouth, it was not a bite. They were playing fetch, she...

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I'll pass it on along to her, which is pretty much what I've tried to tell her already. Thankfully, for her sake, she's kept this account current due to the fact she's afraid Mom would be getting collection calls too. So continuing to make the payment...

Sorry, I guess I phrased the last question incorrectly. What I should have asked is could she choose to reaffirm this debt?(And by doing that not have my Mother have to find out?) It would be worth it to have to pay this back than have to hear again from Mom about her infinite screw ups...

What is the name of your state? PA My sister has told me she is considering filing bankruptcy. Her concern is that she took out an unsecured debt consolidation loan (20K+)a few years ago that our Mother had to co-sign for. She doesn't want Mom to find out but I'm thinking that that's not going...

myexsucks, are you sure we weren't married to the same guy? Mine would try and tell me the sky was purple, but I was never dumb enough to believe him. And that was a problem for him because I wouldn't give in and allow him to maintain the illusionary world he lived in. The man expected June...

All I am able to tell you is that we came to an agreement in our divorce agreement regarding a support amount, custody and visitation, along with the split of marital assets. Was submitted to a judge along with whatever else my ex's attorney did. Divorce granted. That's the real story. I...

Yes, I have an original copy of the decree. And am also positive I am really divorced. If I weren't, when my husband and I applied for our marriage license they would have caught any error in that department. That's why they have you take any previous divorce decrees when applying for a marriage...

In our case the parents do not have a good working relationship. He sees them when he wants and expects me to drop all plans to fit his schedule. A court order for visitation would have him being in their lives more than he is now. He'd be too afraid to defy it. And with a support order I would...

This is not about the money. What part of "Can we just input the amount he pays now into an order" did you miss? This is about, as I stated in a previous post, covering my ass. If I was wrong about him in one instance, I could be wrong in others, is all I'm trying to say. I moved on years ago...

We do not have a good relationship by any stretch. We can barely stand to be in the same room with each other. The kids are well aware of this, and I don't want to make this any tougher on them than it already is.

What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?PA Currently, my ex husband and I do not have court ordered support. Just an amount that we have come up with that he pays directly to me. This amount is roughly $200 less than the state minimum for the last known salary that I...
