Oh yeah LOL and some days (like today for me) you really need it! That's why I love that site so much! The women there just listen...they really are great! I hope to see you there and you can read my whole sordid story LOL! Shanney

Well I think that is the way it works... We carry my SS on our insurance and we are also responsible for 1/2 of any additional monies owed AFTER insurance pays. We receive NO "credit" for what the insurance pays... If he is required by the decree to carry the kids on HIS insurance then take...

Does your decree specifically say he has to pay for orthodontia? It may be considered a "cosmetic" fix and he may not have to pay anything at all! If he is willing and able to cough up half after your insurance pays you may just want to take it and not risk mucking up the water...JMHO Shanney

Yas, He really sounds like a scary guy...When you get custody (I do believe it is just a matter of time), are you going to ask for supervised visits for him? I mean it sounds like he is a loose cannon and who knows he could try and take off with her? I would be afraid of that if I were you! As...

If she will not be accomodating as far as tranportation goes, you can file and order to show cause to modify visitation. You can do it Pro se if you choose. In CA they will send you to mediation anyway where you can try with the mediators help to hammer out a new visitation plan, specific...

Yas, I am glad your visit with the GAL went so well. Before you know it your baby girl will be back with you. Keep your chin up and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Shanney

Your son needs to continue to document every denied visitation. He needs to file contempt charges EVERY TIME even though it may be a long hard battle. Some of these judges will just continue to slap these women on the wrist, BUT after a while he can build a very solid case for custody if this CP...

Here is a website that should help your sister. She would have to fufill the residency requirements to file for divorce in NYS. Also when she left her husband can still file in the state they reside and she would HAVE to come back to respond to the papers. Also from what I have heard on this...

Roe v wade has made it so that NO ONE has any authority over your body BUT YOU! If you choose to have your child your STBXH will have NO RIGHTS to that precious baby until he/she is actually born. If you choose to move to CA now and can establish residency there (six months), then all court...

The fact is she can probably file any motion she pleases(doesn't mean she will get it). You guys should beat her to the punch and file to terminate it. If she does file...your husband files a counter motion(to terminate). Also in CA you can receive a hardship deduction for your 2 children. We...

How did he get stuck paying CS after High School anyhow? If I were you, I would have your husband file for a termination of CS, because you have 2 young children to feed and clothe and this young woman is an adult now. I really don't know Iowa law, but CS typically stops at 19 or when they...

Crazy, I will attempt to answer your questions and maybe this ridiculous thread can finally end. Per my experience (I live in CA), We retained my SD on our insurance until she was 21 years old because she was still a full time college student (even though she worked as well and she DID claim...

Yas, I seriously doubt his being with another woman would hurt him at this point unless she was a physical danger to your daughter. In fact if there was another person in his life who has a positive influence on her that would be a good thing (I doubt it would HELP him with his case though)...

Your husbands court order should spell this out. I know my husbands said 18 or 19 if still in high school. However we live in CA so I couldn't be sure about your state. Anyhoo have him take a close look at that order.

I totally agree...also children should be raised to be independant and should be able to provide for themselves. I do believe a policy should be in place (as in our case) for the minor children that would cover CS obligation and college for the child/ren in event of NCP death, but all policies...
