Q: The father of my child migrated from Jamaica last year Oct and got married to a US citizen. He refuses to take care of his child. What can i do from here? At times i don't feel like reaching out to him because he doesn't even try but it is really hard at times being a single mom and paying all the bills.

Q: My daughters father never brings his W-2 to court, he brings his pay stubs. The problem is that he makes arrangements with his job to have them pay him half of his pay off the books. He does this when he receives notice from the court for childsupport. So on the court day it appears that he doesnt make any money. I know of this because his wife who is now separated from him told me.

Q: My former suppose and I agreed in settlement that we will both purchase and keep life insurance policies on which our kids will be beneficiaries, and my ex will be an owner of my policy and I will be an owner of his policy. My ex policy is a group policy owned by the company so they can't add anyone else as an owner.
He keeps loosing jobs every year and once he leave his employer they don't continue the life insurance policy so I suggested him getting private one - he disagrees (as always). What to do in situation like that? Also we had a deadline to obtain policies and he missed that deadline by month.

Q: My spouse and I are in the process of going our separate ways. For my financial security and peace of mind we've discussed and agreed on a plan to assume equal responsibility for outstanding debt. Payment details have been specified in a written document for which we intend to sign two respective copies. Does this in effect represent and legal and binding document that either party can be held accountable for in a court of law both pre/post divorce? If not, what would be the best remedy to establish an agreement/document that can be enforced in a court of law? Thank you

Q: We both have been seeing a mediator attorney to draft a settlement agreement since Feb. In May, she moved about $65,000 via Electronic Fund Transfer, she admitted, to her family. I do not approve of this. She is also paying for future college costs (her college) in advance. She currently controls much more money than I do. Do I have a case to sue to get that back (or a credit for it in splitting the assets) if she refuses to agree to it in the agreement, understanding that it might mean going the Lawyer route instead of mediation?

Q: I have a contract with my ex husband for 65 % of 1.66 million dollars and a witness to him signing the contract he is fighting the contract i want my money for my kids i need help

Q: I have full custody and he has visit. 2 weekends a month last visitation he txt me saying he was going to be 10 min late because of traffic. I happened to be going the same way to our meet up so I know there wasn't any traffic on at less on the main road. All I got from the father was a laugh and a "sorry hit traffic" (he is always 2-5 min late due to traffic) I asked my son how did he hit traffic&he said he had to pack and then they hit traffic only later to find out later that my son was in another state he never said anything about it, this is the second time he brought my kid out of state with out ok the first time he had ask if he could also keep him another day I never said yes when I txt to make sure I was getting back as usual I got a oh well he was keepin him & he was 30min late

Q: I will and have never brought my son into the prison, they stay separate.

Q: I was sexually abused by my step-father 20 years ago. I disclosed the abuse to my mother 6 months after the abuse started and nothing was done. My step-father stayed in our lives. I was never abused again but my step father has never sought therapy or given any reason to believe that the abuse stopped for any reason other than that he was caught. now after 20 years and 2 year of continuous therapy, I have come to realize the extent of emotional damage caused by the abuse and lack of any type of justice.I am fully aware of the statute of limitations and am only seeking to protect my 3 children. Their father is compliant to some extent but has lied to me about visits my children made to my mother and step-father in an effort to pacify my mother & step fathers need to see them.

Q: My husband has court at 9:30 in the morning his bail is set at 1000 dollars is it possible he will get released or how much time could he possibly serve?

Q: The only issues are child support and visitation which are being settled by the courts. Once those issues are settled I just need to file uncontested papers? Correct?

Q: If party A goes to jail for a assault on party B and Party A comes out of Jail because Party B does not have photos, can any photos be used later on? Party B says the police took photos but when party A got arrested the police said there was no bruises. Could the police have taken the photos and found there was no bruises on party B and that's why they were not used?
