Filing divorce on line or not
Q: Can we file for divorce online? We have no assets except for 401k. However my husband owes me a lot of money for example tax returns that we never received back due to his non status and most recently he had his car illegally parked without registration racking up a lot of tickets [car was previously registered in my name] my car was towed and I had to pay all the tickets. Will half of the 401k automatically go to him even though he owes me money and does this situation make it more complicated to file online?

Do I Have To Keep Paying My Ex Child Support Until My Support Court Date In Late March, Even Though The Child Is Living With Me?
Q: I have a case in family court where I've been given temporary custody due to a TOP as of late December.

How long would a filed divorce remain valid and who would be best person to contact to determine the status of the paperwork?
Q: I'm a social work intern trying to find out information for one of my clients. My client filed for divorce 10 years ago and paid all the associated fees, but the divorce was never finalized. My client is curious if she needs to repay and refile the divorce papers or if her original paperwork would still be usable or applicable, which would be preferable to the former as she does not currently have the means to file again. There is no property to split or child support, nor would her spouse contest in any way. My client wants to protect herself when she retires so that her spouse could not have any claims on what little income she may have. Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
What's The Term I Need To Say The Court Unfairly Issued An Outcome That Wasn't Requested? Not "unjustly Enriched" But Like That?
Q: I am filing an objection to an order & decision of a support magistrate in Westchester County, NY. My deadline is Wed. Jan. 6th! The order & decision was combined for "judicial economy" so 2 petitions are inter-twined. Mine, a wilfull violation of non payment of child support, & my ex's, a modification of a support order, stating our child was no longer living w/me & WAS living w/my ex, & requesting a termination of child support. Neither petition requested or alleged emancipation, yet the magistrate's order teminates child support based on constructive emancipation. Riveting, considering her order also states that I "pay for the child's cell phone & health insurance & regularly sends him money" AND that my ex "provided the court evidence of cash transfers to the child & payment to the college amounting to $4,065.05...& testified he has paid over $3000 for the child's auto repair, $1,593.00 towards the child's housing expenses & $784.00 in misc. living expenses". Clearly the child, who is 19 & a FT college student w/NO job, is entirely dependent on his parents for support & NOT emancipated. The order also find my ex NOT in violation & dismissed my violation WITH PREJUDICE!
Can I Send My Daughter's Email To The Family Court Judge With A Cover Letter? Or Have Her Write A Letter To The Judge?
Q: I have a case in family court requesting an order of protection for our daughter at her request. She's 17 this month. Although my ex had full custody for several years, our daughter revealed that she was being abused and, following a police incident (the neighbors called), she wrote a 2 page complaint and then requested a police escort to get all her things out of the house. She now has a TOP, but there's a hearing in a couple of weeks and she doesn't trust her law guardian (for good reason). She wants to send an email to him, saying she's not comfortable with him and is therefore not able to tell him everything. It's a very corrupt cast of characters in this case. The judge said she doesn't really want to change custody or child support, even though the child is living with me - explaining that the child may want to go back & forth and she's 'aging out' soon, so let's just keep the status quo. FYI, the child revealed my ex was punching her in the face among many other things, but the law guardian didn't mention the abuse in court. The judge said she doesn't read police reports and she wasn't interested in looking at pics of the bruises. The child's voice isn't being heard
Can Our 17 Year Old Daughter Insist That Her Older Sister Stay In The Room With Her When She Meets With The Law Guardian?
Q: Our 17 year old (this month) younger daughter has a temporary order of protection from my ex. She's been appointed a law guardian that she doesn't trust, because he's friends with my ex. In a previous proceeding, I requested a new law guardian for her, but he has political connections and he stayed in place. We just had the preliminary hearing in family court and the full hearing is coming up soon. The law guardian now wants to meet with our 17 year old, and she wants her 23 year old sister with her the whole time, who was also abused by my ex. Can our 17 year old daughter insist that her older sister be in the room with her when she meets with the law guardian? And can she insist that he does not have one of his associates in the room?

Looking to get a divorce, my spouse is a GC holder, what are my rights vs her rights, how do I proceed?
Q: Spouse is green card holder (8 months) through marriage, 1 year 4 months married. She is unemployed throughout the marriage. We jumped into this very fast, married genuinely, I love her, but this is fading as am not IN love with her anymore. Total dependency on me, but I want to end it, and it's not her fault. I'm afraid this will hurt her, "throwing her on the street" and I can't live with that guilt. I have been supporting her in everything. We don't have savings, nothing is under her name (i.e. rent, phone), she is joint account holder/authorized user on my bank and credit cards, respectively. I hope that when I break the news, she doesn't become scornful, seeking revenge, and going after the little we have. Or worse, going after alimony as I have been financially supporting her the whole marriage. Looked at an alimony calculator, and the payment is exuberant because she is unemployed. She is looking for work, a good job, to start her career in the states, I have thought about waiting until she gets her feet on the ground. Tax season is coming up, I'm not sure this is up for grabs. I'm just trying to find a peaceful, economic solution to this.
Can I serve summons and complaint (uncontested divorce) on my husband who lives abroad by express mail?
Q: My husband and I have been separate for more than a year. He left the U.S. and went back to his country. I am a U.S. citizen and he is not. I am still married to him on the papers, and I want to get a divorce. However, I am going to process on my own. For service of the summons and complaint, is it sufficient to drop the papers with an international courier with his last known address? We do not talk, so I cannot get a waiver or affidavit from him. However, I know that he will not object to this divorce. Can you please tell me if I can serve him through express mail or regular postage?
Can you evict your spouse once you get divorced?
Q: Woman divorces her husband. The court can't rule on the apartment in the divorce but the divorce is finalized. It's the woman's apartment so can she take his name off the lease once they are divorced? Does she have to wait thirty days to evict him or can she move him out immediately? She has custody of the children.

Ex is looking for an increase in CS. Will the judge grant it?
Q: Ex is looking for an increase in CS due to an "increase in living expenses" on her end. It's my understanding that only if my income increases more than 15% from the last order that a modification can be made. I've only had about a 7% increase. Will the judge order a new amount to be paid based on my current income?
What Can I Do To Protect Myself From This Situation?
Q: My soon to be ex wife filed for order of protection in Nov 2014 and I honored that order. She kept her address and phone number of her residence and workplace confidential and never disclosed where she is working.

Is it better to consolidate order of protection, violation, child custody and divorce in supreme court?
Q: My soon to be ex wife filed frivolous order of protection in October 2014 in family court. Then she filed for child support, child custody and recently she filed for violation of order of protection. All this because she was very angry when I met with a car accident in Aug 2014 while driving her old 2004 Toyota car and totaled it. She was asking me to pay her $ 20,000 for her old car but because of reckless driving case on me I had to engage a good lawyer and all charges against me were later on dismissed. She told me that she will not let me survive if I do not pay her the money and then filed so many cases against me and threw me out of her apartment for which I was paying the rent. She also filed a civil case on me in Supreme court for $ 20,000 for her old car.
