Q: I have shared custody with my ex, I am the custodial parent and the children live with me seeing their father every other weekend and one weeknight. Since he left 5 years ago he has been trying to get out of paying child support. I was able to get some back support paid and enforce current support. He has not asked to see the children any more and has always lived 20+ miles away.
He is now asking to have the kids 2-3 more nights a week which would make them commute 45 min to school and have to wake up before 6am. I believe he is trying to get out of support again and try to get it lowered. I'm not even getting the minimum support because after a short time of spousal support ended the court did not recalculate my support so I get around 16% for 2 kids. The children are 12 and over and not agreeable to the change. Was my divorce and custody agreement only temporary? Do I have any rights and would a judge force my kids to commute from a town in another county? I am in my right to have the child support modified at this time, it has been 3 years since final divorce and it was not recalculated after spousal support ended. Thank you.

What does it mean if my case goes to 9 in manhattan family court?
Q: what does it mean if my case goes to 9 in manhattan family court? I sent the judge an affidavit regarding the false harassment charges my ex husband placed against me. in my affidavit I responded that his attorney refused contact with me as prose, that his client had admittedly stalked me on a few occasions, and that my purpose for contacting my ex at work was in regards to his outstanding arrears payments that both he and his attorney refused to acknowledge or complete the maintenance payments to me. I am prepared to provide evidence if this was to go to trial. what does Part 9 conference mean?
There is no law that prevents me from publishing documents from my ex and his lawyer online, correct? and hash tagging them?
Q: i cannot currently contact my ex husband due to a false restraining order he filed (in Manhattan court claiming i'm violent because putnam county court is aware HE is the violent party who was arrested due to the bruising the police documented on me). He made various false statements about i'm contacting him for "extortion!" and he doesn't know why i ma contacting him. He and his lawyer for 6 months refuse to address that he's failed to pay me maintainence in full. I have the correspondence to both parties alerting them to his violation & their refusal to pay me. Since he knows this is not extortion, he lied in his filing to the judge in his restraining order! I cannot contact him directly, in any form,w (which i have not nor will i). my question is - there is no law that prevents me from publishing his restraining order petition on line, correct? There is no law that prevents me from publishing the letters from his lawyer stating he will not follow up on maintenance issues, correct? I want to post all this on social medias and hash tag her firm and my ex's name. this is all "factual evidence" as they state, so why can't i publish it and expose them for their mis truths.

What is the best option to reinstate my expired 2017 NYS Drivers License due to Child Support Arrears?
Q: I currently have $16,055.49 due to spotty employment and low paying jobs on and off since the Judgement in early 2000s. Since July 2017, I have obtained steady sufficient employment, I have been paying 750/month ($500 Judgement/$250 arrears) for 1 child from previous marriage. I have since remarried and had 2 other children. As a result of the arrears (or as they put it FAILURE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT), My NY State DL was suspended Issue Date: 2014-02-28 Reinstatement Date: 2016-06-14. It expired 9/14/1978. I have been told by CSE to fill out a net worth affidavit & DMV challenge. then wait 45 days for response. Is this my only course of action to get my License reinstated (despite expiration) or do I have other options?
How?
Q: My child support case is closed and I only owe arrears. Right now I'm paying $360 I month. How can I get my payments lowered? I just cant afford those kind of payments.
I relocated with my daughter after mutual agreement with her father. He then filed a petition to bring me back. Now what?
Q: Hello, I wanted to get a second opinion on my case. I was granted sole legal and physical custody of my daughter. Her father has visitation every Sunday. He announced to me he was moving out of state during the summer and so I also decided to move to a different state where I would have closer family. So I moved 3 weeks ago. Father of the child was in complete agreement and we had discussed how visitation would happen. The minute I left he filed a writ of habeas corpus claiming that I took the child out of state against his will and he requested I bring back the child. FYI He is out of status as far as his visa situation is concerned so he cannot have custody because he could get deported one day. So now the problem is that the judge wants me there with the child for a hearing that will take place a couple weeks from now and my attorney informed me that the judge also wants me to remain in NY until the case is resolved. Under what circumstances can I avoid staying in NY? Would having a job or going to school where I am now be a reason for the judge not to keep me in NY until a resolution? I am already settled here and can absolutely not stay in NY for more than a couple days.

I want to win back full custody or joint custody and now I don't have a lawyer, it is possible with what I wrote below?
Q: My ex won full custody of our son on Dec 6th. The judge denied my request to vacate the order albeit didnt give me any chance to redeem myself or present any new documents. I missed the court date due to medical reasons and was treated very unfairly because of it. Also, I lived in a shelter during the court process and it was used against me apparently by "not being situated" which shoudnt even be an issue, considering I take care of my 2 other children. Now, with visitation in order, I see my son from Thursday at 8pm to Sunday at 2pm. His father works two jobs now, not before the order was in place and doesn't have time to spend with our son. He states it in our emails to each other and always requests different times to pick up or drop off our son. I will be attending school in January however our son will spend actual time with me AND his siblings, my two daughters and I have no scheduling issues for drop off or pick up. My son spends half of the work/school week with me already and cries a lot about missing myself and his sisters. I feel it's in his best interest to live with me and his father could actually get more parenting time if I have him with me.
