What are the next steps to take after sending in the documentation to dispute money wrongly taken for child support?
Q: Last month, I posted a question pertaining to a situation my mother was going through with her husband's child support issues. She had a joint account with over $4,000 in there, and the Bronx collection unit took $105,000 out of it. The thing is, her husband has never deposited money since the account's been open in 06. This was the same year they got married, and its purpose was to house the checks they received as wedding gifts. She's been using this as her primary account and forgot that it was a joint account. After the money was taken out Jan 29th, Her husband received a letter/package containing documents about his child support. It also contained the MISTAKE OF FACT AND/OR EXEMPT MONEY CLAIM FORM. She filled out section 2 of that form, along with her pay stubs and bank statements for the last 60 days. The letter/package was dated 1/24/18, and it forms said we she 15 days to dispute the money withdrawn out of her account. She overnight everything 2/6/18, but have not heard anything since then. She can't call the child support hotline and ask because they're only interested in her husband. What are the next steps we should take?
Is there any way to stop the involuntary withholding of my wages for child support?
Q: Is there any way to stop the involuntary withholding of my wages? I would be more at ease paying my child support by check, money order or electronically as opposed to them automatically taking the money out of my wages themselves. It doesn't leave me with enough time to catch up on my other bills/expenses especially since right now I'm only receiving unemployment.

Q: 50-50 shared custody, equal joint legal and physical custody for both parents. Father earns more than the mother.

Q: My fiance was put on child support from his ex. He placed his current job down when he went to court and showed pay stubs. The case was adjourned and he received a temporary child support order. We just received the copy of the IWO form in the mail and it listed an old employer. Why would they list an old employer on the form. Where did they get this information from?

What happens if the court cannot find respondant for child support hearing?
Q: My ex did not show up to our first child support/paternity establishment hearing. We were both mailed "Notices to Appear". He told a mutual friend he didn't care. The judge said she is ordering him to be served and if he doesn't show up at the next court date then "next steps will be taken". The problem is, the address they have is not his. It's his best friend's mom's address. I'm not sure if the court has his current employer or not. I have zero contact with my ex. He's been evading any responsibilities for child support. What will happen if they can't serve him? If they do serve him then what will happen next if he doesn't show up?

Exclusive use and occupancy of marital home
Q: I have been married for 25 years. We have two minor children age 17 and 18. We live in New York where child support is until 21. I plan to file for divorce after my youngest graduates high school in a few months. He will be 18 a few months after that. Neither child has any disabilities and no college plans, this year anyway. Kids and spouse are aware we will be getting divorced. Kids say they will want to stay with their father (he has no rules what-so-ever). I have no say after age 18. Our home is paid off and we have other marital assets that I believe may equal the value of our home. We will have to get everything appraised. If about equal, I want to sell our other assets so one of us could buy the other one out of our home. My spouse wants to prolong the sale of our assets and live in the house as long as possible and said he will be asking for exclusive use and occupancy of the house until our youngest turns 21. My question is, is it likely that a judge would grant this request? I realize each case is unique, but just looking for the likely-hood of this happening. I will be paying support, so would have a very difficult time paying rent, utilities and everything else.
Can I vacate my divorce settlement agreement?
Q: Shortly after inquest, and before final judgement was signed in my divorce, I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness requiring continued medical treatment and monitoring for the rest of my life. I cannot work, and I will have to go on welfare soon as I don't see what else I can do. Can I vacate my settlement agreement where I signed away rights to maintenance, since the divorce has not yet been finalized? I have been a stay at home mom for over 15 years and am 60 years old. My husband owns 2 restaurants, and intimidated me into signing away my rights to maintenance, all retirement accounts, and to give him any cash I had saved in order to allow me to stay in the marital home. He refused to allow an appraiser, so I ended up paying over market value because I had nowhere else to go and no income. I gave up everything because I was so tired of his bullying and threats that I was getting anxiety and insomnia and losing my hair so I wanted it all over with. I see now it was stupid but didn't know what else to do. This home was originally given to me upon marriage by my parents and is the only thing I have now. Do I have any possibility of vacating the agreement? Thank you.

Can a father (ncp) try for primary custody if he doesn't have the means for it?
Q: My friend has an ex who wants to try to get primary custody. The child is almost 4 years old and has always lived with the mother. The ex doesnt make as much money as the mother, he is always broke, and has no bedroom or things for the child. He also wants to pull the child out of her preschool so that he doesn't need to pay the tution. He lives in the bronx and the mother lives in queens. He lives with his gf and their new baby. But she is the breadwinner. He was just placed on child support and it was more then he expected. He wants to try to get primary custody so as to get off of child support. Would he be able to get primary custody if the mother is a good mom and the child lives in a good area, in a nice apartment and has her own bedroom and things. The child is attached to both parents. If he can't get primary and he tries for joint, If he gets granted 50-50 physical custody would he still have to pay full child support to the mother in New York State?

How is income calculated if you are a stay at home dad to a toddler?
Q: My fiance works 12 hours a week at a temp job early morning. He then comes home and watches our 1 year old. He has a 4 year old with his ex and has not been giving her money since he barely has income at the moment. She took him to child support court and he told the magistrate that he worked 12 hours at a temp job and since it is a temp job they pay well but do not have full time hours. They pay 18 an hr which is hard to come by in his field. The usual would be about 14 for full time positions. He also told the magistrate that he stays home with our 1 year old since I work full time and make the majority of the money. She then told him that he is capable of working 35 hours a week and calculated a temporary order based at 35 when he works 12 hours. This would be literally his whole check per week. Plus how is he supposed to work if he stays home with our baby. The case was adjourned till April where they will then calculate health insurance and preschool tution. What can be done? This isn't fair if the little money he makes go all to his ex and then I need to pay all of our expenses. The magistrate is basing child support off of money that doesn't actually exist.

Can I get the custody order modified?
Q: My ex-husband has custody of our 4-year-old son. However, since the order went into effect December 9th, 2017, he works two jobs and has no real time with our son. Our son is either with his girlfriend, other family members or in school. I get three weekends out of the month for visits, every Thursday 8pm to Sunday 2pm I want joint custody or sole custody, if possible, whereas he could legally physically live with me and his two sisters and my ex would actually have more time with him if we just gave him those three weekends a month but starting from Friday to Sunday due to school scheduling and such. We communicate failry well, well enough at least but he isnt being cooperative regarding information about our son and it's a bit childish. He misses his sisters, my daughters, and it would be in his best interest to be with them and to be taken care of by his parent and not pawned off on others. Is this real sufficient? Also, I've recently gotten into a 3 bedroom apartment via voucher, I'm on public assistance and I'm in school full-time during the day and I'm out before they get out of school.

What are the chances I will be granted sole custody of my son?
Q: His father has not been active in his life, my son will be a year old soon. I finally got his father to agree to a visitation schedule we created outside of court but he constantly no shows or cancels at the last minute. All of our communication is kept via text due to his verbally and emotionally abuse behavior. He refuses to check on his son at all, even through text. He does send money monthly, but he is just not a present factor in our sons life. He has a child from a previous relationship with an ex that is very volatile and they tend to include the 5 yr old in their arguments. He doesn't understand the damage it is causing the child and tends to blame me still for our relationship ending after almost a year. I'm wondering what my chances are in receiving sole physical and legal custody. I would be willing to allow supervised visitations. Would the emotional and physical abuse play a part in the outcome as well?
