Legal Answers
31 Questions Answered
Q. If I filed for divorce but none of the paperwork was turned in. how long do i have to turn it in?
A: There are some things missing from this question. When you filed your case, you should have received a case number from the clerk of court. If you filed in December and have not taken action, you are probably going to have to refile the case.
Q. Is there such a thing of abuse of primary authority of decision making of minor children?
A: It may not be abuse, but it certainly is a basis for you to seek a modification of your financial responsibility. Given the facts that you have presented here, I believe a judge would not hold you responsible for 50% Or any other amount if you file a timely motion. You might also consider filing a motion for a GAAL to help the court determine what is truly in the best interest of your child given that your child does not want these new braces.
Q. Can dad give custody back to mom without paying for a lawyer or going to court?
A: Parties can agree to modify parenting time without a court order. Parties cannot modify child support orders without a judge signing an order. If the goal is to modify parenting time, the parties can agree and they should put any agreement in writing.

If the child lived with mom, dad would likely owe child support.
