- Q. I checked ecourts in NY for my divorce status and it says NOI filed 5/28/21 and NOI due 5/28/22? Meaning?
- A: "NOI" means Note of Issue - meaning you needed to have filed one & paid the fee when presenting your judgment package. To follow-up, you can call the Matrimonial Clerk's office. You may also call a Bronx Divorce Attorney for more info.
- Q. When do child support areers start? I hear they start from the day the mother files? Or is it after an order put in?
- A: By statute, child support is retroactive to the filing date of her petition. If the court ends up giving you shared custody, then you can subsequently petition for a modification of child support. Schedule a consult with a Bronx Family Law attorney for a full assessment.
- Q. Can you tell me what can be done?
- A: It's advisable in this instance to start keeping a paper-trail. For starters, you can tape-record conversations you're a party to, whether over the phone or in-person. You should also propose using an App such as "Our family Wizard" or "Talking Parents" to not only facilitate communication but also to help keep a better paper-trail. If things don't improve, then consider filing a modification petition. Schedule a consult with a Bronx family Law attorney for a full assessment.
