- Q. hello. I've got some questions about spousal support or maintenance before divorce.
- A: You can petition for spousal support in Family Court without a divorce but they have no jurisdiction over the bank account or anything else. You can file for divorce yourself, but then you need to do a motion for immediate relief (pendente lite). Contact an attorney.
- Q. I have an on going stipulation for separation for 3 years. We haven’t settled yet . Within that time my ex had a 10%
- A: Not sure what you mean by "on going stipulation for separation". Has the stipulation been signed? Is there litigation "on going"? If there is a signed separation agreement, you can go into court and ask for a modification. Whether you get it or not will depend on several factors. If there is an current case pending in court, you can make a motion. You need to talk to a lawyer about your specific circumstances.
- Q. Can you get your case set up to pay your 19 year old directly for support?
- A: The only way to terminate the support to the custodial parent is to have the child declared emancipated, which is a high bar. You need to show that he is self supporting. If he is still living with the custodial parent, and is not making enough full time to support himself, he will not be declared emancipated.
