- Q. Can my girlfriends ex husband prevent me from being around her kids during her time with the kids. ?
- A: Who has residential custody? There should be no restriction on who sees the children absent an order to the contrary as long as it is with the parent present. If there is a schedule of visitation and he denies it, you can file a violation petition. Your ex would have to demonstrate why you are not fit to be around the children. But this al;l hinges on the wording in the custody order. Talk to a lawyer.
- Q. Under what circumstances in New York can one file for a modification of child support?
- A: The law is 3 years OR 15%, not both. If there is a 15% increase in the non custodial parent's income, then you are entitled to an increase. Also, it depends on the wording of the last order. If the Magistrate recalculated the child support , then that is the starting date. But if the Magistrate left it alone and did not address it then the starting date (for the 3 years) is the last time it was calculated. You really should retain a lawyer as these things can be complicated.
- Q. My lawyer has been rude and also has not sent my divorce papers out. What can I do?
- A: First you said your husband sigbed papers. Were these a Stipulation of Settlement? There are many papers that have to be prepared and signed by the parties. Then you said you made changes and signed. Did you do so after your husband signed those papers? If so your husband needs to approve that and he should resign. Two weeks is a very short time for you to expect everything to be done. I think you may have an unrealistic expectation.
