Legal Answers
- Q. I want to sell my house but my ex wife does not want to. The title is under my name and the deed is in both our names.
- A: Handling this divorce on your own and not having the Court address what would happen with the residence, means that no, you cannot force your ex to do anything without taking them back to court. If it is not a part of the previous final judgment, then there is no order to force your spouse to agree to the sale of the home.
- Q. Can my soon to be ex husband give up his rights without there being someone else to b take them?
- A: Voluntarily terminating your parental rights does not relieve you of the obligation to pay child support. If the child were legally adopted then the father's obligations would sever. But that's the only way to avoid paying child support is legal adoption by another party.
- Q. How do i fill out the papers for a child support modification
- A: Hire an attorney. It appears you didn't have an attorney the last time, which is part of the problem. Because there are steps an attorney can take to obtain the property documents to discovery the non-custodial parents actual income. It is best to hire an attorney who can draft the proper paperwork to impress upon the Court why you qualify for a modification and any other relief you are seeking.
