- Q. Wife’s mother is legal guardian of child. If husband files for divorce do he need to declare that a child is involved?
- A: Child support is determined based on the best interest of the child. If the grandmother is the legal guardian or a conservator of the child, then there should already be an order affecting the parent child relationship. This order may include an order regarding child support. The divorce may or may not result in a modification to that existing order, including the child support. However, it is unlikely that support would be back-dated 7 years if that did not occur when the court issued the existing order giving grandmother guardianship or conservatorship.
- Q. If I have children from another man can I still file with divorce with no children forms?
- A: The short answer is maybe. Is the other man legally the father because they were born during your marriage to him or is there already an order affecting the parent-child relationship with that other man? If you want to file for divorce pro se (without a lawyer), you can try calling or emailing the court clerk for the jurisdiction you are in. Different courts may have different forms and the clerk may be able to point you in the right direction. Alternatively, you may be able to hire a lawyer for a limited scope of representation and you would just pay them to get the right paperwork filed for your situation.
- Q. If I got a letter from the attorney general telling me I had to go to court how do I reschedule?
- A: There should be a phone number of who to call on the citation. If you have not missed your court date yet, you can call the attorney general's office or the court clerk and ask if you can get the date re-set. If you've already missed your court date your options may be limited depending on how long its been and whether you can prove that notice was deficient. You may be able to appeal or ask for a new trial on the basis that you did not receive notice. If you've missed the deadline to do either, you may be able to file a bill of review to ask the court to overturn the decision on the basis you did not get notice. You also may be able to start over and file a request to modify. ... Read More
