- Q. My husband and I have been separated over 5 yrs our son is 19 and goes to college he only would give 100 a week in
- A: Support, both child and spousal, is dependent on your respective incomes. New York requires a non-custodian parent to pay child support until the child is 21 unless a child is independent. You need to speak to an attorney to determine your specific issues.
- Q. Can you file for a Uncontested divorce if you have a child under the age of 21 If you and the other party agree to divor
- A: You can file for an uncontested divorce but you need to file the proper paperwork with the appropriate language. Also, a simple notary is insufficient. The agreement has to have an acknowledgement. You should hire an attorney to do the proper paperwork.
- Q. I want to take my kid and visit our relatives on Christmas but my husband doesn’t let me ,we’re legally still married
- A: Accuse you of what? I assume there is no court order forbidding this. You are returning with the children. You are doing nothing "illegal" or "unethical". You are their parent. Unless your relatives are a danger to the children I see nothing wrong legally.
