Legal Answers
- Q. Should my disabled daughter's SSI be included in income for FL-150 in California?
- A: You include that "income" on the FL150. You have to disclose it. When a minor child receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), some of the child's income and resources can be "deemed" available to their parents, affecting the parents' own income and benefit eligibility, even though the parents' income is not considered income for the child.
- Q. Seeking legal advice for alimony after 6-year marriage, no children, retired, supported by spouse.
- A: Not sure what you mean by "how to proceed". If you want alimony, click the box for "spousal support" on your Petition (or Response), then concurrently with filing your Petition (or Response), file a Request for Order to get temporary spousal support orders in place while your divorce case is pending.
- Q. What forms are needed to file an initial custody case?
- A: It depends. Are you married to the other parent? If not, you initiate a "parentage" action or a Petition for Custody. If you are married and you want custody orders, why not file for divorce or legal separation. In any case, the steps to take are listed on the court's website at the "self help" link. OR, you can hire an attorney.
