When it Makes Sense to Modify Alimony Payments
When it Makes Sense to Modify Alimony Payments (July 10, 2012)
- Q. My out of state ex has ignored court order to pay $80k in child support arrears. How can I get Judge to charge a felony
- A: Thank you for your question. Regarding your concerns, there are remedies available to you in order to address your ex’s outstanding obligations. It likely will require you to file an application in Court to seek recourse for the actions in violation of prior orders. Based on the circumstances, there may be resources available to assist with the issue and it may need to be addressed in the event legal action is taken. Based on the circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.
- Q. Can you get custody of a child if the father has assaulted the mother but not the child in the state of New Jersey?
- A: Thank you for your question. In the event you believe you are a victim of domestic violence, I cannot stress the importance of contacting local law enforcement to ensure you address the issue and can obtain the appropriate protection. Regarding custody, it is unclear where the parties or the child are residing. Generally, issues surrounding custody will be addressed in the state where the child is residing. Based on the circumstances, it would be best to contact an experienced family law attorney to address your specific concerns.
- Q. I had a 3-month return date for a pro se motion I filed in family. I amended it once and need to again. Is that doable?
- A: Thank you for your question. What you can do is file a Reply Certification after the wife files her opposition to your motion. This way you can advise the court of her recent acts. The good thing about the Reply Certification is that the other party is not allowed to file a response to it. So hold off until she files her opposition and then file a reply. I hope this was helpful to you.
