The answers here are incorrect. Under that laws of Alabama there is in fact a waiting period.

Under the laws of Alabama, once a Divorce is granted there is a 30 day interrlocatory period in which the divorce is "pending." After the 30 days has lapsed, the divorce will become "final" and that is when the 60 day period of no marriage will begin. If the divorce becomes "final" on May 23, 2010, he will have to wait 60 days from that date before he can remarry again.

The best interest of the child standard insures that the child’s "best interests" are taken care of. The...
You need to contact an attorney and discuss this issue with them. She is required to appear in court if told by the court to be present. Child support is based on two main factors, need and ability to pay. Without knowing much of the case its hard to give good advice, but you need to have an attorney handle this for you.
