Last year i filed for a divorce an called it off bc he wouldn't give me any money

I don't know what state you live in, but can suggest the following: You should contact an attorney in the state in which you live. The courts have the ability, once you file for divorce, to enter orders that will require your husband to continue to support the household as he has been doingl in other words, to pay the bills and give you money for your expenses, whether you are living in the same house or living apart. If you have children, the court can order him to pay child support if you...

Am I entittle to my ex-husbands pension plan? Do I need a lawyer.

You don't say what state your divorce took place in. I can only tell you what applies in Michigan. In order for you to receive a portion of your husband's pension, there would have had to have been a provision in your divorce judgment identifying the pension and what portion you are entitled to. I recommend that you consult an attorney in the state in which you obtained your divorce to find out whether you can now get a portion of your ex-husband's pension.

Ex-wife is refusing to drive kids to the airport

I would suggest you let the children leave from LAX. The important issue is that your husband have his time with his children. If she is choosing a flight at 7 p.m., from LAX, they will be on the "red eye" How old are the children? Will it be too difficult for them to take a "red eye" If she is planning on the children leaving Michigan at 7p.m. then it should not be an issue. Keep in mind that the airport they leave from is not as important as just getting them to Michigan.

How do you get the court to acknowledge a motion that was filed a couple of years ago and was not heard. There have been other

You should file a new motion. If that one was never acted on it may not have ever been properly filed or scheduled. File the motion according to the procedure in the county in which the case took place. If you are not sure how to go about filing the motion you should consult an attorney.

Just received divorce papers not sure what to do

Assuming the divorce was filed in Missouri, you should contact an attorney in Missouri so you can find out what the process and procedure is in a divorce in that state. You should also ask the attorney to review the paperwork you were served with and give you advice as to how you should proceed. If you do nothing you are taking a risk that you will not receive your fair share of your marital property. You definitly need to contact an attorney in the state in which the divorce was filed.

Will I pay alimony/support if my spouse (has conditional green card) returns to her home country, and does not return to the US?

If the child is your child, even if not a dependent of yours, then you are obligated to pay child support. If the child is not your child, you do not have to pay child support. Without knowing what your affidavit of support requires you to do and whether it is a court order signed by a judge, I cannot tell you if you will have to provide alimony or any other type of support. If the affidavit is an order of a court, you are required to abide by it. In a marriage of 20 months, alimony, in...

Divorce lawyers and contact from other spouse

If you wife contacted a number of attorneys and asked questions or for advice, or asked what their fees were, that attorney cannot represent you precsely because he/she has given your wife advce and/or information. I would believe that there are more than 20 family law attorneys in your community or at least in your county. You also may want to contact attorneys out of your county who may practice in your county.
