Money that is given to a person on a regular basis from family is considered income in California. You will want to point out all of the living expenses that are being paid for him and their value. There is also a law that basically says the underprivileged parent can seek to have the well-off parent pay their attorney's fees to "level the playing field" in court, so it is possible that you could find an attorney who will work with you and seek attorneys fees from the other party....

You will only have to pay more if your former spouse files for a modification of support. If that happens the increased support will be effective the first of the month that follows the date she files (if she files 6/17 then support would be increased starting 7/1). You are not obligated to change your own support based on increased earnings. The above is not legal advice nor does it establish an attorney-client relationship with the person posting the question or any person reading the...

Yes and easily. So long as the husband never adopted your child through a stepparent adoption, he has no legal right to see your child. You should meet with an attorney as soon as possible to determine whether your exhusband has any rights to visitation right now, despite what is written in the Court Order.

With a permanent DVO you effectively have sole legal custody for the term of the Order. In California, a DVO cannot give custodial rights, rather it is interpreted in accordance with the current custody order. If the other party has visitation currently, that party could petition the court for custody and or visitation which (for the purposes of days and times of custody visitation) could change what is currently allowed by the DVO. The fact that a DVO exists will be considered by the...

Your case would be a "sort of" default -- it's called "uncontested" dissolution. That's the box you'll check to characterize what kind of divorce it is. You will need to write up a marital settlement agreement (MSA) (or better yet, go see an attorney or family law mediator who does this professionally and will consider areas you might not have thought about -- you can share that expense). Then after all of the declarations of disclosure, etc. are filed, the non-responding party signs the MSC...

The DVO you have is not a custody order -- courts are often very much against them being viewed that way. The stipulation you have, however, is a Court Order. In order to get a change in custody in California, the moving party (dad) needs to show a significant change in circumstances. A responding party does well to point out to the Court that there has been no significant change that would allow the Court to consider the change in custody. It is unlikely that he will testify that he...

You can file an ex parte motion for temporary custody orders. Ex parte is an emergency hearing that doesn't require the extended notice required in a traditional hearing. The clerk at your courthouse can give you the paperwork to fill out. If your courthouse has a family law facilitator's office, they may be able to help you fill the paperwork out, give notice, etc. Stephanie White THE LAW OFFICE OF STEPHANIE WHITE Simi Valley, CA www.805Lawyer.com DISCLAIMER: The above is not...

If you are asking how you get the temporary restraining order off your "record" -- that should be accomplished when it is dissolved if the final order is denied. If you are asking how to get the request for a temporary order off the court record, it can't be done. If you are asking how to get a criminal charge removed when the civil restraining order was denied, you should seek the assistance of a criminal attorney.
