When will the other party get served?: I filed all my motions with the court re: Modification of child custody and support. it has been about 5 weeks. How long does it generally take? What if they can't find the him at a residence? (he is in-between places) Can they serve him at his place of employment? And what can I expect after he is served, or not served?
Donna’s answer: Did you provide a good address on the summons? The process server will only serve at the address provided to him or her. Yes, your ex can be served at his place of employment but he will need to be personally served and not through substitute service. You should check with the process server you used.
How much is an uncontested divorce: I left my alcoholic husband back in 2009. He now is in prison in Texas. The youngest of our children is 16.
Donna’s answer: It depends if it is truly uncontested which means you both agree on how you two will settle your divorce. If your husband agrees and will sign the marital settlement agreement and parenting plan, most attorneys charge a flat or reduced rate as the case will settle with no litigation. The problem arises when you tell your attorney that it is uncontested but it turns into a contested matter and you end up paying for a contested case as most divorce attorneys charge by the hour. Good luck.
Husband arrested for 2 counts of felony battery, want to get no contact lifted also both parties want to drop charges we live fl: i want to drop the charges i made against my husband and my father does as well i know the state will pick it up but will my dropping the charges or not going to court help his case? what can i do to help him
Donna’s answer: You and your father should file a declination of prosecution with the state attorney's office so they know your position on moving forward with the case. Also, speak to your husband's criminal defense attorney on how to properly move forward in the criminal case if it is filed by the state. The attorney can explain subpoena powers of the court and your obligations moving forward.
