Can I be deemed an unfit mother by allowing my children to sleepover my parents to so they have a full nights rest for school?: I work as an Electrician which calls for me to be up at 4am to be at jobsite that could be anywhere in the state of Connecticut from a start time anywhere between 6am to 7am. During the school week I let my children sleep at my parents so I am not waking them up and moving from from house to car and car to house. My daughters father because my son is from a previous relationship is telling me I am an unfit and dead beat mother.
Gregory’s answer: I agree with both counsel. Absent any potential non-compliance with existing court orders, the court is going to be guided by what is in the children’s best interests. Any number of factors could impact that analysis. You should consult with a local, experienced family lawyer to discuss your options and how to best address any motions or actions taken by the father.
Is there a statute of limitations for complete non-payment of alimony, parental alienation, withholding visitation, : Never paid even 1st payment of alimony, poisoned children against me, withheld visitation, non compliance if joint legal custody in any & all medical decisions( kept major surgery from me til after it was done, kept it from me that my child made multiple attempts at suicide, met with children's services & had his girlfriend attend in my place(telling case worker i had no involvement in children's life) after allowing case worker to actually think she was their biological mother(til my daughter slipped & revealed she was not her real mom). I could go on & on with all the horrible things he's done out of pure revenge.
Gregory’s answer: Generally speaking, no. There is no statute of limitations on the court enforcing its orders. However, the court will look at all the circumstances and will have to make a determination as to whether the violation of the order was willful or not. You should consult a local, experienced family law attorney to review all the facts and your existing orders to determine the best way to remedy the ongoing issues.
How do I get a fast divorce?: My husband and I are looking to get a divorce. We have no assets, so it should be quick. Neither of us wants to go spend a day at the court house trying to deal with this. Just something fast that we just sign papers and its done.
Gregory’s answer: Contact a family lawyer in your area that does mediation or non-adversarial divorce. You will save yourself a ton of time this way. You will be able to complete all the forms you need BEFORE you go to court. That will allow you to get in and out on your court day versus spending hours in the building. If you do not have the paperwork completed the judge will not divorce you.
