If someone in the military got married online (it says state of Montana) how do they go about a divorce??:
My son is in the military and him and his girlfriend lived in different countries (he was in Germany and she was in school in Reno). He is going to be stationed in Hawaii and she does not want to go or be married. I am trying to help him find out how to go about this. They were married online (it says state of Montana). He is home on leave in Michigan and she is still in Reno.
Thank you
Ellen’s answer: If his home state on his LES is Michigan, he can file for divorce in Michigan. However, if they have children, the issues regarding the children can only be addressed where the children's home state is. Have your client contact my office, or another attorney here in Michigan about his options.
Will i go to jail?: I quit paying my child support because my kids mother moved back in with me. She went and told them to clear it. Now 5 months later i got a court summons. I guess i have to pay $800 in rearage i want to know if i go there will i go to jail?
Ellen’s answer: If the mother is receiving state aid, it is possible that she cannot waive (cancel) the child support. If she is not receiving state aid, you need to enter into an agreed upon order to waive the arrearage and future support, a call to the court (or the friend of the court) telling them to "clear it" is not enough. If you cannot figure out how to enter an agreed upon order on your own, you will have to file a motion to make the change.
Which county?: For a $500 cash only non payment on child support warrant. Do I have to go to the jail or can I go to the courthouse to pay the bond? If I have to go to the jail to pay it, does it have to be the same jail from the county where the warrant is from.
Ellen’s answer: I would suggest that you call the Friend of the Court in your county and discuss this matter with the referee assigned to your case. They are generally the location where the warrant originated from and can tell you where to pay and what else they require.
