Answer by lucidwillow
I'm not a lawyer but I am certain you would have to prove your ex to be perversely unfit to win a case such as this. You have been divorced for 15 yrs and now you could per sue guardianship over your daughter the judge would wonder why now. I am sure you could find a lawyer to take the case but it could cost as little as 8,000 and go up from there.

Q&A: If I give my father my power of attorney, can he appear as me in court?

Question by Lani: If I give my father my power of attorney, can he appear as me in court? I have been having an ongoing issue with my ex-husband in collecting money for our children's college education. He agreed to pay half and it is documented in our divorce decree. We have been to court 3 times in the last 2 years and each time he has agreed to pay a certain amount. He and his lawyer have been provided with the account numbers for each child and I told them to email me and I would set up an authorized payee account so he could pay online directly. To date not a penny has been paid. The court is located in Springfield, Ohio and I now live in Orlando, Florida. Every time I have to go back to court to fight this, it requires me to fly back to Ohio, burn vacation time, and then nothing happens. If I sign a Power of Attorney over to my father, can he go in my place to these court proceedings? My lawyer retired last week and I really don't have the extra money to hire a new one at this point so I am basically representing myself pro se. All I want at this point is a wage garnishment to be paid directly to the student loans, or if that isn't possible, directly to me to distribute to the loans myself. I would have it go to the girls, but a wage garnishment, to my knowledge, cannot be split. Any advice would be appreciated. Best answer:

Answer by Sans Deity
No, power of attorney is for giving someone the ability to act as you when it comes to medical or financial decisions, not court proceedings. The only way your father could act in this manner would be if you were physically incapacitated, like being in a coma or something.

I Lost my Job After my Wife and I Split - Do I Still Owe Child Support? FL Attorney Steven Kramer

www.orlandodivorcehelp.com Florida family law and divorce attorney Steve Kramer discusses owing child support even if you've lost your job. This is a common issue and it's important to know all the aspects of child support. If you lost your job, you're still required to pay child support. The courts deem that unless you have a disability, you are capable of making an income which means you're capable of paying child support. The court may decide to impute income to you, which is generally minimum wage. But you can be made to change your support if it can be proven that you're capable of earning more money.

Q&A: Where do I file a motion for a stay of court proceedings in florida?

Question by irina p: Where do I file a motion for a stay of court proceedings in florida? It's about my mother's divorce proceedings. Her husband tried to divorce her quickly while she was in the hospital but she found out and demanded a court hearing because her husband took off with all her belongings and leaving her a huge debt. So, they had a mediation hearing and it was agreed betweenthem that he would pay her back in alimony. Well, when she rreceivedpapers from mediator to sign it stated that she was the one who was going to pay him an alimony. Mediator said it was a mistake. However, after they fixed an error husband refused to sign it. Well, in the meantime, my mom found out that he recently got married with another woman so it explained why did he wanted to get divorce with my mom so urgently. Mom just filed a motion for a stay on court proceedings based on her discovery of him being a bigamist. The Judicial Assistant returned her motion stating that she filed it wrong. Mom doesn't have an attorney neither does her husband. She needs help. Any suggestions what to do? Husband filed in Florida but we are in PA. Thanks. Best answer:

Answer by raichasays
Husband filed in Florida and that is the court handling the mediation procedures? If so, your mother has apparently consented to jurisdiction in Florida by participating so far. Any further action on the case happens there. But why does she want a motion for a stay of proceedings? To file for a stay, she has to have a good reason. Finding out that he is a bigamist is good evidence to get divorced, not to stop it. Seems to me she would want to resolve this and be divorced from this jerk. In my opinion, she figure out exactly what she wants from him (property, alimony, etc.) and file the paperwork in Florida to get a hearing to decide that.

Answer by Maxi
Why are you allowing visitation and contact if you know he is a pervert? Why would you need to get an attorney, unless you have been court ordered to allow visitation...refuse access and let him get the attorney and fight for visitation, then insist on supervised access only...but have your proof why you want it......and change your child's sim card
