I have a divorce decree that requires my ex husband to pay $600 per month in child support. (Florida) This was based on him making $17 an hour and I was making $7. Fast forward to 2014 and he is making $25 after being demoted from making $28 an hour. I currently make $15.00 and have primary residential custody but he has her for about 30% of the time for overnights. He is now asking for a reduction in child support to $300 because of his demotion. I explained to him that I never requested an increase, nor did he in the last 8 years when his pay increased. He has assets such as a house and 3 cars. For 5 years, I paid between 5000-7000 a year in child care. That reduced to $600 a year for two years, and now I pay a bout $1200 a year.
Is his request likely to be granted? I don't think so but I would appreciate an opinion.
Court order
My boyfriend's ex (common law marriage) just told him he can't see their daughter (3 yrs. old) anymore. How long does it take--name removed--get a court order so he can get visitation? In the past, he has watched his daughter four or five days every week after work while his ex worked late and basically was her babysitter - she has even remarried. Now that he says he wants--name removed--go on at least a minimum visitation schedule, she's very angry because now it won't be according--name removed--her schedule. In fact, in the past, he has even watched her step daughter at the same time because he is such a nice guy, but is tired of being taken advantage of and wants some father's rights.
Three years ago, my father passed away. He had been married to a Chinese lady who passed away before him. Before she died, she put everything into a trust. When my dad died, the house he lived in was meant to go to a chinese niece. However, the lawyer involved has not been able to put the house in her name so she can sell it, as she is not a US citizen (she is here on visitors/student visa).
The house sat empty for a year, then it became a rental. In the meantime, my brother has been paying all the bills. It currently stands empty again.
The question is: Who legally owns the house? Do the three children have any right to the property if the niece cannot get it into her name? What should be done?
