My husband is still paying child support and his 16yo son has been living here with us for the last 6 months. He has tried and tried to get a hold of DHS and lawyers in INdianola Iowa and they will not drop it. he has signed papers and faxed them to DHS like he was told and they still wont drop it. What now, we cannot afford a lawyer especially now since Coronavirus and he is laid off now from work.
If there is a case in Court concerning his child support obligation and he cannot afford to hire a lawyer, he has the option of filing a petition to modify child support for reason of the change in the child's residence representing himself. The Polk County Bar Association also has a Volunteer Lawyer Project. You could contact them and see if they can find a lawyer to take his case for free.
He’ll need a court order changing custody and support. Hiring an attorney is a good idea.
Perhaps he can contact Iowa Legal Aid for an attorney to help modify the child support order?
Threat By Landlord/Owner2
I entered into a 1 yr lese with my then best friend, and co-worker, who bought a condo that I was renting a room out of. Almost exactly 1 month before the lease was over, and 3 days before I was going to give my 30 day notice my friend(owner) literally busted my door down and verbally assaulted me. He called me all kinds of names and even threatened me with suggestive head nods(urging me to confront him). He was beligerently intoxicated, which witnesses can attest to, and keeps an un-registered firearm(shotgun) in the unit. I filed a complaint at the condos security office and moved out that night. I am now being sued in small claims for the last months rent and a late fee(~$900). I was served papers at work, and we still are co-workers. I believe I have a good case as the Plaintiff was in clear violation of my ''quiet enjoyment'' and therefore breached the lease himself. Please help. Thanks.
If you were evolve in a case and you went under the first offender program do you have to pay court coast in North Carolina
