cohabitation definition

My friend's ex-husband plans to lend her money to buy a house. He is very generously charging her only 1% interest.

Is there a length of time that establishes cohabitation?

automatic court order

My husband served me the divorce paper unexpectedly. I have been separated from him (no legal separation) for a year. I have put a deposit for buying a one bedroom to live in and have signed the contract. If I back off I will lose my $25,000 deposit. My feeling is as I have signed the contract I have to go ahead. Am I going to be incontempt of court?

Divorce

I recently went through a divorce and I didn't have a lawyer and my exhusband did but I feel as if the divorce wasn't handle the way it should had been , first of all I couldn't afford a lawyer so I had to represent myself and I tried to get help from the legal assitance people but since my exhusband is miltary they told me his income was to high so they wouldn't help me me so I went into court alone and came out with alittle amount of child support no alimony and no rights to his pention , so the question I want to ask is there a way you can sue my exhusband and do you think I would have a good case I have alot more to say but I don't feel as if I was heard.

Child used to serve papers

My Ex had our 12 year old son serve me papers required by a judge in our divorce proceedings. Obviously the service is defective or void. My question - does the use of child in this way break any law or family code?

My Ex is under court order not to discuss court or adult matters with the children. He continues to do it anyway, but I haven't been successful in getting minor's counsel to do anything. How can I let the court know my ex is not following orders and harming the children by putting them in the middle?

HRS question in Fla?

The other evening, HRS showed up at my door at 10:30 PM because my stepson didn't do his required classwork and the teacher wanted to keep him after school. He started crying , saying he would get a whipping from his stepdad (Me) and that I broke a pattle across his rear end. This is of course is BS and the HRS agent found no signs of any abuse and left. My question is: Will there be a record of this incident on my file and if so, how may I remedy this situation? I have never had any legal troubles, hold a Top Secret clearance as I'm employed as a contract consultant to the Govt and am worried this could affect my job status?

support modification

My court case the other day went well..the judge told me that I needed to prove my daughter's income. I need to subpoena her place of employment for her pay records, (Duces Tecum)...unfortunately it was suggested that since I am in this ''Pro Se'', I should also subpoena her as well. Not something I am looking foward to doing. Partly because I am sure that my ex-wife will be caoching her for the hearing and the other is that her boss at work is her step-father! How should I go about serving the subpoena to him and expect that he will not ''Fudge'' the records. Even at the payscale that my ex-wife testified to in court for my daughter, the judge stated that she was above the cusp of the support reserve numbers. What should I watch out for? (She did not present with a counsel at the last hearing and will probably not at the next one)

child visitation

My grand child is 3 years old( living in Georgia). What is the criteria for long overnight visits with her father who is living out of state ( he moved to Pennsyvania) and has not visited or called her regularly since the divorce ( when she was 1 1/2 years old)? Also; he is a truck driver and has said it is OK to take her for 2 weeks while he is driving the truck. My daughter really wants him to have visitation but feels the child is too young for that and also long term visits. He does not seem to understand that she needs to get used to him for short visits over time. He is also very irregular with child support but we know this is a separate issue from visitation.
