family law

I am separating from wife and I purchased a car with my wife under the conditions that I get rid of my van. She gave me her old car if I used my name to purchase a new car together. I was in an accident where the car was totaled, and since the car was in her name, she is keeping the settlement of $9500 plus the new car. She refuses to let me have the new car;nor, will she give me any of the settlement funds to use as a down payment for another new car. Do I have any rights to taking the new car? I can't buy another car because my name is on the new car and she won't refinance to take my name off. How can I proceed? I can take over the payments but she won't give me the car. I have to use a rental which is too expensive. I can't ride my bike to work because I limited time between two jobs. help...

Parenting Plan Issue needs Resolution

My ex and I filed for divorce in 1999 and visitation, etc. was laid out in the separation agreement. When I moved, he filled out a parenting plan in 2003, had me sign it and then had it filed in the courthouse. He did not sign it. Is it binding if it was just filed and not court ordered. Can I go back to the original separation agreement and let him file a motion for a real one? Help, lost and confused. He is trying to tell me that I am in contempt of court by not giving him advance notice of my move to town he lives in. By the way this parenting plan states that I was to inform the other parent in advance or within 4 weeks of the change. The 4 weeks was added at the end instead of the in advance, or so that is what I assume. Still, is it even binding, since it was only docketed and filed in the case file?

order after hearing

I submitted an Order After Hearing, as did opposing counsel, to the court. My order was signed and mailed to the parties. My order referred to an Aug. 06 hearing, opposing counsel referred to a clarification hearing of this hearing. Yesterday the opposing attorney misinformed the court about the status of the case and had a commissioner ,who didn't know the facts, sign her order even though she had received my signed order. It would seem my order would void hers. What do I do?

1 year old

This is a great site. Thanks for all your advice so far. I have lots of questions. I am preparing to go to mediation for 1 year old son. I prefer to keep the same schedule as the temp order which states every other weekend. Is there a standard visitation schedule in MD for babies? Would it be unreasonable to request the child only stay one overnight for Thanksgiving and Xmas and be returned the next day. I would prefer no extended visitation until the child is older. Also. Will I have to speak to or see my ex while in mediation? Should I bring my proposed schedule? Will I look bad if I dont agree to anything more than the standard EOW schedule

child custody

I have been divorced for 2yrs and recently found out that my exwife is having trouble with drugs. We have joint custody with her having primary custodial. She was recently turned into to the DFC by my oldest sons teacher (5yrs old) for suspicion of being under the influence of drugs or alchohol on a school field trip. What are my options or steps I need to take to ensure the safety of my children. Also she has had 7 wrecks in the last 16 months with no arrests but the fact of having that many wrecks leads me to believe she is probably under the influence of pills.
