WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE TRIES TO RECONCILE WITH MY SPOUSE AFTER FILING FOR DIVORCE?

Should this happen, there are basically have two options on how to proceed. Since most judges like to keep divorces moving through the system and wrap things up as soon as possible, that individual will need to take some action to allow some time to attempt reconciliation. First, you could ask the judge to be placed on the reconciliation list, which basically means you case is put on the inactive list for up to six months while the parties attempt to reconcile. The parties could also withdraw their petitions and counter-petitions for dissoluation of marriage. The difference between these two, is if the petitions are withdrawn, you will have to refile everything and repay the fees should you want to proceed with the divorce, while you can pick up where you left off if you chose to be put on the reconciliation list.

HOW DOES AN INDIVIDUAL PAY DOWN AN ARREARAGE IN CHILD SUPPORT?

If an individual is unable or refuses to pay child support as ordered by the court, an arrearage will exist. Unfortunately, many individuals find themselves in this position, so it is important to know that if you are entitled to support, you will have to complete the appropriate forms in order for the delinquent party to pay down their arrearage. This typically happens when the paying parent becomes unemployed, and therefore does not have the assets to stay current on support payments. When that individual does secure employment again, you must not only enter a withholding order so that the current statutory payments will be made, but the paying parent will also be required to pay an additional amount every month in order to reduce the arrearge, which will be included in a court order. In order to ensure this is setup correctly, contact one of our divorce lawyers so we can assist you.

HOW DO I GET MY CHILD SUPPORT TAKEN OUT OF MY SPOUSE'S CHECK?

Generally, you can have your child support taken directly out of your spouse's check in order to ensure you receive the correct amount on time. This is done by completing a withholding order, filing it with the county, and then submitting it to your spouse's employer. When this is done, child support will be taken directly out of the paycheck, just like taxes, and sent to you. Be aware that in some situations this may not be possible because of self-employment, unemployment, and various other obstacles that may arise. If you are having trouble collecting the child support you are owed, please contact our family law attorney to schedule a free consultation.
