Hello, I'm asking this question on behalf of my girlfriend who has been in an ongoing divorce case for a year now.I will try to make this long story short and hopefully someone can give me some good info. My GF has her 2 kids living with her in Indiana, the kids father live in North Carolina, Her final hearing is coming within a month and she has learned that her husband has recently obtained the services of an attorney. So naturally she is scared that he will try to take the children from her(ages 10 and 13). One of the chilldren is having a bit of a rough time in school and my GF is afraid the husband can try to say its the mothers fault. Basically my question is, does my GF have anything to worry about when it comes to losing her children? She is a very fit mother and works a full time job as a medical assistant. She says her husband was abusive when she left and also he can be very manipulative and convincing in a courtroom. He to is a med. ass. but travels often and the children would have to be raised by someone else if they lived with him. Any input would be greatly appreciated by me and may help her peace of mind as she is stressing about this. Also the husband has recently started buying the kids things and she thinks its to try and "buy their vote" so to speak. Thx for any help

It would be best if your g/f registered here herself. She will have information that you don't have. Thanks.

0$ child support possible?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I live in Indiana and me and my wife are just a few days away from our provisional hearing. We both agree on everything and we want to share the same amount of time with our 3 children. My question is... is it possible for neither of us to pay child support which is the way we both want it. Neither of us have lawyers I simply filled out the correct paperwork online, printed it, we both signed it and then paid 136$ to file. Also I stated that both of us would have legal and primary custody, is this possible? Thx
So. Mom moved her minor children in with a "man" that is legally married. She is STILL legally married to her HUSBAND. Sweet.
Yeah. "Mom" should be concerned.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I believe Dad might be trying to use the "Mom is living with/dating another married guy and this is causing our child so much stress that s/he is having problems at school" angle.

Also, at 13 and 10 their wishes MAY carry some weight in court, depending on their maturity.

So yes. Mom may have something to be concerned about. How much should she worry?

Well, she should worry enough to get her butt online and ask her own questions ;)

This is a Free forum and I guess you get what you pay for huh. Thanks alot
I thought I asked quite nicely. There are reasons why it is helpful to have the actual party asking questions. Too bad your g/f isn't interested enough in her kids to do so.

Not to mention devilleather's own 3 kids being there 50% of the time. No idea of their ages, genders, and how that may add to the stability (or lack thereof) for the 13 and 10 year old.

Oh, absolutely!

(Well..that does assume they're all living together. I'm not sure if that's actually been stated in either thread, but that aside I agree with you 101%)
