What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida
Hello All,
The other day my husband called me from a co-workers cell and asked I talk to him because he had questions about his divorce. Now Im more familier with Texas law than FL but this is what he told me. His wife is non-working and moved out of the home. He is living in the home he built on thier 7 acres. He said his son is 2 1/2 and he gets him every weekend. His question to me was what do i have my lawyer ask her lawyer? I told him if he had a good lawyer they should know. I asked him what he felt she would contest him on. Right now he is giving her 1000.00 and paying her car ins and has medical ins on the family. I told him if he is going to give her any money make sure there is proof. He said his lawyer told him he didnt have to give her anything. I said yes but that shows you care about your son being taken care of and I told him that he shouldn't give her more than one weekley check which is 900 as he said he was going broke already.
He said he really wanted his 4 wheeler.Can he ask for his 4 wheeler? What all assests are divided and what have to be sold if any? Now I did some research and found out that CS guidelines in FL go by both parents income. Now it says after taking both incomes they come up with a minimun amount to be paid. So if he makes 900 a week and she makes 0 will they make him pay the minimum amount for an estimated 3600 monthly income. It said about 700 something.
Also they were married 7 years. Is FL an alimony state? I found out there are three types of alimony here.
Next I read that the paretning plan will be a plan both parents agree on. FL as I read does not have an SPO type order in effect. So if he already gets his son every weekend can he continue that with a weekley dinner schedule?
Please give me some feedback. I want to get back with him as he is very, very confused which is normal. I wanted to recheck my research so im dont give him wrong answers....THANK YOU..
