My husband and I are separated. Two months after the separation, he filed for divorce. According to the separation agreement, my husband had to pay the car off by May 1, 2011, and transfer the title to me. He still has not done this. I will get a 155.00 decrease in my homeowners if I use Allstate for both car insurance and homeowner’s insurance. What can I do? Can I request money from him for the late payment?

Hello My wife and I are going to file for divorce, and I’m worried it will turn into a long legal battle. If I open an irrevocable trust fund in the name of my children before the filing, and I do that with 50% of all of the cash we have now, could the court (in NY) then say that the money put into the trust was my half, and then my spouse would get all of the remaining cash? Or would the remaining money be split in half between us? Thanks!

My son is going through a divorce. It has been going on for about 2 to 4 years. She threw him out of the house twice. The first time I, as his mother, had to fly in to help him find him an apartment and buy him furniture so he can live. He has an excellent job, but she wiped him out of whatever they had. The first time he was thrown out, he had a lawsuit going. He received the settlement. She decided to take him back and try to make the marriage work. After the money was gone, she then threw him out again with no money. Mother came to the rescue again and got an apartment for him and paid for everything. He owes me that money, which is quite a bit. Now it was time to get a divorce lawyer and told them what happened. They proceeded to tell me that this was an easy case since they had no house or any money to fight over. He has two children, one is 21, and the other is 19. He does pay child support. He also pays for her auto insurance, which the car is in his name. She did have a job, and my son was paying for her tolls in which she was getting reimbursed for it from her company. She hired a lawyer, and they went through 3 depositions, and I don’t know why, because there was nothing to fight over. Now, this is costing me more money because he can’t afford to pay for his lawyer. Now in April, they are going before a Judge (mediator). Her lawyer wants to go to court what for I don’t know why. Why can’t this be settled in April before the mediator? When they first went to court, the Judge said, what are we here for. She has nothing, and he has nothing. But nothing was done. I had to pay his rent several times plus I have to send him money for food. So could you tell me What Kind of Laws do we have that this has to go on and on? Please advise because I cannot keep paying all this money. Thank you. I do have so much to say, but hopefully, I gave enough information.

My husband and I have been married for seven months and are already discussing divorce. We should not be married to each other. My question is, His parents offered to help us by paying for the wedding or by getting us into a house. We opted for the house, and it was purchased. The mortgage is in his parents’ name as well as his. I was led to believe that my name would be added to the deed once we were married, but it has not been added. I changed my mind about having children(don’t want to), and that is why we are discussing the idea. I have contributed to half of the financial responsibility, but I am not on the deed. Should I stop contributing? The insurance policy, however, lists me as a primary insured. I have been contributing half of the payments to the mortgage, even though my name is not on the deed. I am wondering if I have any entitlement to the property. We have made improvements to the house during our engagement and were led to believe that the house down payment was a “wedding gift”. Who gives a gift to just the groom? Anyway, the house has increased in value. If we sell, am I entitled to the money at all, only the increased value, or to all of it or none of it?

Hi, I recently have relocated from Lexington Kentucky to West Harrison, New York, due to my husband’s job. My husband is verbally abusive, and I see how this is affecting our three daughters. We’ve only been in New York for two months, and my question is if I wanted to move back to Lexington with my children, do I have that right, or is there some type of legal procedure I need to go through or to get his consent?

I am living in New York City (Brooklyn). I need to know my rights for a legal separation. I would need to move out of the home I am currently sharing with my husband and two daughters, 2 and 7 yrs. I would like to take my daughters with me and the furniture I acquired before I was married or had children. I am also contemplating relocating to another State with the kids, but I do not know the laws of separation in New York. Also, I am concern that due to my earnings being more than my spouse, will I be responsible for paying support to my husband. If I later file for divorce will he be entitled to any assets I acquire after the separation (i.e., 401k, savings, etc.)

I currently live in NYC. My ex-husband lives four blocks away. Now I am in the process of closing on a house, and of course, it’s in a better area and school for the kids compared to NYC. It is a bit far north about an hour away from NYC but still in NY. I have no intention of stopping visitation, but my ex has claimed that I can not move away. We have Joint Legal Custody with me having physical custody. He hasn’t even paid child support in a long time he owes me, according to the SCU, thousands, and despite that, I still am very friendly with him. Can he attempt to stop me?

My husband’s ex-wife wants to move out of state with his daughter. His son lives with us, but he still pays child support for both. If she takes his daughter to Florida, can he renegotiate child support for one child based on the FL calculations of support? She wants to put the child in a private school and wants him to pay when she can stay here and go to a great public school with us. Can she do this?
