Should a uncontested divorce in California take almost 3 years?

My boyfriend filed for divorce almost 3 years ago and still has not gotten a court date for his divorce. Is this normal? He has paid his lawyer in full and even paid the court fees over a year ago, yet he never hears a word from his lawyer. How do you get a lawyer to do the job he was paid to do, and is there any recourse if the lawyer doesn’t take care of his divorce in a reasonable amount of time?

TN Divorce/Child Support for children born out of wedlock…?

Please do not judge me. I have had years of fighting a man for a divorce when he is way too hard to find and really don’t need anymore.

Here is the short version:

I married in November 2006 and husband decided to up and abandon me in March 2007 in Fort Bragg, NC after changing his mind about having children and wanted to party instead…Just never told me and up and poof disappeared and has remained unreachable for the past 3 years.

I have since then been fighting to get a divorce from him and when he wanted to come out of the woodworks he claimed he had divorced me…I and my lawyer both separately called his so called lawyer and the county clerk where he was to have filed and there has never been anything filed in his name or ssn…

So, I filed once again…Myself!!! We have contacted his lawyer as well as him and his family and all have remained unreachable once again. We have even sent out both the Marriage Dissolution Agreement and the Divorce papers both to his lawyer and to his last known address…The MDA still has not came back and supposedly his lawyer was to have him sign it a few weeks ago seeing as I never filed for alimony or anything; just a divorce. It still has never made it’s way back to my lawyer and my lawyer has decided to go and publish in the newspaper since this jerk off wants to remain unserved!!!

I finally decided to move on this year just like my husband has been with his gf for the past I would say 2 years now. I am now currently 3 months away from giving birth to my daughter. The father did the same thing my husband did so he will not be actively involved in my child’s life unless he pays support.

My Questions:
1. Seeing as how my husband has been unreachable and everything for a divorce for 3+ years now for a divorce…Am I to have to deal with him on the topic of child support too? or is there some way to deal with that matter without him being involved since his abandonment and my knowing of who the father is even though I will have a hard time contacting the father as well?

2. In TN, do you have to have the father there to sign the birth certificate when you name him?

3. In my situation, in TN, who do I name as the father on the birth certificate? The bio father whom I know is to be correct or my husband because of some stupid law? When my husband and I have not cohabitated together or even seen or talked to each other for over 3 years and he is unreachable as well as noncooperative in any situation here.

4. Who will the state go after for child support?

Please, Please, HELP!!!! Can you relocate your children after divorce?

Please help! I am a divorced lady with two children ages 5 and 8. I live in Missouri. My new husband and I would like to move to Az. We had a revised parenting plan made saying that we would be able to move to Az. if we cut our child support in half. Well my ex-husband agreed to this by signing the papers and having them notarized. The next week we received a receipt in the mail stating that the courts have received the papers, (we sent these papers to the court). We waited over a month, then called the circut court to find out what was going on, they said that the judge decided not to do anything, that it did not go on the docket. My question is; Does this mean that we can still move, to Az., does this mean that the exhusband still has to pay full child support, but we can still move? How binding are those notarized documents anyways in reguards to relocation with children after a divorce? Does it have to go before judge? How long does the father have to change his mind? -Concerned
This man does not want anything to do with the children, if he did I would love to stay here. He has never even asked where they go to shcool, I have begged him to please be apart of thier lives, but it is no use. There are much better schools for the children there, and this decistion was prayed about for 3 years, all 3 years I have tried to get the ex-husband to be apart of their lives.

My army husband asked for a divorce, am I entitled to alimony even with no children?

We have been married for 3 years and he tells me that I am not entitled to alimony since we have not been married for 10. All I want is help moving back home, finding a place and support till I find a job. Can I ask for temporary alimony for this?
