I live in the state of michigan and i’m in the middle of a divorce. I’ve been granted temporary custody…my soon to be ex-husband gets visitations every two weeks but always cancels. I’m thinking about moving to a different state but i’m not sure how that whole process works or if it’s even possible. Can someone tell me how that works and if it could happen?

to forego unsupervised visitations until the babies are older?

I am willing to let him see the children daily if he’s not unsupervised. Everytime he has ever cared for the babies, even while I bathe, they have gotten physically hurt. He also leaves them dirty and exposes them to the cold, without coats or socks, he loses track of time and lets them stay up until 2 in the morning, he feeds them chilli all day and they get sick. If I ever let him watch after them, he behaves this way and finds it suitable. His parents are very trashy and taught him that this was acceptable childcare. He mocks the standards of a church nursery or the YMCA as being ridiculous.
I documented all of it beginning a year ago in preparation for divorce. I want uncontested.
Tell me some things I might offer him if he’ll agree to always visit them with supervision of another adult.
thank you
I want to tempt him, not legally force him. No child support until unsupervised visits are allowed is the best thing I’bve heard so far.
Remember, I’d like to go the uncontested route, for a plethora of reasons, so courts won’t be involved that way.
I want to get him to agree, sign, and we’ll just file togther. I’m willing to give in efforts to protect them.

A friend of mine recenty asked me about an uncontested divorce in Texas. My answer to her was that, "An uncontested divorce is one whereby both parties agreed with all issues, including the division of property, assets and liabilities, child custody, support, and visitations." In Texas, the uncontested divorc process can be accomplished after 60 days afer the filing date, which is much quicker than most states.

how many times can one appeal for full child custody in Virgiinia?
My ex girl friend has custody of the baby and I have non custodial rights.I have visitations every other weekend.I just appealed before the end of the 10 day period and want to know if my appeal doesn’t go my way the first time around how many times can I keep appealing? Is there a limit? I know this will cost me alot $ but for her as well.

My ex-wife and I live on opposite ends of the country. Sending the kids is expensive. When she doesnt pay her full child support the expense is impossible. She is now taking me to court for enforcement of visitation order which has a contemp of court attached to it. What are the possibilities that the judge will hand down? The court gave her 3 visitations for the year. 2 of the visits are to be shared cost 50/50, one visit is my full responsibility. She only asks once a year for the ticket thats my responsibility and never for the ticket that we share the cost on. She does not pay her child support and changes her job when the child support services find her.
Please no answers that I can not withold visitation for lack of child support, I know this. My question is what will happen to me if I am held in contempt of court?

My boyfriend is taking his ex to court on the 13th for visitations.. does anyone know how long it takes for the visitation order to go in effect? When will he be able to see his daughter after court? I live in illinois by the way

Children of divorce- no say in visitations schedules!!!?
The kids are 12 and 16!

I am apalled, shocked, and dumfounded that the overwhelming opinion of the ‘experts’, meaning state employees of the family services, court judges, and lawyers all agree that kids this age should have no say in visitation schedules! The words were – kids do as the parents say, and the parents do what the court says. This means they go to the house they are told, sleep where they are told, visit where they are told, including holiday and weekend schedules. We are not allowed to even discuss it… which is almost impossible since, of course, the kids alway tell me… I want stay here today, or I want to visit there.

Can someone explain this thinking of no child involvement, particularly for kids this age? Also, what is the opinion of kids this age? Also are there any adults who were children of divorce whom were raised "3 days here and four days there:?

Child services says kids "love two homes" and ‘knowing where they have to be". Doesn’t make sense to me! Seems like kids, especially at these ages, need some acknowledgement and inclusion in the discussions… and doesn’t living in two homes feel like always living out of a suitcase and having no real ‘home’?

Please enlighten me! Really, I’m perplexed.

How would a mother feel if during a nasty child custody battle she loses custody of her daughter? She latter finds out that the father takes very good care of his daughter and she likes living with her father. The father does not interfere with the relation ship she has with the mother, but gives the mother more visitations that the courts will make him. She is a very good mother.

I just want to know how it works in theory.

If the father lives in the USA and the mother lives in the UK (or pick any other two countries), how does child support work? Which court do they go to? The one in the USA or the one in the UK? Whose legal system makes sure that payments are made? How do visitations work if they live so far away? Does the court force one of them to move?

My nephew and his mother live in NC. My brother currently doesn’t get to see his child because he owes back child support & the mother won’t let him. My parents live in NY and were wondering if and how they could get visitation rights to their grandchild. They basically only see him twice a year and that’s when the mother is getting along with my brother. How could they go about getting visitations a couple of times a year if they live in different states? Any information would be helpful. Thanks!
