3 Mistakes People Make in Modifying Child Support
Friday, December 3, 2021
What To Do When You've Been Injured At Work
Your job is not just something you work hard at but something that is important to your livelihood. That’s why a workplace injury can be so devastating—missed time at work can mean missed paychecks and expensive medical bills.
Enter workers’ compensation. Designed (in many cases) to be the exclusive remedy for injuries that happen on the job, each state is different when it comes to filing claims and collecting these important benefits. The workers’ compensation system can sometimes be complicated with very specific procedural requirements before your claim will be accepted.
For that reason and many others, working with a workers’ compensation attorney can help make sure you get approved for these important benefits.

Termination Of Child Support
A parent can petition the family court to terminate child support obligations when the child is no longer eligible for such support. The parent must file what's usually called an "Affidavit for Termination of Child Support" or something similar. It is a standardized court form which usually allows the parent to simply check-the-box for the reason why the support is no longer needed -- such as the child reached the age of majority, got married, became emancipated, or in some cases simply became self-supporting, rendering payment of support to the other parent unnecessary.

Being Bullied Into a Divorce Settlement Agreement that Does not Benefit you Just to Keep Peace?
I encounter people who often give up things that they should be fighting for in their Family Law case. I'm often having to remind them that there is a difference between being manipulated and compromising.
If you're dealing with a grown man or woman who will throw a temper tantrum every time they don't get their way, there's not much room for discussion to compromise. Your not asking for certain things in your divorce because you feel that the other side will have an attitude problem, will only leave you in a position that is detrimental to you.
The dangers of giving in to a manipulator or someone who bullies through their bad attitude is that they convince you that if you give in to one thing that there will be peace. It never stops at one thing, there's always something that the manipulator is angry about. If you continue to give in, you'll find yourself making decisions detrimental to your position.
There will rarely be peace when you give in to a manipulator. The problem is, you know this, but you continue to lie to yourself.
When dealing with someone like this, let your Attorney handle the issues of what you are asking for out of the divorce or family law case. Leave the discussions to the Attorneys. Let your Spouse know that you feel more comfortable speaking through the Attorneys.
I'm all for spouses speaking to come to an agreement, but not when you're the one being manipulated and bullied.

In this video I offer you examples of questions that you will be asked at your hearing and I explain briefly how you should and should not answer these questions.
I also express my thoughts about how you and your lawyer can best prepare for your hearing and what constitutes an appropriate pre-hearing conference. In my opinion, a lawyer who meets his client for the first time 10 minutes prior to a hearing is not offering adequate pre-hearing preparation.

Can I Stop Paying Child Support if My Child Comes to Live with Me? The Answer May Surprise You!
In this video Attorney Terri Herron is going to discuss about Can I stop paying child support if the child comes to live with me?
When a divorce is finalized, a court determines which parent will receive custody of your child. Courts require that both parents provide for their children, keeping them in the same financial situation as if they were still living together. Thus, the non-custodial parent pays child support.
There are many factors courts consider when determining custody rulings and child support payments.
If you want to know that can I stop paying child support if the child comes to live with me?
Technically, until your child support obligation is legally terminated by court order, you are required to continue paying support to the other parent. However, in this situation, it's quite likely that the court will terminate your child support obligation once you make the appropriate motion for a modification.

Step Parent Adoption
If you are remarried and do not have a relationship with the other biological parent, you may be wondering if step-parent adoption is an option and how it works, among other things. Step-parent adoption represents a great chance for both you and your child (or children) to enjoy the increased security that comes with this legal arrangement. Studies have shown that there are tremendous psychological and emotional benefits to this type of family structure.
Simply put- a step parent adoption completely extinguishes the rights of the other biological parent and the step-parent becomes the legal parent of your child. In the event something were to ever happen to you, it would be the step-parent that would take guardianship of the child. While a step-parent adoption is not as complicated as other types of adoption, it is still a legal process that an experienced adoption attorney should help you with. This is especially true if there are issues with the biological parent, you are a same sex couple or you are in a situation where you each want to adopt children.
State laws vary by state and the sooner you get in touch with an attorney, the sooner you can celebrate this very exciting event.
