Legal Answers
1438 Questions Answered
- Q. Can a judge refuse to hear or rule on a motion for summary judgment?
- A: Family cases are a little different than regular civil cases. At the trial you can argue your summary judgment motion; however, the judge will probably consider your arguments together with everything else that is presented at the trial. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
- Q. Is there any Florida case law, that states when a court suspends a parent’s timesharing?
- A: The short answer is NO. Although child support and timesharing are interrelated, a suspension of timesharing does not suspend a child support obligation. The financial obligation is ongoing pursuant to the court order unless and until it is changed. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
- Q. PBC Florida. Husband abandoned me and stole our 2 children! He wont let me see or speak to them. How should I proceed?
- A: As long as the two of you are legally married you both have equal rights to the children. If you want the courts to intervene then you need to file a case against your spouse. The most obvious case would be a dissolution of marriage (divorce). The case would need to be filed where you have lived for the past six months. The case would also need to be served on your spouse so you need to know where he is as well. These can be complex issues so you should really speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
