- Q. What is the chances of a parent losing guardianship with the right to consent to long term care short of adoption by dss
- A: This is something you need to talk to an attorney about offline as a lot of more information needs to be provided (that should not be shared on a public forum).
- Q. What is the basic child support obligation based on?
- A: If the parties combined incomes is less than 180K a year then the parties gross income, health insurance premiums for the children, daycare expenses, and at times some other expenses for the children. The amount of overnights can be a factor as well.
- Q. Can I lose my pre-marriage possessions (car, house, motorcycle, etc) in a divorce, if they're all in my name?
- A: If the asset is in your sole name you will keep it (even if purchased during the marriage). Depending on if you put any money towards these assets, your spouse may have an interest in them when it comes time to a judge deciding, what, if any, monetary award should be provided to either of you.
