Q. Who has custody of the parents weren't married?

13 January 2022

A: Thank you for the question. Neither party has legal custody of the child until a court order is issued. The mother has filed a case in a certain state, if she leaves, there are jurisdictional issues that may be raised by the court or the father if she moves or fails to pursue the case. Of course she can leave and make that choice, but there are consequences to her leaving she should consider before moving along. An attorney in her area can walk through all those different options with her so she can make an informed decision. Best of luck.

Q. Child turned 18, graduated high school and is employed, can I petition to have child support dropped?

13 January 2022

A: Thank you for your question. Nineteen is the age of majority in Alabama. If your child is completely self-supporting financially, and you can prove it, then the Court may allow a modification but it's not a guarantee based on what you've said. Best of luck!

Q. Married in washington state, recently moved to alabama, (ex) husband included. He moved back to Washington. Need advice.

5 November 2021

A: As said, you need to have a consultation with an attorney in your area. You have several big issues going on that may have implications re: custody. Best of luck!
