I wanna know asked:


If a person files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage and the end result from the court is Dismissed without prejudice for lack of prosecution… what does that mean? Is the person divorced? The case was on the court’s Inactive Calendar for over 60 days. If it does not mean the divorce was final, will the person have to file a new petition for Dissolution of Marriage?

After the first of the year I’m leaving my bf. My best friend and I are going to get a place in Nevada, I wanted to know if I can file for full custody as soon as I get there? Or do I have to wait to be a resident?

Leaving on a jetplane asked:


I would like to know if anyone can help me find out more on the child custody laws in West Virginia. The child was abused by one or both of the parents and I’m looking into trying to gain custody. I live in NC and I’m the aunt of the child. I can’t find anything on the internet to help me with what I need to know or to direct me on how I need to proceed. If anyone can help or tell me of a good source of information, please do.
I’ve already met with the social worker on the case and she is currently working on getting paperwork ready for a home study for my husband and I. I just need to know more when it comes to how long we would have the baby if granted custody. What happens after that?

Biddy asked:


I can’t find any laws that I understand about this. Say that, several years after the divorce, the father is returning with intention of getting sole custody. He has emotionally abused his child in the past, though she never went to therapy for it, and he has a history of not paying child support or using his child support checks as blackmail to get his ex wife or daughter to agree to what he wants. And he has the stable money out of both the parents. Are there any laws that could be dragged up that would absolutely keep him from gaining sole custody?

I want to file for sole custody. My ex does not see the baby at all. I even made an attempt to go over to is family’s restaurant so at least his mom could see him. He caled me and said he was too busy and do not come over there. He has visitation on weekends, but I was willing to work with him on other times. He does not respond. What would you do? I’m fed up with trying to be nice about this.

Gwen asked:


I had my child custody finalized in Indiana prior to marrying/moving to Hawaii to be with my Army husband. We’re getting ready to move to our next final destination which is back to the mainland. Does anyone know if in the courts of Indiana, you are required to file an intent to move with every move? Also, can a change of jurisdiction be requested once we reach our final destination since it’s outside of Indiana? This involves a young child so there will be years of potential updates required and neither the father nor I reside in Indiana.

Jennifer C asked:


My husband served me with divorce papers in February, but after reconciling, told me that the divorce was put on hold. When he decided to end the reconciliation, the court date was already passed. I haven’t received any information regarding this and I’m really confused. I was told that I had to file an answer with the courts so he doesn’t get custody of our daughter because of me not going to the court date. How do I file an answer? I can’t afford an attorney.

I see a lot of affairs happening between coworkers, and I am wondering whether that has added to the divorce rate that has risen since the 70s… What do you think?
