Can a divorced woman keep custody of her child if she remarries?

Yes, a divorced woman can keep custody of her child if she remarries. Every situation is different, however. Is the child's biological father in the picture? The court will want to know who else is present in the child's life—who is the child's caregivers and how close are they to the child. The Court will always do what is in the best interests of the child – so try to see things from that perspective.

When considering whether a divorced woman can keep custody of her child if she remarries, the first thing to look at is the law in her state. Different states have different rules regarding divorce and custody: some states allow a parent to change their custody status to "joint" or "shared" after remarriage, and others require that the parent terminate their old custody order before being allowed to enter into a new one.

In situations where the court can't approve of an unmarried stepparent's rights over a child during joint custody, there are two ways around this issue: having the stepparent adopt the child, or having the court terminate a previous order and issue a new one. In either case, the stepparent must prove to formalize his role as part of the family by showing what kind of relationship he has with all members of the household.

For example, if you're looking for joint or shared custody in place of sole custody, you'll need to show that your stepchild considers you an integral part of their life. This might mean taking them on vacations together or showing them off at public functions—whatever it takes to show that you're just as involved with your spouse's children as you are with your own.

What will I lose if I file for bankruptcy?

Image
This depends on several things. First, what state do you live in - the state exemptions will allow you to keep certain property. Each state’s laws are different. Second, the chapter of bankruptcy that you file. Typically, in chapter 13, you keep most (if not all of your property) because it is more of a reorganization than it is a liquidation. If you are filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy, you should really speak with a lawyer because you can lose things if you don’t do the paperwork right. Just because the law allows you to keep something under an exemption law, if you don’t put the law in your paperwork, you don’t get it. You might think that the only thing you lose when you file for bankruptcy is a bunch of money (and some of your things, if you can't keep them after the bankruptcy). But what you lose is really a lot more than that. It's very important to think about what you'll be giving up before choosing whether or not to hire a bankruptcy attorney in your area. If ...

Why should I have to pay my wife alimony when she is able to work?

Image
Alimony is a payment that one spouse will make to the other after they separate or divorce. You are not required to pay alimony if you don't want to, and if you're the one who asks for alimony, you'll have a hard time getting it. But if your spouse is able to earn money, and you aren't, you could be forced to pay the alimony.   My wife and I have been married for the past 7 years. We have 3 kids. In any other case, she would be entitled to 60% of the marital assets.   However, she is a stay-at-home mother who does not work. I am employed full-time as a manager at a local bank.   I do not make enough money to support our family on my own, so I want her to contribute as well. She is against this idea, and I don't understand why.   Is there anything that can be done?   When you get married, you make a commitment to support each other. You mutually agree on your goals and economic situation, then build a life together and solidify that agreement by creating a legal ...

How do you change the executor of a will?

Image
Changing the executor of a will is an important decision that requires the specific attention of an estate planning attorney. If you're looking to change your will and add a new executor, you should consult with an attorney for help. The first step is to decide who you want to appoint as your new executor. Your choice must be reviewed by your attorney to ensure that person is legally able to fulfill the duties of the position , including knowing what documents are needed from them and how they need to be filed. The next step is telling your current executor. This person can be informed in person, over the phone, or via a letter that includes their current contact information so they can get in touch with the proper offices if anything needs updating. You'll also need to update any health care proxies or powers of attorney. Your next step after this is to call your estate planning attorney.
