- Q. Will he still have to pay child support with shared or joint custody?
- A: that depends on both of your income. sometimes, judges will state not child support if you both make the same or nearly the same amount of money and the physical custody is joint. however, it depends on the judge, the county, and other factors. even if joint custody is given, child support may still be required based on the income levels.
- Q. Shared or joint custody how can I ask that my child not be around his gf I have police papers on her for trespassing
- A: you can reach an agreement with your ex stating that when he has visitation of your child, that he cannot have anyone with whom he is romantically involved at the home who is not related by blood or marriage. or you can explicitly state in the agreement that his girlfriend cannot be around the child. or you can state something that specifically targets her. for example, if she has a criminal record, then you can state that no one with a criminal record can be around the child. however, usually these caveats run both ways so you will likely have to follow the same rules that you want him to follow.
- Q. If you get a speeding ticket and the vehicle, tag and address info is completely wrong, can it be dismissed?
- A: the ticket is written to the individual, not to the vehicle. so no, it cannot be dismissed if the information associated with the car is incorrect. that would incentivize people to put incorrect info down and never have to pay a ticket if that were the case.
