Howard E. Knispel, P.C. | Commack NY Attorneys
We want to be your trusted advisers during these difficult times. With more than 25 years of experience in Suffolk, Nassau and New York City, you can be certain that...
- Q. I and my spouse have custody of my nephews and we split up do I automatically get joint custody with primary residency
- A: Nothing is "automatic". Do you have a court order granting you custody? Does it grant it to you, or to you and your spouse? If there is no court order then you do not have legal custody and should go to court to seek custody or guardianship, whichever is appropriate in your case. Talk to a lawyer.
- Q. Can my kids mom take me for more child support, if the kids are 18 and 20 and the kids don’t work?
- A: In New York, child support terminates at 21. However, in most cases, the amount of support is determined by your income. Only where the court determines you are under-employed would the court deviate. Talk to a local attorney.
- Q. Annulment in NYS grounds? ideology sovereign citizen extremism
- A: There are very specific grounds for an annulment (DRL 140). (a) Former husband or wife living (spouse is still married to another). (b) Party under age of consent. (c) Party a mentally retarded person or mentally ill person. (d) Physical incapacity. (e) Consent by force, duress or fraud. These grounds have further restrictions. It is much easier to simply get a no-fault divorce in NY, which only requires the marraige is irretreivably broken for at least 6 months.
