Legal Answers
101 Questions Answered
Q. Can I file a motion for temporary support, time-share, and other relief with dependent or minor children?
A: Yes, you can file a motion for temporary relief, but if you are represented by an attorney you would need to have them file the motion. If you were not represented by an attorney you could file the motion on your own. Be aware that some jurisdictions have administrative orders that apply to family cases in which the court may not allow temporary relief hearings until the parties have attended mediation.
Q. My daughter and her husband lived in Missouri he filed divorce she moved to Florida and he has now moved to Florida
A: If the case is still pending in Missouri you would need to first speak with an attorney in Missouri to address the case there and see if it can be transferred to Florida now that both of you live in Florida.
Q. if my wife committed infidelity at work with her manager can I sue the company?
A: I am a family attorney so I cannot give you advice on your rights to sue her employer. I can say that many companies frown upon this sort of behavior and if they are made aware of it, it could lead to both your wife and the coworkers to be terminated. Not sure if you want to do that, as when you file for divorce, if she is unemployed it will have an effect on the child support you may have to pay.

You may want to consider filing for divorce sooner rather than later so that the court can help you address the finances, custody, and child support.
