Legal Answers
888 Questions Answered
Q. Am I required to send my son back if one parent moves out of state with joint custody?
A: File a Request for Order re modification of current custody orders. Obviously, with parents living in two different states, joint physical custody is no longer feasible. Assuming that your son is enrolled in school in the non-moving parent's state, I would say, for now, until that motion (Request for Order) is heard and ruled on, that your son stay in non-moving parent's custody. That being said, do not hesitate to file that motion. Do not give the appearance of violating court orders. Although, again, moving out of state makes compliance with those court orders impractical.
Q. What are my rights regarding a car in a divorce when the car is financed in my name but taken by my spouse in California?
A: Sounds like you've answered your own question - the car is marital property (i.e. community property). If it has any value, she would owe you an equalization payment for one-half its value if she is awarded the car in your divorce. She can also be ordered to fill out the paperwork with the DMV to transfer title and be ordered to refinance the loan so that your name is no longer on it and/or you are no longer responsible.
Q. How to correct errors in child custody form before hearing or mediation?
A: Has the other parent been served yet? If not, you can refile the same forms designating them as "amended". If the other parent has been served, then you refile the same forms designating them as "amended", but you then also include a proof of service of these amended forms.
