Does my lawyer need to be in the same county as I reside in?

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Yes - you can use that firm.  There is no reason an attorney from another county can't represent you.  Sometimes, attorneys are more familiar with one county because they appear in that county most often and get to know the judges and other lawyers.  However, many attorneys practice in more than on e county.

Do I have any right to the $50,000 she received from her grandmother since we had allotted $20,000 for the new kitchen that the house needed?

Answered by attorney Barbara Peyton (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Peyton & Associates
If the $50K was a gift to your wife, you have no right to it. If it was a loan to "both of you", probably. You need to have evidence that the money was a loan or gift to both of you to have any right to it. Good luck

Failure to comply

Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
You really need to contact a matrimonial or family lawyer to help you sort out some of these issues by way of enforcement orders to get your ex-wife to comply with the existing orders.  If she "says" a judge told her something - she is wrong.  The Judge would have written an order, and just becuase you did not comply with child support doesn't mean she is absolved of paying the entire $150,000.
