Summerland Key, FL Divorce Law Firms & Lawyers

The best answer to your situation that I can give you, as I have already done, is to get to a family attorney in your area to sort out this mess and claim a special equity, which if you do not claim you waive. It's complicated and you need a professional.

If the house was purchased during your marriage you would be entitled to half of it was purchased and paid for with community property income or other assets regardless of how the property is titled. You can file your petition and ask for exclusive use and possession of the home pending a hearing so you could remain in the home until the court makes its order. You should consult with a family law attorney as your marriage is considered a marriage of long duration and there are certain benefits that come with that.

A judge signed your agreed order, otherwise there would be no final order of divorce. His remarriage does not impact maintenance. Nor do his reasons for agreeing on what ultimately became an order. You need to follow the order to the letter. If he is not paying what he was ordered to pay make a motion for contempt re failure to pay maintenance/support. He has no obligation to help you. He should be taking the children at the times allocated to him in the parenting plan, but he has no duty to take them any other time. He does have a duty to pay child support regardless of your income. Again, what he has to pay is in the Order of Child Support. Agreements are the process. It means nothing until there is an order. The order is enforceable and that's what you need to look at. Anything preceding the judge signing the order is irrelevant once the order is signed.
