Can perjury be punishable in family law cases?
I recently discovered that my child’s mother lied about child care expenses in order to get more child support from me. I have proof of her none payment to confirm this in writing. She is not paying anything, but yet claims she has, which caused my child support order to be increased because the child care expense was calculated along with her income which would be more than mine if they had not deducted the child care as a work related expense on her income. Can she be punished for committing perjury if she testfied in court as well as documented the false information with the social worker? I’m working my butt off to pay this chick and she has been taking me for a ride, she has never paid for childcare in about 10 years! Also, do childcare cost have anything to do with the tax credit since she claims the child every year?

1….does anyone know what my rights are in the matter of family law and changing a venue?? My ex opened a case 2 counties from me. Since my summons, I addressed the court and told them this was not my county and that I cannot get to this county and the reasons why. I asked for a change in venue with the courts after this (about 3 months) because they kept sending mediation notices and I kept sending notarized and certified letters telling them I wouldn’t be there and why.I now have received a letter from the other party ..a motion to strike…(since my motion to change venue and transfer of court files). So, should I have a rebuttal or opposition to this or let the judge decide??? I live in Florida.

2.. my other question was also in this matter and the fact that I cannot get to this county for mediation and the such, are there any rights I might have? I take care of the child without any support from the father and there is an open case with the state for support which is in my county. Is there anything in law stating that I can get the mediation transferred. ( This is why I asked for a change in venue). The minor child and I have never resided anywhere else. The child nor I have never been or lived in that county. Have I already done all I can???

I just recently inherited a substantual amout of $ from a family member. My ex-common law wife found out about it, and threatened to sue for a peice of it, stating that she is entitled to her share. We were separated long before I inherited. I say she is not entitled. I have full custody of our child, I told her to leave me alone or I would sue her for child support–this was just a scare tactic on my behalf–the $ is for the upbringing of my child, and a good amount has been put into a savings account for my childs future. We are from a common law state and are legally seperated.

Hi my step sons father has moved to another country and is pressing through the Australian family law court for the 10yr old son to visit him, the child has been to reportable counseling sessions for the court and has stated constantly that he does not wish to travel overseas , but would just see his father when he returns to Australia .
The court has been given this info and has still made orders forcing the child to travel overseas unwillingly …can the court force a child to travel like this against his will ? What rights does the child have ??
The courts ruling has made the child very upset to the point he cry’s every day and refuses to speak to his father ( for this reason I have organized counselling for the child ) I need any advice that could help the child …thankyou

Can anyone recommend a family law attorney that has knowledge in Military divorces/custody in Jacksonville, Florida? My friend is stationed in Great Lakes, IL, but the soon-to-be ex is living in Florida with his kids. He has an attorney now, but she has been a complete waste of money so far. It appears as if she’s gonna end up with half of his retirement, since they have been married for almost 11 years AND get residential custody of the kids. Has any active duty military had any personal experience with getting decent visitation with their kids and NOT have to give the ex half of their retirement? Would appreciate your advice!!
Yellow pages is how he found the first schmuck of an attorney. I’m gonna say let’s see if anyone out there has personally known, or knew of someone that had a good experience with a decent attorney.

Can someone explain what the following means? It’s under Support Guidelines in Ontario’s family law act.

Setting aside domestic contract
(4) The court may set aside a provision for support or a waiver of the right to support in a domestic contract or paternity agreement and may determine and order support in an application under subsection (1) although the contract or agreement contains an express provision excluding the application of this section,
(a) if the provision for support or the waiver of the right to support results in unconscionable circumstances;
(b) if the provision for support is in favour of or the waiver is by or on behalf of a dependant who qualifies for an allowance for support out of public money; or
(c) if there is default in the payment of support under the contract or agreement at the time the application is made. R.S.O. 1990, c. F.3, s. 33(4).

CW asked:


If the family is our basic institution - the one that all other institutions are based on, why is it that its members are not protected from others who trespass (adultery) and from a partner who is negligent of his/her oath and vow to love, honour, obey, …to be faithful, loyal, and diligent to protect and honour all members of the family? What about “alienation of affection” regarding the partner that has been betrayed? I would like to know why our family law ignores this yet, in contrast, contract and civil laws do examine similar issues, ie., trespassing, breaking of contracts, etc.
