School is out mid-May. Graduation is late June. How should the final payment be handled?
You will need to review your support order. Most of the time the order will state the due date as the 1st day of the month. If child graduates in June then the June 1 payment would be made as usual.
Your question is a little vague. Are you subject to drug testing during a custody dispute? Will you test positive for thc regardless of using legal cbd? Get a consultation to better understand your issue

If I understand your question correctly, you were a Filipino citizen and you filed a complaint for divorce in the United States against your wife (who was also a Filipino citizen) and presumably, you obtained a judgement of divorce against your wife.

You were not married when she received the check, one half of which belongs to you because of your marriage during 2019. You need to work it out with her and let her know that you are legally entitled to ½ of the money. Probably, it is not worth to ask attorney to write a letter to her. I hope... Read more »
No separation agreement and i found out he is in a physical relationship with another woman for the past 3yrs & she lives with him. Is this grounds for adultry and is his rental home considered mine also since Louisiana is community property & he rented this home while still married?
Yes, his living with another woman is adultery and grounds for immediate divorce. It sounds like he has lived in the rental home for 3 years. That means your 1 year lease expired and he has entered a new lease, excluding you. If it was a commercial lease, like of a brick and mortar Walgreens, it... Read more »
Depends solely on whose name is on the lease.
If the house was purchased during the marriage it is likely that you both are entitled to half of the house because it is marital property. If it is marital property, either of you may propose to buy the other's interest in the house or you may put the house on the market and split the proceeds.

You would be wise to consult with a lawyer on this issue. The reason is because your husband (who is not your ex until the judge signs the divorce order) is the presumptive father under the law. He doesn't want to get hit with a request for child support in the future or deal with paternity at a... Read more »

All the money is in his account. He thinks all the cars and the house is he's. I have access to credit card can I use it? It is in his name but Im on it.
Contact an attorney to help. Sometimes, the court will order him to pay your fees.

Before the divorce is finalized, the household situation has become hostile and we have children as well. I know legally the rented home is his as well as mine but I am the only person employed and covering all the bills, including the rent
You are correct that both of you have a right to be in the residence. In Ohio, there is no uniform rule regarding one spouse having exclusive occupancy. Rather, this is governed by the local rules of each county’s domestic relations court. You will need to see if your situation fits the local... Read more »

As the benefit being paid to you is by inheritance, it is separate property and therefore not subject to division in your divorce. The monthly benefit paid to you however, can be used as income for purposes of calculating spousal support. If you are legally entitled to a portion of his... Read more »
It’s almost been 1 year and I was ready to file in VA but I’m reading MD is better for child support. Is this correct?
Your choice of court is not determined by gained benefit but rather jurisdiction.
If you live in Va for six months, you can file for divorce only, i.e., terminate the marriage, but nothing more.
If you want to do property, financial, money matters, etc., you need personal... Read more »
Technically, there is no minimum or maximum. In a short term marriage, that would be less than ten years, it is customary that support not exceed 1/2 the term of marriage. Support is very dependent on the income streams of both parties. Support is not automatic, and must be requested, or agreed... Read more »
