Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

I pay alimony to my ex-wife. Our divorce decree is silent on the issue, but it is my understanding that I should no longer have to pay alimony if she is remarried or cohabiting.

My ex-wife is engaged, but I'm still paying her spousal support. It seems totally unreasonable to have to continue to pay alimony to an ex-spouse after she remarries.

So how can I get my alimony payments stopped after my ex-spouse remarries if the divorce agreement is silent on the matter of her cohabiting or remarrying?

Question:

I am looking for an alimony and child custody modification but am unsure which state has jurisdiction to proceed.

I currently live in another state from where our divorced was filed. My ex-wife and children continue to live in that state.

Could I get a change of venue so that the state I live in would have jurisdiction to handle my child custody and alimony modification procedures or do I have to go through the courts in the state where we got divorced?

Divorce is likely one of the most stressful times in your life. 

The picture to the right lists the 25 most stressful events in a person’s life, according to StressAffect.com.

It’s probable that you are currently experiencing at least one of, if not several of, these events currently.

If you are going through a divorce (#2) in all likelihood you are also going through a separation (#3), there is a change in your financial state (#16), an increase in arguments with your wife (#19) and presumably trouble with the in-laws (#24).

If you add up the scores associated with the stressful event, that’s 240 stress points.

Notice that the second most stressful event is going through a divorce. Divorce can cause you to contemplate getting rid of the everyday stress of work and do what you always wanted. 

Question:

I currently have two child support orders.

If I pay off one of the child support orders, will the other order automatically increase because I will have more net income?

Question:

My divorce question is about the determination of alimony when someone is nearing retirement.

I sold my small business a few months ago that resulted in a much larger than average income for this past year. I'm intending to retire off of that sale.

My income going forward will likely be minimal, so how is alimony determined given that I am about to retire off profits I made through my business?
