Numerous determinations need to be made when a divorce occurs, including the distribution of all marital property to the two parties. Property division can become one of the most heated as it dictates who is granted assets and the proportion to which they're granted to each respective party.
Legal loophole may force man to pay permanent alimony
A divorce case involving a unique immigration policy may force a man to pay alimony for life to his ex-wife. The couple divorced after six years of marriage and she is now alleging that he breached a contract with her and the federal government. Upon marrying her, the man had to sponsor her by affidavit to bring her into the country and agree to support her to prevent her from becoming a burden on any welfare programs.
Father reduces child support payments, gets harassed by state
One man recently encountered issues with child support payments pursuant to his divorce, something that may be encountered by Georgia parents as well. He and his ex-wife divorced and the man agreed to pay $894 per month in child support for the couple's son. After a period of time, the man's ex-wife desired to move back to her native country of Malaysia, which the man consented to. Since the cost of living is cheaper in Malaysia, the man was able to decrease his child support obligation, agreeing to instead pay $600 per month.
Task force seeks to educate fathers on their custody rights
Determining a child custody arrangement is one of the most difficult things for a court to do in cases of divorce. In the past, courts have demonstrated a gender bias towards mothers in creating such arrangements. It is important for courts and all parties involved in such cases to not infringe on fathers' rights by providing them a level playing field in such determinations.
