B.,
Deborah Schram 11 W Monument Ave ###-###-#### is a real go getter!
My husband went through a divorce where he was trying to get custody of his children....at the time Dad getting custody was unheard of. The kids were 5 and 18mths. He did get custody by the way. We had Deborah Schram on retainer for quite some time. My husbands ex was always doing something...
taking the kids out of state without letting us know. Letting them drink wine coolers at her birthday party...
Putting them in danger.
Anyway, she is a GREAT attorney.
Good Luck!

Well, I'm not sure where you're at, but if you're in Lucas county, send me a PM and I will give you the name and number of my lawyer. He was absolutely awesome. As far as him "getting out of paying" he just can't do that. The courts don't care if you're working or not, you are still responsible financially. In Lucas Co, they base it on a 40/week minimum wage job for anyone who is unemployed. Even if he is not paying, as long as he has an order, it will keep adding up and won't just go away. I have lots of stories on this subject I'd be happy to share. Just get a hold of me. BTW, congrats on your new found freedom. I know exactly how wonderful you feel right now.

dear B.,

whatever u do do NOT go to kent depoorter! he use to be on paragon rd. not sure if he had any other locations. this man did NOTHING to stand up for me, even when he was given a name of a lady from children's services who said she's stand up for me. in the end it seemed to me mr. depoorter was more on my ex's side than mine!
now my ex had terry posey. he seemed to do a really good job(at least for my ex). not sure how he is for the females.

good luck. and take care.

I don't know of any good divorce lawyers, but whether or not your soon to be ex is working or not the judge will still order him to pay child support. Typically if you are receiving child support you will not receive spousal support. As far as health care goes, he will probably not have to cover the children until he gets another job and gets insurance through them. In the meantime apply for Medicaid for your children. The legal system is crazy. Once he gets another job, if he does not pay his child support, take him back to court and have his wages garnished. I know someone else told you to basically stick it to him when it comes to the child support,but it doesn't work that way. They will look at how much money he makes, and base it off of his income. Either way, whether he is working or not they will make him pay child support. Good luck, and I wish you the best.

Do NOT use Paul Winterhalter - whatever you do.

you can talk to Walter Galvin at Tracy and Tracy LLC in West Carrollton. I have used him for other matters but have discussed child support and medical payment issues with him and he seems on his game. I also understand that this practice has a reputation for being good for family law. there are also 3 other attys there if you want to discuss with any of them.

Good Luck. I have been in your shoes and when all is said and done - you will feel 100% better.

Wow very sorry to hear of your dilemma. I hated going through my divorce or I should say the idea of going through a divorce. But I decided to go the no lawyer route and would do it again in a heartbeat. We have 3 kids and were able to put all our visitation agreements and everything on the paperwork. I was able to divide our property and do everything online. I told my sister about them...http://www.divorce4her.com/testimonies.html she was extremely happy to save time, money and embarrassment of divorce by how simple and quick it was. Good luck always!
