Can I get out of a contempt charge, if I can show good cause?

Answered by attorney Kelly Snodgrass
Divorce lawyer at Robinson & Henry, P.C.
To be charged with contempt, you must have the ability to comply with a court order.  If you have lost your job or have no income, it is not likely that your Ex can prove that you have a present ability to pay child support. Additionally, it sounds like you may want to file to modify child support.  Generally, a party is imputed income at a rate at which they reasonably could, should or have earned, or their "potential income."  In your case, one would expect your Ex to be imputed at the amount he would make at his new career field.  Additionally, some expenses you pay, including daycare expenses, should be included in the child support calculation by statute.  see C.R.S. 14-10-115 regarding child support guidelines.

Where should I file?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
You can file in the county where you live. If you file jointly as petitioner and co-petitioner, you don't need a waiver of service. If there are no children, you should be able to get though it without any court appearances, but there are some deadlines you have to meet to avoid going to court. I hope this helps.

How do i get my wife out of our house?

Answered by attorney John E. Kirchner (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at John E. Kirchner
You need to file for divorce and work out the details for a final settlement, including who will get the house. You don't provide enough information to be sure, but it would appear that for now she has as much legal right to live in the house as you do and only a judge, in a divorce case, can break the tie.
