Should I relocate with my kids, within state, before or after filing for divorce?

David M. Rich
Answered by attorney David M. Rich (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Flatiron Legal Advisors LLC
Until there is a court order about parenting time, each parent has an equal right to parenting time and there is nothing to stop you from moving across the state. Venue (where you file) is proper where he resides or in whatever county he is served in. You can, however, file in any county and it would be up to him to object to that venue and try to have it moved. You probably are better off moving before filing, but I would need to know more about the facts of your case to give you a more definitive response as to whether that would benefit you legally and you also should consider the human factors and how it will affect your case and your relationship with him going forward as co-parents if you move the kids prior to filing for divorce and getting a court order regarding parenting time (given the age of the children, the facts you state and his involvement with the kids, it sounds like you have a pretty good case to be allowed to move across the state in any case). I offer a free 15 minute initial consultation if you have further questions. I hope this helps.

How do I claim my portion of my ex husbands retirement?

David J Hutchinson
Answered by attorney David J Hutchinson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at David J. Hutchinson
You need to have had what is called a QDRO order entered by the Court saying what you are entitled to. If that was done, it should happen. If not, you need to get one entered. Call an attorney.

Is it true that I can't get the house if it's in my name but my husband helped me with the down payment and the loan?

Answered by attorney James Kristian Falk (Unclaimed Profile)

I think your husband is trying to intimidate you. Under the facts you have described, it is unlikely that you will get "nothing" in the divorce. It is possible that a Family Court Judge would determine that some percentage of the equity in the condo is a marital asset, and that your husband may have a claim to it. However, if you have proof that your husband has committed adultery that is grounds for divorce in South Carolina. A South Carolina Family Court judge will consider "marital fault" in making a distribution of marital property and give you a greater portion of the marital assets. Additionally, it is realistic that the Court could order your husband to pay your legal fees and court costs in the divorce along with temporary maintenance and support (alimony).
