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

Kelly Snodgrass
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.

What can I do if my husband and I own a home together and he wants me to move out?

Answered by attorney Gerard A. Fierro (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Gerard A. Fierro & Associates
You do not have to move out, especially if there are children. It also depends if you can afford to keep the home yourself and if you want to keep it. If you have an agreement for him to pay your expenses to live elsewhere you may want to consider moving. You also need to consider factors such as what are the costs of maintaining the house versus the rental value of the house. Does the house have equity and should the house be sold? You should discuss these factors with an experienced family law attorney before moving out.

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.
