What happens if my ex doesn't complete the parenting class before our schedule final court date?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James Mitchell Tacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Mitch Tacy Family Law Attorney & Mediator
It is important to understand that the mandate to complete of a parenting class (in a Colorado domestic relations case) is a Court-Ordered requirement. Classes are offered online at a relatively low cost, so there is really no excuse for not complying with the Court's Order. Incidentally, I have many clients that say they get great benefit from taking the class. There are several approaches for you to take in addressing this issue. 1) Do nothing. This is the Court's Order. If the Judge or Magistrate handling the case wants to deal with non-compliance, he/she can. 2) Raise the Issue with the Court. You can raise it verbally at a status conference when you are in front of a Judge, or you can file a simple Notice (i.e. Notice of Non-Compliance)? basically informing the Court that the other party has not complied. The Court will very likely enforce its Order before approving of any parenting time. 3) Force Compliance. You can file a contempt motion with the Court. This will insure compliance. Overall, the parenting class is intended for the benefit of the children (and parents). My experience is that the Court, unless the issue is accidentally overlooked, is simply not going to tolerate non-compliance. If a parent wants the Court to grant him/her parental rights, he/she should expect that the Court will require compliance with relatively simple, easy-to-comply with Orders.

How can I protect my 401K during a divorce? Also would it still be protected if I roll it over to an IRA?

In NJ they are both subject to Equitable Distribution and must be considered as marital property for the period the parties were married. Protection only applies for any time the parties were not married.

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 Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
It is astonishing to me how many people simply listen to their spouse telling them what will happen in a dissolution, and do not take the opportunity to consult with experienced legal counsel. If the condo was purchased prior to your marriage then it is your sole and separate property. That is not to say that your husband may have no claim to a reimbursement for money he may have loaned you. There are many factors involved, and there is no substitute for meeting with an experienced family law attorney to discuss the classification of property as sole and separate or community.
