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

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.

Now that our marriage is over, who gets to keep the house?

Brent R. Chipman
Answered by attorney Brent R. Chipman
Divorce lawyer at Law Office of Brent R. Chipman
The disposition of real property is an issue handled in the divorce proceeding. If your parents have an agreement with you and your wife to repay them for the down payment, that could be addressed in the orders issued by the divorce court. If you purchased the home prior to the marriage, there may be an argument that your wife is entitled to less than one-half of the equity in the home. You may be awarded the home, but required to pay an amount to your wife representing part of the equity in the home.

Is it considered abandonment if Husband left the home, after his mistress called and sent emails about their 3-year relationship?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Generally abandonment has to do with leaving children without care. Abandoning a spouse as such has very little meaning in our law. If he is not supporting you, you could sue for support, or for divorce.
