I have seen many questions regarding?

I've seen many questions regarding divorce as well as child support/custody/visitation. I'm wondering if these people actually READ the papers before they sign them since the questions they ask have to deal with what the court orders actually say...questions about custodial parent moving, questions about age of child when child support ends...Why don't these people READ these before they sign them, they are legal and binding contracts. Can it be that there are that many people out there who don't know how to read or have little/no reading comprehension?

To Dani, in the U.S. a couple who divorces has to have a final decree of divorce to prove it. If not then they are not divorced and if they enter into an intimate relationship with someone else they are committing adultery against the marriage they have with each other. No final decree of divorce signed by a judge, equals no divorce, and they can't marry someone else in the U.S. with out that decree. So those agreements your parents have won't go far in a court of law.

To Eldon...it doesn't take much to ask someone to explain the jargon in divorce paperwork, having gone through a divorce myself all it took was asking my lawyer what in "human" terms all that jargon meant and she explained it to me. You can also contact law schools and have students give you help (for a nominal fee). But you have to ASK first.

Justjokin...I've been divorced and I know that in order to get a final decree of divorce BOTH parties HAVE to sign ALL of the papers even for "non-contested" divorces. If they aren't signed there is no divorce. And both parties get certified copies of the papers regardless of contested-non contested.

To truffle...I DID read my divorce/custody/visitation/support papers. Funny thing having read them, re read them and had the parts I didn't understand...I have never had any questions because anything I quesitoned I would go back and read over that portion of my final decree. Color yourself DUH huh?

You seem like a very bitter and sad person. It's no wonder you are divorced. Perhaps you married too soon too? Maybe if you would have gotten to know your x-husband first, you would not have had to go through so much legal crap!

It is sad that many times when divorce is filed that the non custodial parent may not even see the final papers or even are aware of any changes in them along the way. True when they are notified about the divorce you would think they would keep tabs on everything that is filed. Additionally with the courts today they do not have to sign any divorce papers unless they are agreeable to the settlement. But if they are contesting what is being asked or what the custodial parent is requesting than they need to send in a response contesting what the petitioners has filed with the courts in an appropriate amount of time (ex. 20 days in state or 60 days out of state) or they lose by default. Once that happens they have to wait to file a modification (2-3yrs) unless they can prove wrong doing by the petitioner. Many divorces today are done by pro per, that is on one own, and not through an attorney.

I do not desire my little one permit on my own any individual else's little one to head via anything like that. When it come to coughing I can not preserve him residence till he is over it. If I had been to do this then he might nonetheless be in kindergarten on the age of nine. My son has problems while the air is simply too dry and can preserve a cough during the complete iciness. He is aware of to preserve his mouth and nostril blanketed with the bend of his arm alternatively of his palms, and he continuously washes his hand, making use of hand sanitizer, or anti-bacterial wipes, in order that others may not be as more likely to "trap" anything it's. Now I HAVE taken him to the medical professional's for this cough and they've given him medication and while it did not paintings they mentioned that it was once definitely due to the fact that of the air is dry and/or from the coldness of the iciness. I might by no means ship him to institution if it had been anything contagious.

Often those papers are written in legal language that is hard for the average person to understand and I would imagine they have to much pride to ask alot of questions..also many times the people are so anxious to get it over with they would sign anything

They may have turned much of the decision-making power over to their legal representation, and yes, I also think there are some very poor readers out their. In their defense, much legal language is unnecesarily convoluted and often archaic in its phrasing, which helps to obscure its meaning. .
