Anyone Know? Do you have to be divorced in order to get child support for a child of that marriage?

We live in PA. My daughter is in a TERRIBLY abusive relationship. She keeps telling me that she can't afford to leave her husband because she won't be able to afford her own children. Does she need to have a signed divorce in order to collect support from the children's father.Anyone Know? Do you have to be divorced in order to get child support for a child of that marriage?
Divorce in PA is notorious for giving the woman the short end of the stick. If she's serious about divorce and being financially stable, she should move to Maryland (take her children) and file there. I know of a few cases involving these two states (from both gender sides) and men win in PA (win=don't have to pay a penny), women win in Maryland (I know of a case where the woman got a divorce a long time after she left her husband and took the kids to Maryland and filed. The state of Maryland went after this guy and forced a ton of money out of him. They REALLY stick up for kids rights, well, womens rights....)





Just my experience. I can't guarantee 100% of cases but I've seen at least 3 or 4 couples go through divorce in these states, and the outcome happened to be always the same...Anyone Know? Do you have to be divorced in order to get child support for a child of that marriage?
I'm from PA and no I was not divorced and got child support.

oh my god.... f you.
She dosen't have to be divorced to receive child support.


If they've been married long enough, she may even get alimony or spousal support.





She'll leave when she's fed up. Anyone that makes excuses like this is simply not able (mentally) to leave the relationship.





Check the yellow pages for women's shelters. She may not need to go to a shelter, BUT they can give you some advice that may help you to help your daughter.





I'm terribly sorry that your family is going through this.
In Ohio you do not have to be divorced. Here you just go to Job and Family Services and apply and they will take care of it from there.
Of course not. She can apply for separate support, sometimes called a legal separation. She gets an order for him to leave the house, pay the house bills and pay child support. And if she needs it, a spousal abuse order for him to keep away from her and the children.
Get ahold of a lawyer. The first consultation is free.


The way the system is everywhere. You can not do anything that deals with this without a lawyer to protect your interests. And remember...grandparents have legal rights also.
No. All fathers must support their children. Good luck!
Not sure about Pa. In La., you do have to file for seperation. Check with an attorney.
nope you don't have to be, just go to family services or any family court.
My husband had refused to contribute to the household. i did file for child support while we were still married and living together and i won. i do live in PA.

I married my husband in a church in Cyprus, is the marriage legal in the UK?

At the time we could not afford to do the civil ceromony as well and planned to do it later. We are no longer together and I wondered if i need a divorce.I married my husband in a church in Cyprus, is the marriage legal in the UK?
All overseas marriages are recognized in UK ';IF'; the marriage was conducted according to the laws of the country where it was held. So you need to find out whether your marriage is officially recognized in Cyprus or not. If it is, then it is also valid in UK, provided you have a valid marriage certificate also.


You can also contact your local citizen advice bureau and they will guide you further.


In case you find out that your marriage is valid, then you do need to get a divorce. If you are a UK national and domiciled here or live here permanently, then you can apply to your local family court for divorce. It doesn't matter if your husband is in UK or not.


Remember ! That UK law states that you must me married for at least one year, before you can apply for a divorce.


Hope this helps.I married my husband in a church in Cyprus, is the marriage legal in the UK?
Go see a pope..


You wouldn't want to get married again with them telling you that your all ready married lol

Can my wife, who is Korean, get a working visa after marriage in USA?

I am a US citizen and my fiancee is a Korean national here on a student visa. We are getting married and I want to know if she can somehow immediately find work instead of waiting x amount of years for her green card.Can my wife, who is Korean, get a working visa after marriage in USA?
As soon as you get married, just file the paperwork to adjust her status. Her permission to work, get a ss#, and drivers license will come in 2-5 months. It will take 8 months, give or take, for the whole process to be finished and her to get the green card.


Good luck.


Belle





EDIT: Sweetdaddy....he said she was here on a student visa, so she is here legally. It also doesn't matter if she from north or south.Can my wife, who is Korean, get a working visa after marriage in USA?
Yes, but not exactly immediately. It may take a few months for


processing. After marriage the primary necessary forms are


I-130 and I-485 to be filed concurrently. For the forms and


instructions see uscis.gov.
It does not take YEARS. A few months, if she is here legally ! Is she North, or South ?
hope not too many real Americans need work

OK nice people of yahoo would you rather save yourself till marriage?

Would you rather save yourself till marriage (not for any religion purposes or anything like that) just as a self respect act and a act of showing respect to your significant other. I know I would how many think it is a good moral or idea to do that? Thanks and be honest please.OK nice people of yahoo would you rather save yourself till marriage?
Yes,I'm in my thirties and still saving it.If it's a turn off for the guys ,oh well.It's not like you have a disease to give them.If a person can't respect you,you have to respect yourself,who else is going to do that for you.Stick to your morals and don't let people be mean to you.They have to me and the more they are the better and stronger it makes me.Hope this helps!OK nice people of yahoo would you rather save yourself till marriage?
not necessarily til marriage, but i'm definitely waiting til i find the right person. i also would have to willing to handle the possible consequences and the other person would too. I'm not about to have sex with someone, risk getting pregnant and then him leave.
yes, it is morally right, but as for me its as much a religious reason as a personal reason. I only want to give that special part away to my husband on our wedding night...think of how special, how romantic, how sweet that would be to share that together.
I don't want to save myself for marriage because I have no idea when that's going to be and I don't even know if i ever will get married due to my sexuality
yes.


i'm a christian so that's what i believe plus the respect thing. gurls don't need to be given there self's away like their not special or somthing!
yeah. totally. religion and other stuff

In india what is the best way to share finances after marriage.?

The couple are working and the boy is having huge ancestral property independently.Should he share his property with wife ? Should we share income or expenses or both ?In india what is the best way to share finances after marriage.?
I think, this is about mutual understanding between husband and wife. If both are committed to run the family with four hands, they will share their finances. If the boy is the independent owner of ancestral property, the wife has an automatic right to the property too. Hence there is no need to go into legal transfer of names or legal sharing.In india what is the best way to share finances after marriage.?
the boy can share his ancestral property by gift to his wife and can also share his money by depositing it in joint a/c. but there is a question of believe on his wife. is it there ?
why????????....It's always d man..who is forced to share...


When he is already sharing his life with u...??





If wife is earning...then she should demad any share frm her husband...


U shoulb more interested in his social life dan his';Ancestral'; property...

Do you think a couples' religion is a big factor in marriage?

Do you think it's important for both husband and wife to be the same faith?Do you think a couples' religion is a big factor in marriage?
Yes. IT can hurt your marriage later, and how you raise your children. One might want to raise there children a certain way, base on there beliefs, and the other will not have it. The kids will be confuse. One person will hate that the other do not agree with what they think, and it will lead to trouble. IF both have the same faith, they will think the same way and life will be great. The kids will be fine. Trust me, i know. If i could tell people one thing about marriage, that would be, to marry someone with the same faith. Life with them would be so much easier for you and your kids.Do you think a couples' religion is a big factor in marriage?
I am happy to hear you're married and that you lead a righteous life.

In the USA, the laws would allow a divorcee to take the children and the kids can become another faith. It's a touchy scenario. If both marriage partners share the same faith, it makes it easier , also with in-laws, extended family.

No...
ye sbeing of different religions for sure take its toll





my step family is catholic and my dads family is lutheran, and since im not catholic i will no longer go to cathlic services, not only that but when i did go i didnt do all the same prayers, and other things i didnt believe.


my dad now feels the same way, and my stpe mom is upset about it....
yes marrying into another faith is NOT permitted in Christianity.





It encourages children in marriage to be brought up non-Christian and it encourages the Christian partner to be tempted from their faith or having to see sin from the non-Christian partner.
@';Do you think it's important for both husband and wife to be the same faith?';





Yes.


Equally yoked...joined together in thought.


Under one God.








I'm speaking about the God of the Universe, Who's Son is YShua.





One man and one woman marriage.
It's only a big factor in a marriage if it's a big factor in the lives of the individuals getting married. In my marriage, it's no factor at all. It's completely irrelevant.
I think for the sake of all involved, the kids, parents and both families its a lot easier and healthier if they share the same faith. Marriage can be hard enough sometimes without adding differences in basic life beliefs.
Though having the same religious beliefs makes life much easier, there are plenty of people who don't.





It's not faith that matters most, it's respecting each other regardless.
Equally ';Yoked'; is always easier on the marriage.





(Yoked being that wooden harness that bonds two farm animals together when they have to plow a field)
Yes.





Amos 3:3


3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?


(KJV)
If a couple is meant to be together, they will open mindedly respect the others beliefs.
It's a factor; how big it is depends on the extent either spouse practices said religion.
Only if it's a big factor in their life.
yes I do.
