Your attorney gave you good, but hard to hear, advice. Judges HATE awarding attorney's fees, and you would just have had to pay your attorney more to ask the court for them. Swallow hard and move on. Your attorney did you a favor by not running her bill up.

In Michigan, paternity is a VERY complicated legal issue. WHile I know that, as the husband of the mother, you are considered the legal father, I am not sure whether or not that can be overturned. You should find a lawyer with experience in this area. Good Luck.

In Utah, no, not without a court order allowing it. In fact, here's a little-known (and frankly, little-enforced, even when it is known) law governing your situation: Utah Code Section 30-2-10, entitled "Homestead rights Custody of children". It provides, in pertinent part: "Neither the husband nor wife can remove the other or their children from the homestead without the consent of the other, unless the owner of the property shall in good faith provide another homestead suitable to the condition in life of the family[.]"...

It really shouldn't make much of a difference. I don't see how your pension would be affected. If you want to be divorced, just go ahead and file. Good Luck.

You have no rights legally to the home under the law. In equity, in all fairness, you do have a claim and it will be determined by the specific facts and proofs in your case. Hire a very good attorney and be prepared for a fight.

It depends upon all of the circumstances, the ages of the children, the history of the child care arrangements betweeen the two of you, and everything else. If you work and he doesn't and he has taken the major share of kid duties because of this, he will stand a good chance of being able to continue in that role if he wishes to do so. All of the facts surrounding the kids and the relationships are very relevant. It is impossible to opine further without more facts. Good Luck.... Read More
