Divorce
Help U File is perfect for many divorce situations. In many marriages there are no children, and little or no property to be divided. Thus, all that is necessary is to secure a Judgment of Divorce. It is not complicated to do so, IF someone points you in the right direction by explaining the procedure, the steps to follow, and drafts a proper Complaint for Divorce that you can file with the Court.

Upon receipt we can determine if your matter is appropriate for the HELP U FILE approach.

Child Support Modifications
Often times a party to a divorce will want to modify the child support after a Judgment of Divorce has been entered. In these instances a Motion can be filed requesting the the Court modify the previously entered Judgment, either by raising or lowering the child support that is being paid.
In this regard, there are a number of factors that the Court considers when making these determinations. Obviously, a party’s income level can change, thus making a difference in the calculated amount to be paid. There are also other factors that play into these calculations, including such things as the amount of parenting being exercised. Feeding these factors into the child support prognosticator can determine, in most cases, what the support figures will be, and therefore determine, in large part the eventual outcome. Therefore, a proper pleading can be drafted, and with some advice, the litigant can determine what course to take.
Parenting Time Modifications
Many times, as well, parties to a finalized divorce case, wish to modify the parenting time that is spent with the children, and where and how that parenting time is exercised. The Court uses a twelve point checklist of factors as laid out in the Child Custody Act in reviewing child support. Again, with the proper amount of input a Motion can be drafted, highlighting the factors important to your case to be emphasized in a Motion attempting to modify parenting time or defend against such a Motion.
Beside the time involved in parenting time, there are other things to be considered. For example, if a person’s past bad acts or irresponsibility should cause the parenting time to be exercised under some type of supervision. Or perhaps where the parenting time should, or should not be exercised. Although these factors can cause a matter to be too complex to go it alone, there are times that, with the proper advice, one can attempt to modify the Court’s prior Order, or Judgment.
By providing us with information we need to judge such an attempt to modify the parenting time we can advise you as to your chances of success. We have provided a form which can give us some insight into your particular situation.
Paternity Matters
In cases where a child is born to parties that are not married, a paternity case can be initiated, in much the same way a divorce case is. In those cases, paternity is determined if it is being disputed, and the custody of the child, along with child support and parenting time can be set out in a paternity judgment (an Order of Filiation). Similarily, if such an action is initiated against you, we can help you file an Answer to the Complaint and explain to you what to expect as the case unfolds and what you can do to protect yourself from baseless claims through the use of paternity tests or other means, and also to make sure that if you are the parent, reasonable child support and parenting time.
Again, we need to know about the situation that presents itself in these instances. Therefore, we again need to be provided with the information that is requested in the forms provided for such cases.
