Custody, Visitation, Child Support and a Stalled Divorce Case

February 19, 2020 By moderncourts

Mary is the custodial mother. She and the non-custodial father are married, but separated. Parties came to Family Court to establish orders of custody, visitation and child support. After this, they initiated the divorce proceeding, which is currently stalled. Mother has filed to increase child support and her case was dismissed because of the pending divorce action in Supreme Court. Mother’s options are limited as a pro se litigant. She can either pay her divorce attorney to file additional paperwork to deal with this issue in Supreme Court, or the mother would simply have to wait for the divorce to finalize before she can once again bring it in front of Family Court.
