		<description><![CDATA[Hi, I just finalized my divorce this month, in the state of Arizona.  My ex and I have 3 children together.  In the papers I agreed that my ex would claim the oldest each year, and the youngest every other year.  I just went on the IRS website and realized that I did not have to agree to this, the court mediator said I didn't have a choice that I had to let him claim the children that way because he was paying support for the kids, (althought he hasn't paid anything since he moved out, a year ago.) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have an MDA that states that I cannot co-habitate or remarry without losing my alimony, however I have just been laid off from my job. I have an opportunity to sublease my home and share a residence in order to avoid foreclosure. Would this be reason enough to petition the court to reopen my case and strike this restriction? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My parents, who were never legally married, separated in 2004 and my dad has never supported us or me in any way.  Although we used to keep in touch, I recently asked him to send some money for school and medical reasons and he refused and is no longer returning my calls.  I feel like I have to do something, as we are struggling financially.  We live in Washington state and I wondered if it's possible to get the past 6 years worth of child support.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since his divorce we have had another baby, also their tuition has went up again this year.  We just can't afford it anymore.  His attorney hasn't really been helping us, so I was just wondering if there was some way we could go in front of a judge have our case heard.  We cannot afford the retainer fee for another attorney, and I want to file some sort of motion, but I don't know what type of motion to file for this situation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does alimony still have to be paid when the x-spouse files and receives social security benefits off of the one paying alimony or do the two combined just have to equal the amount? For example: alimony is $1,000.00 a month and social security she receives would be $800.00.....would only $200.00 need to be paid out of pocket to equal the $1,000.00? If not, how does it work?]]></description>
