FAQ
Either parent can ask the judge to change parenting time in an existing family law case by filing a motion to change parenting time. It could be a divorce, separate maintenance, custody, paternity, or family support case, but there must already be a custody order or judgment in the case.
In some circumstances, you file a petition or a motion. The court has several complaint forms that you may use in drafting your complaint. The forms are available online and at the Pro Se Intake Unit. You may also write your own complaint without using a court form.
Oral motion - You can make a motion verbally (orally) while in court. This can be at the initial appearance, at a status appearance, or during a hearing. Usually, you can use an oral motion when the request is not complicated, or if it is an urgent request that you are hoping the judge will grant that day.
To request a continuance regarding your DALA case, you (the party seeking the continuance or "the moving party") should submit a written request (a "motion") at least seven (7) days before the event. You can send your request by mail, fax, or e-mail.
If the support order is part of a “judgment,” a complaint for modification as well as a motion to reduce support must be filed and properly served on the other party before the court will consider changing the support order. Child support arrears cannot be forgiven by the court.
Is there a Massachusetts Statute of Limitation on Child Support? No, there is no statute of limitation on court-ordered child support for children under eighteen years. The order is still enforceable for past-due child support and retroactive child support even after the child attains maturity.
If the other parent does not agree to dismiss the child support arrearage, file a motion in court and ask a judge to dismiss the arrearage. Then, ask the judge to schedule a hearing date. At the hearing, you will be allowed to present evidence as to why the judge should dismiss the arrearage.
The good news is yes, child support arrears can potentially be forgiven. You would need to have a joint petition filed along with the other parent though, showing that you are both in mutual agreement and jointly requesting that the arrears be waived or forgiven.
If a child expresses a desire not to see their father, it is generally recommended to address the situation through the legal system. Parents may need to go back to court to seek modifications to the existing custody arrangement, presenting evidence and arguments to support any changes.
A: A child can refuse to see a parent when they become an adult. In Massachusetts, children can express their desires regarding how much time they spend with each parent. However, there is no age at which this will control the outcome.
