⚖️ What to Do If Your Ex Won't Communicate About the Kids. | Los Angeles Divorce

⚖️ What Happens If One Parent Refuses to Follow the Visitation Schedule? | Los Angeles Divorce ⚖️ A visitation schedule is more than just a calendar—it is part of a custody arrangement that helps create consistency for children and both parents. When one parent repeatedly refuses to follow the agreed or court-ordered schedule, it can create confusion and frustration. The best approach is to stay organized, document missed exchanges or changes, and understand the proper steps available to address custody concerns.

⚖️ What Happens If Your Ex Quits Their Job to Avoid Child Support? | Los Angeles Divorce Some parents worry that an ex can avoid child support simply by quitting their job. In California, it's usually not that simple. Courts may look beyond a person's current income and evaluate their earning capacity. If a judge determines that a parent voluntarily left employment or is intentionally underemployed to reduce support obligations, the court may consider imputing income based on what that person is capable of earning. This video explains how California courts evaluate these situations and why voluntarily leaving a job does not automatically eliminate child support responsibilities.

⚖️ What If We Agree on Divorce but Disagree on One Issue? | Los Angeles Divorce ⚖️ Many couples agree that they want a divorce but may still have one or two issues they need to resolve before finalizing their agreement.

By focusing on the specific issue, reviewing available options, and properly documenting the final agreement, couples may be able to continue moving toward resolution.

⚠️ What If Your Ex Declares Financial Hardship After Divorce? | Los Angeles Divorce What happens if your ex claims they can no longer afford court-ordered support after divorce? In California, support obligations do not automatically change because someone says they're experiencing financial hardship. A party seeking a modification must generally show a significant change in circumstances and provide evidence supporting the request. This video explains how courts evaluate financial hardship claims, when support may be modified, and why documentation matters.

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm addressing the divorcee community and I'm going straight to the Bible.Why does God say He hates divorce? What does Scripture actually teach about marriage, covenant, divorce, and the responsibilities of husbands and wives? And why have divorce rates become so incredibly high, particularly as wives increasingly initiate divorce over reasons that, from a biblical perspective, are trivial, selfish, or completely unbiblical?This is not a message designed to just shame people who have experienced divorce. It is a challenge to the culture that has normalized abandoning marriage whenever things become difficult, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. We need to be willing to distinguish between legitimate biblical grounds for divorce and the endless list of modern excuses we've created to justify walking away from a sacred covenant.And that's not all we're discussing.I'm also talking about Donald Trump's continued failures, the gap between political promises and political reality, and why Americans should be questioning the decisions being made in our name.Plus, we're talking about the Iran War and why I believe this conflict is unnecessary and why Americans should be asking whether another foreign war actually serves the interests of the United States.Marriage. Divorce. Biblical truth. Trump. Iran. War. Political accountability.I'm saying what I believe needs to be said, even when it isn't popular (as usual).--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app
