Can the judge order the applicant to take care of the child?

Anonymous Asked:

Form 8A. A simple divorce filed and the wife answered it, she requested the court to order the applicant to partly take care of the child, e.g. mon-tue-wed, child with the husband and the rest of the week with the wife. The applicant leave everything to the wife and low income, can the judge order the applicant to take care the child? Does the applicant need to response the Answer from the wife? Thanks in advance for your response.

Thank you for your question. First, I strongly recommend that you have the Application reviewed by a lawyer. If you call me at 877-668-9386 you can make arrangements to e-mail it to me and I am happy to provide you with a free consultation once I have read it. However, I cannot offer any comments on the issued Application without first reading it. I will state that it is very important that the Respondent does file an Answer in response to it, within the time permitted, so that a Default Order is not made against the Respondent.

(The information provided above is general, not legal advice, as circumstances vary from case to case. Thus, if you wish legal advice that you can rely upon for your specific case, please contact Douglas Briand for a free consultation).
