Will a judge increase child support to cover daycare costs?

Child support for my children was set over three years ago when I was not working. I have recently returned to employment and I now have to place my youngest son in daycare as he is not yet school age. The current child support doesn’t cover any daycare costs and the cost is substantial as I need daycare for 40 hours per week. Can my child support be increased to cover part of these additional daycare costs? How do I file for a child support modification in Virginia and do I need a lawyer to represent me or do I do it myself? I live in the Richmond area.

Does my husband’s bigamy affect my divorce proceedings?

My divorce from my Muslim husband is pending in court in Charlotte. Despite this, I have learned that my husband married someone else at the mosque and is now living with her. He is not paying me any financial support or paying our household bills but he is now supporting a new wife. What affect does this have on my divorce proceedings? I am not happy with my current lawyer, what do I need to do to replace him with a new lawyer? I want a lawyer who understands Muslim culture and Islamic law to represent me.

Which parent has custody rights when there is no court order?

My wife and I are splitting up and we have three children. She says that when I move out of the house, the children are staying with her and she’ll decide when I get to see them. I have been advised that I can’t go to court to file for a divorce or for custody until she and I are no longer living together. I want to know if that is true. If it is, who has custody rights to our children until we are able to get into court and have a judge decide? Can she really keep me from them if there is no custody order in place? Am I within my rights to just go and get them from the house after I leave?
