Question

Court order states no significant other while in custody of the child. Does this mean girlfriend/boyfriend or also includes legal spouse? Also the child is 24 months, does this apply only until the child turns 3?



Answer

A spouse becomes a "relative" so it no longer applies if the people marry.

You need to read your decree. It is usually until further order of the court but I cannot say unless I personally read your decree.

If you don't understand, then find an attorney in your county to meet with in person and discuss the details of your case.



Answer

A significant other includes a spouse or common law spouse, if they state acknowledges a common law union.

It does not include a boyfriend or girlfriend.

The order would be enforceable until the child(ren) turns 18, if they drop-out of school; or until they graduate from high school.
