As of May 2026, the U.S. State Department has implemented a significant policy change regarding child support and passport management. The department is now actively revoking existing passports and denying new applications for parents who owe $2,500 or more in child support. This shift marks a move from a reactive to a proactive enforcement strategy aimed at individuals with significant child support arrears.📣 If you’re representing yourself in a divorce, custody and or child support, we have resources available for free at: FamilyCrt.com🎙️If you would like to share your story dealing with the family court or a difficult ex, email us at: familycourtqa (at) gmail.com 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay informed!Please like, comment and subscribe.

On April 13, 2026, lawmakers in Mississippi signed a new law called House Bill 1662. This law is important because it helps make sure that children get to spend time with both parents after a divorce. Starting on July 1, 2026, the law will assume that having equal time (50-50) with each parent is what is best for the child.What Does This Law Mean?1. Equal Time with Parents: When a couple gets divorced, the court will start by saying that both parents should have equal time with the child. This means the child will spend half of their time with one parent and half with the other, unless someone can show that this would not be good for the child.2. Changing the Presumption: If a parent believes that 50-50 time is not best for their child, they must provide strong evidence to prove it. The court will consider this evidence and can decide to change the arrangement if necessary.3. Documenting Decisions: If the court decides not to follow the equal time rule, they must write down why this decision was made. However, if both parents agree on a different plan, they can use that instead.4. Child Support Adjustments: The law also changes how child support payments are calculated when parents have equal or nearly equal time with their child.Why is This Law Important?Mississippi is now the sixth state to support shared parenting. The law was passed with a lot of support, showing that many people believe it will help families. The vote was overwhelming, with the House approving it 90 to 10 and the Senate 39 to 10. Supporters think that this law will lead to fewer court battles between parents after a divorce. However, some people, including some judges, worry that this approach might not suit every family since each situation can be different.📣 If you’re representing yourself in a divorce, custody and or child support, we have resources available for free at: FamilyCrt.com🎙️If you would like to share your story dealing with the family court or a difficult  ex, email us at: familycourtqa (at) gmail.com 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay informed!Please like, comment and subscribe.

Kevin Davis, the police chief of Fairfax County, reported on Thursday that a tragic murder occurred during a complicated divorce between Justin and Cerina, who were still living together. This incident happened right after Justin received divorce papers, and he was set to appear in court on April 21.Justin and Cerina got married in 2006 but began separating in June 2024. Cerina filed for divorce, claiming Justin failed to follow their prenuptial agreement. She accused him of not paying for their children's school fees, household bills, groceries, or mortgage, leaving her to support the family financially.Justin disputed Cerina's claims, arguing that her wish to be separated while living together was unreasonable. Cerina then alleged that Justin was an alcoholic with serious accusations of sexual assault against him. She claimed that he neglected their finances, causing their home to go into foreclosure while he spent money on trips for others and racked up nearly $30,000 in credit card debt.Although he was ordered to appear in court on April 10, just three days later, both Justin and Cerina were found d*ad. Before this tragedy, Justin served as the lieutenant governor of Virginia from 2018 to 2022. His career was marred by scandals, including allegations of s*xual assault from two women, which surfaced when he was in line to become governor.If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or visit thehotline.org for 24/7 confidential support.

In a tragic incident, former Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax and his wife Cerina, were found d*ad in their Annandale home. Police reported that this heartbreaking event occurred amid a complicated divorce. Fairfax, a once-prominent figure in the Democratic Party, faced serious allegations of sexual assault in the past, which damaged his political career.Cerina, a successful dentist and caring mother, was discovered with multiple gunshot wounds inflicted by her husband before he took his own life. Their teenage children were at home during the ordeal and called 911 for help. Police believe the couple had been living separately in their home while going through a divorce process, with Cerina having filed for it recently.The investigation revealed that security cameras inside the home contradicted Justin’s previous claims that Cerina had assaulted him. The police had visited their home earlier this year due to his accusations, but the footage showed no such incident had occurred.Both Justin and Cerina had strong personal connections in the community, and many friends and local leaders expressed their sorrow over the tragedy. Governor Abigail Spanberger highlighted the importance of acknowledging that domestic violence can affect any family and encouraged those in similar situations to seek help.Support for the children remains a priority, with the police department assisting during this difficult time. The Fairfax family was well-known in their community, making this event particularly heart-wrenching for those who knew them.📣 If you’re representing yourself in a divorce, custody, and or child support, we have resources available for free at: FamilyCrt.com🎙️If you would like to share your story dealing with the family court or a difficult  ex, email us at: familycourtqa (at) gmail.com 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay informed!Please like, comment and subscribe.
