The answer will depend on where your wife and children are located, because that is where you will have to take your stand. I am not a family law lawyer, and am only licensed to practice in California.

social worker says hell set up visits then avoids me what can i do
answered on Sep 12, 2021
While it depends on how your case was closed and what local practice customs suggest, I recommend keeping a log of your attempts to see the children and your attempts to set up visits via the case worker. After documenting several of these attempts, talk to a lawyer about filing a motion to get a... Read more »

Sorry to hear you are experiencing these problems. You can obtain a Civil Harassment restraining order by applying to the court for one. Most of these are done by people without attorneys, but it really helps to have one.
Im going to be 17 in 9 months, but I’d like to leave my home now. I would have a steady place to live and a full way of getting to school. Is there any legal way my mom can force me back if I runaway without her knowing?
answered on Sep 11, 2021
Yes, you can be forced back, unless you are a legally emancipated minor. There are forms on the Court website and information online on how to do this. I suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.
answered on Sep 11, 2021
Go to the website for the court in which the case is pending. There will be a place for you to find "forms" which you can search for the kind of form you are looking for. Family Law is a very complex area, I would suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.

answered on Sep 10, 2021
Retain legal counsel. You need to make the right arguments, properly submit your evidence and properly cite the law in responding to the father's requests. A 50/50 schedule between two counties for a 10 month old is unlikely going to be seen by the judge as in the child's best interests.

I THINK THIS IS BETTER ASKED OF FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS, NOT CRIMINAL.
IF HE AGREES TO TAKE HIS NAME OFF, MAKE AN APPT WITH A LOCAL LAWYER WHO HANDLES CASES LIKE THIS TO SEE WHAT HE WOULD CHARGE TO ADD TO THE CALENDAR AND PREPARE THE MOVING PAPERS TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.

If, as you suggest, the court investigator’s report contains provable lies and the recommendations contained therein are based on those lies, you should contact the court investigator immediately to show them what evidence you have.

answered on Aug 26, 2021
Sounds like your daughter lives in NYC and has lived there for the past 3 years. California does not have jurisdiction to make any custody orders. You will need to consult with a NY licensed attorney on this matter.
This guardianship is completely unjust, it has been done behind my back when i asked my sister for help she agreed no court involvement, signed the notarized document in a green ink.

I am paying child support and have been considered present less that 10% of the time. However, my child’s mother does not want to give my child to me.

Sounds like you are paying support without any enforceable court orders regarding custody. If you want custodial time with your child, you need to petition the court for those orders. Otherwise, Mom can pretty much do whatever she wants.

You open with saying that no custody orders exist. If no custody orders exist then what the father is doing is not in violation of any court orders. That's why the police can't help you. File a parentage action and ask for sole legal and physical custody. Concurrently with your... Read more »
