Depends on how title to the property is held; whether daughter has contributed any money to the house over the 20 years. She most likely has a claim of some degree that can keep her there. She needs to talk to a lawyer immediately.

His dad has since moved our son to New Mexico without even telling me. What can I do
answered on Nov 25, 2022
You can probably regain visitation but one would have to review the file and the rulings that are in place. Additionally, the case may have to be litigated going forward in New Mexico under the UCCJA.

No private party may require a non-party to do anything. If you believe the father is requiring a non-party to obey your Decree of Divorce, then please disabuse yourself of this belief. This also has nothing to do with how far your child lives from the father. The ONLY considerations you should... Read more »

No, the appeal is based on the evidence presented at trial or information presented to the Family Court judge. You cannot present new evidence on appeal. You could try making a motion to reargue or renew in Family Court.
