You have sole legal and residential custody of your daughter, and your ex has only 2 supervised visits with her per week because the court was convinced that he has serious mental health issues, making him a danger to your daughter. The fact that he is scamming others for money supports your claim... Read more »
Does that legally mean it’s just her money or would that money have to go into an estate and be split

Bank accounts that have a payable on death beneficiary designation on them pass outside of probate. That means if your father-in-law named someone as a beneficiary to his bank account, the money belongs to that person, and that person alone, upon your father-in-law's death. That person (she?)...

It's hard to get an attorney to agree to a partial representation. That's like asking a surgeon to help you while you do your own gall bladder surgery. It's not a good idea to represent yourself in something like this. You will be held to the same standard as an attorney as far as... Read more »
And it’s mine, currently the home is technically still hers, so I don’t know if there is anything I can do about my aunt going into my home without permission. The home is in Texas btw
answered on Oct 5, 2022
You will need to repost your question with some more facts, such as whether there is a lease, what does "technically still hers" mean and 1100 what?. You will also need to repost this to a category for Texas. The laws vary from state to state.

Got married in California moved to Pennsylvania, decide to part ways, gave up custody, I move back to California. Trying to remarry right now. I have the original marriage certificate.

Divorce occurs after a petition for dissolution is filed and entry of judgment of dissolution. Giving up custody does not automatically result in divorce. It doesn’t work like that.
We recently purchased a home and my dad is married to someone that is not my mother. Would his rights of the property transfer to me or would it be handed over to his spouse.

If you are not in any way related to these children, and sometimes even if you are related, a parent absolutely has the right to prevent you from communicating with their children. Absent certain circumstances, a PARENT of a child(ren) has a more superior right to their child(ren) than ANYONE else.... Read more »
When my husband filed for custody of his children, he hired an attorney, and he was told that since his ex-wife did not have an attorney, the attorney had to advise her in their child custody case. Is that true?
answered on Oct 4, 2022
No. An attorney only works for one person. If you want legal advice, you need to get your own attorney.
Will the person get anything if they separate after 10 years of being together ? What if new house has both people on the deed ?

This is a little confusing and more information is needed. Speak with a local attorney. [I litigate cases. Anything posted here must not be construed as legal advice, nor as grounds for forming an attorney-client relationship. You should seek an attorney for formal legal advice and representation.]

If nothing has been filed with the domestic relations court, and no protection order has been issued to keep him away, then since you are still married, you have no right to exclude him. If you file to terminate the marriage, then could ask the court to grant you exclusive occupancy. Use the Find... Read more »

How old is your girlfriend? I'm not sure one issue has much to do with the other; one's a tax issue and the other is a relationship issue.

answered on Oct 4, 2022
The court would consider what is in the best interests of the child. That said, with a custody order in place, you are generally bound by such an order. However, if obeying with it would endanger the health, safety, and welfare of the child, you can seek an ex parte emergency order for a temporary... Read more »

How long will the recovery center be? Generally you have a right to be in your child's life. If the court determines you to be unfit or unable to care for the child (e.g., while you are in a recovery center) they can award temporary custody to the father; you can then petition to change...

This is a child support case in California. Wondering if there is a family law code or case law that prohibit the use of waiving arrears as part of a family law agreement. Would rather waive back amounts owed than go through a lengthy court battle if consent is not given.
answered on Oct 4, 2022
Child support generally is waivable, but ONLY IF the court determines that the needs of the child can be adequately met in the absence of support. That is to say, you can settle on the issue of child support; but the court must specifically grant approval of this to ensure that the children are... Read more »

You must appear in court to answer the petition. The fact that she is petitioning for custody does not mean that she will be given custody. Because she is a non-parent, she would have to first show extraordinary circumstances, such as abandonment or neglect on your part. She would then have to... Read more »
