Your current state is Virginia
I read that ky is one a few states that allowed corporal punishment in the home. So my question is if that is true than why does CPS make is seem like it's an issue for a parent to reasonably discipline their child
Despite the law, the courts snd CPS do not sanction corporal punishment for any reason.
You will need to provide some additional information to get a useful answer such as:
Are you wanting to adopt a child or an adult? (It makes a big difference)
Is everyone in Oklahoma?
Easiest way to get an answer is to call an attorney to discuss the details. The attorney... Read more »
I love in Oklahoma and he's currently at an air force base in ND WITH hisband and their 3 kids
Can you please clarify your question. Not really sure what exactly you are asking.
Would like to know.process and cost
Please contact my office for a free consultation. There are many factors that come into play in an adoption and in order to get an accurate assessment then there are more questions to be asked than can be done in this forum.
I'm at my wits end. He won't listen to me or his dad. He has been truant from school most of the past school year. He has run away and continues to threaten to run away even after the cops found and brought him home. What do I do?
This is not a legal question. I would suggest you get family counseling. These sorts of behavioral issues are better addressed by psychologists and psychiatrists than by lawyers.
He has never met his child and we have had zero contact. I am just curious as to what some of my options might be going forward.
You can commence a Paternity action and seek support orders; both parties have the duty to support their child and if there are public benefits involved, the government has the ability to go forward to seek paternity adjudication regardless of whether you are interested in pursuing the matter.
I have a case where 2 first cousins faked a wedding, represented themselves as husband and wife, this also included to CPS and the family court in Michigan. Years later they obtained a marriage license from Virginia and now are promoting that no laws were violated since they did not legally marry... Read more »
Not sure what you're looking for. Marriage is a civil matter; if the marriage is invalid under Michigan law - which you are right, marriage between first cousins would be - then it would be voidable, not illegal in the criminal sense. And generally, Michigan will recognize a marriage made in... Read more »
There is no set age. Whatever age you snd the father agree on or whatever age the court orders.
Keep a journal of when you have her and when the father has or sees her. Note any snd all occurrences in the journal as they happen so you’ll have an accurate record for the court.
One is 3 one will be a year in two days and has down syndrome
If you are willing and able to take care of the children, then a guardianship may be a good option for you. You should speak with an experienced attorney to discuss details about how to undertake that.
If he is trying to move 90 miles away ( distance calculated by how the crow flies) is he going against the courts ordered Document? Should I file with the courts?
I believe you will find that the child can't be relocated outside of the 50 mile radius without permission; it doesn't prohibit the parent from moving. Check the court order to be sure.
The noncustodial parent does not have custody and has not paid anything since it was ordered by court during the divorce finalization.
Would have to see what you are taking about but, if a hearing for instance was stricken that means basically that the hearing was cancelled.
I am in the military, and I want to adop my 15 year old brother. He lives with my stepfather and my mother lives in mexIco. I’m stationed in NC and my brother lives in California. How can I adopt him so I could bring him to live with me.
The adoption process is a state law issue and if he currently lives in California then you will need to speak with a family law attorney there. Adoption may not even be necessary, depending on the purpose of the adoption. You may able to just have a custody order. You should also research what... Read more »

See an attorney about suing the father for visitation.
I really depends why she doesn't want to see if. If he is abusive, you can file a private custody action seeking to keep her away from him. If she's just 12 and being difficult, you may have to tell her the visitation schedule in the visitation schedule and it isn't optional anymore... Read more »
There isn't enough information that proves Copeland seen the child after the visit to the ER. The ER doctor didn't mention anything about the child being strangled then. How can one say for sure that the mother didn't hurt the baby in the time from the ER discharge to the arrival of... Read more »

My child support case hasnt been reviewed in many years. If its reviewed, is there a chance of owing retroactive support?
There is a chance, although probably very unlikely. The earliest a child support modification becomes effective is generally the month after the action to increase child support was filed. This can be later if the party wasn't served the same month the case was filed. You also aren't... Read more »
they were removed from my care based on lies stated from a officer which I have solid proof that accusations were untrue. The state took emergency custody based off of this lie of a statement. How do I stand up for myself?
When a child is removed from a parent due to allegations of abuse or neglect, the parent will be appointed an attorney at the first hearing if they can't afford counsel. If you can't afford an attorney, you should request an attorney appointed and then speak with the attorney about your... Read more »
