My ex-husband and I have equal rights but I haven't seen or spoken to my son in 3 years. He misses more school than he attends, had an ISS last week and is failing the majority of his classes, for the 2nd year in a row. Dropping out appears eminent. Can I request to terminate child support... Read more »

Assuming that the child support order was issued in Florida, a child's poor academic performance is not a reason to terminate child support. If the child drops out and gets a job the income that they earn could be a reason to modify the child support down. Speak with a local family lawyer for... Read more »

Hello, I'm a 16 year old from New Jersey, and I'm looking to move into a new family thats out of state. I do not have my parent's consent to move out, but I have the consent of the other family to move in with them. I do truly believe they can take care of me better than my current family.
answered on Jan 31, 2023
The short answer is no. The longer answer is that I am concerned that another family is willing to tell you that it's okay to move out of your house and move in with them without addressing the legality of your actions / their actions.

Will the judge listen or is there anyone else I need to go to .. Pasco county Florida
answered on Jan 31, 2023
To be heard in court on any issue you need to file a motion and request a hearing. If a hearing is already scheduled you need to be sure that your issue is noticed to be heard at the hearing. Seeing the judge in chambers as opposed to in the courtroom is at the discretion of the judge. Once you... Read more »

Can I pay the difference (credit card debt) if I want to keep her as my attorney
answered on Jan 31, 2023
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Assigned lawyers are not allowed to accept money from the client. Aside from that, based upon what you have said, your current lawyer is not on the panel for assigned lawyers. You will have to decide between paying your current lawyer the full hourly rate or...

However we signed and notarized the POA in the hospital as she is competent. He is going to try and say she wasn’t competent, what can I do to protect my mother and the POA we signed in the hospital?
answered on Jan 31, 2023
When a new POA is executed that revokes the prior POA, until people are notified that the old POA has been revoked, they might still honor it and follow instructions from the old agent. So the new POA should be given to health care providers, banks, financial advisors, insurance agents, etc. so... Read more »
How can we get this reversed he is 80 and in a rehabilitation center in Mississippi his wife recently passed away while they were in the hospital
answered on Jan 31, 2023
This is not a Family Law question. It is a trust and estate question. Also it may need to be posted in Mississippi rather than New York since that is where your father lives. It may depend on where the POA was executed. Repost in the appropriate area of law and jurisdiction.

Divorce case
answered on Jan 31, 2023
It depends on whether you are seeking temporary spousal support during the pendency of your divorce or post-divorce spousal maintenance.
You should consult your divorce attorney who will be more familiar with the facts and circumstances of your particular case.
My wife has placed a order of protection on me and she is the real abuser in our home. I have all of our email and text messages that we have exchanged between us while we were fighting. She is a verbal abuser, and she is also quite possibly a Narcissist also. The judge even gave her the question... Read more »

Your best course of action is to seek the advice of a divorce lawyer who has experience dealing with abusive situations and orders of protection. However, you should note that "verbal abuse" is not a ground for divorce or basis for issuance of an order of protection in South Carolina.

If you lost primary custody temporarily before the final hearing, but a third party had come forward and filed for emergency custody against the other parent, are you able to regain custody instead of the third party before the final hearing?
answered on Jan 30, 2023
You have not provided very many facts of your specific situation so it's impossible to suggest what might be appropriate for your case. That being said, custody determinations (either temporary or final) are always modifiable by the Family Court.

He has real estate as well as our house in his name only, and my mom wants her name put on the property as well. How can they go about switching ownership legally from just him to both of them, so that her name can also be on the deed?

Easy to transfer title ownership.
Your father can sign a deed from himself to both his wife and him, and probably as joint tenants, with right of survivorship so that when one dies, the other owns the entire property automatically. He then records the deed. There will be a fee for that by... Read more »

Normally you are expected to maintain the status quo, meaning that you should not make changes. If you have a legitimate concern regarding the dad's wife that you can explain to the court then perhaps you can make the change. However, if you do not, this change could be held against you as...
