The car I use to go and get and drop her off with is having brake problems.
If the agreement says that you have to do all the pick-ups and drop-offs, then it is your responsibility to do it. He should cooperate under the circumstances but he doesn't have to.
And was told I might not qualify for a free court appointed attorney. What other options do I have?
Thank you,
Check with the local bar association and see if there is a reduced fee panel they can send you to.
First send him a letter asking for a meeting. If that doesn't work, you can request that judge on the case appoint another lawyer for you based upon the lack of communication.
Each of you have the right to take the children anywhere you think is appropriate. If you think that a place is dangerous you can discuss that with the mother or go to court and try to get a court order stopping her from going. If you are talking about relocating, then she would need either your... Read more »
I have asked my ex-wife to discuss with her partner and I but she is refusing to communicate with me.
My sons (12 and 14) have reported to me that my ex's partner is mean and physically grabbed one of them 1 month ago. I reached out to CPS but since the latest incident happened in... Read more »
You cannot withhold support unless you get a court order to do so. You say the incident happened in France but don't say where the children live. If they live in NY, you can go to Family Court and ask for an order of protection on their behalf.
He has been threatening me for years in kicking me out for no reason and threatening to call the cops on me.He called the police on me and lied to them telling them I steal his stuff, and that I get violent.When in fact he is the aggressor. He goes around to neighbors and spreads lies about me.I... Read more »
If you are under age you can file for support, if you are an adult your only recourse is a quick trial.
The order of visitation is a court order that needs to be followed. If you don't follow it then you are in contempt. Try working this out with the other parent. See if they will agree to a test here in NY for the virus.
My child support arrangement was unique in that we each agreed to cover 60 / 40 % respectively. I received a judgment for $30 k which is currently being violated and with support enforcement on the trail. My kids are now adults. If i don’t call this judgement out in a will , is it lost? It’s...

If the money is owed to you then the money will be collected until paid in full. If you should die before it is fully collected it is paid to your estate.
I have a NYS Family Law question regarding Custody/Guardianship.
I currently have a court date scheduled for Guardianship of my cousin’s children who were removed from her care in June by CPS due to severe abuse & neglect along with mental illness and drug use.
The court date... Read more »
Since you have guardianship of the children you can file a writ in Family Court for their return that would get you into court much sooner. At the same time you can file for guardianship of the other child.
I was going to leave and he said that if I did, he would only let me take one, not both. He said that in ny I have no more rights to them then he does and so the cops cannot get involved. That they cannot stop me from leaving with them but that if he is physically holding one, they cannot make him... Read more »
To begin with, if there is no acknowledgement of paternity signed by both of you he is not legally the father in NY until he goes to court and gets an Order of Filiation. If there is an acknowledgement, you can just leave with both children when he is not around and then file for custody in Family... Read more »
You say it is on the "transcript", if it is on the COURT transcript then the court should modify the order and there is nothing to sign. It the transcript is something else it probably doesn't comply with the requirements to modify an agreement. You should take it to a lawyer and... Read more »
It does not sound like an appropriate question.
If you are seeking to do the divorce on your own, you can either download the required documents and instructions on the NY Courts website or go the the Bronx Supreme Court and pick up a pro-se divorce packet (which contains the forms and documents). If you are looking or a lawyer, call the Bronx... Read more »
ex acknowledges agreement. should our newer agreement supersede older divorce agreement? Should i win court case?
The problem you will probably run into is that your divorce agreement probably has a clause that says the agreement can only be modified by a writing acknowledged in a certain way. If you didn't follow that requirement, you probably won't win.
Most stips allow for a modification. You should check your stip to see if it does and what the procedure is to modify the stip. If you don't follow the procedure as required, the modification isn't binding.
I have 2 siblings whom dont get the same treatment that I do and both of my parents are in law enforcement, I'm not gonna specify what they do to me because I dont wanna type it but lets just say it takes up my entire day and leaves me with no time for school work. My mom is abused as well but... Read more »
Unfortunately, the only way to terminate parental rights is for the Department of Social Services to file neglect petitions against your parents. Once you are 18 and self supporting, you no longer have to have contact with your parents if you don't want. At this time you have to either stick... Read more »

He can amend the papers or you answer the papers with your own action for a divorce including the correct information and submit what you want in any decree. At that point, your husband can agree to what you have asked or the two of you can appear in court and work it out quickly.
Based upon what you have indicated, there should be no problem getting custody
Child support deposited the 18k but not the 10 it’s posted to my child support account as a payment but I can’t access it are they going to keep it
They won't keep it. If the extra 10 was a "gift" and was not part of any order, then Child Support will likely send the money back to the father.
I am a 15 year old, female, and I believe that my situation has crossed into abusive and neglectful. My mother has over the years shown signs of hateful behavior towards me and refuses to see me as anything other than my father, whom she has left as of 5 years ago. It hurts yes, but I seek an...

It would be difficult for you to become emancipated as you cannot support yourself. You can however, report what is going on to the Department of Social Services who will investigate and take action if things are as bad as you say.
