He thinks he is entitled to claim our son; he works OT every week half on books half off. He claimed him this year and screwed me. He doesn’t even dress him in clothes that fit him. He also doesn’t think dinner visits are acceptable as in order and rather than listen to him complain I gave in... Read more »
Under IRS rules, the custodial parent is the one that claims the child. This may be changed if you sign the appropriate IRS form releasing the exemption or there is a written agreement between the two of you that says he gets to claim the child.
The courts want his DNA only to exclude him if there is a paternity petition brought by another man. In NY a child born of the marriage is considered a child of the married parties.
In any divorce decree, there is usually a recitation in regard to children or that none are expected. If there is a child expected, that would usually be noted. No matter what, even if this were overlooked, you can always go to Family Court and bring on a paternity proceeding where he could be... Read more »
Hi i'm married with an american man. i'm pregnant of his baby and i live in Italy.
He doesnt want to have a baby with me, for his problems with his kids from his previous marriage
He wants from me an abortion.
Your husband does not have to be at the hospital. Under NY law, a child born during the marriage is a child OF the marriage which means he is automatically the father.
Yes my grandma is 83 years I’m 28 my mom is 57
Since you are over the age of 21 you can see your mom unless there is some sort of court order that prohibits that.

He cannot force you to make a change if you do not want to. He can bring the matter to court and the court will decide what is in the children's best interests. You should be aware, that the usual visitation schedule is every other weekend and 1 night for dinner each week. You can however... Read more »
The question isn't clear. However, if you are asking when the statute "runs its course" to mean the last date that arrears can be sought, then the answer is 20 years from the last date that support was due. That would be a defense in an action for arrears and would only be used at that time.
haven't filed yet but I think my husband might soon.
I don't work and haven't in a while. I'm dependent on my husband for money but her had cut me off and depleted our joint checking account
You don't have to wait for a divorce, if your husband has stopped supporting you, you should go down to your local Family Court and file for support. Any support order would be retroactive to the date you filed your application so the sooner you file the better.
Her daughter wants to be taken off the health insurance. We don't want her off cause she'll be going to a lesser insurance plan. Do we have to take her off the health insurance plan cause she wants off? We want to keep her on cause it's a better plan.
We live in New York.
She is an adult and you cannot keep her on your plan if she doesn't want to be on it. You can point out to her the benefit of your plan over hers and the savings she will have in costs if she stays with your plan but in the end it is her decision.
My brother has health issues and can't travel and they still are taking child support for his son that is now an adult and is not in school. Is there anything he can do from PA to get those payments stopped?
He can file in court to terminate support based upon age. This can be done in the state where the support order was entered. In most states he can file remotely at this time.
There is no way to answer the question without knowing what the evidence is and what he is alleging. Just based upon his not working in a year and future surgery is not sufficient for a modification.
My father was unofficially adopted by my grandparents in Puerto Rico in the 1950s, and when he was born they did not change his original last name to what should of been my adoptive grandfathers last name.
For all the time he has been in the United States (specifically NY for over 40... Read more »
Based upon what you have said, to begin with the case would have to be done in PR as that is where he was born, however, since the "adoption" was unofficial it is unlikely that it can be done. What is probably a better option, is to bring an action for a name change back to the time he... Read more »
All daughters do not agree. The oldest thinks she has the final say and other daughters are not allowed to take her to get vaccinated without her approval.
The short answer is no. Mom makes the decision for herself and the other daughters can help mom get vaccinated if she wants to. The POA only gives the daughter the ability to act in mom's place for those things she was designated to do (usually financial matters), it is not a power over the mom.
