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.

I'm currently under my mothers custody but I've experienced some abuse as a child and currently we have alot of issues. My dad can have me but he wants to know if there is anything I can do for my custody change.
Your father would have to file a petition for a change of custody. You would have to tell the judge that you want to live with your father and why.
You should speak with an attorney immediately. You will need to show him your divorce decree and stipulation of settlement if you have one. If your daughter is going to school you will probably be required to continue support payments.
my daughter is 10 she has expressed to me she don't want to go her mother is moving because her husband found a better job what should i do?
The first thing you should do is consult with an attorney. Next, file a petition in family court to keep your ex from moving without a court order or your consent.
Based on the divorce agreement my ex husband had to buy me out of the house. We both can not find proof of payment. If we go to court will I be required to sign a document stating he paid me for the buy out?
If you go to court, you will be under oath to tell the truth. If you are asked if you received the payment and you said no and then later proof is found, you will have committed perjury and fraud so the best course is simply admit that you got the buyout money if you did.
