This question reveals how government inspires a family fight where the child suffers and the state benefits. Parents take turns winning over time.
Going to government for help is never a good idea. The asker filed for child support and had the father served. Now the father must respond and... View More

Yes, if the order of spousal support does not terminate such support upon the ex-wife's moving in with a paramour. The order of spousal support controls all the activities of the ex-wife.

Aside from a general political overview, there is little to say in response to this question. Politics drive the protection of children. This means the federal government pays each state of the union to prosecute bad mothers. Mothers are presumed to be bad and in need of "services" until... View More

New York has no such statute referred to as the Welfare and Institutions Code §388 for the return of children on remand by a family court judge into foster care. This is why the asker's attorney did not file it in a New York child protective case, hence there is no misconduct.
I began testifying in a violation fact finding trial brought on by CPS. Suddenly, the judge stopped me and had a private meeting with attorneys. My attorney then suggested to me that I admit guilt as it is favorable to the judge I said I didn’t want to because I would be silenced and I want... View More

In much the same way judicial decisions are made in socialist countries, the same approach is in full swing in the U.S. The court made up its mind without a hearing, and the message to the asker is to surrender and agree to a finding of guilt.
If the attorney is assigned by the court (free... View More

What am I allowed to say no to with out getting in trouble. Do I have to let other parent talk to the children during the week. I let the other parent see children just not when ever the other parent would like. Due to having other plans and children wanting to see other family, is that okay?

We frequently get these questions that involve the "construction" of family court orders. The word "construction" means to construe, to analyze an order. We cannot construe this asker's order because we do not see it in its entirety. However, we can take a stab at the... View More

There is no question here.
The asker must retain an attorney to file a petition for downward modification. However, his arrears will not disappear unless he can get the custodial parent to waive arrears in court before a support magistrate.
