You should probably file some sort of custody action but, without knowing what if any orders are in place now, and in what state, it's impossible to tell you more. Please sit down with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case in detail.
my father in law wants to purchase the house outright and charge me rent after I reach the amount I put into the house. I refuse this as I feel even though he helped that this house is mine and my ex's and I should be allowed to stay with our 4 kids (I have FT) or sell and get half the value.... View More

It depends on several facts, such as did he loan you money and is that loan documented? Is his name on the deed? I'm sure there are a few more questions that will need to be answered when you sit down with an experienced family law attorney. At that time you can also discuss the viability of... View More

The custodial parent has the right to request child support. I honestly think you'd do well to consult in person with an experienced family law attorney in your area before the hearing to explain your situation in detail and maybe even get an idea of what a support order against you might be....

The father has entered paperwork saying he did not consent to son moving out of state but I have a text saying it is ok to take him. I have already moved out of state, when he filled the paperwork saying I left. I had been gone 6months before the paperwork was filed.

Yes, it is admissible but not binding. You haven't said whether you are in litigation to relocate or you're just thinking of moving. You would probably do well to discuss this in person with an experienced family law attorney.
Is there legal standing preventing father from picking up his kids since mother is homeless and there are no court orders stating aunt has legal custody nor reliqinquishing parental rights on either parent? Mother has custody due to incarceration of father but father has been out for a year now and... View More

You need to consult with an experienced family law attorney before you take any action. You aren't certain what sort of authority the aunt has. You apparently haven't seen the children during the year you've been out of prison. Making a radical move such as just taking the children... View More
Said they couldn’t do anything because he was on the run and then in prison .
He says his sons 18 that he don’t owe nothing . But before he went to prison he was on the run with thousands of dollars before he was caught .

If the case is still open, yes, if no, probably not. Contact Domestic Relations to find out the status of your original support case to see if it can be reopened. However, even if it can be reopened, he would not be liable for support for a child who is 18 years of age and been graduated from high... View More
My monthly income decreased by over a third due to a work injury forcing me to take a lesser paying job.

Assuming that the original overpayment had been disbursed to your ex-wife when it was received, the computer record would show the overpayment of $671.

I guess so if one of the parties has some connection with that county, such as residence or employment. I don't see how the case would go far since the defendant's inability to work has apparently already been established.
And can she move to PR without my consent with my children?
answered on Oct 4, 2018
First and foremost. , no, she was supposed to either get your consent or the consent of the court to move your children that far away. Yes, she can still collect support. You REALLY need to consult with an experienced family law attorney in your area as soon as possible.
There are no custody papers or orders

If the father wants to see his son and the mother isn't cooperative then the father should consider filing for custody. I'd suggest that he consult in person with an experienced family law attorney to get things started.
We didn't know we were only permitted 1 ADA dog so we ask this couple a week ago to watch her until things changed. Well they did and we were granted permission for her. Now they refuse to give her back. Even though we hold the receipts to her and her akc paperwork.

I suggest that you go to your local district court and file a civil complaint, seeking return of your dog.
Can I be at fault for abandoning my son or leaving home if I'm just going
for short 4 day trip. My name is on mortgage and deed of home.
Thank you
answered on Oct 2, 2018
No, I don't see how that would be a valid claim. You're just going on a vacation. I do suggest that you consult with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible, however.
I"m not planning on leaving my home or my son. Just taking a trip that's been planned.
answered on Oct 2, 2018
I don't see why you shouldn't go. I assume that the other parent was aware of this planned vacation before you became separated. Just make sure that the other parent understands that you are not moving or attempting to relocate with your child. Do this in writing so there can be no... View More
Do I need to report second income to demostic relations. I live in Pennsylvania.
answered on Oct 1, 2018
Yes. You'll see that your support order requires each of you to report changes in income and employer within, I believe, ten days.

You might want to try again with this question, giving just a bit more information. Are you asking how long you have to wait before you receive something you inherited? That would depend on quite a few factors, such as what it is, is it being divided among other heirs, is it in a form that would... View More

Sorry but there are not enough facts here to give you any helpful ideas. You don't say what happened with the petition you refer to or how it is that your attorney screwed you. It sounds like your fiance may have acknowledged paternity. If he did, then it may be impossible to reverse that... View More

It's never advisable to fail to show up for a court hearing. The better approach is to show up and, if you want to drop the case, tell the judge then. It might be helpful to you to consult with an experienced family law attorney before court to discuss this and the divorce.
