Whatever plan you need will be tailored specifically to your own situation. Honestly, there is no generic advice for this. I strongly urge you to consult with an experienced family law attorney in you area to discuss your circumstances and options.

If you have a custody order granting you primary custody, the local police might assist you in obtaining possession of your son, if you want to go that route. I'm rarely a fan of doing that, though. It can be very upsetting for the child. Your better choice is to file a custody petition. You... View More

Try the county law library. You can't learn to practice law by googling. Or, here's a novel idea, retain an experienced family law attorney to prepare the motion for you.

Not if she's receiving cash assistance

At this time of year particularly, DRO usually uses a year to date figure from your weekly check. However, if there's an argument that you can earn more, or that you receive bonuses or extra money, they will certainly at least look at your W-2.

Having a driver's license is not a right, it's a privilege. If mom wants him to drive, then she should pay for the expenses related to it or take dad back to court to get a contribution from him if the court sees fit to order it. Now, on the practical side, if dad agrees that the child... View More

If the total of the two support basic orders, before adjustments for child care, etc., exceeds 50% of his income then

the court may adjust both orders.

Yes, if DPW is not involved. She should contact Domestic Relations to find out what they need.

I'm afraid you're going to have to be a little more specific in your question? Were they taken to a shelter by someone? Were they stolen from you?

They can. Once you become 18 they no longer have a legal duty to support you. It might be a wise idea to start following their rules before it's too late.

In the supprt case between you and the birth mother, the only child to be considered is your joint child unless the basic support order for that one child exceeds 50% of your net pay. No, the incomes of your spouses are not relevant - only you and the mother have a obligation to support your child.

Perhaps. I know that's hard to hear but it's hard to predict. I suggest that you strongly consider having an attorney represent you in court. I'm going to venture a guess that the judge won't think its time yet to turn the little one over to dad but judges are unpredictable. The... View More

The law requires the biological father's rights to be terminated, either voluntarily or involuntarily, before the child can be placed for adoption. Obviously then the question arises - what if she says she doesn't know who the father is? Good point. I'd try to keep eyes on her... View More

Probably not. There's actually nothing wrong with everyone sleeping in the same room and it's a plus that they each have separate beds. This is just weekend visits, not full-time housing. As far as the rash goes, people break out in rashes often. That's not necessarily an indication... View More

In my opinion, you really need to run this situation by an experienced family law attorney in your area before making any moves. In an office conference the attorney can sort through all the facts and then discuss with you the pros and cons of filing. But first, the nature of your own situation has... View More

It sounds to me like you really need to involve an attorney in this at this point. It's hard to know all the facts which may have lead yup to a decision to keep your kids in care but I believe an attorney working for you can assist you in getting some of this cleared up and help you understand...

Who do you want to sue? I suggest that you take this matter up with your local Domestic Realtions Office. They would have notified you in advance of their decision to terminate the order and given you the opportunity to object to that determination and have a court decide.

Is the father just giving up his rights to custody? If that's what is happening, it's not binding and he can change his mind if and when he chooses. The only way parental rights are permanently relinquished is if the rights are terminated voluntarily or involuntarily by the court in... View More

Yes he is unless the mother relieves him of his responsibility to pay. A parent cannot just sign over custody of a child to get out of paying child support. It just doesn't work that way.
