This question makes no sense. What are you asking?
That's all the text said. So I asked is October 1 day I have to be moved. He responded yes. I did ask for something in writing never received. Then I received another text stating that if I stayed past 9/30/18 rent would be 3 times monthly amount $2670.00. Is this legal? I would understand a... View More

I assume this is an Alabama question. No. he must terminate your tenancy in writing and serve that on you.
Non-custodial parent wants to take the difference in child support and the SSDI benefit to child and use the excess for his 50/50 obligation for school/medical expenses. Is that correct? Why isn't the entire SSDI payment the child's and parents out of pocket pay 50/50? Non-custodial... View More

You will have to go to Court to address this issue.

He was suppose to refinance the house and get my name off the mortgage. He has not recorded the quit claim deed and he has not refinanced the... View More

You return to court and compel him to obey the terms of the COurt order.

If he has not supported the child with money, contact or anything else for a period of 6 months or more you can attempt to terminate his rights on the ground of abandonment. The fact that you were not married, etc, is not relevant. If he has abandoned the child you can attempt to terminate his... View More

You need a lawyer to represent you. I don't know of anyone who does this for free in your jurisdiction. You should call the bar association in the county where the case is and get some help.

Father is now married to new woman, Before any hearing set, judge is forcing father to establish paternity only because the mother... View More

It is well within the court's power to order such a test. As a person who never married the mother and who is not the father he has no right to the child. THis is what happens when people have children without getting married.
She is not okay with it, but it would be in better interest for the child, me, and my boyfriend considering he has more job and schooling opportunities

You are a minor and don't get to decide that you are going to "up sticks" and just leave. If you were to marry you "s/o" you would be emancipated. You can't marry without consent until you are 18.
The judge allowed my son's father to credit $2500 to retroactive based off checks sent to my son from grandparents. These checks stated "for good grades" "for football" "for birthday"
answered on Sep 6, 2018
I take it you disagree with the judge's order. The court has a lot of discretion here. You don't clearly set out what happened, but it appears that the court decided money that the father's parents sent to the son should offset some arearage, etc. THe court probably also looked at... View More

However, the state of Alabama wants my employer to continue to deduct the same amount as with the child support... View More

I assume this is an "Ex re" action where the Department of Human Resources is chasing you for support. If they don't show, DHR will do the math and you will be ordered to pay support.
She allowed the mother of the father to keep the kids over the weekend as she has before for she never wanted to keep them from them she went to pick them up and the father was there and refused to turn the kids over to there mother

Have you ever been to court on any of this? That would be a start! You have to get custody as part of a Court order! Get a Petition filed and get to court

Child support that he is paying is part of the calculation. Other children that he moves into the house are not part of the calculation
And will not pay. Can I just stop giving her that money till the money she owes me is paid. The child support is not court ordered. I have never missed a payment in 13 yrs.
Because of being in a bad family situation and DHR keeps being called. And the person they want to live with is the ones taking care of them.

Let's address this silly old saw. There is not an age when a minor gets to decide who to live with. It does not matter what uncle Billy (whose girlfriend is a paralegal) told you. A minor never gets to make that decision. In probate law, a minor must consent to a divorce when older than 14. A... View More

Even if you and your beloved want to get married on Halloween, you can't. YOu have to wait 60 days from the date of the divorce to remarry -- and you don't have a final divorce decree.
