No, you cannot withhold visitation. You need to ask the court to modify the parenting plan to accommodate the child's extracurricular activities.
answered on Dec 27, 2015
It's unclear exactly what you hope to accomplish. You and your spouse can create a post-nuptial plan that provides a parenting plan in the event of a divorce. However, these plans may still be overruled by the court if contested, because the child's best interests supersede your right to... View More

If you're not the father, then absolutely do not acknowledge paternity. It doesn't afford you any parental rights by itself and it could bind you to a child support obligation until the children are emancipated.
Will the court make him live up to the paper he signed? And can I get alimony?
answered on Dec 27, 2015
The paper may be an enforceable contract. You should consult with a divorce attorney. If your husband makes more money than you do, you may be able to ask the court to order him to pay your attorney's fees. Without an experienced attorney, your chances of receiving spousal maintenance... View More
She doesn't want to live with him can I just go get her and file custody papers
answered on Dec 27, 2015
If there is no order, neither of you have superior rights. Unfortunately at this point, filing for custody may be a moot point. The court loses jurisdiction over the child when she turns 18 and it can take several months for the court to make a custody determination.
When she's 18, she... View More
We also just had a baby of our own. We were also curious as to what age a minor can choose which home he wants to reside in. In Arizona it is 13. What are Georgia's standards? He says he wants to be with us because he doesn't like being with his mom and his stepdad is mean to him.
answered on Dec 27, 2015
There is no age in Arizona where a child can decide where to live. Pursuant to Rule 12 of the ARFLP, a child of suitable age and maturity can be interviewed by the court and the court may consider the child's preferences. But this is just a factor and is not outcome determinative.... View More

There was also a car going way faster that me in front of me and the officer also told me that can the ticket be fought in court ?

No, you're not excused from your offense simply because someone else was also speeding.

No, parents relocate all of the time. Abandonment refers to when a parent stops supporting the child entirely- no contact, no emotional support, no financial support.
I need to know what legal grounds I have. She sent him to me from Oregon , because he was getting into trouble in her custody, and needed my help in AZ. He's now doing a great job in my custody, and does not want to leave. I'm afraid if I modify the child support, she'll demand him... View More

She can revoke this arrangement, but you can petition the court to modify parenting time to reflect the new living situation. Be sure to determine which court has jurisdiction before you file.

You can modify the child support order, though the judge may offset the obligation by the expenses he's already covering for you and your child. I understand that his rent remained constant, but rent and living expenses are built into the child support calculator. There also may be a... View More
My ex has been letting my abusive mother with a felony record (who has drugs, guns, and a gang activity in her home) to be around my children against my express wishes. I cut off all contact with my mother 2 years ago. Do I have any legal recourse to stop his letting her around the children?
answered on Nov 21, 2015
You can request a no contact order through the Arizona family court.
and two of those grand children get social security checks. and two out of five grandchildren are not in her custody.
answered on Nov 21, 2015
It's unclear exactly what you're asking, but a custodial parent or other legal guardian is not precluded from receiving child support simply because the children receive benefits. Depending on the precise nature of the benefits, the parent obligated to pay child support may ask the court... View More

Presumptively, yes. Arizona is a community property state. However, you may consult with a tax attorney to discuss various privileges that could insulate you from liability.

Assets generally are considered sole and separate property when purchased prior to marriage. Sole and separate property retains that character during marriage with few exceptions.
This analysis is extremely nuanced though and depends on specific facts of the situation. I would encourage you... View More
My husband filed for divorce. We separated assets prior to the filing. He is getting the house and the mortgage is solely in his name. We have a motorhome he is getting and the loan is in both of our names. Those are the only two things listed in the divorce paperwork. He agreed to pay the... View More

If neither spouse requested spousal support in the initial pleadings, it may be deemed waived. I would encourage you to consult with a local family lawyer for more detailed evaluation of your case, but from what you provided it seems like spousal support is unlikely.
