If you have proof that they agreed to add you to the lease (e.g. e-mails stating this, or something along those lines) you may be able to prove in court that you had an agreement and should be able to stay.

Assuming you share custody with the other parent, you have a right to know about medical emergencies pertaining to your child. If the party is regularly withholding information from you, you can consider filing an action for contempt against them.

If she was your girlfriend (and not your wife), then in theory she has no right to stay there beyond your permission, and she must leave when you notify her. However, in practice, a court may find that because she has lived there for a long time and established a residence, she may be under a... View More

Generally, the answer is no. The exception would be where the is a TRUE emergency or the child's health or safety is at immediate risk. However, courts set the bar high on this and will generally look with skepticism at any party's attempts to withhold a child, so the situation needs to... View More

This would largely depend on what is stated in your lease. It is possible that your lease could contain "nuisance" provisions, which would prohibit things like letting pets out, playing loud music, disturbing neighbors, etc. If so then it is possible your landlord could try to evict on...

If you have an order for custody, then you are entitled to see your children when it says you can. If you do NOT have an order for custody, you should request one from the court immediately.

As long as you are paying your rent on time and adhering to the other stipulations of the lease, I see no basis for eviction.

You should consider speaking with Indiana Legal Services (https://www.indianalegalservices.org/) or the Indianapolis Bar Pro Bono Program (https://www.indybar.org/). If you live in a county other than Marion, then contact your local court and see if they can provide you with information on local... View More

I am sorry to hear about your situation. The divorce process begins with the filing of a petition with the court, and the issuance of a summons to the other party. However, because there are substantial assets involved, and this process can be quite complex, I would strongly recommend that you sit... View More

Child custody determinations are made based on what is in the best interests of the child; however, there are no hard and fast rules as to what would lead to a modification, as much of that is in the discretion of the judge. Based on the circumstances you've described, though, it is clear that... View More

You and the father can write up your agreement and submit it to the court (check with the court clerk to see if they have templates you can use). If the agreement meets with the court's approval, the judge will sign off on it and make it an order. However, you may want to consider seeking the... View More

It really depends on several factors, but generally, if the guardian contests the termination, you're probably looking at 3-6 months.

It would depend on whether the court ordered you to have regular visitations with the child.

You need to use whatever your legal last name is at this time. Also, I would highly recommend that you seek assistance from an experienced divorce attorney. While the courts do allow parties to go through this process without representation, generally this is not DIY territory.

It depends. If the parents have significant issues (history of abuse, etc.), then you may be able to file against the mom to either give you primary custody or ask the judge for an order restricting the children from being around them.

Hello, please give my office a call at (317) 514-2681 and I would be happy to walk you through this.

Thank you,

If he does not have a custody order in place he should definitely seek one out immediately. That it the only thing that would give him enforceable parenting time with the children. Without that, there is little to stop the mother from leaving again with the children.

If the opposing party filed a motion to strike, it usually means that something was filed on the case (such as a document, letter, motion, etc.), that they are asking the court to remove from the record.

It is not clear what your question is. However, if your ex-boyfriend owns the house outright, he will have the right to force you to leave. Whether or not an eviction would need to be filed would depend on a variety of factors, and there is not enough information in your question to answer that.... View More

A parent can withhold visitation where they feel that a child is endangered or in other emergency situations. However, you should be cautious about doing so, as courts look at such behavior with great scrutiny. Your children's father does have an obligation to provide you with the information... View More
