Do He have to help me get Another vehicle? he told me to sell my vehicle before we moved to Georgia
answered on Dec 10, 2017
He does not have to. But think about it, would you like him too if so ask him, if he is willing than Yippee! If not, I wouldn't advice you to fight for it in court since it would just increase your litigation expense. Don't hesitate to reach out to an attorney for a free consultation.

We as attorneys need more information and background details of the case to better tell you an answer to this question. However, most likely the custody will be granted to the parent the kids reside with and the other parent will get visitation or both will share. If he owes than most-likely you... View More

He is to drop my son off Christmas Eve at 9 pm. But we never stipulated the holiday break in our agreement . I was going off... View More

I agree with what you are saying but it sounds like the other parent is being difficult to work with. In that case, you should consider modifying the custody agreement in court. Since Christmas is near, I guess getting a lawyer to draft a letter of mutual modification or the establishing the use of... View More

Even people with the lease, a landlord can evict a tenant for different reasons. But the reasons must be valid. You should consult your situation with an attorney to discuss the whole story.

If both are not permitted to move and she still does, the court will have to ask her to either return with the kids or send the kids to you. However, you will need the help of an experienced and competent family law attorney in this matter. And yes she can still pursue support in PA as well as in... View More

I am listed on the birth certificate as the father.
We have an informal agreement, with the child spending every other weekend with me. I also take her on vacation trips.
I regularly pay child support, which the mother and I agreed upon.
The child is ten years old.
We live in New York.
answered on Dec 10, 2017
Yes, she can officially do that, even if you and she have a mutual understanding of anything. As long as a court order is not in place to prevent such moves like out of state or borough or city, a parent or both parents can move with the child with or without consent. It is up to the moving parent... View More
child lives in PA and the father lives in NYC, ( father made non-court order agreement to pay a certain amount and informed mother that he cant pay that amount any more and she said she will not deny visitation right until there is a court order for not giving payments)
answered on Dec 10, 2017
Yes a parent can deny the other parent rights, however, if the other parents get in contact with a lawyer and file for custody, the parent that was denying the rights of the other parents will experience a tough battle over custody. You should always work with the other parent to ensure the best... View More
Can a mother move more than 75 miles away if father does not consent and custody papers state that she can’t move more than 75 miles, but she has “final say”? We have joint custody (week on week off) and my stepdaughters mother wants to move more than 75 miles and take her with her, which... View More

If the court grants permission to move within the court order or mutual agreement entered in court than there shouldn't be a problem. But you should not move if the court specifically limits it. Please consult with an attorney using a free consultation.

Please consult with a lawyer since there is not enough information regarding the subject matter.
The mother of my daughter will not let me see my daughter I saw her last when she was 1, and she is now 10. She tells our daughter her husband is her father, and she will not tell her about me or let me see her. I still pay child support every month. I believe I should be able to see my daughter....

answered on Dec 10, 2017
If you are paying support ordered by the court, you have the right to see the child unless you are endangering her life. But I think you should consult with an attorney to get back with your daughter. The longer you wait the harder it will be for you both emotionally and financially. For now, you... View More
I have already filed the petition asking for his car, now I do not want it because he paid for all of it without my income
answered on Dec 3, 2017
Are you working with a lawyer or representing yourself? You need to contact his attorney or himself if he does not have an attorney to discuss the situation, and I think since it just been filed, give him the chance to contest it, since he paid for the car using his money he would want to keep it....

If you can't afford an attorney or the starting of a divorce process, it would be best to let him start the divorce process and pay all the filing fees. You can also start the divorce process and if you qualify for a fee waiver if that is available then you can use that route.

This would be best dealt by an attorney by an attorney. Please reach out to an attorney for a legal and free consultation.
she just served me with some paper work and we're going to mediation on the 28 I don't want her to take off with my kids what can I do?
answered on Dec 1, 2017
First of all, do you have a lawyer? If not I suggest you retain one very fast. Because if she and her attorney are able to convince the court that they should take the child to Texas than you won't be able to do much. Reach out to a local attorney to discuss your case and get legal options.
answered on Dec 1, 2017
Yes, it is possible as long as you can show to the court that their presence is harmful to the child mental, physical or wellbeing. An attorney would be able to explain to you your options in details. Reach out to an attorney for free consultation.
