What is your question? If your question is do you have a cause of action against her, then the answer is no. She has the right to choose to divorce someone. I am so sorry about your brother. A love one's suicide is so hard. Mental illness was the cause of your brother's suicide, not... View More

You need to consult an attorney. The law provides that a service member's family can still have access to the child during deployment.

What the other lawyer is saying isn't uncommon. I still recommend that you consult an attorney to review the documents.

What is the case set for? Trial? Hearing on a motion? Without knowing more, it is impossible to answer. I highly recommend that you consult an attorney and ask the court for more time to hire a lawyer.
The child lives with her mom's mom who has temporary custody of her and has had for the last 8 years. Because I asked for a DNA test the grandmother now wants me to pay child support. If the child is mine, do I have to pay child support if I give up my rights?
answered on Apr 28, 2018
Yes, you do. The only way you would be excused from paying child support is if the child is adopted by someone else.
They were broken junk, old clothes, papers, 1 tv that was my mom’s who passed away and a play station. Most of the things grew mold because they got wet and we threw them out. The tv and PlayStation is with us. Now his ex is telling me that she will take legal action to get the tv, the... View More

She can try, but I doubt it will result in much since so much time has passed. If they do file suit, you will need to consult an attorney.
My 12 year old step son came to our home this weekend with a vape and oil his mother bought him. Personally, I would have disposed of it but my husband had him read the DANGER section and where it says not for anyone under 18. He told him he can't have it here.

Yes, it is a crime. Yes, your husband should consult an attorney about seeking custody of the child based on this.

Yes, if you have had sex, you could be guilty of statutory rape if there is 4 years between your ages. Your best bet is to wait until she turns 18 and not post any more information on public forums.

You can hire an attorney and go back to court to try and fix the error.
How do I get my car back? She is keeping it from me.

Your ex what? Girlfriend? Wife? You should consult an attorney to see what your options are.
if someone was going to be severed papers to leave house will he get them before or after we have a conference meeting together with our lawyers
If we both agree do we have to go back to court or can I just sign a notarized affidavit giving permission.
answered on Mar 30, 2018
That depends on what the order giving you custody says. It is better to go back to court. Otherwise, if something happens and the court or DCS removes your grandchild from your daughter, they may not give her back to you.

You cannot legally move out without your parents' consent until you turn 18. However, as a practical matter, it may be difficult for law enforcement to find you to take you home before your 18th birthday.
answered on Mar 30, 2018
Yes, they can. You cannot leave home without parental permission until you are 18.
My daughter is 15 and I have custody of both her and her one year old child. The child's father is 17. Paternity has been established. Can he be made to pay child support? He has a job.
answered on Mar 30, 2018
If he has a job, he can be forced to pay child support. He probably cannot be held responsible for working full time if he is still in school since his school attendance is required by law. Did you obtain legal custody of the baby? Because otherwise, your daughter is the legal custodian of the... View More

No, not necessarily. The fact that the mom lives with her father may not play a big role in custody. You should consult an attorney to look at all of the facts to advise you regarding your legal options.
