Notification or permission from Court. What can we do about this? He has joint custody.

You can hire a lawyer who can ask the court for an order prohibiting her taking the kids out of state.
They took my kids into state custody. They arrested the childrens father for drugs. They tested me but im clean so they didnt take me to jail. They found drugs in the house which i knew nothing about. All i do is work and come home. They showed up with a warrant for my arrest for child neglect

You need an attorney. I would look for an attorney who is familiar with child abuse and neglect cases. If you can't afford one, ask the court to appoint one for you.

You can file a petition with the juvenile court or the mother can sign a power of attorney. You should discuss the facts with an attorney to help you decide which course of action is best.

Go to the bank and ask for a new one. They will cancel the one your dad has and issue a new one. Some can even give you a temporary card on the spot.

You should contact an elder law attorney so that you can manage the money legally in a way that is not fraudulent.
He was never offered a dna test and the mother now keeps insisting the child is not his and is changing the child's last name from my husbands to hers.
answered on Feb 15, 2018
Based on her statements and wish to change the child's name, he can potentially ask the court to order the DNA test. He should consult an attorney to help him evaluate the facts.

If DCS is called and they are sharing a room or are not appropriately supervised, then yes.
I am primary parent and we share time 50-50. We have a clause in our parenting plan: no overnight houseguests of the opposite sex unless dating for a year or engaged to be married. He has already broken this with her but is lying about it and I have no definitive way to prove this either.

If his work schedule is new, it might qualify as a material change in circumstance to allow a modification of the parenting plan. I try to include a "first right of refusal" in all of the parenting plans I draft. This allows a parent the right to keep the child if the other parent is... View More 
them in the process. I dealt with custody and court as a child and it has bothered me my whole life. I have recently realized that he was not fair whatsoever when he came up with his parenting plan nor does he value the little time that i get with them. He is constantly trying to come up with...

You should consult an attorney. You may have enough to seek a modification, but more facts are needed. I am sorry that you are going through this. Co-parenting with an ex who doesn't want to play nicely can be so difficult.
I also need a lawyer to defend me

Lawyers cannot agree to help you on a forum like this. You will need to call attorneys and find one to represent you.

You should consult an attorney. If you decide that you want the baby to be raised by the father, then the father can still seek child support from you. He will need to petition the court for custody if you are not married.
And when police arrived no weapon was found what can the judge do
answered on Feb 13, 2018
You can still be found guilty even though no weapon was found. Your best bet is to hire an attorney to represent you.
I have joint custody, she resides with her mom and I have visitation.
answered on Feb 13, 2018
That depends on lots of facts that are not included here. If you want to change custody, you should consult an attorney to look at all of the facts and advise you regarding your legal options.

If you are not happy with your lawyer, you have two choice: 1) keep going like you are going or 2) find a new lawyer. Custody cases are tough. They are based almost solely on facts--lots of facts. Without knowing all of the facts, an attorney can't offer an opinion in a forum like this.... View More
I am being summoned to court March 27 2018 on contempt of court. When the child was born I didn't sign the birth certificate as paternity was on question.

You can tell him to leave as soon as he turns 18. If he is violent or destroying property before then, you can file a petition with juvenile court and charge him with assault, vandalism, or theft.
He sharing explicit photos of me. To 5 different people I know of and have proof from screenshots sent to me of him sending them.

The DA will decide whether to prosecute the case. You should provide the information to your divorce attorney as well.

answered on Feb 11, 2018
You can file for custody of her in juvenile court. I highly recommend that you contact an attorney who is familiar with juvenile court. If you live out of state, there are some hoops that you may need to jump through.
answered on Feb 11, 2018
If you didn't go through court and there is no court order, then it is not custody. At most it was a power of attorney. A power of attorney can be revoked at any time. I recommend contacting an attorney to look at the paperwork.
He was using me to get a green card.
answered on Feb 10, 2018
You should contact an attorney. The attorney can help you try to find him. If the attorney can't find him, he or she may be able to provide notice through publication in a newspaper.
