I agree with my colleague. If you have an attorney you are working with then you should seek their advice on this issue. If not, then you may want to consider consulting with one.

I agree with my colleague. If she accidentally burned herself there’s nobody to hold liable for that.

If the baby is biologically his then it is his child as well and he has every right to legitimize and seek some custody/visitation rights. You have every right to seek child support from him.

I agree with my colleague. It would typically be 7 days in a row, but if you have a weekend that you can add it on to then you will be able to have a longer period at one time.

We are not unclear what it is that you are asking about here. You may want to re-write the question and post it again. The custody of the children will be handled during the course of the divorce.
We have shared custody, but she lives with me full-time and only sees her mother every other weekend. Mother is bi-polar and very controlling. Daughter loves my mother and wants to spend more time with her.

You will need to refer to your custody order to see what it says regarding restrictions. The summer is a long time. Even if she can, the mother being able to see her every other weekend would still need to be honored so you are not in contempt.
I have continued to pay even though they were never compliant about ordered visitation . They have turned my daughter against me . Do I continue to pay??
answered on May 13, 2022
Child support typically ends at 18 or when they are finished with high school. She’s no longer a child, so unless there is some reason in your order that you have to keep paying it then you should be able to no longer do so. You may want to consult with an attorney who can review the facts of... View More

Yes, she can seek child support. There will be a DNA test done to prove the person is the father. If he is found to be the biological father then he will likely be ordered to pay child support. She should consult with an attorney who can help with the process.

It does sound like you have a lot going on. You should consult with an attorney who can review the case in detail and provide you with guidance. If you can’t afford an attorney try contacting Legal Aid to see if you qualify for assistance.

I understand your concern, but unfortunately we don’t know enough of regarding the facts of the case to say why this happened. You should contact the child support office to inquire about it.
