Certain retirement accounts may be passed to the other spouse if you have a survivor benefit plan... Read more »
A CFI is appointed by the Court and must be non-biased. The CFI never evaluates a single party but rather speaks to both parents and the children and makes a recommendation about allocation of parental responsibilities.
I have had temporary custody of my almost 2 year old for a year and a half. The magistrate keeps pushing out our case. During status conferences she only would address the mother. The mother never did anything the court asked her to. Accused me of abusing her and my son and did not submit any... Read more »
It is difficult to establish bias as it has to be based on more than a disagreement with the magistrate's decisions. You will have to have some independent witnesses if you would like to support an allegation of bias.

It sounds like you need a modification to the parenting plan based on the move. Given that the intent was that Mother should have summer parenting time, you should allow her the time even though she has relocated closer. You can file a motion to modify parenting time to get the ball rolling if she... Read more »
She is now wanting to exercise her parenting time for the summer. Am I still required to send him to her house for the summer.
I am sorry to hear about your situation. Everyone is obligated to follow the court order in existence. If a modification or an emergency restriction is needed, then it is necessary to file with the court to make the change if there is already an order in existence,
how do we go about changing the custody agreement? the state we moved from is too far away to fly out just to alter one part of the divorce. I live in Colorado now and he and the children are in New Mexico.
The state that issued the order no longer has jurisdiction since you both and the children have left. If the children live in New Mexico, that is the state that now has jurisdiction.
Child (17) was previously unknown. The mother's rights were terminated when child was 12. Presumably, so was the father's rights because they didn't know who he was but ran legal announcements before the adoption. Child was adopted by a relative & a non-relative. What is the... Read more »

I cosigned for an ex partner, the relationship was abusive and I no longer have any contact with her at all. She has since missed 23 payments on that car and is still affecting my life. How do I go about getting my name off of the car and not hurting my credit anymore than it is already hurt?

I am sorry to hear about your situation. You may want to ask them why they are not crediting all of your proof, or have an attorney coordinate that issue with them for you.
