I am sorry to hear about your situation. If credit cards were procured under your name without your consent, that is a criminal matter.

That is good that you have improved your situation. There is not paperwork that you can file. However, a county department of social services or the child's guardian ad litem may file a petition for reinstatement, if they believe warranted. These are the people you should speak with or have... View More

It depends on who he made the statement to and under what circumstances. A false statement between friends in not enforceable. However, a false official statement made to obtain a benefit is different.

If you did not turn in marriage license paperwork to the state, then you are not traditionally married. Whether you are common law married depends on whether you cohabited and held yourself out as husband and wife.

If they are not entitled to a military discount, they are committing fraud. You could report it, however given the small amount involved, this level of fraud may not be a high law enforcement priority.

Generally, in the absence of a custody order, a parent can take a child where they want. What a parent can not do though is withhold the child from the other parent, as that would be parental kidnapping. Colorado is the home state of the child so any custody action would be filed here until the... View More

If the agreement is signed by both parties it is enforceable as a contract, but not a court order. You could have an attorney draft it into a parenting plan and file it with the court to have it issued as an order.

There is a doctrine called laches on Colorado that may prevent interest on support after so many years. The person who would have standing to bring a child support claim would be the parent to whom the support should have been paid rather than the child.
the court is only enforcing visits, when the child should have been returned home to me anyways. He has kept my family and me away from the child for to long

It sounds like you may need the assistance of an attorney if you have filed the same action six times. It will be important to look at the last court order and determine whether he is in compliance or not. If he is not, then you can file a motion to enforce. If a modification is needed based on the...

It depends on the type and value of the assets involved. Some estates do not have to go through probate if the assets are lower than a certain amount and there is no real property. Other estates have to go through informal or formal probate depending on the circumstances. It is best to consult with... View More

I agree with the last answer. If the child is having health issues in the current home and you can prove that the issues are caused by the pets in the home through medical evidence, then you can ask for a change in parenting time.

It would be important to have more information, however the order does not proscribe victim action. Nevertheless, it is not a good idea to engage in actions that would potentially entice the restrained party to violate the order, such as contacting him or her. It could potentially be construed as a... View More

I agree with the last answer. Yes, submitting paperwork from your missing spouse for a civil court action that will benefit you can certainly impact the criminal case. You should consult with both a criminal and civil attorney on this matter.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It is not clear what happened. If you dispute the debt you could discuss with the family support registry if you paid through that. Social security should not be garnished for debts.
They took half of the refund when I didn't owed them that much the receipt on page said they refund me so much when it didn't happen I wonder why I have 4 other little ones living with me and know they are taking my unemployment aS Well

I am sorry to hear about your situation. It looks like your tax return was garnished due to some debt owed to the government. You would have to find out what the garnishment is for and if you do not agree with the amount, take that up with the government agency involved.

It depends on how you pay - weather through the family support registry or not. The registry can let you know what you owe. If you pay directly, you can calculate the amount to be paid as specified in the last court order and subtract what you have paid. The obligee can ask for compounded interest... View More

Within Colorado, parenting time is allowed under the stay at home order. As far as out of state travel, compliance with court orders is still required unless the child would be endangered by travel. There is no automatic presumption that out of state travel would cause endangerment, though it would... View More

If you feel that the child is being endangered by not being assisted in social distancing and emotionally, for example, based on tearing up photos, you could file for an emergency custody motion. You would have to prove endangerment, which can be a high bar. The COVID social distancing is a new... View More
