I am sorry to hear about your situation. You would have to provide the landlord with some evidence of the domestic violence. Typically this comes in the form of a protection order. If you are still in fear of imminent harm, then you can still apply for a protection order.

If you file in juvenile court, as opposed to domestic relations court, you might be able to request pay before the time that you file the court action. However it sounds like there has already been some court activity in the case and that may impact your current options.

He can request that. A fit parent is considered to be able to delegate his or her time. However, the delegation is not automatic. You can contest it as not being in the best interests of the children, if that is the case. He also would have to file with the court to modify the current plan if you... View More

Generally at this point, the court will just go with its order. It is now to late to respond. He could move to reopen the action in limited circumstances such as not receiving the motion. Though here because he did respond a few days late it seems as though he did receive the motion.

The legal standard for a restriction on parenting time is endangerment. The best way to establish endangerment is with a Department of Human Services investigation. If you believe that the child is being abused or neglected, you can make a report to the Department of Human Services.

She does not have decision-making authority over you and she can not require that you be vaccinated. You are entitled to parenting time by virtue of the court order and she is obligated to allow it.
