By default, adoption records are not public. There is no official adoption certificate, once the adoption is final, the adoptive parents file for a new birth certificate. If you are the adoptive parents then you will have a copy of the filed paperwork or your attorney should be able to provide... View More 
Why is DHS still taking the full amount of support, $556, even though both of my kids have turned 18 (as of 1/16/21) and are out on their own? Since the case was established $506 went to current and $50 went to back. I thought once current ended only the $50 for back would be collected unless she... View More

Just because the children turned 18 does not necessarily mean the child support ends. Typically it will end at age 18 but it CAN go longer. The statute reads age 18, UNLESS the child is regularly enrolled in and attending high school, then they are entitled to support until they graduate or reach... View More

You need to file a petition for dissolution of marriage. Depending on if you can serve him or not there are some procedures you can take to meet the requirements. Your best bet is to contact a family law attorney in order to make sure you get the appropriate filings made.

Is there a possibility you were in the wrong court? A lot of people go to the city when they should be going to the county and vice versa. I would recommend verifying the department that issued you the ticket and then make sure that was the court you went to.
The mother is also my mother, and when I ask for them to for example not put their mouth in babies mouth for health concerns, they steam roll over me saying they’re the parents and they can do what they want, but they aren’t even deemed safe by the dhs. Court order says they are allowed... View More

As my colleague stated you can always request a neutral third party to be the supervisor. However, while they are technically correct that they are the parent, there is a reason the guardianship was put in place and it is your job to protect the best interest of the child. You may also try to get... View More

Please contact my office for a free consultation. There are many factors that come into play in an adoption and in order to get an accurate assessment then there are more questions to be asked than can be done in this forum.
Do I need a special license to do so?.

It has no bearing on court if you have been or have not been. There are however good training benefits from having the taser used on you, but so long as you receive the proper training and it is documented then you do not have to be tasered in order to be certified.

It depends on when the account was officially closed. Theoretically there is a SOL but that may not even start for years after you think it started. Contact an attorney that can delve into this in more detail.
I am on probation and have had my medical Marijuana card for a year but District attorney says no more. It's against probation rules to violate federal law which Marijuana does. Can they do that when it is medical and state says I can?
answered on Jun 21, 2021
The medicinal marijuana is a license granted by the state just like a driver license and can be revoked. Your probation officer is correct that it is still federally prohibited and thus would be violation of payroll because in that condition you are to not violate any laws not just state. He/she is...

It was a tow company that impounded my vehicle due to a traffic stop and me not having proper updated tags; which I also hear that insurance is voluntary unless you’re operating a commercial vehicle. The tow company is currently suspended via the tax commission on the Secretary of State website.
answered on Jun 21, 2021
First - insurance is not voluntary, hence the reason it is called compulsory insurance. There is a minimum amount required by law.
As far as the tow company is concerned, you need to actually verify they are suspended and not merely on a website which may or may not be updated. They could... View More

You do not give enough detail to thoroughly answer your question. However, if there was no enforceable binding agreement of contract then you do not have a lot of option. You possibly could sue them for it but then it is what can the evidence show for a oral agreement. You should contact legal... View More

Contact an attorney specialized in estate and/or probate issues. Sooner the better it sounds like.

Contact a family law attorney and pursue a paternity action along with custody of the children. This is not something you should attempt without an attorney because it could create additional issue later if you did it solo.

Based on the limited information in the question the short answer is NO. The child being grounded does not supersede a court order visitation schedule.

If you are the legal guardian then ultimately you have the control over the child and where they stay or do not stay. There was a reason the court put the guardianship in place to begin with. Contact an attorney to discuss your options but based on the limited information that is given here it... View More

This can be achieved with a will / trust. Since you are aware this will be contested, or you suspect it will be, then do not try to use a free form or the cheap way. You need to invest, more specifically your mom will need to invest in a qualified attorney to draft this for her. There needs to... View More
