I hired a private lawyer in 2020. July 2021 our court order was signed by my childrens father. His payments are suppose to come out his check through the state from his job. But it’s been one whole year and the payments are still not right. I have been to the child support office almost every... Read more »

You would probably do better to take all of your paperwork to a private attorney and let him/her review it. The private attorney will be better able to spend the time on trying to determine what is going on with your case. If the court order states a specific amount each month for current support,...

We were sleeping together and my boyfriend found out. We have broken up and I want to remove the peace bond on my ex. How do I do that
answered on Jun 26, 2022
You will need to go back to the court that issued the peace bond and ask for it to be vacated.
The court has issued temporary custody of my child on allegations of child abandonment and neglect however failed to provide any proof of this and I am restrained from having any contact with them until my next court date on Friday.
answered on Jun 23, 2022
You do not say which court entered the order removing your child. The Court will usually err on the side of protecting the child on an emergency basis, but evidence had to have been presented to cause a Judge to make such a ruling. However, the hearing on Friday will be an opportunity to test the... Read more »
The court said I had to pay it. However, a reputable business did the tint and when I got it tested by another business, it is indeed legal all the way around the car. How can I provide this to court after I've already had court? It seems asinine (and more like theft) to force someone to pay a... Read more »

If you have been found guilty in municipal court and 30 days has not passed, you can appeal to county court and bring witnesses to testify about the legality of the tint.

This question has been answered. The only difference between this question and the previous question is that when the sentences run concurrently, the run at the same time. In other words, instead of 10 years supervised release, it is actually 5. You need to talk to your attorney if you are having... Read more »
I did it out of anger and didn’t include the whole story and our daughter will be born in two weeks and I really need him there. They are saying I have to wait until court to drop the charges and even then it’s up to the District attorney. I need advice I’m freaking out!
answered on Jun 20, 2022
What you were told is exactly right. The charge was brought by the State, not you. You are a witness. Whether it is dropped will be up to the prosecutor. This is done to insure that true perpetrators of violence are punished and victims are protected. Criminal charges of any kind should never be... Read more »
Child support is only $100 per month
Incarcerated parent is non custodial parent.
answered on Jun 10, 2022
The child support will continue to accrue each month. Incarceration does not remove his obligation.
answered on Jun 3, 2022
Your child support is late if you do not pay it as of the due date designated in the Order. That may or may not be the 1st day of each month.
I got pregnant by a 15 year old when I was 17 and he turned 16 and I turned 18 before the baby was born. His mother thinks she has rights to our child because he is a minor and is asking for joint custody. What rights and responsibilities does he have being a minor, what rights does she have and...

answered on Jun 3, 2022
You and the father have the same rights and responsibilities as any other parent. However, it is going to be complicated by the fact that he is a minor due to his dependence on his parents for financial support, food, shelter, as well as his disability of minority. However, this does not give his... Read more »
The man was physically and mentally abusive. Will the woman win full custody for this reason no matter what.
answered on May 22, 2022
One of the factors that the court will take into consideration is whether violence has been perpetrated by either party during the relationship, especially if children were present at the time. Our case law and statutes are clear that the party who is found to have been violent during the... Read more »
Grandmother is already taking care of 5 children & can’t take care of an infant. She wants to find a good family to give full custody to. Can she do this without parents signing anything also? G’mother is in Louisiana and new family would possibly be in MS
answered on May 21, 2022
Because the child is a resident of Louisiana, Louisiana statues would govern; therefore, you should contact an attorney licensed in that state.
abandonment in the state of MS, and the non-custodial parent is willing to sign them, but the children aren’t being adopted by someone else, will the non-custodial parent still be required to pay child support after they have relinquished their legal rights?
answered on May 21, 2022
No. Once the parental relationship is terminated, all obligations cease. The exception is that if the non-custodial parent had accrued a child support arrearage prior to the termination and a contempt action was brought to recover those funds, the arrearage is still owed.

Go to the Office of the Chancery Clerk in the county in which your mother resides at the time of her death. You can give one of the deputy clerks your mother’s full name, and they will help you pull the file and allow you to make copies.
The mother abandoned him as well as his 3 other siblings whom I am the father of and moved to TN.
answered on May 4, 2022
I am unclear about whether you are the father or stepfather was of the child in question. You don’t say anything about the natural father being present in the child’s life, so I will assume he is not. You may petition the chancery court in the county in which the child lives and ask for... Read more »
700 monthly he's an mortician they just sent the second contemp court order two weeks ago I did not have to be present
When does he has to make next lump sum payment
answered on Apr 28, 2022
You have to look at the order regarding how he must pay the child support. more than likely there is not a requirement to pay lump sums in specific intervals, except for the monthly support amount. The question is have you had him cited for contempt. If he is not paying and is this far behind, you... Read more »
I have only seen the Will of my son’s late father, who passed in 2021. The will leaves everything to our son. However, his parents took control over his businesses, properties, vehicles, guns, accounts, everything. His father is the executor and has not told me a single thing about what is... Read more »

You should file a objection with the Court and inform the Court what is going on. There is no reason for the beneficiary to be homeless if there is a house that has been left to him. You can get a copy of the Will from the courthouse. Go to the Chancery Clerk’s office in the county where your ex... Read more »
My child is 7. Has never seen her “father”. We just finalized court, he terminated his rights, I agreed. Everything is sealed and done. But I did apply for food stamps.

The estate must go through probate, which should be 4-6 months, depending on how quick the executor and attorney work. Once the Judge signs the Order closing the probate and transferring the property, you can take possession immediately. If you are a minor or without a driver’s license, the... Read more »
