A 20-year old is a minor in Mississippi.

You will need to talk to the prosecutor about dropping the charges. The charges are brought by the State; you are a witness to the crime. It will be the prosecutor’s decision about a dismissal.

It sounds like you may have been served with a subpoena to appear as a witness. Look at the top section of the first page and see what the title of the document is.

You should hire an attorney and file a contempt action against him for failing to comply with the court order. You would ask for payment of the arrears, incarceration of the other parent, and reimbursement of attorney’s fees, court costs, and other expenses.

The father should hire an attorney and file an action for visitation rights. If he already has court ordered visitation rights he should file a contempt action and ask the court to incarcerate the mother, reimburse attorney’s fees and costs, and enforce the previous order. Short of that, he is at... View More

You will need to redirect your question to an attorney licensed in Florida.

No. You cannot put yourself up for adoption, and you cannot be adopted without the consent of both of your parents, unless a Court has terminated their parental rights.

The quick answer is that the money taken from your disability money in the name of your child is child support. You do not say if there is a court order in place and, if so, what it says. That information is necessary to say whether the apportionment satisfies any directive from the Court.

Your question is confusing. Whose social security number are you referring to…the child or the parent?

Once a person is determined to be the biological parent of a child, that person can be ordered to pay child support.

Depending on what the POA allows you to do, you may be able to file an action against him to prevent the move or an eviction if he has already moved in.

If your in-laws are in agreement, you and they will sign a joint petition and an agreed judgment. If not, you will have to serve them with a petition seeking custody. You will have to show a material change in circumstances adversely affecting your child that has occurred in their home…not that... View More

What you are describing is a civil matter. You will have to collect on the judgment through the civil court through garnishment, seizure of assets, etc.

It depends who has physical custody of the daughter by court order. If Dad does, then, yes, he can take her. If Mom or Grandmother do, then no. If there is no court order, then the question is open; however, this will necessitate filing an action in court to settle the issue.

Yes. This is illegal.

Because your children are living independently from your ex-wife and your son is over 21, you should petition the court immediately to stop the child support and grant you credits toward any arrearage for the months that they have been living separately from her. They will not do this... View More

His immigration status should not affect the distribution in the divorce, although you can try to make such a claim. I don’t believe it will get you very far though. Any questions specific to his status should be directed to an immigration attorney.

Yes, you still have to pay any arrearage that has accrued. Child support cannot be forgiven once it has vested; however, you may be able to receive credits against the arrearage, depending on the circumstances. Whether you are entitled to credits is entirely up to the Court.

The requirements for a process server are: 1. 18 years or older, 2. not convicted of a felony, 3. not a party to the lawsuit. So, the answer is yes, if the ex-wife meets these requirements.

No, it does not mean that she is entitled to nothing. The court can grant the divorce to the husband on the ground of adultery. The court will then move to apportioning the property, awarding custody, and setting support in accordance with the prevailing case law. That is not to say that the... View More

Your friend should consult with an attorney as soon as possible about taking steps to have the child returned to her. Once the agreement is given full faith and credit in Mississippi, it can be enforced and modified here.
