You will to gather funds to hire any attorney. I'm not sure what "not so expensive" is as most attorneys have a retainer and charge by the hour. Contact attorneys directly so you can get pricing and provide them with more information on what you are seeking.

An attorney can draft paperwork that can be signed by the parties. But there are certain requirements that must be met in order for that paperwork to be legally binding. Speak directly with an attorney who can assist you in a legal power of attorney.

I would advise you to hire an attorney. The court will determine whether the child can be removed from multiple jurisdictions and where the child can be taken, especially considering they may be awarding temporary visitation, which will be impacted if you move further away from the other parent.
I'm trying to enforce a divorce decree, but my ex-wife is not following the court order. She has not paid the maintenance fees on our timeshare, which was paid for in full. She has plenty of money, so her refusal to pay the fees is out of spite. I have written correspondence from her that... View More

You would need to look online and see what you can find if you are not hiring an attorney. A motion to enforce is not the action I would suggest filing in this situation. But again, if you cannot seek legal counsel, you will need to use family law resources online for assistance.
Do I have to comply since I don't have rights to child or can my child decide where he lives they are 16years old
answered on Aug 5, 2024
You no longer have any rights. Any time the child was allowed to live with you did not make you the legal guardian, it was simply a gift. The adopted parents still have all rights.
I have filed a legitimation petition and it was responded with contest. I requested discovery and a court date has been set.

What's the process? Do I give him to her? What do I do?
answered on Jul 25, 2024
If you have no guardianship then the children will need to be returned or you could be charged with kidnapping. Guardianship did not transfer to you. You have no legal rights to those children.
It’s being paid to Georgia Department of Child Support Services.

If you contact the Division of Child Support Services they should stop the support. If not, you may need an order from the court to stop the garnishment.

If a judge says you have to appear then you have to appear. And I believe your motion to dismiss is going to be denied as well.

If you don't agree then you don't have an uncontested divorce. An uncontested divorce requires an agreement on everything. If not you file for divorce and have the other spouse served.

Hire an attorney. More information is needed to determine what rights you. may have as a grandparent. Grandparents rights are definitely secondary, especially if the mother or father do not agree to you having custody or visitation. If you are seeking to take custody away from a parent, I would...

Lived together for 9 years, I have paternity but not legitimacy, child is 4 years old
answered on Jun 3, 2024
I am unaware of what you are asking about and what your ex is referring too. But if you want to legitimize a child, there are steps you take within the court system to do so. And I would consider legitimacy before the child gets much older.

You can file for child support through the state or through a private attorney. A private attorney is likely to be faster and the child support amount is likely to be more accurate.

I'm not sure what your question is here because it seems incomplete. But until you get a court order giving you custody or guardianship over your grandchildren, the mother has sole legal and physical custody and can take them at anytime. And if she ever tries to take them back and you refuse... View More
