Sounds like you don’t have any specifics in place upon your initial filing for divorce. In general both parents have rights to their children. Get temporary orders in place if you’re concerned.

You can have them live with you primarily if your order is modified 1st to reflect such. Speak to a attorney regarding your desires.

Read your order and follow the order in regards to notifications. Even if not it is a good idea to convey important information about your child to the other parent.

Me and my ex are expecting a child in May. He wants to pay child support, but not care for our child. I want to have equal responsibility for caring for our child. Is it legal for him to neglect responsibility?

The only way to address this is to file for divorce and request temporary orders. Good luck.

Custody issues can be complex. We understand. But, you should consider posting your particular questions.
More than likely the father will not sign anything he doesn't even get involved Mom voluntarily signed her rights Through a notary And 2 witnesses Do we have a standing for adoption
answered on Jul 13, 2019
If you already have “full custody” then I’ll assume for this question you have court ordered custody. Yes, you have standing to seek adoption. Get an attorney to proceed. Good luck. 888-343-4529.
I sold all of my things when we moved in together. Also, he sold my car and purchased a vehicle for me that I can not afford.. he did this so I could take all of our kids to their functions. I have two children, he has one living with us.

Consult an attorney to establish temporary order once you are ready to file for divorce concerning your ability to stay in home until divorce.
I have not had my custody case resolved nor have I had a court date since 09/2018. My child went to visit her dad(w/o) a custody agreement 12/2017. He did not return her. I filed a custody case and was able to get a temporary agreement thru mediation- an msa-which expired 08/2018. Unfortunately,... View More

This is hearbreaking. You should consult with your family members to seek financial assistance and assert your rights. You need to get involved with the CPS case. Even if you can not get a lawyer you should at least contact CPS to let them know that you need to have information on what is going... View More

You can not force a parent to visit. You can file for child support and then that person is responsible whether he visits or not. The Attorney General assists with establishing child support orders. Connect with them.
they both lied to me about my daughter whereabouts and when I went to pick her up at his mothers they told me I was contempt of court and she threatened me to take her away from me. the fathers wasn’t around
answered on Jul 9, 2019
The father can take his child to wherever he chooses on his own time unless your order dictates otherwise.

If there is no order in place then he should petition the court to establish his parental rights over his son.
Since before she can remember she has been in and out of homeless shelters, being evicted and staying in hotels, I believe it is in her best interest to be emancipated and stay with me until she is older because her Situation is very unstable and her father is very possessive
answered on Jun 26, 2019
She would have to show that she can take care of herself in order to be emancipated. If she has to stay with someone else they it is probably going to be hard to prove this.
Passed away in October 2018 but now my sister in law has them and she said that cps told her that they are wards of the state unless someone takes them in..our case has been closed by the way and we asked cps if they told her that and they told us that they don't know who or why they told her...

Contact a lawyer right away and provide them with all of the orders from the court. If you do not have them then they should obtain copies from the court. Your parental rights outweigh sister in law's rights. However, if you do not act right away then you are compromising your case. Good luck.
