My parents convinced me to relinquish my rights when I was 18. I stayed living with them to raise my daughter for 15 years. I am now married and living on my own and they will not allow my daughter to live with me. Is there anything I can do to get my daughter back with me?
answered on Jun 24, 2019
You only mention that you relinquished your rights. Is it possible that your daughter was not formally "adopted"? If not, then you may have parental rights as they may not have even filed any documentation with the court. If they have formally adopted her then that will be a harder... View More

Gathering all of your evidence about your current income and how it has changed from the intial determination is where you should start.

So we had the same address and I always carried my daughter on my insurance. She never asked for support until I stopped paying a loan for her. I gave her support every month through my bank. I live in Texas.

You should defend yourself considering these facts. Possible offsets for child support.

Judges issue orders for enforcement. Police officers just follow directions from judges. Not sure of all your facts. All I can say is that if you are under any order of a court that it should be followed or modified if is no longer working.

It will depend on when the children were moved and when the actual filing was made. Consult a Colorado attorney if case is pending there to respond. In general, the jurisidiction of the court is the one where the child has resided 6 months prior to the filing. After discussing this with a... View More

Look for a probate attorney in the county in which your father passed. If it was in Atascosa County then that is the best place to begin your search for the attorney.

The visitation rights are not contingent on whether the party can pay child support or not. They have rights and if not abided by you can be held in contempt of court by the judge. Hopefully, you all can work together to move forward in a positive fashion for the benefit of the child. Good luck.... View More

Sounds like you may already have enough grounds/violations. Seek an attorney to pursue your issues. There is no set amount on violations of court order.
What is the outcome if she continues to do that and what advice can you give me

Read the order and make sure you are at the location specified in the order at the time identified in the order. Keep records. Record exchange. Text her that you are present. You can also call police to make a report. If all this fails then take court action by getting an attorney to pursue your... View More

You need to bring court action. It sounds as though there is an order in place. You have valid rights. If you do nothing then she will argue that you have abandoned them and could possibly succeed on an adoption.
Husband stop paying. Can I file with the court or do I need a lawyer to file?

You can file by yourself. It just may be frustrating to do so. If he did not agree to have it garnished from his paycheck then it won't be able to done unless he agrees. Your best bet is to see if the costs of hiring an attorney outweight the amount to be gained in spousal support. The... View More

You should pursue the case and obtain an attorney if the other driver was ticketed if your daughter sustained injuries. There may be other options considering the facts of the accident and whether you also have coverages that can apply. Of course there are time limitations on a lot of claims.... View More
