You can sign over rights. But, if it is not your child then it would be better off learning that 1st. Then you would not be responsible at all. You should get an attorney in your area to assist you with this as soon as possible. Good luck.
ER with bad forehead lacerations, car is totalled, can I sue for medical and new car expenses after insurance payments?, our car was 5 years old?
answered on Feb 17, 2019
Speak to an attorney as soon as possible. You have limited time to seek recovery for your damages. Actual medical expenses and those for permanent disfigurement will probably be allowed. Good luck to you.

If you have temporary orders in place concerning this issue you have to follow them. Your question does not give facts as to whether a divorce action has been filed as of yet. Locking one's spouse out of the house can be problematic. It is best to ask the court to lay out instructions since... View More

You have to file a motion to modify the prior court order. Get an attorney if you are serious about such.
If not, at what age can he choose for himself?
answered on Feb 12, 2019
Regardless of the age of the child the judge still ultimately has the final call on this issue. 12 is an age that the courts do give a good deal of credence to their opinion.

He is not enrolled in high school and wants to move here to start fresh but she won't authorize him to move without a legal agreement to sign. She said she will sign it immediately. What form do I fill out to send to her? Can signatures be motorized at two separate times?
answered on Feb 8, 2019
You need to change the order and that can be done with an attorney's assistance. A document with the judge's approval is the best way to handle this situation. Any changes just done without a judge's signature may not hold up if there are disputes later. Good luck.
Who is correct? I would think this to be fairly obvious but I believe my attorney has ulterior motives in how this case is resolved and is trying to keep me from pushing the issue of having a petition to intervene struck.
answered on Feb 8, 2019
An intervention is when a party joins in a suit because it has an interest in the outcome of the issues at hand. It sounds like you and your attorney are having a miscommunication problem. Hopefully, just on this issue. Ask for a conference and just tell your attorney you don’t understand... View More
The restaurant painted the step and sidewalk the very next day after her accident. We have photos and proof.
answered on Feb 7, 2019
She may very well have a case. We would be willing to listen to additional facts to determine if such is really a case worth pursuing. If the sidewalk is under the control of the city then the restaurant may have some good arguments for not having to pay. Feel free to contact us at 888-343-4529... View More
The mother of my kids is asking for child support now , but she’s never worked in her life and our kids are 8 and 9yrs old .. she only goes to school but has changed majors 3 times already . She’s been going to school for 8-9 years now and doesn’t let me claim kids on income tax.
answered on Feb 7, 2019
Yes, she can request child support regardless of how much she makes. Child support is based on your income if she has them primarily. You should still retain an attorney to represent your rights if she does file any actions. 888-343-4529 if you need us.
We had no idea that she was dating a criminal and is now dating another guy and he has been staying over with her for about for months but we have not been able to meet him or talk to her and when we pick up or drop off our son she never comes out. What can we possibly do about that? She is also... View More
answered on Feb 7, 2019
You can file a motion to modify and depending on all of the facts request primary custody of the child. Then she would be responsible for paying child support.

You should file your own action to modify the court order in place based on all that you have stated in your question. The standard of proof for this is a lesser burden than that in a protective order request. Let us know if you need assistance. 888-343-4529.
