Please make sure that you take whatever proof that you have regarding the concerns to an attorney who will be... View More
We are being investigated on allegations of drug use and have complied with drug screening, an initial interview, and a home safe test. She assured us that we met the standards during the interview and home test. I'm still very worried and scared after reading horror story upon horror story.

If CPS is ever involved parents should seek immediate legal assistance. If you are still unsure about your case consult an attorney. It is your job to speak up as a parent. Good luck.

No your current husband is not responsible for child support of a child not his.
The down payment for this house was from my dad’s house he got from my mom and dad’s divorce. Not sure if these info helps.

Sounds like the house is separate property. She can live in house until her death. If she sales then most if not all of the proceeds go to the children of father. Detailed consultation advised however. Good luck. 888-343-4529.
I had an agreed order in Texas, which has an “agreed” child support order on a 50/50 agreement. I recently received a letter for child support review. I’m the custodial parent. Even though there’s an “agreed” amount, can I ask for a review?
answered on Feb 15, 2020
Sure you can ask for a review to the OAG. Whether any changes will be granted is a another issue. Good luck. 888-343-4529.

I am still on the current VA loan but she took sole responsibility for the house per the divorce decree. She's asking me to refinance the VA loan so the interest is dropped significantly. Will this effect me in any way beyond my current situation? Would her being solely responsible for the... View More

You probably won’t qualify to refinance since you do not own any interest in that house. However, it will benefit you if she refinances the debt in your name. I don’t know the current loan situation. But, it sounds like you’re the one for paying the loan if she doesn’t pay it. Good luck.
Will they tell her it was me? I dont want her to know it was me. The babies are always dirty hungry and she keeps them in a dirty motel and around drugs

If you have not answered or showed up in court yet you may be able to request venue change. But, it has to be done as your 1st pleading or with your first pleading. An attorney should be consulted. Fight for that custody issue if that’s what you’ve been doing. Good luck. 888-343-4529.
