My sons father has his sister in law as his lawyer and they are both falsifying information to the court. Isn’t this a conflict of resolution?

If your family member is an attorney, then they could represent you. In GA, anyone may represent themselves. However, only attorneys may represent others.
Lies he told me prior to our marriage: He has 2 biological minor children (not by me) and he does not pay child support. He does not make the income he told me he made.

I was talking to the manager about leasing my horse. She said she’d be happy to help me out. All the sudden I go to the barn and I’m told I can’t do anything with my horse because she is leased on a contract I’ve never signed or read. She is also making money off this contract which I feel... View More

Meet with a contracts/business law attorney and show the contract there. We really cannot provide dependable information to you when we have not read the agreement's terms.

I just realized the defendant is breaking the order...in many ways
answered on Apr 1, 2021
It is difficult to provide a dependable response given that we have very few facts of the case in your question. Sitting down and speaking with a custody attorney will always be your best course of action.
That said, if I have read your question as you intended it, you would not... View More

In addition to what Mr. Jordan has said, you may also want to re-post your question in the Criminal Law category as your question centers upon criminal law and not family law.

The best advice is always going to be: "Use an attorney." I'm not sure how the attorney was at fault in your question. If the child support order had been signed, the case was, in effect, over. The attorney would not do anything else once the case was over. If you are stating... View More

If it is in the decree then no. The man should not be around the children. Please meet with a family law attorney first (!) before trying to do something on your own. This situation can be tricky and turn ugly very quickly. Good luck!
Court to give her custody back, when we go to court, what can we expect
answered on Mar 26, 2021
This is a question to put to your attorney. You will certainly need counsel to assist you in this case. Under new law you may even have a good shot at this. However, it all begins with the attorney.
I just want to make sure I’m doing everything legally.

It’s a child custody case and I have less than 10 days to find a lawyer. What can I do?

First, find a lawyer now. The lawyer will tell you whether service was proper or not. You should not take a chance on "maybe it was" or "maybe it wasn't" proper service.

In our upcoming retirement, we are considering refinancing our home as a joint mortgage including our daughter and husband. If in the future there is a financial judgment against our daughter or husband, for whatever reason, is the entire home value considered or only their share?
answered on Mar 18, 2021
There are many other pieces of information we would need to provide a competent response. That said, you would not want to include the daughter and husband on the mortgage. Why would you unless they, too, are going to be co-borrowers? Perhaps you are thinking about putting them on the d-e-e-d... View More
