Its not illegal unless there is a court order specifically mentioning that your child is not to be around your boyfriend (for example, if he is a child abuser, your ex may understandably not want his child exposed to that kind of person).

OK - let me get this straight - you and mother-in-law jointly owned a house - how - as tenants in common or as joint tenants with right of survivorship?

answered on Jul 12, 2014
You say your grandmother "gave :you 2 acres of land. Did she transfer ownership or merely allow you to put your mobile home on the land?
Paying taxes on land you do not actually own is meaningless. You acquire no rights in the land.
If the land was subdivided and 2 acres were... View More

Yes and no. Child support orders are prospective in that child support runs from the date the child support petition is filed. However, caselaw permits a mother (its usually the mother) to seek retroactive support from the man. This support is not based on the child support guidelines but allows... View More

is it from the date of the malpractice, the date it started, the time when I realized it, or from the time the physical problems started as a result of medical neglect?

2 years from the date of the alleged malpractice. There is a discover rule though which may extend this to the time of discovery. Examples may be having surgery and the doctor leaves a sponge or medical instrument inside you - in such case you would have no reason to know until some other event... View More

There's legal and there's quasi-legal. Should they? No. Can they? Maybe.

Your question makes no sense.
There is no such thing as a "quick" claim deed. This is a mispronunciation of "quit" claim deed.
A quitclaim deed is a deed by which you transfer land to someone else - its usually used in transfers between family members... View More

Is your name still on the deed to the house (you indicate yes)? If so, then you have to be given notice if any foreclosure complaint is filed and of any sale. You will have up to 10 days after the sale becomes final to leave once the new owner acquires the property.

The house just sit there the taxes are kept up but the house is abandoned
answered on Jul 11, 2014
You do not "claim" a house that is abandoned. Someone has to be the record owner of a house. Who is it? Have you checked the real estate records? Does a bank own it (as in the case of a foreclosure) or a person? If a person, is the person still alive? If they are dead, has an... View More
