Oftentimes, judges will order you to get a job, come back with a document you filled out showing that you applied at 20 places per month, etc. You have a child and you have a legal obligation to support that child. There are many companies who hire convcited felons.
In the parenting agreement it states "Children are to be with the mother four days before school starts" Today is four days as school starts this Wednesday. Their father is refusing to let the children come home stating it doesnt apply to remote learning and it is outdated. Please help me here.
Before school starts is plain English. It matters not whether learning is remote in that language.
And this lawyer will have him walking away only paying me 20 per month with joint custody
Yes, a lot of people tell others things like that. I do not know the circumstances of your case but things like that are usually b.s.

The primary caretaker of the chil is usually awarded the most parenting time. He will get some parenting time if he requests it.
It is NEVER too late to get a lawyer. This is a misdemeanor, not just a speeding ticket. If court is tomorrow morning, ask the judge for a continuance. It will be a disaster to have this ticket on your record at this age.
or my sister to volleyball can he stop me?
My dad won't go into details but stated that there is an agreement with mom and that would need to be changed first.
You need to have a family meeting with your mom, dad and sister. Confront your mom in the presence of your dad about this so called agreement and see if it can be resolved. The bottom line is you are not going to be able to drive the car when you are on dad's time without dad's... Read more »

Not 50% generally, but 35ish. Maybe more, maybe less. Who makes more $ now. Can you work? There is an issue of a maintenance claim due to such a long marriage. Maintenance factors are at 750 ilcs 5/504.
The man (40) is the child’s (13) mother’s boyfriend (my father)
No one else knows??? The baby will be born in a hospital. Everyone will know. It will be questioned. The mother is probably on a medicaid card.
I can't live with a friend/other family member without the consent of my guardians, but being able to prove that you've lived outside of the guardian household is a requirement for becoming emancipated. How am I supposed to leave the house without being considered a runaway, or risking... Read more »
That is exactly the point. Emancipation just finalizes a situation that has already been allowed to stand bybthe parents. As a result, very few people qualify for emancipation.
The birth certificate. Does she have a right to keep my child away from me? She won’t even let me speak to her on the phone. I don’t have a lot of money. What’s my best course of action, for getting custody/visitation, and getting my name on the birth certificate. I live in Will County, Illinois.
You need to file a parentage action in Will County. First you have to establish that you are the father, before you have any right to custody or visitation, now called parenting rights and responsibilities. So yes, until you are established, she has the right to keep your child away from you.... Read more »

If the father has filed for divorce, he should have his own lawyer. He needs to talk to his lawyer asap. He may also need a lawyer in MI now.
In addition, if the children were present when the mother had someone try to run the father over, dcfs should have been contacted. Also dcfs in mi... Read more »
Money was given to spouse her father and is currently in her separate bank account. Still legally married and should the spouse who received the money have to report it to the lawyer and be split between the 2 spouses?
This is a more complicated question than you may realize. Yes, the lawyer should be aware of all of a client's assets. The first issue is where did the funds come from?
The second issue is where are the funds now?
The third issue is whether or not the funds are marital or... Read more »
My ex and I have an agreement to use a message app to communicate regarding our children. My ex wants to fight in most of the messages so I won't reply immediately. In a recent message, I replied that I needed to speak to my attorney before responding any further on matters of the subject.... Read more »
It really depends on the nature of the problem and whether or not it is time sensitive. If you told her you wanted to talk to your attorney a week ago and you still have not, then that is a problem with you. If you told her that on Friday and she has been bothering you about it all weekend,... Read more »
In our parental order we have a school schedule of 2-2-5-5 for one child and a 7-7 for another child. The diagram shows week 1 Sun to Sat and week 2 Sun to Sat. We started this new schedule on a Sunday for the 2019 school year. There is no verbiage that states it starts on a Sunday, just a diagram... Read more »
I would interpret that as the week starting on Sunday. That is how we write our agreements here.
Current Interest due is about 11K - Principal is $0.00
That will only happen by agreement. The court cannot order it. Usually an offer of a lump sum is made so she gets it all now instead of having to wait years. Like maybe $5500 within 30 days instead.
Maybe $40/month and a court order to look for work.
No address or # for the parents
Yes, you can, but you need to find them first and know that they are working. If you cannot prove that they are working, you are wasting your time and money. A pi can help you find them.
My ex went into Hospital end of December 2019. I have been paying child support this whole time due to our court case being pushed back due to COVID. The last court case we had the judge stopped the child support order, however, didn't "order" the POA to give the child support back... Read more »
If a judge in family court has denied your child support related request, you cannot then take it to small claims court and get a second bite at the apple.
I have a child support case in Chicago but live in Florida. I am current but have arrears I am paying Also monthly. Can I co-sign on a mortgage loan in Florida. without getting lien on the house
Can you? Maybe. Should you? No. Why would youj want to co sign on a house that does not legally belong to you and in which you have no right and no legal recourse if you end up being the person making the payments?
If my husband has been paying child support for both his kids since he divorced his ex wife and has never missed a payment and also sent extra money when needed, mind you this is just a set amount they both agreed on. Now since he married me she’s trying to get back child support from when they... Read more »
I am not sure what he has paid vs. What he should have paid vs. What the court order says. If there is already a court order and she wants some child support from prior to the entry of that court order, i am not sure she can do that. The better course is to bring all of your papers to a family... Read more »
