Your divorce decree should have outlined a procedure to be followed vis a vis presentation of and payment on the split of medical expenses. Many do not. Three years is not likely to be viewed by a court as too long a period for her to present documentation showing 1)the initial bill, 2) the amount... View More

Wage withholding is the rule for court ordered child support, and has been since 1987.

By "we" do you mean you and the child, or all three of you. Assuming the child was born in FL, did he or the both of you do the things necessary under Florida law to establish a legal father-child relationship. If the answer to that question is yes, then the father can petition a court... View More

This adoption is not going to happen unless you are married to the man you want to adopt your child.

Yes. The father would have to be notified and sign off on the change of legal custody. The actual procedures vary from court to court, but you can expect at the least to have to file a motion and a parenting proceeding affidavit to reopen the case. If both parents are in agreement, the court may... View More

Not without a court order giving him parenting time.

The county of residence of the children.

Ohio Revised Code Sec. 3109.051(B)(1) may provide an opportunity to obtain visitation. You would need to consult an experienced family law attorney. If there has been NO court involvement with this child, including no child support order, custody order, divorce from the biological father, you... View More

You are essentially talking about paraphrasing someone else's writings. There is not a blanket or pat answer to your question, operating in a vacuum. I would not engage in any for profit enterprise of the nature you described without first showing a copyright attorney your paraphrased or... View More

Yes, she should be represented by an attorney, given that the "program" apparently did not take the first time. You did not say whether she is over eighteen years of age.

Yes, but you should not wait to go after that arrearage. His obligation to pay child support ended when the child graduated high school or turned nineteen, whichever came first. Your local child support agency should have been on this. Contact them and find out why they haven't enforced the order.

Depending on the nature of his communications, whether the communications can be proved, and whether these communications have caused your wife emotional distress, she may be able to obtain a stalking civil protection order. Also, if their marriage ended with a dissolution, most separation... View More

Not to be flip, but you can start by standing up for yourself. He apparently has no court-ordered parenting time, but you have made a great case for him by leaving the kids with him, placing the kids in the school district in which he lives, and allowing him to make "all" the decisions...

You have provided inadequate information to give anything other than a qualified "yes." He will do jail time if pleads to or is found guilty of the OVI, unless he is a first time offender and can afford an interlock devise. Given that there must have been children in the car, he very... View More

If paternity had been established through a CSEA or court before your most recent filing for father's rights, have her served in NC as soon as possible. Personal service would be best. The NC courts ordinarily would not be able to assume jurisdiction over parental rights issues until the child... View More

If you have sole legal custody of the child, your ex when he goes to court to try to modify the custodial arrangement, would have to demonstrate a significant change in your circumstances or those of the child since the last court order addressing custody, presumably when you received sole legal...

There are too many facts not contained in your question to provide you with an answer. I will say that generally a spouse cannot be put out of, or may return to, the marital residence. There are numerous qualifiers or exceptions to that general rule, and they are dependent on the specific facts of... View More

In Ohio, an OVI is pretty much permanently on your record. Since April 6, 2017, the look-back time for sentence enhancement based a prior OVI (not a refusal) was increased from six years to ten years.

If the child would be adopted by a person other than your spouse (step-parent adoption), your parental rights would be terminated along with those of the biological father.
