You need to consult in person with a family lawyer in your area. Find one that offers a free consultation. If you believe that you cannot afford a lawyer then contact the local legal aid office for assistance.
The non custodial parent has court for non payment of child support. Do I have to be there
You should ask the person who is prosecuting the case (DOR?). Sometimes you need to be there and other times you do not.
I have been trying to get custody of my 2 year old niece since July 2019, I have done everything as far as background check, home inspection, drug test and weekly visits.

Unless your ex agrees to the change you must return to court to ask permission. I cannot comment on Kentucky law but in general you must file where the child lives.
You can file a Petition for Modification. You must be able to prove a substantial change in circumstances from when the Judge ruled the first time.
File a Motion to Enforce the Parenting Plan.
My son is 13 and his father is not the disciplinarian. My 13 yo is using the contention between us to manipulate the situation. I don't want to put a child in this situation.
Your remedy is to document what is happening and return to court to address the situation with the Judge.

He is spending hundreds a week on daycare for a child that been proven not to be his. We share an account and Irs not justifiable that he’s spending the money when it’s
Mine as well. Ps:we share 3 BIOLOGICAL kids
As long as you remain married you are legally considered a financial "unit" sharing income and expenses. Your separate financial lives begin when you file for divorce. Until then you are each responsible for the other's financial choices, within reason.
Due to financial problems and no permanent place of living my minor son and me temporarily moved abroad to my parents’ house. That was agreed with my husband. But shortly after, he decided to separate and then to divorce (FL). We were married for almost 9 years.
Alimony is based on one party's need and the other party's ability to pay, as well as the length of the marriage. Where you live is not a specific factor. Child support is based on each parent's net income. The number of overnights that the child spends with each parent is also a factor. If your... Read more »
Father was not at birth, did not sign birth certificate, and has not been present in the child's life since birth. My son is now 4 going on 5 and I want to make sure he has no rights due to violence and lack of responsibility.
In Florida if you were not married and the father has never taken any legal action then the mother has full legal rights. The father would have to go to court to assert his rights.
Both of us signed a lease to move into a home on October 1st, however we have since separated and he has taken everything, the kids, all the money, cut my access to bank accounts and is now telling me if I show up to the new home on move in day he will have me removed by police?

If your name is on the lease then you have an equal right to occupy the property. On the other hand I do not recommend having a confrontation. Based on what you are describing you need to consult with a local family lawyer and get in to court to protect your rights.
I am not listed as my daughter's father on her BC because at that time I did not want to be part of it. I showed up 2 years after she was born and now want to be part of her life. The mother lives with her and her older sister (not my daughter) in FL and I live in SC. What do I have to do if the... Read more »
You need to file a Petition for Paternity where the mother and child live. You will get a timesharing plan and also a child support obligation. A lawyer is not required but you should achieve a better result with proper legal guidance.
Married November 2014. Separated February 2016. She left the marriage. She file was divorce and asked alimony for $400 a month in alimony for 2 years. She feels I owe her money on accounts that were all under her name.
Alimony is based on her need and your ability to pay. Since your intact marriage lasted sixteen months an alimony award is unlikely.
She has a live in boyfriend and his two children. I would like custody of my children as I am able to provide for them if I am not paying mortgage for a home I am not living in.
You are always going to share your children with the mother. If you want to alter the timesharing schedule then you need to return to court on a Petition for Modification. There you can explain to the court why the schedule should be changed.
You do not mention whether there are any current court orders regarding the child. If there is a current court order then you need to return to that court and ask for a modification. If there is no current court order then you must go to court for either a dissolution of marriage case or a... Read more »
