Without a court order establishing custody and parenting time, he has as much right to his children as do you
He has never paid his child support for my three children. He has another child with the woman he lives with. He doesn't follow through with splitting payments on things for the kids or visitation times. I've offered to allow him to purchase what they need instead of giving me money in... View More

If there are no court orders requiring support he would have a moral obligation which is not enforceable. Consult an experienced family law attorney who will need to obtain additional information to properly assist you.
If that's true, does the court agreement pertaining to visitation go until the child is 19?

You should pose your question for family law attorneys in Colorado

No. The stepchild is related only by your marriage and is not someone who you are legally obligated to support

A reasonable amount to ask for spousal support in Michigan
answered on Jun 5, 2017
Not enough information. Spousal support depends on a number of factors including the incomes of the parties. It's possible $250 per week may be too little. But without more historical information concerning your marriage and current circumstances, one is not able to answer your question.
The police ask me a domestic violence questionnaire paper n I answer no to all of them n ask if I want to put a po on him n I said. So what will be his chances. N I want him back home.

The general principle is that you are merely a witness at this point in time. The fact that you do not want to press charges is not relevant. You have no control over the prosecution of this matter. A subpoena will be issued for your appearance at the time of hearing. Speak with somebody in your... View More
It will be another three weeks to close. Is there anyway to get her out of house now as it is not a good situation
answered on Jun 3, 2017
No. Assuming you are living together in the home, you're going to have to file eviction proceedings once titled in your name.
Now I am stuck with pYments and over mileage fees. Can I go after her for what she is nOt paying
answered on Jun 1, 2017
No, in my opinion. The lease was in your name and she was driving with your knowledge and permission.

I recieved a Road Spill and No Medical Certificate ticket at the beginning of May, the city cops never got the paperwork sorted out and the court date on the ticket was never set up. The cops just reissued the ticket to me today, and even though it was signed by the same cop, it was given to me by... View More

No. Violation is a violation whether state or city law. The law under which the ticket is issued determines what governmental entity receives the share of the fine and costs. The 2 minutes makes no difference whatsoever.
What kind of case does the father have?
answered on May 31, 2017
Have no idea what you're asking. There are not enough facts/details to determine your issue.
what is needed to claim rights to the house?
answered on May 30, 2017
My suggestion is that you hire a probate attorney. While there might be a court ordered paternity test, was there ever an order entered stating he was the biological father? Was there a wife who survived the decedent? Was there a Will? These are the questions which must be answered and that's... View More
I was on tanf for 5 months, however I have recently closed my case as I graduated college and found a job. My case will be closed at the time the settlement conference for the child support takes place. Can I refuse the child support- as that now that I am off of aid, I really don't need it.
answered on May 30, 2017
I would assume there is a case in which child support was ordered. Under case law, a parent cannot decline a child's right to receive support. I truly believe you would do a disservice to your child by declining child support. If you don't need the money now, you might later. Take the... View More

While there might not be a court reporter, there more than likely was a video recording if there was an official court hearing.
As to the other 2 questions, there is not enough information.

You can expect to be taken into custody if the court is aware of the warrant.

You should contact the Michigan State Disbursement Office in Lansing, MI. This is the division responsible for receiving and dispersing child support. Is he still working? If yes, is it the same employer? If not, you should contact the Friend of the Court, as a new Income Withholding Order might... View More
