Only his name is on the title to the property.

Anything is possible. Whether his request for visitation is granted depends entirely on how you draft your documents and what evidence you present to the court that Dad having visitation or custody is not in the child's best interests. To make sure you present your evidence properly and prepare... Read more »
Daughters husband left her while pregnant. They have a two year old as well. He makes less than a third of what she does and rents a room. He also has a girlfriend who stays over. The two year old is a boy. It would seem to me that environment of a rented room in a stranger's house would not be... Read more »
As long as the child would have his own bed in Dad’s home, the court is not going to deprive Dad of custodial rights simply because he can’t afford a bigger place.

we had a failed IVF cycle at a clinic that was a terrible experience from start to finish. Since then, another doctor told me that the treatment (starting stimulation on day 21, retrieval on day 7/8) "makes no sense", and others have seconded this. I've asked the clinic why this was done this way... Read more »
In the absence of injury, you cannot maintain a medical malpractice case. There must be an act of negligence that is causally related to an identified injury. If this failed cycle of IVF reduced your chances of success with subsequent cycles or attempts, then maybe you have a basis for a lawsuit.... Read more »
Planning on putting in the paper to ask for visitation. We have an agreement through child support but she's making it difficult to see them

You do not have legal standing to get custody of your niece. If you mean "legal guardianship", Dad being in the picture would be an obstacle and your request would likely be denied. If you believe your niece is really being abused, my suggestion would be to contact child protective services and... Read more »
Specifically in California what does the following clause, as written, mean as far splitting retirement accounts in equitable distribution?
