He won’t let me see or hear from her an he filed for full custody we live in separate states
You need to retain counsel in the state where husband filed. It is unfortunate that you did not take any legal action as soon as you were on notice that husband was not going to return your child after the summer break. Don't waste any more time. Use the "find a lawyer" link at the top of the... Read more »
I have not seen my daughter since a year ago when her mother took her away from me, my daughter is afraid of me now and the judge is aware that her mother had been coaching her and put her against me. Since my daughter doesn't want to see me how can I get her back. Is it instant after I file or do... Read more »
Based on the questions you are asking here and your reference to FL305, it sounds to me like you don't really know what you are doing, how to achieve he result you want or why you were asked to complete an FL305. The best way to get the kind of help you clearly need is to hire an attorney to... Read more »
I am separated from my husband and we are going forward with a divorce. Currenrly he is paying child support and alimony but taking out taxes and medical. I’m unsure of how it’s calculated and what my rights are
The calculation for coming up with an amount for child support is done using a computer program called Dissomaster. There is a free version available here: https://childsupport.ca.gov/guideline-calculator/ Dissomaster can be used to calculate spousal support before judgment is entered.... Read more »

Review California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1350 - 3.1354, and Code of Civil Procedure 437c. A motion for summary judgment must include some type of evidence, which may be in the form of a declaration, that establishes for the court that there are no defenses available to the defendant and that you...

You need to ask this question of attorneys licensed to practice law in the state in which your court orders were issued.

It sounds like you don't actually have any custody/visitation orders (and child support) issued by the court. If you want to get some control and predictability over the situation, you should get formal custody/visitation orders. You can start by filing a petition for parentage and a request for...

Bought the house in 1983, married in 1990, added 2nd story in 1992, upgraded original floor in 2004 all with zero financial support from her. Refinanced many times but with just my name on the title. Do have a current HELOC under both names.
Because you purchased the house before the date of marriage, it is your separate property. The community acquired an interest in this property resulting from mortgage payments and improvements made during the marriage. That interest is not necessarily equal to 50% of the home's total value.
I think my husband will be difficult to talk to once we start this process. We bought a house together but it's not paid off. I only make about $1500 a month right now. Would the kids and I be able to stay in our house? I want to have equal custody rights, though I will probably be with the kids a... Read more »
Once you file for divorce you can request temporary orders for custody, spousal and child support to assist you while the case is pending.
Ask me to call child support and ask to get lower payment or waive...what legal can he do about his back payments
He can get on a payment plan and ask CSSD to reinstate his passport application rights. See https://cssd.lacounty.gov/reduce-my-debt/. While this is a link to Los Angeles County's program, CSSD is a statewide entity and likely has this same program (aka COAP) in county where Dad's child support... Read more »
what rights do I have to the child?
How old is the baby now? Do you live with them? Have you held yourself out as this child's father since his birth? Are you the biological parent of this baby? Please feel free to contact me directly to answer these questions. tobie@twaxmanlegal.com
I am now married and bought a house and flexible work schedule as of February 2018,i am Afraid my sons dad will not let my son live with me, he thinks I abandoned him when I see him every other weekend and provide for him too
Don’t leave it up to the Dad to decide whether you can see your child. File a request for order with the court and try to work something out with the Dad at the pre hearing mediation.
Can I sue for Legal Malpractice? I have already been assigned an investigator by the state board of ethics. My lawyer never filed for Alimony although I was a housewife for 19 years. My ex-husbands Anuity and retirement is to be split equally between us yet I have not received anything as of... Read more »
Wait to see what the outcome of the ethics committee investigation is.
There is an existing order and wage garnishment in place. The balance of back child support is in excess of 49 thousand dollars, will his wages still be garnished after she turns 18? If not how does that balance ever get paid off?
Support for the 18 year old should end when he graduates from high school, not just on the reaching of age 18. The arrears however, continues to be owed until it is paid off. The wage garnishment can continue for that purpose. You could even go back to court and get the garnishment amount... Read more »

Parents of his friends buy his hygiene n supply still receive cash for him but he is hopeless this can't be right
His status as an adopted child is irrelevant to any part of your question. The impediment to his legal right to sue is his age. He will need a guardian ad litem to sue on his behalf. That being said, it is completely unclear what it is you think would be the basis for a lawsuit.

What's your question? If Mom and the other parent cannot reach an agreement, then mom needs to apply to the court for a move-away order.
We created an MSA. He lost his job so we verbally decided to lower the payment temporarily. He now wants to lower it again without my consent. I dont know how to get him to pay me what we agreed on
Informal agreements are not court orders. If you want something enforceable you need to get a court order or judgment. If what you have is a court order or part of a judgment then it should not be modified informally and only modified by a new court order.
Hi petitioner filed for separation of marriage (FL100) and then filed motion to dismiss 20 days later. Do I need to file a response if petitioner filed motion to dismiss shortly after she filed for separation of marriage?
A motion to dismiss? If she filed a petition and you have not yet responded, all she needs to file is a Request for Dismissal. It is not a motion and there is no hearing. If the case is dismissed, you do not need to file your response. If she filed an actual motion and there is a hearing date... Read more »

Your sister does not have legal standing to get custody of your children. There isn’t enough information in your post to discuss her standing to apply for legal guardianship.
