Can we change his last name to mine given that his current last name is his moms maiden name and the bio Dad does not have any custody?
answered on Mar 28, 2024

A license to do business is not property, is not an asset that can be divided and presumably carries no monetary value.
The other party whom child is currently with is not compliant with verbal or written agreement of visitations and unresponsive to any messages or phone calls from counterparty

If it's relevant, it's "legal". Either party can request production of any documents that are relevant to the divorce case.

answered on Jan 5, 2024
