The pandemic and if I do take them out I won’t be aloud to come get my kids of a certain period of time as punishment. What can I do about this?

It depends on what your court order says. If the order grants you a defined schedule of visitation - alternate weekends from 6 pm Friday to 6 pm Sunday, for example - and your ex-wife is interfering with that schedule, you can file a rule to show cause in court to seek enforcement of that...

It was surveyed when my grandfather sold it to her. Does it need to be done again? There are no liens or judgements against the property. She owns it free and clear we just don't know where to start or what the simplest method would be. Thanks in advance.

She could have a new deed prepared conveying her 100% interest in the property to you. Your question doesn't provide any information as to why she would want to do that. 1) If she is wanting to transfer her property in anticipation of entering a nursing home, she can have a deed prepared that...

Refusal to talk to DSS will not make them go away and may result in DSS taking the case to family court. I suggest that you get a consultation with a family court lawyer in your area who has experience handling DSS cases and get some advice.

No, you both have a right to be in the marital home unless and until the family court grants to the home to one of you in a court hearing.
