My cousin and his wife (soon to be divorced) are having problems. She walked out on him and her kids to live with her boyfriend months ago. And now is threatining to take the girls away. Is it illegal for her to do so? What should he do?
answered on Oct 17, 2015
I would need more information to adequately answer your question. For starters, it depends on whether there is a court order granting your cousin parenting time. Please have your cousin contact me if he is interested in setting up a consultation at #651.270.6484.

The citation should be sent to the address listed on your driver's license or state issued identification card. There is no law that prevents the Court from mailing a citation/court date to your parents' address.

Someone owe's me close to 1700 and wont pay. I never put anything in writing but has message the person a number of times which he is stating that he owes now he wont return any messages. I have screen shots of all messages.. What can i do and by him being on probation will that help me??
answered on Sep 18, 2014
You should file a claim in Conciliation Court. Unless the debt owed is for court-ordered restitution, the fact that he is on probation won't matter.

Yes, parents can agree that no child support will be exchanged between the parties. However, keep in mind, the judge has the ultimate decision whether an agreement will be accepted. Also, if one parent is receiving certain forms of public assistance the county may have to agree as well.

My answer is - YES. You need an attorney to review your case and determine if there are reasons that the charges should be dismissed or reduced. I offer a free consultation, please feel free to contact me at 651.270.6484.

expeditor. The judge never made us find one. The father has not seen my kids in a year. Can i leave state without his consent with my kids? I know he can't pay to get an expeditor so he can't take me back to court again, can he?
answered on Sep 2, 2014
Because Father has parenting time, you would need either Father's consent or court permission to leave the state. This advice is general and if you want advice specific to your case you can contact me at 651-270-6484.

It depends on how the child support order was written. However, in general, there is no automatic reduction when one of the children become emancipated (turn 18 or graduate from high school). The obligor is still responsible until they file in court asking or a reduction. Again, that would depend... View More

Since your brother shares custody, Mother should not have moved out of the state with the minor child without his agreement or court permission. Your brother should contact an attorney right away before Minnesota loses jurisdiction and the other state gets jurisdiction. I handle these matters,... View More

More information would be needed to fully answer this question.
