I am his only child, but he signed over parental rights when I was 8, to keep from paying child's support, but came back into my life 14 years ago. I am now 47. Do I have any rights, and if so, do I need an attorney?

You should hire a probate lawyer in the county where your father lived to help with this issue.
I am hoping to go into the veterinary field and working with animals.

Rely on the advice of your attorney. You will have to wait until the scheduled court hearing. However you should contact you husband by phone, and email every few days requesting to see the kids for a "visit", lunch, dinner, movie, or other age appropriate activity.

He's fled to Wisconsin after the military and has been in and out of jail since. I dropped two domestic violence cases in Colorado (where he was stationed) out of fear of him. He's now all of sudden claiming our child isn't his and won't pay a cent. Part of the divorce agreement... View More

If there is a court order in force to pay child support, and he is in the military, it's very easy to collect. But it's very obvious that you need an experienced family law attorney to help you. Hire one immediately! He is continuing to abuse you through this process.

Probably you can. This is the best answer I can give without knowing more about the DHS case you have pending. You really should ask an experienced family law attorney for a better answer, since you can have a 2 way conversation. You can also see what the attitude of DHS is by asking them the... View More
I'm in a foster home it was temporarily for my mom to get us back well she's not I wanna live with my grandmother and my siblings with their aunt and uncle for them to be adopted do I have any say so?
answered on Jan 8, 2018
Your best bet is to discuss this with your DHS caseworker and see what the DHS attitude is about what you want. Also ask when the next Court date is scheduled, and tell them you want to be there. The Judge should have appointed an Attorney or Guardian Ad Litem for you, and perhaps even a CASA... View More

Paying my ex back for medial bills for my three children. At the time an amount was agreed on she had a lawyer and I contacted him to send me copies and never got them.

answered on Jan 8, 2018
Write her a letter, or email, with "Return Receipt", and explain that her lawyer never furnished you copies of the bills, and that you will begin paying on them again as soon as SHE sends you copies. That should be enough incentive for her to get them to you. Good Luck.

No, you are not required to take the FIELD Sobriety Test, but probably will have your car towed, and be taken to jail. If you refuse breath or blood tests, your license will automatically be suspended. We recommend you requested the blood test.
