Judge ordered 2 weeks non consecutive visitation during the summer. They already get alternating weekends as regular visitation.
Is the week visitation constitute 5 days (Mon - Fri)? Or is it 7 days (Mon - Sun)? And does it include the normal visitation or in addition to the normal visitation?

A week is 7 days. It is in addition to the normal parenting time.

You need to speak with a good criminal attorney. A bond condition is not a suggestion - no contact means no contact.

Legally, if you could not come to an agreement regarding buying out her ownership interest in the property, you would need to seek a partition, which would split the property. If the property could not be split equitably, the court would order a sale of the property. If you want to avoid that, you... Read more »

I was born in California and so were my birth parents. Their parental rights were taken away in 2000 when I was 7 years old. I was adopted the following year in 2001 when I was 8. My adoptive parents are on my birth certificate. I’ve been in contact with my birth mother for about 12 years now and... Read more »

No. You have no legal relationship with your birth mother. So she doesn't qualify as a grandparent to try to get grandparent's rights, and she wouldn't meet those standards anyway. So it's a definite no. You can exclude her if you wish.
answered on Mar 10, 2023
My best advice to you is to hire you a local attorney in your area. Grandparent visitation is limited and several factors need to be proven in order for the court to determine that visitation is in the child's best interest. If the parent objects to your visitation, you will need to make... Read more »

You cannot remove someone from a deed unilaterally. Even if you have a restraining order. You will need to contact a civil attorney to resolve the issue. Your son has interest in the house.
The matter will be heard in Fulton Country GA and a petition for Paternity and Child Support was filed. I know I need to file an answer and counterclaim for legitimation to get proper rights in GA and a definitive visitation schedule.
There is already a child support order from Illinois... Read more »

If you choose to represent yourself you will be expected to have the same knowledge as an attorney. You will be expected to handle your own discovery, your case in chief and to prepare all of your documents for Court. I would highly suggest hiring an attorney, because the child support, custody...

If you were never married and he hasn't legitimately, he has no rights. If he files to legitimate, you can hire an attorney to contest the legitimation.

If you prevent the father from having any contact with the child, he may decide to file an action to legitimize. If he does so, sure you can object to the legitimation. However, the Court may still determine that the father being in the child's life is in the child's best interest and... Read more »

Most wills are upheld against caveats. I'm sure they claim a lot of stuff in their caveat. I always do. A caveat will lead to a trial if the issue is not settled before. No reason this should take longer than a year or so and may be handed much faster. Deciding whether the issue is worth... Read more »
