A suit for damages is potentially possible, but there is a lot to consider before then. I advise you call some local family lawyers to talk about Emancipation, and then you can get some guidance as to your rights as well. You can be the victim of a tortious action by your parents and accrue a... View More

If you're filing an action to legitimize it would be best to hire an attorney to represent you. The matter is much more complex than even filling out the financial affidavit. In response to your question, I'm not sure what not being married to the mother has to do with the assets... View More

If your son has not established paternity, then the Court has not established you as the child's grandmother. If your son is unable to legitimize the child and petition the Court for custody, as the grandparent, if you want to seek custody yourself, you should hire an attorney. It will be a... View More

Well it sounds like your ex-husband was abusive to you and a terrible spouse, I am not seeing why a court would at this point terminate his parental rights. By your own account he's not permitted to contact you. Does this extend your child? What rights can he presently exercise while he is in... View More

Judges can render orders that they feel are in the best interests of the child, and they have a lot of discretion in what they can make an order of the court. So a question that asks if a judge can do something, yes they can, and they probably did. And if you feel like you have been been able to... View More

answered on Mar 13, 2024
I'm not sure how you are seeking to create a petition, as there is no such thing. If you cannot obtain the consent of the other parent you will need an order from the court. The proper complaint needs to be filed requesting the relief you are seeking in order for the court to give you a hearing.
