It is possible to make an argument that the down payment was a gift to the marital estate. However, if dad testifies that this was not the intent, the check was made out to daughter only not to daughter and husband, it is likely non-marital. Inheritances are usually non-marital and separate... Read more »

The down payment by dad is non-marital in nature and will be restored to his daughter. After that, the proceeds will be divided 50/50.

My ex boyfriend (we were never married) has taken our child and won't let her come home. There is no custody order in place. Paternity was presumed in child support court. Is he allowed to do what he's doing? I thought if parents are unmarried, even if paternity is established, that... Read more »

No. If paternity has been established, you both have joint (not sole) custody by operation of law. You will need to file a motion in the paternity case or a new custody scion to establish a parenting schedule
I've had him since he was 3 weeks old, the mother has NO contact, and he see's his biological father on weekends. BUT, the bio dad has not established paternity with the state, and only the mother is listed as a parent on his birth certificate. Would I be able to adopt him with the father... Read more »

Most likely not with the father in the picture. You can certainly try….but it may be more difficult depending on dads involvement or lack thereof.

Most likely not, depending on the terms of your paternity agreement.

Judge has been biased significantly to other party and has personally lied about contents of court documents, and used those lies in their rulings.

That he can do

Will that parent automatically lose rights? is there ever a reunification?
answered on Feb 26, 2023
No. They will not automatically lose their right. Depending on the degree of abuse, reunification is possible sometimes although the bulk of the case law appears against it.
We've been separated a year she's been gone almost that length of time, how is it she can come back to this house whenever she feels like it? And secondly, we pretty much decided to sell the place at some point, and divide the money but, if I choose to refinance the place and buy her half... Read more »
answered on Feb 26, 2023
She still has an ownership interest in the house regardless of how long she’s been gone so she can still come and go as she pleases. The money her dad put down is a non marital interest that will be restored to her by the court. The best thing to do is get the divorce filed and moving so you... Read more »

The counselor has decided to not credit certain days for excused and instead contacted cps. Anonymously of course. How do I fight this . I have the documentation from the doctor. I came home Friday with a note from cps.

answered on Feb 26, 2023
Not unless your lawyer tells you to. If you do not have a lawyer, then yes, you should attend.
What proof do I need to prove I didn't kick him? How would you even prove something like that?
answered on Feb 26, 2023
Unless son is going to testify ( if he is competent), mom won’t be able to get his statement into evidence. However, you should still hire a lawyer to represent you out of sn abundance of caution.
