You will need to file a petition to terminate his parental rights in the Circuit Court of the county in which you reside.
The court house said they don’t have specific paper work and I can file with fee’s without a layer but I better know how to do it right in which I have no idea and there’s no way I can afford a lawyer and there is no legal aid for this.

Can they force me to take him to her if he refuses ?

He has to go until and unless the Court changes the parenting time order. Otherwise, you could be in contempt of court.
Signed the papers because we didn’t know that the parents were still legally married but separated, now the father is wanting the child. The child doesn’t mind to spend time with the father just doesn’t want to live with him 24/7 cause he just recently became a part of her life.

You’ll have to litigate it against dad as either a custody action or as an adoption/termination action for resolution.

There are probably various opinions on this issue. Unless it will negatively affect your daughter’s dance lessons, I probably would not meet with them. Theres no wrongful activity but once you engage with them, they will consistently make your life miserable for no reason.

If you already have sole custody, it is highly unlikely he is going to be able to change that bc the standard of proof is a high threshold. Additionally, if you have been living in your state for more than six months, any custody action should be brought where you and the child reside. You are... View More

In your situation, where your realtor shared your phone number with your ex-husband despite a verbal agreement not to, it could potentially be considered a violation of your privacy. The key issue here is the promise made by the realtor and whether it can be legally enforced.

file the intent to appeal? By Dec 3? Or by 30 days after the final judgement order which will be in January? Looking for a lawyer currently.
