The court is unlikely to enter a parenting time order for less than 90 overnights. The issue isn't so much how much parenting time he used, but rather how much time is reasonable. Ultimately whether he uses the time or not is up to him, not you or the court.

There is an automatic presumption that a child conceived during a marriage is that of the husband. That is the case regardless of any medical determination as to whether you are capable of conceiving the child or not. Should you desire to disavow the child, a DNA test would need to happen and a...

Unless there is a custody order in place, you as the mother have sole custody.

You need to file a motion in court. Your daughter is at the age where the judge or referee may take her opinion into consideration, along with what her therapist suggests. Note, though, that a court is not controlled by either.

Your option is to pursue a child support order. He is not obligated to continue paying living expenses.

I do not think that the state trying to get reimbursement from him for the assistance you received gives him any legal rights to the children. He could file a paternity action to get rights to the child that is his, but if he has not done that and he is not on the birth certificate, I do not see... View More

You have an obligation to comply with the Court Order for Support until another such order is entered. I suggest you retain an experienced family law attorney to file a Motion to Suspend Support and to require her to bring the child(ren) back if that's what you want. Again, much could depend...

Child custody and parenting time are not matters to take into your own hands. If what you're saying is true, and you've documented them or can otherwise show them to be true, then you may have grounds to file the appropriate motion in court altering or suspending your ex's parenting... View More

It's a possibility. An attorney would want to know exact ages and circumstances.

Your rights concerning the child are limited to what the mother willingly allows you to do. At any time, she can call her son home and not let you see him again. Or, the father could come in the picture and start a custody issue, of which you would have no dog in the fight.

There is a... View More

You would be in contempt of a court order. Your best option is to file the appropriate motion. If he doesn't response or appear, it will likely be granted. Even if he does respond, you could show the judge that the move is for you and the child's best interest. The court could still grant... View More

I assume that there has not been a legal custody determination. Typically, custody orders dictate that you cannot move out of state or more than 100 miles without the court's permission. Without a court order, that doesn't apply. It would be wise to consult with a local attorney to be... View More

There would likely need to be more to the story. Unless you can show that the father or his girlfriend is doing something contrary to your son's best interest, the best course may to let things be. Her message, while juvenile, doesn't appear to name you specifically, and there's no... View More

Hire an experienced family law attorney who can file in the county where you reside and he/she could file motion seeking an Order requiring that the kids be returned to the State of Michigan, since Michigan is their home state.

There are no forms to fill out to resolve the problem. You MUST find a way to borrow money and hire an experienced family law attorney. This is not an easy process.

The answer to your title question is no. Cases are not reheard whenever a judge retires. You have (or had) an opportunity to appeal; that is the appropriate way to address your issues.

You should consult with a probate attorney about guardianship or co-guardianship with your boyfriend.

If the paper you signed involved voluntarily terminating your parental rights, there is no going back. If you signed a limited guardianship, there is a process to follow that could result in the return of your child.

His responsibility unless he’s irresponsible. You’ll know if and when the child comes home with a soiled diaper.

You start with retaining a very experienced family law attorney who has been involved in custody cases. Don't know why you say he gained custody unfairly. If you were not represented or did not take part in the proceedings, that is your fault. Is there a Judgment? Was he awarded sole legal and... View More
