This would depend on why the guardianship was put into place. There are a lot of facts that an attorney would need to know before an accurate answer could be given. I recommend trying to find a local attorney to do a consultation with and help you figure out what you can and cannot do.

Does the mother know of this? If so, see if you can both sign an affidavit to terminate child support. If the daughter is moving out because she is mad at her mother, then you need to speak with your daughter and her mother about the move and why it may or may not be good for her. At 17, she'd...

Can she file? Yes. Will she win? Maybe, but there would need to be more than just a single incident like this. Co-parenting classes or therapy for you and the mother would be the best option before going back to court.

If you have not been to court to establish a parenting plan, then you really need to do so. Just because there are other kids in his home doesn't mean he should not get to see his daughter, but not having adequate space for three kids could mean no overnight visits. Talk with a local attorney... View More

Generally, no, unless your funds were already mingled at the time of the judgment. Speak with an attorney who helps with bad debt collection calls or deals with the Fair Debt Collections Practice Act.

If it went to trial, no--the double jeopardy clause prevents retrials. The problem is that the DA's office has to be convinced that having had the case thrown out once it's likely to succeed now. In a criminal case it has to be shown beyond a reasonable doubt that the person charged did... View More

I do not believe this a question about legality as much as it is about your safety and your dog's safety. To get you to move out, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. If an individual is threatening to kill your dog, you need to seek a safer place to stay immediately. There... View More

You can look into legal aid. They can help offer legal services at lower (or free) prices. You also might be able to sign up for a pro-bono assistance. There are also attorneys who are willing to help out on a payment plan structure or who will give you some "low income" pricing. Good luck.

Probably not. Unless the biological father has given up his parental rights. A child only gets to have two parents. If the biological father still has parental rights, then the child can't be adopted. If the rights HAVE been given up, then he doesn't need to be involved at all.

I've often wondered about that question (in general). Logically, it would seem that you don't need to. But if and when either of you wants to re-marry, he or she should consult with an attorney in the state where you (or your "current spouse" lives to determine if a new marriage would be valid.

You need an attorney. You are asking, in two sentences, for information such attorney in your state could only answer after a detailed conversation with you.

If this is important enough to you, which it should be, you will go see a local attorney about it to get the specifically tailored legal advice that you might need. When you do that, the attorney will be able to have a full discussion with you and will look for any possible causes of action that... View More

Depends on the terms of the custody order.

If there was no custody order entered in the Kansas case, and if the kids have lived with you in Missouri for at least six months, you simply dismiss the Kansas case and re-file in Missouri. Otherwise, if a custody order was entered in Kansas, you cannot re-file in Missouri. For further... View More

You would file a motion to require him to show cause why he shouldn't he held in contempt of court.

You need to go see a family attorney for a full discussion about these matters and perhaps filing a petition for modification.

Go see a local family law attorney for a full discussion with all relevant documents in hand.

One would think that it should decrease every time one of the children reaches the age of majority, right? But possibly not; it depends upon the terms of the custody order and the specific law in Missouri.

If you file for divorce your H4 visa becomes invalid which directly means your EAD will also become invalid. So you would not be able to stay in the US legally, I see you mentioned your husband emotionally abused you. If it was physical abuse and if it involved any violence you will be able to... View More

Sorry to hear about this.

The family should talk to a health care of guardianship lawyer about their rights and options. If the wife can be shown to be mentally unfit to make decisions, it may be possible to have someone else appointed to that capacity.

It might also make sense to... View More
