No, there really isn't.
The court CAN'T make someone care more about their children, or want to have additional time with them. I suppose it is possible that you could rework your custody schedule so that he has 124 overnights per year (which would change his child support... Read more »

If you think that your mother can no longer care for herself, then you need to file for guardianship of your mother. This is not a simple process and I would encourage you to get the help of a local attorney.

Hire a NC attorney to search the title. It is very possible that both of you owned as Tenants In Common, such that her issue take her one/half interest as Heirs.

There are a couple of questions that will need to be answered before I can give you specific advice. Did your grandfather adopt you as well? And second, are you biologically related to your grandfather? If you can answer yes to either of those questions, you can likely get his assets transferred to... Read more »

If he can't access the child, he won't be able to get a paternity test, without a court order. He could (through you as his "guardian") file for custody/visitation of the child, and then it would be up to the mother to prove that his is not the father. Once he has access to the... Read more »

You can agree to any sort of division - whether such a division or more or less than what a court would do by following the statutes. So long as y'all are happy with it, then you can be as creative as you want. Obviously you will want to make sure that the paperwork is property drawn up and... Read more »

That said, there does need to... Read more »
