FIled motion for a hearing and his hired attorney trying to get transferred and delay everything from not agreeing on dates available in my county
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Talk to your attorney about whether you filed in the correct county. Normally, if the child resided in the county where you filed for the preceding 90-days, you filed in the correct county. Otherwise, a transfer to that county would seem to be the correct procedure. If a transfer is appropriate,... View More

This is a challenging situation that requires careful attention to the documentation issues first. Mexican consulates can help correct errors on birth certificates through a legal process called "rectificación de acta," which addresses typographical mistakes.

It's not up to her job.
If this were a Texas court order, I would recommend that you file a motion for enforcement in the court that issued the order.
Since it is a Florida order, you need to ask the advice of a Florida attorney who practices in the area of family law.

If you do not know what those are and how to do that, I strongly recommend you hire an attorney with experience in family law in or near the county where you live. Be aware that it is often difficult to obtain relief... View More
I was married in the USA for five years. He filed for divorce, and I left the country. I no longer have any paperwork regarding the marriage. Now, I need to find out whether I am still married or not, and I’m wondering if I can apply for an annulment.
answered on Nov 11, 2024
You most likely cannot file for an annulment because the grounds on which an annulment can be granted are very narrow.
If he previously filed for divorce, you should check the Vital Statistics Unit at (888) 963-7111, Monday through Friday, 8 AM–4 PM to see if he ever finalized the divorce.

A protective order is a civil order, not a criminal one, and it isn't impacted by the underlying criminal charges being dropped. A protective order can be filed without any criminal charges being filed, or in conjunction, but they are completely separate. Both the husband and wife should... View More
Protection order was filed in 2020, I was incarcerated at the time of the hearing, the allegations were not accurate nor was I ever convicted of anything in that nature. And I have not been able to see or speak or know anything about my children since 2021.
answered on Nov 7, 2024
You can file a motion to modify in suit affecting the parent-child relationship. If the protective order is still in force and effect (they typically only last two years), you would also want to modify the protective order if it limits your access to your children.
