I wouldn't think so, but I'm guessing the custodial parent is demanding it. File a motion with the court that entered the custody order, asking that this specific question be decided.
The child is 2 months old and I would like to be able to hold her and feed her and those sorts of things.

Probably yes, but you need to get an attorney on your side.

It depends on what your child parenting plan is and visitation. If you want visitation, it's best to consult an attorney and see what your best options are in getting your visitation rights.

After I was married in 2002, I rolled all my pre-marital 401K and IRA funds into a new IRA that I set up. Later, about 2008, I rolled a post-marital 401K into the same IRA account. Does my husband get half of my pre-marital IRA/401K funds?

If you earn anything before the marriage it is yours. However, if you co-mingle marital funds with pre-marital funds your spouse may have a legal argument to make a claim. It would be good to contact an attorney to help you see the way your account is setup and protect your pre-marital assets.

I assume you are asking if there is a way to stop him from having another child but you may be asking something else. First off my condolences on your situation and the passing of your daughter.

My husbands divorce decree states he has his two boys 4 nights a month and that's what his child support is based on. For the past 5 yrs we have had them 13-15 nights per month. Can we get the child support changed to reflect having them about half the time?
answered on Sep 7, 2015
It's good to get an attorney on board for a situation like this. If there is a change in circumstance the child support can be changed, but you would need to consult with an attorney to talk about the specific facts of your case and your options. There are a lot of moving parts changing... View More
Her daughter is now 22. We stopped paying bc of financial struggles. We have 3 young children ourselves. The original rate was never revised after we had kids. I believe she will honor the forgiveness, and we have been low income for 6 years now (about when we had to stop paying). She is not rich,... View More

There is certainly a chance she will be able to enforce the unpaid child support. In Utah, child support is determined by statute, not by agreement, and the child support obligation is based on the current order of a court. If you have not modified the order based on reduced income or change in... View More

Generally, payment of support, whether monthly child support or for medical care, and visitation rights are separate rights that do not affect each other. If the terms of your custody order grant you visitation or custody over Christmas, then the mother has an obligation to permit travel consistent... View More

Yes, you can. Of course you, would need to follow current eviction laws to do so. I recently helped a mother evict her daughter who was emotionally and physically abusive.
