Am I able to call and have her new bf trespassed from that residence
answered on Feb 3, 2022
Probably not. But you should contact an attorney to have the protection order addressed to help you get any of your property and ensure that you do not accidentally violate the order.
She is the custodial parent but we have 50/50 say regarding major medical decisions. She has stopped me twice now (during my visitation) by contacting every pharmacy in our rural area and complained saying she doesn't consent and now no one will give my son the vaccine stating they dont want...

When two parents disagree about medical decisions, the first step is always to follow the alternate dispute resolution provisions of your parenting plan. This can be mediation, arbitration or counseling.
After you have gone through that process, you would be able to directly to the Court.... View More
set up. We have a lot of equity in the home. Am I losing out on anything by moving out? I’m only taking my personal things and he wants to still live there.

I am sorry to hear that the relationship is not working out.
If you do nothing, you are still on the hook for the mortgage. You are still also in many ways responsible for any other debts such as credit cards your husband gets.
Filing for divorce or legal separation allows you to... View More
I am not a citizen of the US but I am in the middle of my application for my green card. Just got my biometrics appointment!!

Thank you for your question. More information is needed to better answer your question. You note that you had your biometrics taken. What was that for?
Can this fall under the division of a close intimate relationship? If so, is there an attorney willing to help me? I was left homeless and broke on lni. He hired an attorney and fabricated a lie to have me removed. I spent many hours over the past 5 years working on the property we lived in and the... View More

It might, but you should probably consult with an attorney who can advise you on whether your circumstances meet the requirements for a Committed Intimate Relationship in WA.
My daughters mom (my ex) will on occasion freak out when it's my weekend with my daughter and will coerce my daughter to say anything she feels justifies her to come over and take my daughter back and threaten me with calling the police etc when I have done nothing. She's done this... View More

Your residential time is defined by the parenting plan. Unless the parenting plan says that she can pick your daughter up during your time because your daughter says she wants her to, then she shouldn't be doing this. You should both be following the parenting plan as best you can.

There are many different types of protection orders under Washington law so it is difficult to answer your question. Generally, any order, including a protection order or no contact order, can be modified by the same court that issued the original order if there is good cause. For example, a court... View More

The lawyer needs to be licensed in the state where the court case is. The relocation will likely be litigated in the same court where you got your parenting plan, so that is where the attorney should be licensed.
They have no other choice but to live with either one of the parents till they graduate?
answered on Sep 9, 2021
The age of majority in WA is 18. This means that the parenting plan no longer applies once someone turns 18. There may be other benefits to remaining in a parent's home while still in school, so this person should probably take some time to think out all of the pros and cons of moving out at... View More

I don't see a question here, but you should look at the end date on your order of child support to see whether it ends when your child turned 18 or when your child graduates from high school.
We live in Washington state. I am receiving support from the non custodial parent until he graduates high school per the support agreement.
answered on Feb 2, 2021
An 18 year old is considered an adult and is no longer subject to a court order for parenting time.
I know who her attorney is but she also have told him not to discuss any of the will with me since I am not named in it, so even though I know I am not named in the will, and he knows I know that, does he still have to legally notify me of her death? Or does that only count if I contest the will?... View More

Since your question remains open for three weeks, you could consider reposting under Probate and Estate Planning - those are more applicable than Family Law as far as categories go. There's no guarantee that all questions are picked up, but you might have better chances there. Good luck... View More
Is this possible with him being in jail
answered on Jul 15, 2020
Yes, it is possible to divorce your husband while he is in jail. You will need to serve him, in jail, with a divorce petition and follow procedures required by law. You should hire an experienced divorce attorney in your state to help with you with the process.

Going through divorce. spouse moved out. child is 19 and id like help with college money from soon to be ex spouse. how do i go about this?
answered on Feb 6, 2020
Yes, but it depends on if the court still has jurisdiction over the child. More facts are needed and you should speak with an attorney. But the long story short is that if your current divorce was started before your child turned 18 or other emancipated, then the court likely has jurisdictions to... View More
I have sent proof/ results to grandparents with custody, but they ignore them and respond to my efforts to set up visitation with designated supervisor wirh letters reminding me of the requirements
answered on Feb 6, 2020
It sounds very much like you need to get the courts involved. And it also sounds like there may already be certain requirements in place regarding a Third Party Custody case.
You should set up an appointment right away with an attorney as this area of law is a bit complicated and the... View More
We're in ok terms and have been talking about a divorce for a while. She says she would want shared custody of our daughter, it's important for both to be a part of her life, but she says she would decline child support so we both have the means to take care of her when she's in our... View More

It can be allowed, but it depends greatly on both of your incomes and how a few other things are accounted for in your divorce. Long story short is the child support must be calculated by the court. However, there can be ways to get it to a zero net transfer if the facts of the case allow for it.... View More

Without seeing the document I tend to agree with your interpretation, however, there may be something else within the document that could change my answer. That being said, your husband should call the attorney that handled his divorce to double check. If they are unavailable, he should call the... View More

I'm sorry for the loss of your grandfather. You might have better chances of your question being picked up if you reposted in the Probate - Estate Planning categories. It went unnoticed for two weeks under Family Law. Good luck
