The baby is a premature and he let the child leave with her caretaker in an area where it was too far to have a direct assistance of medical treatment. Can I file a case against the father being as a aunt of the child?
You have no standing. Second, there are no damages as the child was not harmed
Background. We met a couple back in 2012 and the woman was about 6 months pregnant. The couple was not ready to start a family. They were married (since divorced).

My 11 year olds biological farther signed a paper when I was 5 months pregnant with her that stated he did not want any prenatal rights my now husband wants to adopt her do I have to contact her farther in order for this to happen he has never seen her nor does he want to
You should consult with a local adoption attorney to discuss your rights and responsibilities. The biological father will need to be served with papers if his parental rights haven't already been terminated for some reason.
I was released from jail after serving two months for a warrant out of San Francisco county. Animal Care and Control released my do to a rescue shelter but they won't tell me where exactly she is located. What can I do in order to get her back home?
You can't. Your dog is gone. You should have arranged for someone to take care of her while you were in jail.

It sounds like you need to consult with and/or hire a lawyer where you live who specializes in this area of the law.
The bio mom sees him 12 hours a week. He is always returning with head lice and we found a bedbug on him. Previously he has returned with bedbug bits also.

My sister is pregnant and due in about 2 weeks she does not want the baby and is willing to sign over all her rights to me she does not know who the dad of the baby is how would I go about getting custody of the baby so I can take it home from the hospital when it is born?

DHS is a funny agency in that it sometimes all depends not the case worker you have. There is a big difference between having your child removed based on a deprived action and having your parental rights terminated. If she is working a plan after a deprived adjudication or waiver, then it makes... Read more »
The mother is in and out of jail and on and off drugs. She has left her and her sister alone all night at very young ages. She will at times go months without contact and has never supported her as long as we have had her. What do we have to do to adopt her.
Hire an adoption attorney and if she hasn't seen her daughter for 6 months, it should go smoothly.
Other than when she was born but hasn't provided for her in 10 year's. Would we need his consent?
It’s possible but dad would have to be given notice in any event.

Dogs are property under Colorado law. Under Colorado property law, property is not considered abandoned until 5 years have passed. So, until 5 years passes with no contact from the owners - or until they gift or sell the dog to you, the dog belongs to the original owners. You could reach out to the... Read more »

At 18, it is not called 'running away' it is just called 'leaving your parents house' - which is something you are suppose to do. Until then you need to stop whining and suck it up and deal with it like everyone else. Best of luck.
Give me any cards that have my name on it like medical card or californa state card when I move what do i do if she doesn't want to give it to me
There is too much information missing to answer you. How old are you? If you are at least 18 years old, you should be able to get your drivers license or California ID yourself. You can contact Kaiser directly to have your card issued to you if you are still eligible to be insured under your... Read more »

I am then natural mother and looking to removed the rights of the natural father, However, I am not married to who would be adopting them. What are my options
I'm sorry but it is not possible in the State of Idaho right now. The State of Idaho has a pecuniary interest in NOT terminating a natural parent's rights. Why? Because the State of Idaho taxpayers will ultimately have to pay for any social services that you receive as the unmarried parent of... Read more »

There are many factors involved in a contested adoption, each of which can sway the court one way or another. If you do not already have legal representation for this case, please retain an attorney experienced in adoptions asap.
Do I have to file something with the court besides the birth certificate and the order for adoption in oK as my adoption lawyer did that to my knowledge I have her birth certificate.
I recommend consulting with a lawyer well-versed in Oklahoma adoption law to ensure the UCCJEA was complied with and any additional steps you need to take in Oklahoma.
Can you tell me what needs to be done and what I am looking at cost wise?
Attorneys can't quote prices on Justia. Hire an adoption attorney. Have your husband do a criminal background check for adoption at the State Police.
We have never had any contact with the child at the request of her mother. She also requested 5 years ago that my husband allow her husband to adopt because he is the only father she knows. He agreed it was in her best interest and we never heard anything else about it. Recently within the last... Read more »
