His claim is that when my son turns twelve he can choose who he wants to live with. and then added he doesnt however want his daughter... Read more »
No it is not true. He can petition the court for custody at any time, however he has to prove that there has been a material change in circumstances that promotes the best interests of the child in order to change custody. He’s bluffing you.
We were divorced 8 years ago we have joint custody but it's more of I have full custody due to whenever he was suppose to have the child his parents had her. He only shows when its convenient such as birthdays and holidays. He claims her on income tax and I'm left with the... Read more »
Hello. There are several factual questions that need answering before you receive advice on going through DHR or not. Letting an attorney review your divorce documents will answer those questions and you can be properly advised at that point on whether you need to file in your DR case or open a... Read more »
The child support goes threw the state to her and she refuses to give any of it to me. I have text messages from her threatening to call the cops and report me as a run away if I ever tried to get the money. (My step dad and her both told me I wasn’t allowed to live there anymore but I have no... Read more »
Hello. The support is FOR you, it's not paid TO you. You're not an adult until you're 19. If you're not living with your mom, then it's your dad who needs to file and have support stopped.
The defendant has never had a case in this small municipal court. Has no open cases anywhere else. Has FTA from 10 years ago in another jurisdiction.
Yes.
So last month my dad's girlfriend passed away. However my dog and her dog are mates and are about to have another litter of puppies. The girlfriend's two children were left her belongings and her stepbrother is the executor of the will. Legally am I entitled to the litter even though my... Read more »
Generally, in breeding contract situations where all breeders are actively involved, siring the puppies would give you an ownership interest if that was contracted for. Usually, though, a "stud fee" is paid for the male dog's "performance" so to speak. It sounds like this... Read more »
Wrecked the car but didnt hit anyone else. She is threatening to press charges against him if he doesn't buy her another car by end of the week. The wreck just happened last night. Can she do that?
No, under the facts as you have given them she cannot do that. On the other hand, if it turns out he did NOT have her permission, then she can, but it won't get her anything since he will then have to be spending money on a criminal defense attorney.
But beyond that, and there's... Read more »
Can my sister petition the courts to have the mother pay some type of support payment? My sister already has 4 other children and the mother doesn't seem to care about her only child. I live in CA so I am not familiar with AL state laws. As far as I know, the custody order does not state that... Read more »
Hello. Yes, your sister can ask the court to award her child support from both the father and mother. Thank you for your question.
Their sons was asking my coworkers if they thought that I was a crackhead and at the end of my employment. That same son made some sexual advances towards me. This caught me off guard, had me extremely nervous, uncomfortable and scared. Because of my fear of him and loosing my job, when he asked me... Read more »
Hi, there is a claim called "quid pro quo" sexual harassment. This occurs when a job benefit is directly tied to an employee submitting to unwelcome sexual advances. Based on what you stated above, it sounds like your continued employment was tied to you going on a date with the... Read more »
You should consult with an attorney to determine whether you can revive the application or if you have resubmit.
Good evening. Yes.
I want joint custody, but the mother is in another state than I am.
You will have to file in the county where the children reside. Then the sheriff of that county will serve her.
She asked me how much$ can I commit to giving a month for the Divorce paperwork she doing! Me and my wife make the same amount per hour yet she has other income from a hair salon owns & works by herself . With that being said am I still going to have to pay her something a month like child support?
Apparently you have not BOTH agreed. I cannot tell you how often this comes up. Someone calls me and tells me we have reached an agreement and the case is uncontested but when it comes time to sign nothing could be less true. You do not have an agreement. It does not necessarily mean her... Read more »
I watched it happen, she lied to me at the window more than 3 times, the manager agreed she lied, put my life in danger 2day, I could possibly catch covid from this or spread to my immediate family. I have receipts to prove tgis, plus the manager said she had the girl on camera who gave me food... Read more »
An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. This could be a challenging case in terms of substantiating damages. That's ordinarily done with medical documentation in injury cases. If this did not result in medical diagnosis/treatment/testing, it could be... Read more »
Girl got pregnant, and started dating her husband 1.5 months into pregnancy. They got married and he is signing the birth certificate and wants to adopt the child. What needs to be done and would I have any financial responsibility if he signs the birth certificate and I wouldn't see the... Read more »
The legal father of the child is the man to whom the mother was married. If he never denies the child, and accepts the child as his, you cannot be held responsible for the child and you also cannot assert any right to the child. See Ex Parte Presse.
I was incarcerated in 2010 -2013. While I was incarcerated I had child support stopped in 2012. My son was 22 years old at the time. When I got out in 2013 my son didn’t want to see me and still wants nothing to do with me. In 2012 I owed $20;000 to chil support. In 2018 child support showed up... Read more »
Hello. Some interest is owed to the mom and/or some may be owed to the state. You would need to speak with an attorney in your area who handles child support in the county where your case was, in order to set up the proper payment plan in hopes of having it over sooner rather than later. The longer... Read more »
It depdens. Interest can be owed to the custodial parent, the state, or both.
Im 16 and partner is 20.
Yes if you are married. But you have to have your parents permission to get married since you are under the age of majority which is 19 in Alabama .
Her agreement proposed to me for custody only lets me have the kids 6 days a month. I want joint custody. I found out very recently and can prove infidelity starting 2 months into the marriage and a week vacation she took to shack up with the guy, and lied to me and the girls. Wondering if I should...

I'm going to try to distill the question down to its essence, you and your wife of a year want to be divorced, you have two children together, she has been cheating on you for at least the past 10 months and you want to ensure a fair custody. You have a good number of options in front of you,... Read more »
Parents are trying to force a relationship on the child with someone the child decided to no longer have a relationship with.
Hello. No. 19 is the age majority in Alabama. When the child becomes an adult, then he/she can decide. Best of luck.
The child doesn't want to go with her mother can I do anything?
Yes ma’am. Contact an attorney immediately and obtain temporary custody for a dependent child (one that doesn’t have a parent to take care of them). Let her explain to the court where she’s been for the last year and a half in her daughters life.
