First, she abandoned the animal and animals are considered property. Second, your father can likely only be held responsible for the... Read more »
I just need to change that date that was set for 2012 so i can use the decree now
If I understand your question correctly there is nothing to change on your decree.

Neither of those require... Read more »
I'm without a car.Is there anything I can do to get my car back from the dealer.
She can and did do this without your signature. It sounds like your car title was an "or" title. This type of title would allow either one of you to trade or sell the vehicle without the signature of the other. It is very unlikely that you will be able to get the car back from the... Read more »

As of this afternoon, I checked myself into a hotel to calm the situation down in the house. There has been no physical altercations in the place I’ve never been involved.
The short answer is yes. One of you needs to file and you need to establish temporary custody orders so that you both know what your rights are concerning custody and visitation.
Ex has no parenting rights but I allow him to see his child. He is asking that I pay half of all flight tickets to make this happen and has threatened to take me to court if I don't pay
As I advise clients on a regular basis, you can take someone to court for just about anything. Getting the court to make you pay for half his travel costs is another matter. You are under no obligation to assist your ex with his travel expenses. If he cannot afford to pay for his own travel... Read more »
