Shortly after moving in together she became ill and later had to leave employment. Prior to that she made his house a home and contributed financially. Now he wants his old life back and wants to throw her out of the house. She needs 24 hour care and does not know what her rights are.
There are insufficient facts in your post. Nevertheless, If your friend is in California then she may look into the following:
1) A “Marvin” action; and
2) Putative spouse doctrine.
Finally, California does not recognize common law marriage (but does allow for divorce... Read more »

Call or get online with the Social Security Administration; explain the situation to them and they will head you down the right path. May be a slow process but just take one step at a time and don't lose your patience.
You are, I assume, asking about spousal support. In a legal separation you have all the same rights as you do in a divorce action; except you cannot dissolve the marriage. Consequently, you can seek spousal support. Being able to seek it though may be different than being awarded it. That will... Read more »
kids from me, when in fact he has corprl punishment . Him and his family are trying to take my kids.

The first thing you should do is make an appointment with a lawyer in your area who handles this area of law.
I have 4 kids. 2 by 1 mom & 2 by another mom. The 1st mom wants child support even though she lives in a household with a new partner who she has lived with for over 8-9 years, has 3 more kids with, & only refuses to marry him so she can collect more child support from me. While I struggle... Read more »
Actually, if she were to marry him it might increase your support. New spouse's income is not disposable to payment of child support. The only thing a new spouse's income does is put mom's income in a new tax bracket so she nets less income for the child support calculations. The... Read more »
That's a really interesting question during this Covid-19 time in our lives. Generally, when you have an ex parte application hearing, you hand the other party your moving papers the morning of the hearing.

You can make a very good case before to get a temporary restraining order.

I have child support court on July 7 and live with my girlfriend and our child but will have to start paying child support. Will her income effect how much support I will have to pay? What if we split bills and share income will judge consider I have more income ?
No - your girlfriend’s income has does not affect prospective child support. The judge will consider your income, expenses albeit are a part of the I NBC one and expense declaration, generally do not affect child support calculations.

I have visitations on Saturday and Sunday 10am-12 pm . She told me that the only way I could see them if I do a Covid-19 test which I did and it came out negative. She’s requesting for her to see results or else I won’t be able to see the kids. What can I do?
There is no legal authority for using Covid 19 as a reason to violate custody/visitation orders. She is in the wrong. However if you got tested and you know the results are negative, why not just let her see the results so you can see your kids. Once the courts reopen, you can file a motion to... Read more »
My fiancé was first married in San Joaquin County, California (where we currently live), and then moved shortly to Washington (State). Her ex-husband (recently remarried himself) claims he petitioned for an annulment in Snohomish County back in 2011. Will I encounter problems when going to apply... Read more »
If the marriage was annulled legally in another state, California would honor that Judgment. However, you do not sound sure it was annulled. I would get proof of it being annulled legally; otherwise it may cause troubles for you down the road - such as making your new marriage invalid.
First you need to define what you mean by partial custody. In California there is legal custody which means that you share in major decisions concerning the health, education and welfare of the minor children. The court can grant you joint legal custody no matter where the children live. The... Read more »

The 864 requires the sponsor to be domiciled in the US, meaning the address in the country where you treat and intend to be your permanent home. Thus, put your US address.
There was an incident and the child is currently in their care. The goal being not to separate parent and child entirely but to give the grandparent some sort of legal claim to the child. As their parent for various reasons cannot care for them properly and need not be the sole decision maker.

can i file that online and when are the courts supposed to open back up?
You would need to file an FL-300 to request modification of the visitation terms of the current orders. Each individual court has their own local rules as to electronic filing so you would need to check with the court where the case is located. Likewise, each court is fashioning their own set of...
