A: Im not sure where the 50 / 85 mile radius issue is coming from, but beware of taking advice from friends.

I am 22 and married and able to financially support her. She is way behind in school and my dad and stepmom just push it off like it is not a big deal. They treat her like property and it's very unfair considering she is a triplet and isnt allowed to do any of the things my other siblings do. I... Read more »

Weekends holidays and most of the summer.the kids want to be with me more but when i go to pick them up there mother locks the door and wont let them out of her house is that legal?also what can i do about it and what are my rights as a father
Your rights are exactly the same as the mother's. However, there's nothing to spell out what that means. If the two of you don't agree how to manage in that completely undefined environment, then either of you can file a Complaint for Custody with the court. Ideally you would then negotiate...

Our agreement states that I claim my child for odd year returns. I claimed my child and now I am being audited to prove that I am qualified to claim the child as dependent, Head of Household and Earned Income Tax Credit. What do I need to know in order to satisfy their request?
You can start with sending them a copy of the court order. Worst case you may need your ex to sign an IRS form.
Generally a motion to vacate genetic testing is when a judge decides whether to cancel an order requiring the parties to submit to genetic testing. I assume this is for paternity genetic testing since you categorized your question as a custody question. It could also address related topics such... Read more »
My daughter’s father and I have joint custody. He lives in another state. He has not contacted my daughter in 4 months. Before that it was 2 months. He has never paid his court appointed child support. He has not followed anything from the divorce papers that pertains to my daughter. My question... Read more »

My friend lived in Indiana. She got married and had a baby with her husband. He didn't want to sign the birth certificate. They are now separated and they have not established paternity (but he is in fact the biological father). Does he have any rights to the baby even though they are married?
If a child is born during a marriage, the husband is presumed to be the father, although that can be rebutted. If the husband and your friend are still married, he does have custody/parenting time right, although exactly what they are would need to be decided by a court.
There's proof that all statements made against me, which the other party signed, notarized & filed through the courts, are entirely false. Not 1 sentence stated has any truth. They were deliberate lies told by my son's paternal grandmother & my son's father, (who legally has no rights due to no... Read more »
Well you start by documenting everything. You need people on your side who saw the things you saw. But you also have to be realistic. You need a lawyer on your side and that’s going to cost. Think of the situation you’re in now and what you want to interrupt your peaceful life and get involved.... Read more »
I Petitioned for custody/ visitation. At the hearing the commissioner continued the case. Before she adjourned i requested a stay on a DCSS case i just discovered with no service attempt. Judge didnt rule on it but ordered the caseworker in court to serve me. How is this ok?
Yes, you can be served in Court. So long as you are served by someone who is 18 years of age and over and not a party to the case.
Impossible to say since there are no details as to how you lost custody in the first place.

File a divorce action and a motion for a parenting schedule.
Long-standing rule in my house (and in my sister’s house for cousins) is that you get a phone when you’re 10. My older daughter (not ex’s bio child) got a reg phone at age 10 (while I was still with ex). Ex told me that he bought it and it will be used at my house “end of discussion”. I... Read more »
Let me put this in simple terms: "NO," you don't have to let her have a phone while she's with YOU (unless it specifically says you must in your divorce / custody decree), but the bigger question:
1. Is this a "hill you're willing to die on?" In other words, is THIS ISSUE an issue you're... Read more »

Yes. File an actio for dissolution and ask for a parenting s he duke.
