You are doing the right thing by filing the motion. Perhaps there is something negative going on that your daughter is afraid of disclosing. Still, your duty is to comply with the parenting time order and continue facilitating her relationship with her father. Typically in these situations with a... Read more »

Yes, you still have to pay any arrearage that has accrued. Child support cannot be forgiven once it has vested; however, you may be able to receive credits against the arrearage, depending on the circumstances. Whether you are entitled to credits is entirely up to the Court.

Were her rights terminated or did she simply sign over custody in court memorialized in a custody order? Parents’ rights to custody off their child is supreme to anyone provided she shows it’s in the best interest of the child and if there has been a change in circumstances (assuming her... Read more »

It seems unlikely if she has an untreated drug problem and no proper housing for the child.
My son was there for summer when he started giving me ultimatums, saying how hard he was going to make it for me if I didn’t let him stay, I caved and allowed him to stay. I took custody from his mother in 2018 after DCS got involved which she moved to Florida after.

I hate to say this, but . . . it depends.
It *appears* your son's absence from Tennessee is temporary and for less than six months, so jurisdiction should still lie with Tennessee and you will need to file something in a Tennessee court.

During that time they began paperwork to adopt my son and daughter. We were not aware of this until after they successfully adopted them. We were homeless trying to get back on our feet and our kids were basically stolen from us. Its been 3 years during which time we have remained in our... Read more »

Depending on how long it has been since the adoption, you may be able to go back into the case and have it set aside if you weren’t given notice or served.

No statute states that. A statute states that each parent is entitled to the child's medical and educational records. ARS 25-403.06.

Who pays child support currently is unrelated to whether arrears are owed.
Be aware the current child support remains in effect until you go to Court to modify it. At that point, child support is determined by a calculation.

If there is no court ordered custody arrangement, there is no reason the grandparents keep the child from you, unless there are proofs you are unfit to care for the child and they appeal for custody for the child. Speak to lawyer to know how best to proceed with your case.

Modify the order and meet at police station or a public place like McDonald's .

The police are right: this is a family court matter that needs to be addressed there. If you do not have legal custody of the children, it's possible that with the father dead, the grandparents would become guardians. And even if you have shared legal custody, the best interest of the child... Read more »

Child support will be recalculated based on income and other factors. I can't say whether you will or will not owe child support.
Without going to court my ex and I would like something, such as a parental agreement stating who has the kids and when. If we make a contract ourselves and sign it, if one threatens to keep the kids can the police get involved? Will it hold up in court?
answered on Sep 24, 2022
No, the cops won’t get involved unless there is a court order. What you have in mind has no legal effect. Better to go to court and get a custody order.
is there a form that cam just be filled out and signed by judge?
answered on Sep 24, 2022
There isn't one form. There are 6 different documents that need to be filed in order For this to be done correctly. You definitely want to hire an attorney to handle this, because if it is not done correctly, it could be more costly later o
answered on Sep 24, 2022
You have to follow the court order. If the other party isn't, you can file for contempt.
