You do not need to consent to the other party's motion to be relieved as counsel. As to your question regarding a dismissal, you have not provided enough information. The court does not ask parties if they want their case to be dismissed. It doesn't work that way. If you do want your... Read more »

Do I have to tell the Noncustodial parent that I am moving I’m still staying in the state of California and all he has is visitation of our son everything was finalized in court in 2019
If the place you are moving is far enough away to interfere with your current custody orders, you have to get the court to change the order. You can't just tell him you are moving if the move will interfere with your custody orders.
There is a open separation in the courts. The mother believes that I am not allowed physical custody of my children. The reason for the separation has nothing to do with the children. It’s issues between me and her with trust on both sides. But I want to make sure that as the separation goes... Read more »

The exception would be a situation in which being with one (or both) parents poses a threat to the health, safety... Read more »

Sorry you are having problems. You should look for a local Legal Aid Society or contact the County bar association where you live. Unlikely you will receive free legal services from a private attorney. Family Law matters are very complex and take a lot of time. Attorneys get paid for their time.

My wife and mother in law have made false accusations of being unsafe with me and of me “shaking” my babies. I’ve been cleared because it never happed. And now is trying to get restraining order so they can take my twin babies to Washington DC. They’ve contacted help on their end so I’m... Read more »
The answer will depend on where your wife and children are located, because that is where you will have to take your stand. I am not a family law lawyer, and am only licensed to practice in California.
You can start by asking for help from the JAG Office at your marine base. You might ask... Read more »

After documenting several of these attempts, talk to a lawyer about filing a motion to get a... Read more »

Sorry to hear you are experiencing these problems. You can obtain a Civil Harassment restraining order by applying to the court for one. Most of these are done by people without attorneys, but it really helps to have one.
Im going to be 17 in 9 months, but I’d like to leave my home now. I would have a steady place to live and a full way of getting to school. Is there any legal way my mom can force me back if I runaway without her knowing?
Yes, you can be forced back, unless you are a legally emancipated minor. There are forms on the Court website and information online on how to do this. I suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.
Go to the website for the court in which the case is pending. There will be a place for you to find "forms" which you can search for the kind of form you are looking for. Family Law is a very complex area, I would suggest you should contact a local attorney to discuss your personal situation.

Retain legal counsel. You need to make the right arguments, properly submit your evidence and properly cite the law in responding to the father's requests. A 50/50 schedule between two counties for a 10 month old is unlikely going to be seen by the judge as in the child's best interests.
I am the biological mother and allowed someone who is not the biological father sign my child birth certificate. And I want them off
I THINK THIS IS BETTER ASKED OF FAMILY LAW ATTORNEYS, NOT CRIMINAL.
IF HE AGREES TO TAKE HIS NAME OFF, MAKE AN APPT WITH A LOCAL LAWYER WHO HANDLES CASES LIKE THIS TO SEE WHAT HE WOULD CHARGE TO ADD TO THE CALENDAR AND PREPARE THE MOVING PAPERS TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WANT.
