If your father sexually "molested" you as a child, you may be able to sue him for for sexual assault. This depends on how old you were when the molestation occurred and how old you are now. There are civil statutes of limitation on suits of this nature which may prevent your suing him for... Read more »

If you have a current court order that is not being complied with by the other party you need to hire a lawyer to file an enforcement action.
If you need help understanding your current order, pay a lawyer to review it and explain the parts you don't understand.
He’s is undocumented but is legally married to a us citizen. His name is on the deed for the house they got together. He makes $13 or $40 sometimes $100 payments when ever he wants. What can I do to get him to pay the $10,000?
No. His home is exempt from execution. His wages can be garnished for unpaid child support, however.
Probably so, but it would be difficult for you to do by yourself with the help of an experienced Family Law attorney.
CPS kept my daughters survivors benefits she received from her deceased father the two years she was in their care. They told me it was in a savings account for her and then told her it was to pay for her care. Can they do that?
They likely were able to do that. You can read more about the law in this situation here: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0200502159.
If your daughter was under the care of CPS for two years, then that means they had legal custody of her during that time and Social Security most... Read more »
Would this constitute any ethics violation?
No. Going to prison doesn't negate the fact that a person is obligated to pay child support.

So if we get married and when it comes time to do my taxes will that affect me as well. Because I always file separately
If you commingle your money into one account, that account might be garnished for payment towards an arrearage. You might be better often keeping separate accounts or even entering a prenuptial agreement.
I'm being told by their mother that they don't have to talk to me or see me if they do want to. They are 17,15,14 years old.
You could file an enforcement if there is a pre-existing custody order to enforce.
I recently got a new job that pays substantially more. Is it my responsibility to have the child support amount increased?
I know a review to modify can be requested by the custodial parent whenever she wishes. I'm asking if I'm required to self-report that I make more money... Read more »
The Texas Family Code does not require you to self report an increase in income.
I'm being denied my visitation with him and have been informed that instead of him being with his father, his is with the fathers ex girlfriend and she is living outside of Tom Green County. Thanks,
You would likely need to consult with a lawyer in the county where the Court is that rendered the last custody Order.
In order to prevail on a Motion to Modify custody, you have to prove two things: 1) A substantial and material change of circumstances on the part of the mother, the father, the child or some combination of the three, and 2) that the requested modification is in the best interests of a child. I... Read more »
My son is almost 15 and his dad and I get along very well. Is there a way I can cancel out his child support to the attorney general so he no longer has to pay anymore? Or do I have to go through my attorney to do that? we have been divorced now for 8 years. Thank you
You could ask the Office of the Attorney General to create on Order Terminating Child Support and an Order Terminating Income Withholding. If the OAG does not do it for you, however, y'all will probably have to get an attorney to draft them for you.
If the non custodian parent filed for a modification due to being laid off and he got his job back can he cancel the request for a modification if it hasn't been established yet? It didn't help any to ask for a modification because it took forever and I got my job back before it was even modified.
Yes, the Movant who filed the Motion to Modify can file a Notice of Non-Suit.
My wife and i have been separated for about 4 years now. i haven't seen or talked to my kids in 2 years. She has cut off all communication to where i cant talk to the. All i want is something to do with my kids
If you guys are not divorced, you need to hire a divorce attorney to file for divorce and get court-ordered visitation.
Why
Family law cases are very fact specific. You will need to consult with an attorney about the specifics of your case. It is possible for a person to win custody of 1 kid if the facts support it. If the facts do not support it, the lawyer you hire will be able to point that out to the Judge.
A judge will likely consider the side business as part of the father's net resources which would be used to calculate child support.
For a dna test.my question is if he has a lawyer why would it take him or her 6 years to reach me I live in Dallas he lives in Austin I have asked to get parental rights but he won’t sign the forms
I cannot answer a question about another person's irrational behavior. If you think that you are the father of the boy, you can file a Petition to Establish Paternity and, in that process, ask the Court to order a DNA test to be sure.
I have been paying for child support and 100% of car insurance for two kids. Due to learning that I can no longer cover them because my name is not on the title of either car, I no longer have insurable interest my ex expects me to still pay 100% if she adds them to her policy
Most divorce Decrees would not require that the non-custodial parent has to pay for the children’s insurance. Such a provision could only be included in a Decree by agreement. You will have to closely read your Decree to see what your obligations are.
I always have to wait for my girlfriend to get out of work before I can see my daughter. She is always left with my gf's parents. My gf and I do not live together. There is no court order. I do have her covered under my health insurance and help provide financially.
Without a court order saying otherwise, you have the same rights that she does. Therefore, you can pick up your daughter whenever you want to, even if the mother is not present.
Without a court order, the mother can keep the child from you and you can keep the child from the mother. To... Read more »
