I recently discovered that a couple years ago the home on the property was destroyed in a wildfire. He collected 130 thousand dollars in insurance money is what... Read more »
I am not sure what you mean be "Abstract of Judgment". Usually you record a "Transcript of Judgment" in order to effect a lien on real estate. That needs to be renewed every 6 years. If you had a valid lien on the property, it may still be in effect. If not, you may be still... Read more »

You may or may not need to go through probate, depending on how much her estate is worth. If it is below the statutory limit, you can do it without probate by using the 15-12-1201 affidavit. If it is over that amount, you will have to do a probate. you should... Read more »
He's fallen behind over the past 8 months. He's unemployed and that situation is likely to continue for the next several months. He may have to file for bankruptcy, but,if he files for bankruptcy, will that go on my credit record?
There is not a way to have yourself removed as co-signer. His BK may not go on your credit report, but the non-payment of the loan will. It probably already has.
If you are married by common law, she is your wife, just as if you had a ceremonial and licensed marriage.
custody. My son's father is an alcoholic and very irresponsible. I don't even want to leave him unsupervised with him. What steps do I need to take next?
You can file an action for Allocation of Parental Responsibilities. The court can then determine parenting time and decision making responsibilities. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

From May 2019-aug2019 he had seen him 18 of 30 visits. From September- December he seen him for 4... Read more »
Not sure what you mean by "sign over his rights." To who? If he has been determined to be the legal father then he doesn't get to just sign over his rights to the state. He is legally obligated to pay child support whether he sees his child or not. If you have a dispute about... Read more »
My ex and I weren’t married at the time of my child’s birth. His name is on the birth certificate but my son doesn’t see him as his father. My ex left the state for 3 years, only recently returned, has not been paying his child support, and never asks me if he needs anything.i have been my... Read more »
If there is no court order granting him parenting time and you were never married to him then he has no legal rights established as the father. You can move out of state.
Motion to modify in 11/2019. Doesn’t Colorado have a statute against someone filing this much within 2 years? he also filed an emergency motion to restrict parenting, judge ruled in our favor. Is this frivolous behavior accepted by the court?
A motion for a change in majority time parenting can be filed every two years, although the initial order does not count towards the time limit. As far as a motion for restriction, more is needed than just the fact that he did not prevail.
Can I file a motion to dismiss if my ex filed another motion to modify parenting tine within the 2 year Colorado statute? In addition he filed an emergency petition to restrict parenting, at the hearing the judge ruled in my favor, basically told him he didn’t know what emergency meant. He is... Read more »
A motion to modify can be filed in a shortened period of time based on endangerment. It is not clear how the motion to restrict relates to the motion to modify. If sounds as if he may have lost the motion to restrict and is now filing the motion to modify as a second opportunity to allege... Read more »

The family dedicated a lot of time to the child when the mother did not especially when she left him with the step family for weeks on end. There was no official adoption.. now that the family...

If the step family cared for him for at least six months no longer than six months ago, the step family may have standing to intervene and to ask for custody. However, if the parent is fit, this will be an uphill battle. If the parent is not fit, and it sounds like she may not be, then the step... Read more »
I haven’t seen my child in a few years. my ex agrees to parenting time then cancels last minute, I call almost every night and am ignored. I send clothes or whatever I can to support my child under these circumstances. The last time I spoke with my child was last summer after visitation was... Read more »
You can respond with evidence that you have not abandoned the child. You also always have the right to file a motion to enforce parenting time or for contempt if the other parent is not complying with a parenting time order.
A formal temporary guardianship requires a court order. However, a parent may delegate parental responsibilities for a 1 year period without a court order. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
They were married for 13 years but together for only six years. She abandoned him and their two sons (now ages 35 and 37). We have been married for 19 years but together for 26 years and we have a daughter age 17. His ex-wife never paid one dollar of the child support decreed by the court. My... Read more »
This depends on the exact wording of the divorce decree. You can not go back and try to change that. Your husband's social security will not be affected. Your husband may be able to pursue her for the back child support-depending on how far back it goes. He should get a lawyer to review this... Read more »
I am divorced and have a custody agreement in place. My ex has not visited my daughter nor contacted her in almost 8 years. He has not paid child support for the past 4 years. Can I file to terminate his parental rights? My daughter is almost 13 and I have talked with her about it and she wants it... Read more »
Generally, you can only "terminate parental rights" in the context of a step-parent adoption. So, if your husband wants to adopt your child, it is necessary to terminate the parent-child relationship between your daughter and her father. You may have grounds to do so based on what you...

The district court granted the motion to set aside the court order of dissolution of marriage. The divorce got reopened based on the Rule 16 (fraud). I was named as a beneficiary of the life insurance policy; however, the life insurance policy was not disclosed during the divorce. Does the... Read more »
I am assuming that the court set aside the property orders, but not the decree of dissolution of marriage. You are probably still divorced. In that case the revocation upon divorce statute may apply if the insured dies. You could ask the court to have you named you as beneficiary if appropriate You... Read more »
We filed our case Dec 3 2019. We went through mediation and pre hearing with the judge already. This is a child custody hearing. Is she allowed to get a lawyer so late in the process? Also she claims my supervised UA's are not sufficient and wants a hair follicle test now. I do not see how... Read more »
A person can retain a lawyer at any time. If one person in a court proceeding has an attorney, then the other should seriously consider doing so as well. You are right that a personal opinion is not sufficient to support a hair follicle test. She should be introducing some evidence as to why the UA... Read more »
I am sorry to hear about your situation. If credit cards were procured under your name without your consent, that is a criminal matter.
I've been clean , her father and I get along and he said he will sign whatever he need to give me back my parental rights. Could you tell me , What papers do I need to file with the courts. what's steps do I take to get my parental rights back. Thank you
That is good that you have improved your situation. There is not paperwork that you can file. However, a county department of social services or the child's guardian ad litem may file a petition for reinstatement, if they believe warranted. These are the people you should speak with or have... Read more »

If you did not turn in marriage license paperwork to the state, then you are not traditionally married. Whether you are common law married depends on whether you cohabited and held yourself out as husband and wife.
