Montrose County filed for support of evidence that he was deceased but bec it took place in... Read more »

I am sorry to hear about the situation. You could talk to a caseworker who could explain the reason. Often people will have life insurance to insure support or you might be able to make a claim against the estate if probate is a possibility.
We are getting receipts that are almost a year old from the other parent, asking for repayment of our portion.

The parenting plan often will specify a time. If it does not, you can have it modified to specify a time for submission and reimbursement. There is no law that specifies a time.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. The fact that she becomes married is not likely to impact whether she is a fit parent. Though if it increases financial stability that may be relevant. The focus will be on her and her behavior and treatment success.
My ex husband kept my son from any contact with me for a year and a half. During which time he removed him from school telling him it was for his own good he is to stupid to be in public. He socially isolated him. Neglected to give medical treatment to him on numerous occasions. He and his wife... Read more »

In the divorce paperwork my ex wife stated that our daughter was not mine and I was not the biological father so what rights do I have and can I file charges cagainst her

I am sorry to hear about your situation. If your name is on the birth certificate or the child was born during a marriage with her, you are the presumed father. If you would like paternity testing, you can do that privately if you have doubts. As far as charges, it is not likely that you can file... Read more »
house again. The rabbit hasn't hurt anybody and the only problem that they've mentioned is uncleanliness. Is there any legal basis behind that or is he bluffing?

He has no grounds to press charges, however if your girlfriend's father has no custodial responsibilities for her, he has no obligation to allow her or the rabbit to come into the home. If he does have custodial responsibilities, he still has no legal obligation to allow the rabbit into the... Read more »

She gets to claim them on taxes per the court paperwork and will not give the kids any of the stimulus money. It doesn't seem... Read more »

Generally if the stimulus money was used for household expenses or for the children a court would not require that it be shared.
Court would be for rights to a kid And the pictures are not good

You can always defend with whatever evidence you have. You can also agree to settle the issue without going to court. The importance of the pictures to the case depends on what the pictures show.
I would first like to get a continuance on the date which is next Tuesday, 1/26/21 and then establish permanent full custody with specific visitation rights. My 13 y/o son has autism and multiple special needs. It will be a simple custody court case because the father is unfit, homeless,... Read more »

I can help you with advice only. We would need to talk more about what kind of limited services you are thinking of though and we would need to sign a representation agreement spelling it out.
Petioner has admitted to lying in court about his employment and refuses to pay child support. He is also unemployed and does not have the funds to support our son. He is also filing his 6th motion to get child support terminated as well.

The answer to your question depends on what the current status of the case is. It looks like he plans to file motion. You have the ability to respond to that motion within 21 days if you are in Colorado and within 35 if you live outside of Colorado.
Under false pretenses besidesOnly thing is is living in hotel rooms after losing house. And is it against the law to do it without being served with paperwork before court date

A person who has no connection to a child can "take the child away" in court in the sense of obtaining custody. It sounds like the father here may have some connection to the child.
My grandmother has been refusing to let my children be taken from her custody under threat of dhs involvement, since June 2020. The judge in both cases acknowledged my custody order but doesn't know why its not being enforced. HELP

If you have a custody order, you can enforce it in court. You would file a motion to enforce.

He does not have any parental rights absent a court determination that he should have them. It is sometimes possible for a non-parent to obtain parental rights if doing so appears to be in the best interests of the children.

Without knowing the specifics of what you're referring to and the specific Court order at issue, no attorney can say you're correct 100%. But, generally speaking, an Order from the Court that requires 2 parties to act or not act in a particular way can become moot upon the death of one... Read more »
My support was lowered in sept. I continued to received the same support in sept and oct because the child support office had not processed the court order yet. I had not received anything since Oct 7th and was told by them that was due to the modification and had been paid more in sept/oct. Made... Read more »

I am sorry to hear about your situation. Everything that you are describing sounds possible. For example, your ex's payment could have been garnished for another debt. You might request a copy of the support documentation from the caseworker to review or ask to speak with a manager who might... Read more »
Do I put my husbands income down on the financial statement?

Your current spouse's income does not count towards child support for a child of another marriage. You just put down your income.

If you would like an agreement that is enforceable in domestic relations court, then you should have a court order.
My son and I live in Nebraska and his mother lives in Colorado where we were divorced. He is now at the age where he doesn't want to go visit on the one weekend a month that he is supposed to go. All they do is argue when he is there.

The parenting time plan is what the court order specifies. If you feel that a change is in his best interests, you can request a modification. There is no time where a parent can allow a child to violate a court order due to age.
At almost 2 years I was arrested for a violation . My kids was taken from me from our home in Colorado.. the judge said 150 days why isn't what the judge orders being done

You may wish to have an attorney review the order. If the order was issued in Utah, any modification would have to occur there if any of the parties remain there.
