I didn’t abandon my son I’ve been here threw out the whole time he just been staying with them I take him to all important matters I buy him what he needs so why is that
I would need more information before being able to answer your question. What is in a petition are merely allegations. The question is what evidence do they have to prove the allegations.
I requested a DNA test back in Jun 2018. Mother never took the child, that I am aware of. But I mysteriously received some DNA results in the mail in Feb of 2019, and received an order from the courts in April 2019 stating the case was dismissed LOP w/o prejudice. Does this mean she possibly never... Read more »
That is probably what happened. Since the case was dismissed without prejudice, it can be refiled.
I have two boys ages 4 & soon to be 3 years old. I have been receiving some child support for a few months now. At the time we had our mediation I had no issues with visitations.

The only time you can get a jury trial in a divorce action is when the complaint is for adultery and it is only the grounds that allow for the jury trial the equitable distribution part of the trial is before a judge only.
A 17 year old is still a minor under NY law.

That is not what I said and if that is what you understood from my response then your odds have just dropped some more. Words have specific meaning. What I said was your odds are not good with an attorney and are dramatically reduced if you represent yourself. I did not say you have no chance.... Read more »

You need an attorney. Based on your own description - they don't need to lie. Even if everything they said in their Motion for Emergency Custody is lies and everything you have said here is true - even with an attorney, your odds of winning are likely not good but without an attorney, they are...

Purchased a house in October 2018 and mortgaged through Suntrust. In December 2018, they increased our tax escrow from $350 to over $700 a month. I challenged having to pay taxes of the prior owner for 2018 multiple times. In March 2019, I became disabled and lost my job. Tried to work with... Read more »
Unless you actually lost your home to a foreclosure caused by negligence of the lender you are barking up the wrong tree. You cannot sue anyone unless you can prove some actual injury that caused some cognizable damages. "Almost lost our home" is NOT a legal injury; why? Because you still have the... Read more »
Unless the husband and wife are on the same side of the issues and arguments with DCF it is improper for any lawyer to try to represent both spouses. There would be an obvious conflict of interest in doing so.
I’m going there a custody battle with my child father. We going to court in the next 2 weeks. I wanted to know can I ask for supervised visits. If I had to call the police to get my child put of his house, and he refuses. I only called once, but there’s another situation when I didn’t called... Read more »
This free legal advice forum is not the place where you should spend any more time looking for solutions to your serious problem. I suggest you spend the time preparing to present a winning argument as to how your visitation rights can be enforced-- without participating in the never-ending... Read more »
Guardianship since 2012. . Grandma is not opposed. Say I just need to draft and file proper paperwork. I'm in Arkansas and not sure what to file
If the guardianship is here in Arkansas, and if you are a parent of the child, you would need to file a petition to terminate the guardianship. If you need assistance or have further questions, feel free to contact me.
as Executor, and embezzled the estate assets into my sisters company,
You didn't ask a question, but I am guessing that your question is something along the lines of whether you or your father has any kind of remedy for what you consider to be a wrong perpetrated by the probate court or your sister or both. This forum is for questions of a general nature, not for... Read more »
I had no support, rransportation, developed a drug habit due to lose of my son alienation and depression hwith no job money or anything how do I get my baby back?
You will have to prove to the court that you have rehabilitated yourself by the very least being drug free and obtaining a job . This will more likely be a long process for you. Hopefully, you will have supervised parenting time with your child during your recovery.
We do not share information on who we date with one another. I am ready to remarry. Since remarriage doesn't usually affect child support payments, am I required to submit some form of notification to the other parent or can I keep my life private. This is under the assumption that the new spouse... Read more »
No. Not unless your Decree has some unusual provision ordering you to do so, which I highly doubt and would be invalid.
If there's no finalized divorce after 2 yrs. Does interim spousal support continue or does it end.I filed for child support then after they tried to serve him. He went filed for a divorce child support and spousal support with his lawyer. Then we went to court where him and his wife showed up and... Read more »
You already asked this question. It is hard to follow. The first order of child support is unaffected by any subsequent orders of child or spousal support.
My child's father pay childsupport for a child that use to live in Mississippi when the child was born but now lives in Virginia and has live there for about 5 or more now. Is that ok?
Yes. There is a uniform child support compact between the states to collect child support.
Child's father went filed a 102 divorce in August of 17 judge signed in Sept 17 they had a hearing in Oct 17 so that he doesn't have to pay much child support to my child. Him and his wife never separated nor did they finalized their divorce yet its been two years since all of this has happened. He... Read more »
You need to consult with a child support attorney because your question is very confusing. Subsequent child support orders do not affect the earlier child support order.
Baby is 7 months old. Has one mans last name he signed affidavit saying baby was his even knowing possibility it was not. Now bought a dna test sent off. Baby is another man. Other man wants baby to have his name and be on birth certificate and have his rights what does he need to do.
He needs to file an action for paternity and legitimation, and possibly file an action for custody, depending on the circumstances.

Make sure that you understand the terms of your order. Once you do then send her requests in writing and then make sure that you are actually showing up at the specific time and place set out in the order. Get proof that you were there. If possible have a good witness with you. If she does not... Read more »
There is no set amount that a judge can order in attorney's fees. The amount will be dependent on the specific facts of each case.
