The adoption will not change the no contact order. Normally the order will have a duration (a year, permanent, temporary). The only way to change that term is to return to court. Speak with a local lawyer for more specific advice.

The best way for you to force the issue is to bring a paternity case against her. You would probably need to go to court in Georgia where the child lives. Step one would be to request a DNA test and then go from there. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
We are married outside of the USA (Canada) without a name change, and I'm a dual citizen of Canada and the USA.
We would now like to marry and join last names in New York State where we both live, are we best off getting a new license and marrying in the clerks office?
Thanks!

No need to get married again. Your Canadian marriage is fine. If you want to change your name on social security or diver's license you can simply show your marriage license. Or you could file a name change petition in court.
Specifically, children sleeping with adults. And is there a requirement for space for a child? Or is it ok for a mom, her “husband” (by title only, no actual marriage), her son (not the son of the “husband”), and their daughter to live in one room in another person’s house?

It depends on the age of each occupant. Texas law limits occupancy to three adults per bedroom. A landlord can impose a more restrictive rule, for example limiting occupancy to two adults per bedroom.
If the children are minors, however, federal law prohibits housing discrimination... Read more »

No, only the court can "put a restraining order on someone." But your mom may be able to convince a court to do so.
divorce states husband to pay mortgage and the home is wife's primary residence ex husband is now demanding wife and sister in law to pay portion of mortgage and if not they both need to leave.
answered on Nov 29, 2022
Without reading the divorce decree, it's difficult to say but in general, if the Court granted the Wife the exclusive use of the house and ordered the husband to pay the mortgage, then he has no standing to demand that anyone do anything. It may not be a bad idea for the Wife to engage the... Read more »

You need to hire an attorney, file a motion to modify residential custody and attach a report from his therapist (or get him in to see a therapist if he doesn’t have one.
The instructions say to sign name exactly as appears on deed. My husband and his wife were divorced many years ago and he got the house; he left the house to me, but the only proof that it was his is the divorce papers. How should I sign the TODD?
I’m not asking to modify child support just circumstances have changed with my parenting plan and I can’t come to an agreement with the mother of my son.
answered on Nov 28, 2022
You can make an argument that if there are no financial issues then the mandatory disclosure for a modification are not necessary. However, if any of the requested modifications change the overnights, which in turn can change child support, then they may be required. If necessary, the focus will be... Read more »

This is one of those questions that require too much decoding to properly answer. We do not know any of the procedural history of either the paternal grandparents or the maternal grandparents to opine on what one's lawyer should have known or not.

There is not enough factual information here. What was the misconduct alleged to have brought about the PFA and what if any proceedings are currently taking place? Assuming the worst allegations, no PFA will be denied and the parent with the child can make an attempt to abscond with the child. Most... Read more »

If your mother had a will, then it largely depends on the wording in your mother's will as to what she says would happen to your mother's portion should your mother (or any child) pre-decease her. I recommend taking a copy of the will to a probate/succession attorney in your area and... Read more »

You would need to hire a family law lawyer here in Florida. He would need to domesticate the foreign Massachusetts Alimony order here in Florida. Once that transfer is made, you can then enforce that via discovery and contempt if need be.
