He was under 21. Any hope of reinstating his adopted birthright?(Kellogg)
Assuming this happened during the war in Vietnam, no; the statute of limitations would have tolled any claim he may have had, decades ago. And what do you mean "birthright" should he have inherited something from the "deceased heiress"?

If the custody order is not clear on the subject, you need to seek clarification from the judge.
She is on probation and has been leaving the home to go to the home of where this grandfather is the adult. Her probation officer said it was fine for her to move in there. We have already called a family lawyer to find out we can’t file for emancipation, because she is three months from her 18th... Read more »
You might want to get the probation officer to sign something.
He doesn’t want to give me the documents proving he’s a Florida resident because he always wanted to complicate my life. Plus he never paid child support. Is there something I can do to get my right of in-state tuition?
Yes, you can do what all other out-of-state students usually do: Wait until you satisfy the rules for in-state tuition.
He claims that his baby momma will not give him a dna test to see if that’s actually his kid. She even moved out of the state in seeing if he would follow her but he can’t. Yet when the baby was born she put his last name on the birth certificate without his consent. He has asked multiple times... Read more »
There is really nothing he can do unless he wants to sue for visitation or custody. He would have to sue in the state where the child was born.
The mother doesn't need his consent to give his last name to the child. Presumably the birth certificate doesn't name him as the father.
My wife & I were in a poly amorous relationship with a woman who disappeared to TN & has very recently had a baby whom she says is mine. She is adamant she does not want me involved in any way & I have serious doubts but need to establish whether this child is actually mine. She has... Read more »

His usual night is friday to saturday however holiday time states 11 to 11 next day is it ok to go along with the segment 4 one night per week and give him his holiday time and not the full weekend?
Holiday timesharing is in addition to regular timesharing, not a replacement. So if his regular overnight is from Friday to Saturday and the parenting plan says that 4th of July is from the 4th at 11am to the 5th at 11am, then he is entitled to both days.
Good luck!
We do not have her address and the courthouse said they can’t file the paperwork without it. I feel like this is gonna be a very messy battle. How can I get the address and do you think He’ll need a lawyer to get visitation?
Yes, he will need a lawyer. The attorney should be able to figure out how to serve her with process. But I doubt that he will be awarded visitation until he is out of prison.

Yes, if the Puerto Rico divorce didn't result in a final judgment and was dismissed instead, you can file for divorce here in Florida. It may well be possible to do it without your wife being physically present.
What can you legally do when a 17 year old teen gets pregnant and runs away to boyfriends house?
Are you referring to your daughter, who is unmarried and has run away to stay at another home for more than 24 hours? If so, you may call the police, as the parties sheltering your daughter without your consent are breaking the law (Fla. Statutes Section 985.731), and/or you may call the following... Read more »
I live in Florida my husband and I are still legally married he abandoned me I have rh3 key to the car and I know where it is
You should probably get a court order allowing you to do that first. And the divorce decree should recite that the car is yours.
All personal (1040) federal and state income tax returns, gift tax returns, and intangible personal property tax returns for the preceding 3 years. Does this mean 3 years of documents for each requested document or only for the personal property tax returns?
The language is very clear: The opening word "All" applies equally to each of the three listed categories of documents following the word. The fact that there is a connector word ("and") appearing between the last two categories should make it even more clear. Send them copies... Read more »

Who is liable for medical bills--or any other unexpected expenses--should be explained in the divorce papers or the child support agreement you signed.
Within 8 years $15000 still owed. Never received. Can this still be collected reconsidering date of agreement 1977?.
With a few more crucial facts--like the exact date of the Final Order imposing the $15,000 debt and the exact date the family owned business was sold this very old debt might still be collectible in Florida. However, it will require some very creative lawyering not often seen in and around Family... Read more »

There is no magic moment when a parent can have their parental rights taken away; and there is no way to do that without the parent being involved and making conscious decisions--which seem unlikely here.
