You need to report this to the Police. If I understand you correctly, this man has kidnapped the child. If the child was born out of wedlock AND if the man NEVER legitimated the child, the man has absolutely -- NO RIGHTS whatsoever to the child. None. Letting this go on for more than a year...

DUPLICATE QUESTION.
adjustment for travel cost? My CS order is 2yrs old. Can this be done?
A travel deviation is discretionary. You should consult with an attorney. It is possible that even though your order is 2 years old, the support could increase if your income or the child's expenses have gone up, or if the mother's income has gone down.
I’m 17. I’m two months away from being 18. I’m moving out and teaming with a trusted friend as a roommate and I’m going back to work and I have a small business as well. I just don’t want to be at home anymore. Is there not much a policeman can do since I’m so close to being 18? I... Read more »
Forget emancipation. Not enough time to make that work. Until you are 18, your parents rule the roost. Should an adult help you move out before you are 18, that person could be charged with interference with custody. It's only 2 months. Focus on the positive things you should be doing... Read more »

We were never legally married, lived together 8 years, I am legitimized, pay child support and a court order to have my daughter every week but my ex will not ever allow me to get her. What should my first step be?
Contact an attorney about filing for contempt. Before you do, send a text indicating you are going to exercise your parenting time at the next scheduled time and you will sue her if she does not allow it.
She a restraining order against her husband he cant even see his kids while she has another man living in his home
I agree with my colleague. He should file for divorce and ask for parenting time. He must still abide by the conditions of his TPO. If he doesn't it could jeopardize his future parenting time.

You can pay this way as long as you don't have a court order specifically telling you to pay another way. First, send a dollar to the number and get a text confirmation that she received it. After that confirmation, you can send the full amount knowing she got it. As an extra measure you... Read more »
