My daughters father wants to sign his rights over but I don't have a significant other to take over his rights. Can a family member of mine take over his rights? Or do I have a significant other take over his parental rights?
You need to be married and your new husband willing to adopt your daughter. If a family member adopted your daughter, that would require a termination of your parental rights, too. The only way that your ex's parental rights can be terminated while yours are not terminated are if there will... Read more »
You would need to file a formal name change proceeding in the circuit court of your residence. However, you can only do this with the agreement of your parent or guardian.
My ex and I had an agreement that he'd pay my cell bill since it's in his name if he can keep my tv which I'm still paying on. I only agreed because he changed the locks and wouldn't let me get my stuff unless he could keep the TV. It's a $2500 82 inch smart TV I just... Read more »

The people I delegated power to refuse to return my child and I'm being told there is nothing I can do even though I have legal custody
Your question is not clear. Did you stipulate to guardianship or award someone a Power of Attorney over the child?
If there is no court order prohibiting certain individuals from being around the kids then your ex husband has no say in that. He can file a motion seeking such an order, though.
Yes. Custody is decision making power and does not affect rights to see a child, for example.
8/1/2017. She has confirmed that she will not marry until the alimony subsists 3/2022. I have learned that a WI Supreme Court Case Jan. 9,2017 found the ex-spouse in contempt and ordered the termination of alimony. Does this apply to me? She and her fiancé make over 100K/year and own two homes... Read more »
What you were referring to is called a "cohabitation" case. You should contact an experienced family lawyer to discuss as these can be complex.
That depends on whether you already have a judgment of paternity and/or custody and placement orders. If you do, then you can file an enforcement motion seeking to enforce the previous placement schedule. If you do not, you need to file an action to establish paternity, and if paternity is...

I have placement 3 hours a week it was a final judgement order. There’s no parenting plan. I want my child on weekends as well. Can my ex deny my extra visitations?
If your court order does not allow for additional times of placement then your ex can deny you. Depending on when your final judgment was issued, your best bet would be to file a motion to modify placement and seek additional expanded placement with your child(ren).
My wife hit me and I have a black eye, I pushed her off of me and left the house. She called PD and they issued a warrant for me. She said I punched her and that she didn't hit me at all. Now I'm being charged. Court is tomorrow 10-30-19
I you feel you can represent yourself and obtain a reasonable bond, then you can take the chance.
You will eventually need one, so why not start now?
We were never married, current orders only state visitation details. Dad is to submit to me monthly drug test results in order to see child..he has been out of jail since March of 2019 has not given me any results or complied with order. Dad spent 3 years in jail on for felony gun and drug charges.... Read more »
That depends on what your current orders say. The laws on removal are complicated and were recently changed. I strongly recommend seeking advice of counsel before doing anything in this case.
I’m not aware of any state fill-in-the-blank forms specific to grandparents visitation cases. You could try using the generic motions to modify custody and placement forms, but a well-seasoned attorney might be your best bet.

Both Wisconsin law and federal law provide a right for a person being cared for due to a disability to be given the least restrictive placement.

Adams walch act? I am not registered . I did 60 days time , 1 year probation
It's quite possible it will. You should consult an experienced immigration attorney for assistance with this matter.
I want nothing to do with my sister also when dealing with my moms estate. I basically want to erase any obligations i would have it either would pass away.
When your mom passes, you can disclaim any inheritance.
You can file the paternity action either in Jackson County or Trempealeau County. I would think that the better option in this case though would be to file in Jackson County since the I assume the child is living with the other parent in that county.
We had joint placement but my ex didn't have day care for him so he said I had to take him for the summer. Now that schools in place he wants him every other week again and I think he's doing much better full time with me. He refuses to pay anything more.
If you want to receive child support, you would need a court order in place to be able to enforce it. In most cases, child support will follow a placement order so you will probably want to request an order for primary placement and then request the court to calculate child support for that as...

According to a banker I know with a lot of experience.
You are misinformed about MN law. In MOST states (and MN and WI are in that crowd) IF children inherit without a will, ALL children inherit equally. There are situations where children will NOT inherit without a will in MN (For example, if there is a surviving spouse who is also the parent of the... Read more »
I have made him a counseling apt and was wondering does the counselor have to report this to CPS. I am fine with that happening but my ex is mad.
Yes, the 17 year old is an adult for criminal court and the charge could be disorderly conduct, battery, and felony child abuse.
Your suspicions are correct and it should be reported. If not, who is to protect the 9 year old?
