IF I were a smart-ass, I would say "is this worth $3,500 to figure out?" But, since I'm not a smart ass and want to be very "real" with you, let me say that you should consider a few things, as follows:
1. Have you and your ex-husband been adhering to the... Read more »

You're an invited guest. Your "permission" my be fluid, so don't push it. There's no such thing as abolishing permission revoked. It may be given and taken away fluidly. Be careful!

Several ways. First does ex have a lawyer? The Rules say that service on the lawyer IS service to your ex; second, if you know what state and city he lives in, your attorney can draft a motion for publication of Summons and if approved by the court, your papers will be deemed "served"...

I recommend that you post your question in the Idaho forum since that is where the child is located. I wish you and the child the best of luck!

I feel I have been wrongfully alienated from my sons. They are now adopted by thier paternal grandparents, to which I know that my sons will have to seek me when they come of age. With that being said I feel they took advantage of me, had me sign my rights over unwillingly, and had alienated me... Read more »

Once the adoption took place, water passed under the bridge and there's no going back. Your desires to see them notwithstanding, you should not bother the paternal grandparents and NEVER make an attempt to see your sons. If they're curious when they come of age, they will seek you out,... Read more »

Yes, and judges will approve because courts are willing to acquiesce (notice I didn't say "approve") to people "doing their own thing," I'd be lying if I told you that they're happy about it. When those "private agreements" don't work between the... Read more »

There must be two witnesses but I couldn't find a single, reported appeal to refer to. So I will just tell you that depending on how long you have been married you might be able to seek an annulment? But since annulment isn't guaranteed, but a divorce is, why not simply divorce him?

answered on Jul 21, 2020
Of course it is "legal," but shouldn't be. There SHOULD be a law prohibiting both parents from slandering or saying anything about the other parent to the children. This is called "alienation of affection," and it does more harm to children than any other kind of abuse... Read more »

CASA stands for "Court Appointed Special Advocate." It is a national program. Some states contribute to its funding, others don't. It receives national funding. If a CASA "volunteer" is involved in your case, it's because a judge appointed them to be involved. If... Read more »

We've had 2 welfare checks and 1 cps visit in the last month regarding our children. Both the cops and the cps worker told us the kids have nothing like whats being reported. It is extreamly stressful.

If you knew WHO (for certain) was making false charge calls (that’s the key) then a police officer might take a report from you for “disturbing your peace” or “filing a false police report,” both of which are misdemeanors!
I just had a default judgment against me and lost custody to my daughter for a court date I never even knew existed. It says I was served by mail.

Nope. You were not legally served. You can file a Motion to Set Aside the default. I help people do this once in awhile!

“Gifts” are gifts! You have NO legal responsibility to give back ANY gift he gave you. If he’s (petty and stupid) not careful he’ll don’t stupid things like shame you on social media or worse, post your intimate photos on social media, which is a crime called “voyeurism.”

answered on May 15, 2020
She can ALWAYS petition to lift the NCO! It may or may not be granted . . . depending on the personal, self-righteousness of the judge you’re in front of.
He does pay child support but this doesn't seem fair. The order was put in place by an attorney hired by Heath and welfare.

answered on May 10, 2020
Because the order says that he can and he's current on support. If you wish to change that you need to file to modify the order. Depending on your state domestic laws it may effect the support amount or other items on the order.
