Does your bf have a job? How much are you two paying for your "small room?" Are you going to stay home and raise your daughter? Is your soon-to-be husband going to supporting you and your daughter? Idaho judges are going to ask you those questions. You are going to have to be able to... View More

She claims I owe over $60k and I have bank statements. What is my beat option. All my taxes go to her and even my stimulus check went to her.

Your Divorce Decree told you to pay Child Support through "Child Support Receipting." If you had done what the court ordered you to do you would be able to have H&W print out a complete record of your payments. However, because you chose to pay it the way YOU wanted, you will be... View 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. I never received anything in the mail regarding this. How is this property way to serve someone? Is this legal in Idaho? How can they get a judgment... View More

Nope. You were not legally served. You can file a Motion to Set Aside the default. I help people do this once in awhile!
My boyfriend and I broke up and demanded that I send him everything back that he gave me including a laptop, stuffed plushes, and anything else. If I didn’t have it he says he wants the money back for those gifts. He lives in California I live in Idaho. He says will take me in front of a judge if... View More

“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.”
He was 20 and she 16 at birth of child. Hospital reported. Both wish to marry. He's now 22 and set for release, but with 5 year NCO. She's 18 and wants a relationship. They have a 2 year old son together. No contention from family on either side. Can she request it be lifted as a... View More
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.
answered on May 3, 2020
Yes. She will need to convince the Court that she has some place to live and some way to support herself and that she’s either got wheels and insurance OR good bus service wherever she (or her baby) needs to go!

Nope! You’d have to notify the parent by sending him a copy of the Petition. It’s called “procedural due process.” No parent’s rights could be terminated without notice to him under the Fourteenth Amendment.
Just recently her phone started to be taken away and shut off at night. I have gotten 3 different responses as to why. I decided to buy her a phone under my plan hoping that it being mine he wouldn’t turn it off and now he is telling me it’s not welcome in his home.... I don’t call or text... View More

Hi Dad,
First, that wish of yours IS reasonable, to know that she can call you anytime, day or night if she’s in trouble or wants to talk to you! Secondly, you ARE out of luck (if step father says no) because this current “dispute” doesn’t constitute a “material, permanent change... View More
My husband's ex slapped us with a emergency sole custody modification order and a restraining order using a picture she had my son send her and audio recordings she had my daughter record of my husband and I having a private conversation with my son. Is this legal? Can my daughter give... View More
answered on Apr 16, 2020
Short answer: in Idaho only one party to a recording must give permission. However, it’s not your daughter that gave consent is it? It’s your husband’s ex-wife. So yes SHE can do that, but why does it matter to you? What was depicted in the photo? A little more information please?
Long-standing rule in my house (and in my sister’s house for cousins) is that you get a phone when you’re 10. My older daughter (not ex’s bio child) got a reg phone at age 10 (while I was still with ex). Ex told me that he bought it and it will be used at my house “end of discussion”. I... View More

Let me put this in simple terms: "NO," you don't have to let her have a phone while she's with YOU (unless it specifically says you must in your divorce / custody decree), but the bigger question:
1. Is this a "hill you're willing to die on?" In other... View More
I have a 15 year old who has ran away two times now and I can't control him. I'm worried about it happening over and over again. What legal options would I have if I had to go a legal route
answered on Apr 6, 2020
Idaho has created an entire section in the code dealing with "at risk" youth. If you follow the statutory scheme, you would simply call the police and report what you're concerned about. Officers with any experience at all, will come visit with you and make a report. They will... View More
My daughter and husband are going through divorce. After years of game playing between them, the judge has placed custody to their dad. So now me and my wife need to know how to procede.

In Idaho the Legislature has created a statutory right of grandparents to get their own visitation with a grandchild, irrespective of either parent's current custodial arrangement or order. To file such a petition you need to file a Petition for Grandparent Visitation and show that such... View More

1. Did she charge you to watch your daughter?
2. Did you keep a record of all the money you paid her?
If your answers to either of those questions is “no,” then the answer is no.
The judge on a custody case in Idaho is actually friends with the other party. He won't allow any evidence to be submitted through court and has so far ignored our evidence, or refusing to allow the evidence into court at all. Now his court deputy is messaging us on Facebook telling us that... View More
