Yes. You can do an agreed order for all of those things and submit it to the court to sign.
I lost custody of my two children to CPS foster care earlier this year, and have recently discovered I am pregnant.. what are the chances I will get to keep this child? The living situation, and overall situation is completely different from before.
Probably 50/50. If you lay low and don’t do anything to get on their radar and the other case is closed, your chaNecessary of keeping the baby go way up.
I was married and put on my child's birth certificate i am currently getting divorced. The child is not mine and her biological Dad is now back with her mom and wants a DNA test and rights to the child.
Yes. He can.

The court will probably not allow you to circumvent the system like that, especially if it is the same family court Judge in both cases.
We live in Kentucky
No. You are not.
Yes. You are then emancipated.

She’s in her senior year this year, so I am still responsible for her attendance. I don’t know what my legal standings are though. Some authorities say she’s considered an adult now because of the baby and her age, but others say she’s still a minor and under my authority. So I’m confused... Read more »
She is still a minor and still under your authority. Take the police and go get her.
Can a domestic violence protection order be reduced by judge?
I am not sure what you mean by reduced. If a DVO has been ordered with the provision of no contact a judge can amend that order allowing for nonviolent contact.
I currently live with in-laws and have lived with them for several years by choice and because we all like living together. No one my household has ever been in trouble or had a CPS case against them. I complied with CPS the entire time and each time i did what they asked they always came up with... Read more »
They can request you be ordered to do that but only the judge can order you to do it.
They are VERY UPSET and they keep screaming and yelling at her EVERYDAY. They tell her to leave, but when she tries, they won’t let her. It’s very toxic for the baby and she is going to be 18 in 2 weeks. Can I go get her legally since they repeatedly kick her out and are verbally abusive daily?
Go get her and have the drama delivered to your house or wait the two weeks and then go get her. Once stt Hy es 18, there’ll be no more talking.
Both parents.
In ky the UPA aka Paternity Act gives district court the ability to decide child custody and visitation dispute concurrent with Circuit court. KRS 406.051 (2). So why does ky lawyers and judges refuse to acknowledge district court concurrent jurisdiction in child custody dispute?
Bc its usually the same court and same judge.
KRS 403.800(3) defines visitation as a child custody determination, so do KY lawyers and judges refuse to admit this? They all conclude visitation is not an initial Custody determination. However other states like Texas, Arkansas Tennessee Ohio among others all conclude visitation is an initial... Read more »
Yes. It is a custody determination.
we plan to change our hair and names and head for clarksville . we don’t plan to return . what would be the consequences if found ?

Husband has sole custody/legal guardianship of his daughter. She wants to marry an 18 year old in the military. She is currently living with her grandmother but supported by her dad and step-mom’s insurance. If she marries is she automatically emancipated? In KY.
Yes. Marriage emancipated the minor child when permission is given.
The case is 18 months old, the adjudication date is late August, my lawyer seems to be working for them not me, and refuses to actually argue the case in my defense. And the father (who is living with us and has since she was born) is not a party to the case ....
Most likely no.
Yes. It’s still your way or the highway!!!!
