File a motion to enforce the child support order and to determine the amount of the arrearage, and to reduce the amount to a civil judgment. You may, if you want to, join with that motion a motion to hold your son's father in contempt of the court order that directs him to pay child support.... View More

You can file for child support and if you are not married and his name is not on lease then give him notice to vacate

I have represented active duty military and also have personal experience with the military with respect to pensions and survivor benefits.

Yes but if he does that you will have 30 days to go to court and ask for support

You need to file a petition in court to change her name and provide notice to the father. If he objects ere will be a hearing

In Maryland, child support ends when the child reaches 18 years of age. The Court may enter an Order that includes arrears back to the date of filing, not the date of separation. Your boyfriend will be required to pay those arrears in full, even after the child turns 18.

The parties interested in custody need to consult Maryland counsel. This issue cannot be competently handled by remote control with an interested, non-custodial step-brother.

You need to have a lawyer review the deed, the will, and any divorce judgment and separation agreement between your mother and ex-husband.

See previous answer.

IMHO, no. This is not your child and you surely did not consent in any way to the affair.

You have two options: 1. Go and see what happens; if you make it 6 months in GA before your Husband files in Maryland, he would have to file in GA; 2. File a Motion in the Maryland Court seeking Court permission to move to GA. It will likely be granted, since it is just as easy to book a flight... View More

Check the wording of the Court Order carefully, it only applies to the Party stated therein, and only requires them to do what is stated. In other words, if only you filed for contempt against her, then the Order that arose from that would likely only apply to her, unless the Court ordered... View More

It can be grounds for criminal fraud, or conspiracy to defraud, on both the son's and the mother's part. Don't do it.

No. The party who filed the motion has both the burden of production to present evidence to support their requested relief, and the burden of persuasion to convince the judge that they are entitled to the relief they are requesting. Therefore, the “moving party” (the one filing the motion) goes... View More

Yes. You should have no contact. If you want clarification, you should file a motion, and ask the court to clarify the ruling.

Lawyers know how to conduct discovery to get at this information. One way is to subpoena all his bank and credit card records, and force him to produce all his payments and invoices for monthly expenditures (rent, mortgage, utilities, cell phone, gas, car payments, auto insurance, etc.). If he pays... View More

Hire a lawyer to file a petition to modify custody. Provide your factual basis for the request in the petition, which I assume will include the fact that the father has not exercised visitation in years and doesn’t know your child anymore and your child’s changing needs require you to be able...

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), your marriage is void under the law and you are not currently legally married. The issue for you is do you act now to establish a court record voiding the marriage, since obviously doing so may have adverse consequences to your... View More

Exercising visitation or not, and not having legal or physical custody, does not excuse a patent’s obligation to support their child. Both parents are required to provide financial support for their child. The noncustodial patent cannot avoid their obligation by not seeing their child.
