Is there any custody or support order? You should review with an attorney, and you may need to file a change of domicile motion.

You are doing the right thing by filing the motion. Perhaps there is something negative going on that your daughter is afraid of disclosing. Still, your duty is to comply with the parenting time order and continue facilitating her relationship with her father. Typically in these situations with a... View More

Hi. It looks like you’re in Virginia so the law may differ from Michigan’s where I practice. However, generally, consent is not required from all interested parties. Yet, as an interested party, you do have the legal right to object to your sister’s appointment as guardian if you believe she... View More

The police are right: this is a family court matter that needs to be addressed there. If you do not have legal custody of the children, it's possible that with the father dead, the grandparents would become guardians. And even if you have shared legal custody, the best interest of the child... View More

Go to the family court tomorrow (Monday) or as soon as you can. The result will depend on if you have legal custody.

Interesting question! Have you been filing taxes jointly? As you probably already know, but for others' benefit who may come upon this question, common law marriage is a legal form of marriage in some states. Michigan does not allow for common law marriage, but does recognize marriages legally... View More

Marital assets need to be divvied up in a “roughly congruent manner” during a divorce case. Real property acquired during the marriage constitutes a marital asset.

If the parties can’t agree as to the value of the house and who should keep it in exchange for buying out the other... View More

You should immediately and privately consult with a lawyer in Utah to inquire about the state’s requirements to file for divorce. Many states have a waiting period for new residents before someone can file for divorce. Also, if your spouse has no connection to Utah, then an Utah court would not... View More

I don't think it's a CSI report you are looking for; perhaps an autopsy report? You are going to need an adult to help you get that.

What's your question? Are you alleging a physical or sexual assault occurred?

Not sure what you are referring to by "victim packet" but prosecutor doesn't need that to move forward with charges.

It's an uphill battle, but it can be done where the guardianship is terminated. Were your rights terminated - either voluntary or involuntary after a trial? That will determine whether it's a matter of terminating the guardianship or you becoming guardian of your own child.

There is, unfortunately, nothing other than reporting to the police. Perhaps try contacting the prosecutor's office; they are the ones who determine who to charge and with what, not the police.

What was in the written agreement? It's unlikely you can enforce an agreement to "help".

Is there a current custody case? Best steps would be to file a motion seeking the court's permission.

Anyone can do a background check on anyone nowadays.

There are several legal issues that directly affect you in the areas of immigration and family law. In order to properly understand your legal strategy regarding your present spouse I recommend immediately consulting an experienced immigration attorney without any delay as you need to gather legal...

I'm unsure what your question is. It sounds like you entered a guilty plea. Typically, agreements made in failure to pay cases depend on how much of the arrearage is paid before sentencing. What matters now is not so much what you've done since 2013, or even what you've worked out... View More

Your child support arrearages never go away; doesn't matter how old your kids are. Your back-owed support reached the level of felony non-support.

You should be speaking to your attorney about this, the strengths are weaknesses of your case, and any offers made.

What you are seeing in writing would be in the the judgment of divorce. In a divorce, the court does have jurisdiction over the marital assets. When the parties don't agree, it's the court's job to make an order. And the court retains jurisdiction to enforce that order.
