Good question and reasonable logic. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Child support is calculated using a formula that factors the disparity of income between the parents among other things. Even with joint custody, one parent is likely to pay the other parent some child support.

By "a wife's rights to everything", I'm assuming you mean the surviving spouse's right to a share of an intestate estate. Generally speaking, if the husband dies leaving a probate estate and leaves a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse is entitled to the first $240,000... View More

Yes it is. Doesn't mean an argument can't be made by either party to change it based on best interest factors and what's going on now.

Short answer is no, and there are a lot of reasons why: immunity, time, fault, are just the tip here. CPS is kind of like the police in that they are called and they investigate.

Your uncle could appoint you as his agent, giving you authority to act on his behalf. This does not necessarily need to be in writing, but under some circumstances, you might want to have it in writing. I don't know what it means to "trespass the undesirables from his property", so... View More

Can you take her to court? Yes. Will you win? Depends on what you consider winning.

They do not need to let you stay there. I would suggest you have a conversation with them about expectations, and if there is no... View More

What sort of work is the father taking him to? Is he still able to hangout and attend to your son's needs while working - in an office, for example? Or is your son sitting basically alone for that time?

Any way you could agree to change the schedule? That would be the simplest... View More
