Proving domestic abuse without police reports can be challenging but not impossible. You can start by gathering any available evidence, such as text messages, emails, or voicemails that show abusive behavior. Medical records that indicate injuries or psychological harm can also support your claims.... View More

If you are a minor, you parents are in control. If you are being abused reach out trusted authority figures.
I've been divorced for 27 years, and a month ago, I found out that my ex is paying into a life insurance policy without my consent. He also had the policy information going to his address in my name. Can you direct me to the appropriate lawyer to assist me with this?
answered on May 24, 2024
This is my area of expertise, but there may not be anything wrong or even inappropriate. Contact your own insurance agent first to get a free opinion.
There is an order dated entered on March 21, 2024.

He don’t support her in any way he don’t call to talk he don’t reach out to me period my new husband has been there for her how can I get my new husband to adopt her legally
answered on Jan 6, 2024
The father will need to consent to the step-parent adoption or you will need to convince the judge to proceed without it. The judge will need more information than just your statement.

I am sorry, but you don’t provide enough information. Who is "they"? Why didn't she bring a copy to court? Did she even have court? She apparently needs help, but I don't know where the case is at.
I gave her 3 insurance policies she never reported the income to the state
answered on Oct 5, 2023
You may owe money for assistance she already received. I am not sure what her three insurance policies have to do with you.

If you are asking about attorney fees, it will vary. Generally, a relatively sizeable retainer is required. After a few calls, you will have an idea of the costs. Some attorneys are reasonable and some are not. Some attorneys are flexible and some are not. I am prevented from quoting figures.

They have been going to California for about seven years now. They are 17 and 13 years old and don't want to spend the whole summer there. Is there anything we can do to help them?
answered on Jul 1, 2023
The girls' wishes should be considered, but it isn't their decision. The parents will need to modify the custody order to reflect any changes. If an agreement can be reached it should be fairly simple for an attorney.

The parenting agreement says ‘4th of July and adjacent weekend (if midweek - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - from 9a.m. to on 7/4 to 9 a.m. on the 5th). Since this year the 4th of July falls on a Tuesday, does it include an adjacent weekend or the midweek stipulation of 9am from the 4th to 9am on... View More

It would be the midweek schedule. That is specifically differentiated from years when July 4 falls directly adjacent to a weekend.

Yes, the father can seek parenting time. If you are unable to come to an agreement or choose to dig your heels in a judge will ultimately make the decision. It very unlikely a judge will not grant some parenting time. The judge will weigh numerous factors to decide upon a plan. Reasonable... View More

The dad is on the birth certificate but there's never been anything that's gone to court and there is no arrangement. He also signed a piece of paper giving me more custody when I had to get medical assistance. My son is 10 now.

If never married, and there is no adjudication of paternity, the mother has sole physical and legal custody. The father has no child support obligation and no right to parenting time, unless and until a court orders it.
