The stipulation was misrepresented to me by my lawyer over the phone and I was pressured to sign it without full review because my lawyer claimed she would be closing her office soon after I arrived or that only her paralegal might be present.

Your question is much too broad to properly answer here. Importantly, I am unaware if a previous court order exists.

You can technically ask the courts for anything, but in this particular case your petition would surely be denied as the Minnesota Court of Appeals has held that aunts do not have a right to visitation. The one exception? If you played the role of parent in your niece's life (which does not... View More

You pay for an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, you seek help from your local legal services organization. However, the local legal services organization is not under any obligation to represent you.

Divorce? The daughter-in-law sounds like quite the keeper! All jokes aside, the fact of the matter is that no attorney can predict the outcome of any case. In fact, we are prohibited from guaranteeing outcomes to our clients. With that being said, joint custody is the preference of the courts in... View More

Unfortunately, your question is too vague for me to interpret it and provide an answer. Whether you are heterosexual or homosexual (which I cannot determine from your question), the same sex marriage legalization would be of no consequence as both types of marriages are treated equally under the...

Consent is not a defense to the statutory rape of a minor in the state of Minnesota. Thus, marrying this individual would not result in the charges being dropped. Further, the marriage would require parental consent. I suspect the state would not take too kindly to your parents granting you consent... View More

I cannot answer this question without first reviewing the order that is in place. There is a good possibility, based on the information provided, that you could bring your ex to court for his wilful denial of parenting time.

The court will count deferred income as part of the gross income unless improperly informed. I am not sure if you are the individual with the deferred income or the other party based on your question. If you are facing a child support issue, it is wise to hire an attorney.

The stepmother has been accused of abuse or has reported that your son's father has abused the children?

This question is much too vague. Frankly, it is not advised to represent yourself in a family law proceeding. The rules of procedure are complex and there is too much at stake.

The Judge ruled in favor of my ex saying I was instilling fear in my children because I disciplined them at the library and she didn't like that. He ruled that I should take a family class and family therapy with the children and he would allow me to petition the court to remove the OFP. We... View More

An attorney is the way to go. An attorney can help you make a motion and represent you at a hearing to establish your rights, although results cannot be guaranteed. More information is needed to determine if this would be possible in your particular scenario.

I do not know enough of the particulars of this situation to address it here. Frankly, your boyfriend needs to establish his visitation (aka parenting time) and should retain an attorney.

Do you have an attorney? If so, this would be best to discuss with your attorney. You should likely make a motion for approval by the judge in which you request the recording if the other party is not willing to offer it to you.
