My husband filed a divorce petition that I contested. During mediation he wouldn't negotiate at all so the case has gone to court. He changed the password on the bank accounts so I don't have access. He pays some bills and gives me $800 per month randomly. That's not even close to... View More

It seems odd your attorney wouldn't address your short term need at the onset. You should be seeking temporary support and requesting he pay your attorney fees. The Minnesota Judicial Branch website Help Topics is an excellent resource. Some attorneys, like myself, will try hard to make legal... View More

No, the legal process of serving your wife with divorce papers would not be a violation of an OFP. But you should have representation assisting you with this process. Having a "friend" serve her with divorce papers is far more likely to cause problems for you than if you have an... View More

It's not a good idea to post details of a possible crime on a public website. But calling a lawyer with a telephone would be a better way to start. A Minnesota therapist will be a "mandated reporter" to police, of any child abuse disclosed to them. Therefore seeking help could lead... 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.

The fact you were "told [you] mite be the father of a 1 year old boy that had been in children services" doesn't give you any rights. You need to determine how you want to proceed.

What do you mean by "legal document?" A notarized document is just that, a " notarized document." I can sign my grocery list and have it notarized. That proves I signed my grocery list, nothing more.
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

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.

Child support and child custody are related, but separate matters. Relocation is primarily a custody matter.

The judge may allow you to retrieve your possessions. The will not award you money. You don't, however, have much to lose by bringing the subject up. Who is the petitioner? I am guessing, you.

I know that I wouldn’t brelinquish my parental rights For nothing in the world so for this to happen is pretty devastating But more so it’s not right for someone to literally take someone’s child

A lie detector test isn't worth a thing. You can request information as well. I am sorry, but it doesn't seem you have a good grasp of what is happening. The court has information on its website and the law library is a great resource. Obviously, an attorney would be advantageous.
My wife was present and her lawyer and I was in jail for threatening her and next morning I was in court they got granted the order but I feel I was denied my rights and nobody cares.

The United States and Minnesota Constitutions both establish the right to an attorney for anyone facing a charge punishable by “loss of liberty.” This would not apply to protective orders.
