You should review your custody agreement with an attorney. They will be able to accurately advise you.

You should retain an experienced family law attorney to help you navigate these issues.

There could be an issue with the way he is attempting to present the evidence. Courts have specific rules about how evidence can be entered into the record. He should hire an attorney to assist because attorneys know those rules.

I think your post has at least one typo in it which makes it difficult to understand and impossible to answer. Try posting again.

This question is very hypothetical. You can use any evidence in court that you can get in over objections.

The payout is going to be redirected because you have the back payments owing. Unfortunately, the state will not care much that you lost your job.

An OFP is a one way street. The protected party is not prohibited from doing anything. They can call, text, send gifts, visit etc. None of that is a violation of the OFP. However, if the other party responds to contact initiated by the protected party, it is a crime. A first violation in 10... View More

No she cannot and by doing so she is in violation of the court order as it applies to your parenting time. I currently know of no judicial officers who are suspending a parent's time with the children, or putting such drastic restrictions upon how and where it occurs, because of the pandemic....

I do not have the information about the case to give a definitive answer. However, a judge can after a review of all the evidence and testimony decide that parent (biological or not) is the de facto custodian of a child. Since the court order was in 2017, the appeal period has passed, although an... View More

I would be more than happy to speak with you, as would many of the attorneys on this site. You need some help to get this done. This is difficult situation. When do you turn 18? Are you currently emancipated? Those would be good first steps. Do you think your mother would agree to you... View More

As the Aunt it would be very difficult to get visitation awarded. The court takes into consideration certain family relationships where the child has more of a parental relationship with say an aunt or a grandparent, but even then it is usually denied by the court. The best option is to try and... View More

This is a difficult situation. I attended a seminar with Civil judges and they stated how backed up the court is in regards to family law related issues. Judges are putting criminal cases at the top of the calendar. They are beginning to open the court virtual hearings but getting an emergency... View More

Child custody can be very difficult deal with. The most important thing you could do is seek an family law attorney. An attorney can petition the court in regards to your protective order. If you are unrepresented, the first step is to find a lawyer to help.

First let me say how sorry I am for this difficult situation you are in, and you should seek assistance. As far as emancipation, Minnesota Statutes do not provide either the grounds or a procedure for emancipation. Minnesota case law has established that a minor can be emancipated by a legal...

Yes. You are legally considered to be an adult, however Minnesota law is clear:

259.241 ADULT ADOPTION.

(a) Any adult person may be adopted, regardless of the adult person's residence. A resident of Minnesota may petition the court of record having jurisdiction of adoption... View More

She can certainly petition the Court for emancipation. There is no real bright line test, but the Courts have a lot of discretion in declaring a minor emancipated. Some of the factors include the minor’s living situation, consent of the parents and the overall situation or actions created by the... View More

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by "custodianship," but child support obligations end when the child has BOTH turned 18 and graduated. If still in secondary school, the obligation can continue until age 20.

Does the custody agreement include an order for parenting time? If not, what is the purpose of the drug-test provision? Does the agreement set forth penalties for failing to pass a test (in general, failure to take a test is treated the same as failing to pass)?

Generally, you can ask the court to order testing for the person you believe to be the father and, if necessary, your ex.

Unless something was inadvertently left off in uploading, there wasn't an admiralty/maritime element here. If there was a maritime element, you could repost and include it. Good luck
