records, is this allowed. ?
I am the non custodial parent, I went to my children's school today to request a copy of their records, attendance, report cards, enrollment form, etc. I provided ID. as well as my custody orders specifically showing where I was entitled to all records... Read more »
It is sure. So long as it is allowed under the court order, and you have joint legal custody, you are entitled to all information concerning your children.
That's a negative. If you have joint legal custody, then you are entitled to know any information pertaining to your child.
Mother has primary custody in Mississippi..aunt resides in North Carolina
I am not entirely sure what you are asking. Are you wanting to give someone a temporary guardianship or temporary custody?
My rights were involuntarily terminated due to "abandonment". I wasn't properly notified, although they have my address and the mother lied and said she didn't know where I was. I have not seen my children in 7 years but she did ask over the years if I wanted to visit. I just didn't
It is possible, but it will be an uphill battle, because you will have to move to set aside the judgment. Your best bet is going to be to get with an attorney to further discuss.
My daughter turns 18 in January but does not graduate high school until May. The divorce papers do not specify if the custody agreement is over when she turns 18 or when she graduates high school.
More than likely, it will be until she reaches the age of majority, or when she turns 21.
He remarried 6mths after her death and was killed yesterday during a domestic dispute I want and need custody of my daughters children
You need to get with an attorney ASAP, so that they can file an emergency petition for custody. Feel free to reach out to any attorney on here by clicking the contact information next to their name.
It very well could be. You should probably bring that to your attorney's attention, so that it can be excluded.
I have full custody of both my children and my mother causes trouble she is a stalker and a sociopath. She threatens to take custody and every weekend she calls to try to have the cops throw me in jail or Whitfield but they can not do either because I am doing nothing wrong I am not a threat to...

It sounds like you need to get a restraining order against her. You should be able to go to our local municipal or justice court and they can walk you through the process of getting one.
I sighed my coustady over to the fathers father (grandfather) at the age 17 I never told my mother is that leagal my mom didn’t sighn anything nor my father I need to know if I had the right in the state of Mississippi to do that
It really depends on the facts. Did the father have the opportunity to sign or appear at a custody matter? Was the custody change approved by a judge? You'll need to get with an attorney to answer these and more questions.
And has kept them out oof school 3 days already. He has weekend with them and is to return them on Sunday and haven't
You need to find an attorney to file a contempt action and request an emergency hearing.

I was there the whole nine months, in the delivery room, signed all the paperwork, paternity was established. the baby has my last name and my adresss. she is on her mothers insureance. i have been paying and buying everything since the first trimester. the mother left when the...

You need to get with an attorney ASAP. As a father, you have certain rights that it looks like she is trying to limit. I'd be curious to see what sort of papers that she showed you, as well as whether they were signed by a judge. That being said, if custody or visitation was never established,... Read more »
I live in Mississippi. I have a 3 year old with my ex husband. I got married to my mew husband on June 22 2018. My ex filed for contempt of court on August 14 2018 that i am cohabitating with a live in boyfriend (my husband). Also on the contemp of court papers he put my now married name on them.
You could respond to the complaint, and request reimbursement of attorney fees for him filing a frivolous contempt action.
My brother is 10, I’m 30, my biological mother is raising him. It has come to my attention she is no longer fit to care for him! She has a long history of drug use, in fact she has lost all 3 of her older children due to drug use and went to jail for manufacturing meth when my brother was 18... Read more »
Unfortunately, no. In order for any custody modification to be deemed valid, it has to be approved by order of the court.
She is having behavioral issues at home with me. She has always live with me. Never with him. Asked her dad for her to stay with him, she had to change schools, he lives in a different city. It has been a week since she left. Is that grounds for him to stop child support to me?
Yes, as child support is meant to follow the child.
I’ve never been proven unfit as a paramount custody parent but 2 of my children’s mother has tried three time to take me back to court for a change of custody. How many times with a court allow her to do this when she never has a valid reason for a change other than she just wants them to live... Read more »
Theoretically, she can take you as many times as she would like; however, assuming you have a lawyer, he or she could file a counter claim and request sanctions for filing a frivolous claim.
You can; however, you will need a property settlement agreement dictating how exactly custody, visitation, and child support will work between the two parties.
My parents hired a lawyer & filed emergency custody of my children b/c one of my exes lied & said I abandoned them with him b/c he got in a fight w/my son [14] (note, he is not the bio dad, but offered for them to stay with him for a weekend til I got moved into a new place). I have had... Read more »
This depends on large part on what the emergency custody orders say, particularly with regard to visitation. If this is a youth court matter, then the goal is reunification of the family. If, however, it is in chancery court, then you face an even harder battle. Your best bet is going to be to... Read more »
My wife and I were granted durable physical and legal custody of our grandson after 13 months during which the father died of an overdose and the mother failed the courts instruction in every way. There was no visitian granted but parental rights were not terminated. What rights does the parent... Read more »
It really depends on what your endgame is. If you want custody over your grandson, then you will need to petition the chancery court, and show that it is in your grandson's best interest that you be granted custody. I'm assuming, though, that this is a youth court matter, which has quite... Read more »
I agreed out of court to supervised visitation. It's been 8 months and I want 50/50 and unsupervised. What are my chances?
Well... as to the custody part, it is incredibly hard to modify custody, as it depends on whether there has been a material change in circumstances that negatively impacts the child, and whether the judge would believe that it would be in the child's best interest to modify custody. As to the... Read more »
The child's mother has refused the father visitation rights many many times over the last 15 years and has given her son to his father and now is threatening to take the son if the father does not pay her $50 a week to keep their son
No. With the way that child support works, it follows the child wherever the child lives. Your husband's best bet is going to be to get with an attorney to modify custody, as well as child support, siting the fact that the child now lives with his father and that the mother is threatening to...
