If there is a custody order in place or a custody case pending, then a parent generally needs to get court permission to move the child out of state.

If there is another treatment program that is a better fit and the person has been accepted into that program, then it is possible to transition a person from one program to the other.

I can't get ahold of my PD, and haven't been able to for several days. I would like to call the district Court and ask for more info about the plea deal, but I'm not sure if this would harm my case in any way. (Ex. Could this get back to the county attorney somehow)
answered on Sep 27, 2020
If you have an attorney, the attorney on the other side can't talk to you. Thus, if you have a public defender the prosecutor won't be able to talk to you.

The parenting plan could then be incorporated into a custody order. This way, the parties both have something... View More
I am a US citizen, my sister and her kids (18 and 14) just came in the US on b1/b2 visa, is it possible for me to file I-130 for them while they are still here?
answered on Sep 20, 2020
You can file the FORM I-130 on behalf of your sibling. However, keep in mind that a immigrant visa will not be available for a period of several years and your sibling can remain lawfully in the U.S. for 6 months with the B-1/B-2 non-immigrant status.
You should consult with an... View More

A father can file an action to have paternity legally established. If the Court grants the request, the Court could award the father custody or at least parenting time. The Court would likely also address the financial issues. This would likely include child support. child care expenses, and who... View More
can i enter the property if give tenants a 24 hour notice. the tenant is being evicted on Oct 13. The property was a rental property but I am buying the property.
answered on Sep 15, 2020
You are not the landlord if you are in the process of buying, so no, you can't enter even if you give notice.
You could have the actual landlord give notice and they can take you with them to see the property.
You should probably be represented by an attorney in the purchase as... View More
Can she get her back? Can my granddaughter terminate the guardianship because she is 15?
answered on Sep 14, 2020
A parent can ask for a guardianship to be terminated. The Court generally looks at whether the parent is fit or not to care for the child and what is in the child's best interests.

answered on Sep 4, 2020
If you are implying that there may have been some type of fraud in removing the mother's name and adding the brother's name to the title, then that needs to be looked into and corrected if necessary first before participating in the brother's willingness to add another name to the... View More
My husband is projecting that I could make $ 32,000 although I gave up my career to stay home with our 4 children for 16 years. So he is using that number, but refuses to use the current year for his wages.
answered on Aug 31, 2020
The question is probably is it proper, not is it illegal. Even if you agree on the amount of child support, the numbers you use now could affect whether you would qualify for a child support modification in the future. If the Court finds your earning capacity is $32,000 now, it could be very... View More

Generally for a non-parent to gain custody of a child, the person has to show that not only that they are the real or better parent but that the legal parent is unfit. A parent's rights are protected by the Constitution and parental unfitness is a high standard. If the biological parents... View More

When a person dies without a will, then statutory laws apply to determine who takes the estate. You would want to contact a probate attorney for assistance.
