The matter of needing the mother’s permission to attend the type of mental health treatment your children were referred to is a matter pertaining to the legal custody arrangement in place. If you and the children’s mother share joint legal custody, then, yes, it is likely that she would need to... View More

A parent cannot have physical custody of a child when incarcerated. If anything, it is more likely that the court may award the custodial parent full or sole custody, if not permanently, at least temporarily while the other parent is incarcerated. The only possible custody the incarcerated parent... View More

Even if they refuse you can go to a local SS Office or order a birth certificate online or visit your local City Hall in the town you were born in.
Hope this helps.

We recently bought a house and there are 3 of us on the title. Myself, my boyfriend and my mother. But only myself and the boyfriend are on the loan.

Owning property and being in a relationship where you aren't married are two different things. If you all own the house legally and there hasn't been any violence, it's doubtful that any one person can force another to move out.

You can do a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for the I 130 and for any documents that you signed, but you will not be entitled to a copy of the documents she signed, such as the I 485, Application for Employment Authorization or Application for Advanced Parole, as those belong to her.

Tell him his share of the monthly payment and pay up or have him removed from the house.
Hello, I finally paid off my entire child support debt last year after 9 long years! I had to ask them to close it, and meantime my wages were still being garnished until my case was closed, which finally took place in August of 2017.

I would start by contacting the IRS to make sure that your refund was taken for child support. If it was then you will likely need to go back to child support enforcement with proof that the IRS took the refund for child support.

It sounds as if there is no custody arrangement in place (or else custody would be handled by the agreement). You have at least two options. First, you could voluntarily come up with a parenting agreement between you and the mother, but it sounds like finding a mutual agreement is unlikely.... View More
I’m in a legal separation, my wife went on what I thought was a quick trip to see her family and ended up not coming back. She then filed for legal separation. I have had one hearing already and the judge when I asked for my wife to be ordered to return with my child because I did not give... View More

You will need to seek an temporary or permanent order from the judge. You may be able to do this within the legal separation proceedings or you may need to start formal divorce/child custody proceedings.
Will left everything to trust. Named co-Trustees have failed to act within the 30 day time period (after death). Neither wants to serve. Need forms to effectuate my appointment as Trustee.

What I typically see is a "Declination" prepared by and signed by the resigning Trustee(s) just stating that they acknowledge they were nominated to serve as Trustees of the "Name" Trust, however they decline to accept that appointment. The form could include language stating... View More
I was told to obtain Death Certificate and call back because her case was settled and ready for payout. What do I do?
answered on Jul 18, 2017
If an estate was opened there would be a listing of the claim and the attorney. If they told you it was ready likely there were letters in her things about the case. If you know where the case was filed you can check the court dockets.
I went to high school and have my GED. I would like to be here legally to continue supporting my daughter. I just dont know where or how to start or where to even go.

Depending upon how old you were when you came to the US you may be able to apply for DACA. But the next president of the US has all the power to either continue the DACA program or cancel it. So you need to act quick and apply for DACA as soon as you can. And how old is your daughter?, depending... View More
This may sound like a silly question, but I'm getting mixed information. I read one place that people need to fill it out because the form discloses SS numbers which are required for filing for divorce, but it does not make sense to do the form when there are no children. My soon to be ex has... View More

You should call and ask the clerk of court. Are you saying that Social Security numbers ARE required to be filed in Nevada? That seems strange, because most courts have measures in place to prevent Social Security numbers being available for public access.

Wouldn't it be best to shop for insurance and speak with insurance agents about this? It might be best to stay married rather than get a divorce.
I have a very unique case is there a way to search for previous cases like mine and see what the outcome was? also how do I find a lawyer that has tried a case like mine. is there a case history search that can be done on a lawyer to help narrow down my search for an attorney.

You can Google Clark County Courts and then search by attorneys in the area you are interested in which is District Court and then Family Court. You will get a list of cases a particular attorney participated in. Unfortunately, you will have to go the court house to review these cases. So that... View More

The ring is a gift on the condition of marriage. If the couple do not marry then the ring needs to be returned. However, if the couple divorce then the wife would be able to keep the engagement ring.
