I have a 5 year order of protection, he also physical abuse me while the baby was present, he has not paid child support and he hasn't had any contact with the baby since she was 6 months of age. I think at this point that relationship will affect her development.
Visitation is a right of the parent AND the child. Unless the child has been abused or is in danger, visitation cannot be denied. However, it can be supervised, meaning the parent with the problems will not be left alone with the child at any time.
If a full sibling (both parents) is filing for guardianship of an adult disabled, do they need to list half-siblings they have never met or have no contact with on the part of the form that requests name and addresses of siblings?
This should be directed to surrogate's court practitioners
My PA support order originally covered both of my daughters but my eldest turned 18 in 2018, at which time she was no longer covered under PA law. Both myself and my ex, along with my youngest daughter all now reside in NY. The order was never transferred from PA to NY, but was modified in 2018... Read more »
Since you now all reside in NY, NY is the home state for all purposes and your ex can file for child support in NY to run until 21.
Hello,

my husband was arrested for drugs in july 2019, he got out a few days ago. what can I do legally to get rid of stuff he left here?
I suggest you let him know that you want the things out or drop it with his family. Just be aware that since you are still married he has a right to come back to the house.
If the father starts a paternity case in Family Court, the court will likely order it regardless of who is on the birth certificate. However if the child is an older child and another person has held themselves out as father, the court can hold the other person responsible for the child. If... Read more »
Your court order of support continues until you get a new court order. You need to get a petition to modify your child support from the Family Court. Informing child support enforcemenmt is not sufficient. Talk to a lawyer.

She’s lives with him for almost 10yrs, she’s turning 12. She lived originally with me here in NY when she was a baby but due to certain circumstances it led to me speaking help in PR from my mother and due to a hurricane my daughters dad asked to keep our daughter so that she wasn’t staying...

Since the child lives in PR for the last 10 years, you would have to file for custody and visitation in PR. You may be able to appear by phone if the court allows it after filing the papers. You should speak with a Family Law attorney in PR.
Check with the local bar association for a list of attorney's that do trust & estates work.

Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done at this time. Each time CPS gets a report they have to investigate. However, if this happens many times (not just a few) you can make a police report. If they investigate and it turns out that the same person keeps making false reports the police... Read more »

You can not file for an "uncontested divorce" by yourself. An uncontgested divorce means both parties agree on all issues. If you filed for divorce and your husband opposed it, the court gets involved. You will need to provide all financial information (as will your husband). You will need to go to... Read more »

Disclosure of all assets is mandatory in all divorce actions. There is no way around this. If some of the money was yours before marriage that may be separate property that your husband can't get but is still has to be disclosed. You should retain an attorney to help you.
