You must appear in court to answer the petition. The fact that she is petitioning for custody does not mean that she will be given custody. Because she is a non-parent, she would have to first show extraordinary circumstances, such as abandonment or neglect on your part. She would then have to... Read more »

Without going to court my ex and I would like something, such as a parental agreement stating who has the kids and when. If we make a contract ourselves and sign it, if one threatens to keep the kids can the police get involved? Will it hold up in court?
answered on Sep 24, 2022
No, the cops won’t get involved unless there is a court order. What you have in mind has no legal effect. Better to go to court and get a custody order.

First and foremost I suggest that she have a consultation with a family law and divorce attorney immediately. The receiver of Child Support is determined by who has primary physical custody and the amount by a formula. I caution it is a risk that if she leaves the two children behind there could be...

You can not simply "terminate your rights". Only Child Protection Services (ACS in NYC) can do thatnor you can be terminated if someone elsecadopts the children. If your rights are legally terminated by court order your support obligations terminate but not any arrears you owe.

You should consult with an experienced family law attorney.

If he is taking them to school every day from CT then yes they have moved. If it is only on Monday after a weekend in CT then it probably isn't a move.

I'd like to keep my lawyer on, and work on payment later. Without my lawyer I don't think I stand a chance. What can I do to oppose my lawyer's motion to be relieved?
answered on Aug 30, 2022
No one should be forced to work for free, and that goes for any profession, including lawyers. Your attorney deserves to be paid and does not have to agree to any payment plan. If he or she does it is voluntary on them. Find a way to pay them or find a new attorney.
