Consult with a local attorney experienced in family law. Domestic Relations should not be handing out legal advice. If your family was not intact when the child was born then it's not likely that your former husband has any support obligation for this child. Retain an attorney to guide you... View More

In general, disability income is considered separate property and not subject to division in a divorce. However, the laws vary by state, and it's best to consult with a family law attorney who can advise you on your specific situation. Additionally, pensions and other retirement accounts... View More

This very vague question has no answer.

No, you cannot. If the child's mother files to have your fights terminated in connection with an adoption, then you may sign a consent to the termination. Otherwise, no.

My father is verbally abusive. If adoption agencies have to prescreen why wouldn’t sperm donor clinics have... View More

It seems unlikely to me but this is not something I'm well-versd in. I suggest that you seek out an attorney who specializes in civil litigation. You might consider taking the time to do some research on the topic as well.

Assuming that the restraining order you refer to is under the Protection from Abuse Act, no, you have to appear as well.

To do so can be rather complex and he really needs to consult privately with an attorney familiar with dependency cases. The rhetorical question that occurs to me is why he didn't take action when the dependency case was first filed.
