My domestic partner is divorced for the last 6 years. The divorce was based on her inability to be in a partnership with her controlling and narcissist behaviors (i.e., she had him pull away from his own family for several years). When they had their child after a decade of trying she continued... View More

Your domestic partner is presumably represented by counsel, as is the child's mother.
You should retain counsel. Neither of the parties' attorneys will represent you, nor your interests in the case.
You should count on a "woodshedding" session with your... View More

It could be lies or it could be simply a mistake in the dates. Your best strategy is to hire an attorney experienced in the area of family law in or near the county where you and your daughter were living when she was taken. Usually, when a child is taken into custody by the State, she would be... View More

Judge stated I had money in my 401k and for me to pay for mediation from that account. The rules for loans from 401k don’t allow me to use the funds. What legal repercussions are there for not being able to afford mediation?
answered on Dec 6, 2022
In almost all situations, an employee can make an early withdrawal from their 401k plan to pay a mediation fee in a pending divorce case. It happens all the time.
Good luck trying to prove your 401k plan will not allow you to make an early withdrawal under such circumstances.

The Trust contained his home, a couple IRA accounts (they informed us of these), and a parcel of land that is leased out. His home is still listed under the Trust.

It sounds like the attorney stopped communicating with you because he has a conflict of interest. If the attorney previously performed legal services for your half-brother related to the trust, he quite likely does have such a conflict and should not communicate with you.
You should hire... View More

The answer to your question will be heavily dependent upon the language in the order. Some orders will spell out what happens if a drug test is refused (it’s often treated as a positive), and will clarify possession terms based upon testing. I would encourage you to read the order carefully and... View More

The answer depends on who owned the property at the time of your parents' deaths. If you and your sister owned the property, then your parents' death doesn't give anyone else rights to the property. If your parents still owned the property, then all of their heirs (either under a... View More

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. It could depend on what you signed. As a GENERAL practice nationwide, mediations tend to be non-binding.

Their actions, as you describe them are odious. Yes, they are bound by the written agreement which, as you say (I believe) provides for arbitration. In addition, there may be legal impropriety in their obtaining knowledge of the HHS report.
If you like I can review the agreement for... View More

Was the agent negligent? Sounds like it. But at this point it's not clear what your damages are. If they fix the problem, you won't have any damages. No damages means no claim against the agent.
