If you are both consenting adults (18+), you may co-habitate, so long as there is not an Order from a Court preventing you from doing so (i.e. Protective Order, etc.)

If you have a judgment for the child support in California, you can enforce it in Utah. You will need a Utah attorney to help you collect that debt.

Might need more details to this. The question is, if the attorney didn't show up, then who is presenting the evidence?

You need to consult with an experienced juvenile court lawyer. If DCFS opens a court case, you may be able to seek the appointment of a public parental defender.

Yes! However, if there is a court order of custody until he has graduated from high school or supposed to graduate from his regularly-matriculated class, there may be some kind of child support issue. Also, if there is some kind of guardianship order of your son, that would need to be considered... View More

You state in your question that you have paid a lawyer to terminate your ex-wife's parental rights, which I assume is in the context of your current wife seeking to adopt your child. You must consult with you existing attorney, or specifically consult another attorney for a second opinion... View More

You had better talk to a lawyer. We cannot answer this question in this forum, as it is too specific, cannot be generalized and should be subject to the attorney-client privilege.

Under Utah law, until a child turns 18 or emancipates, the child must live where any court order says the child must live.

Under Utah law, everyone must report any believable allegations of child abuse or neglect (including getting "handsy") to either law enforcement or the... View More

Absent a court order, the mother of your 18 year old boyfriend cannot stop him from moving in with you. If there may be financial or other consequences, that is a different situation.

This is a very difficult question that is very fact specific. You need to seek the advice of a lawyer to discuss the particular facts of your situation, as it may not be necessary or in you or your child's best interest for you to have your parents have "full custody" in order for... View More

In Utah, the correct formula is to take the entire amount of the insurance, regardless of the various pricing structure, divide it by the number of people covered (including your new wife and 3 kids), multiply that number by the number of children with your ex-wife covered by the plan, then divide...

In Utah, a spouse is not liable for a new spouse's child support obligation. It is unlikely that you can obtain custody of a step child on the basis that the natural mother with custody of the children is living on government support. You will need to consult with a Georgia lawyer to learn... View More

This is a Family Law question. Please re-post it there.

You should contact a family law attorney in the jurisdiction that has control over the timesharing agreement to seek a modification based on changed circumstances.

This may constitute a crime of harassment of a minor, a misdemeanor in CA. See: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&sectionNum=647.6.

Also if the tournament has rules re: safety that are not being monitored and/or enforced, the... View More

I believe you can return the children in this example on Tuesday.

UCA 30-3-35 says:

(c) holidays take precedence over the weekend parent-time, and changes shall not be made to the regular rotation of the alternating weekend parent-time schedule;

(d) if a holiday falls on a... View More

No. You don't have any court orders yet. You need to get into court asap.

The answer is likely yes but we would need to review the terms of your decree to be sure of what your responsibilities are here. You may want to take the issue to the judge since it sounds like your decree favors personal child care over surrogate and it seems absurd she would choose day care at... View More

if your son cannot reasonably afford the support, he should seek a modification of child support (presumably in Utah). Adoption does not normally transfer liability to others, but comingling ownership of assets (this can include tax returns listed as a dependent) can be levied for support payments.

You have to be convicted of the crime. If you are just charged the judge may enter restrictions on bail but not likely. If you are convicted, most crimes have it to where you can't possess a firearm under federal law.
