You need an attorney and you need to file for custody of the child. Guardianship is only meant to be temporary. At this point you should file for cusotdy and to eventually adopt the child. If I were you I would be looking into terminating moms rights and moving forward with an adoption.

It sounds like the kids are better off with Dad. I hope you would not actually stick up for mom?

Are you in child support arrears? If you are then a judge should just deduct what you owe fromthe child suppoty you may receive. I have not heard of a deadbeat parent act but if you are in arrears child support does it make sense to make him pay? Hopefully a judge will just offset it untilk your...

You just cannot legally ditch the kid. The kid just cannot do whatever he wants. You need to find some counselling and treatment for him. Where is the father here? Every state has a program for incorrigible teens. I think you need to turn the child over to the state and make him a ward of the...

Your friend is about to face the consequences of sex. Were they using any protection at all? If she is pregnant, then your friend has the right to file for visitation and he should get used to supporting the child. If she is not pregnant, then your friend dogdges a bullet and need to insist on...

Do you have reasonable proof he is using drugs? I doubt Dad can just refuse. If he refuses they should just count it as a fail. Sounds like you need to talk to an attorney.

This post is way too long. I doubt people will read it. Shorten it and stick just to relevant facts.

You file contempt?

I would like to chime in here. The courts awarded her temporary custody because the boy has been living with her for 5 years. You really have to prove a change of circumstance. The courts may feel it is not in the kids best interest to move him from grandmas home at this time. The order is just...

Visitation is usually split but unless the order specifies who does the driving, usually it is the NCP. As a parent, you really do not get to stay unemployed. I would be looking for at least a part time job. You might get stuck doing the drop offs or the pickups on future orders.

I have no idea what you want. You have ZERO claim for child support. Paternity was never even established. Move on with your life and write this guy off.

Well you had a lousy attorney, you should have never agreed to pay all that. You are also only required to pay what the order tells you so if mom is trying to hit you up with all these other stuff (extra curriculla) ignore her. Are the amounts you are giving me weekly? If you quit your job thyey...

Yes you need to file for custody and to have the child returned. Mom violated a court order, a judge is not going to be happy with her. If you want to see your cihld again, act now and have her served. You should see an attorney.

Sorry but you decided to get pregnant by a one night stand, Dad does have rights. children cannot be willed anyways. You can state your preference but once paternity is established he will have rights. He can certainly ask for custody should something happen to you.

Is he the father? If so then you cannot remove his name off the birth cert unless you get a DNA test through the courts on who the actual father is. His character has nothing to do with his legal rights. If you want custody and child support, then file for it.

Well it seems that the courts reasons to block the move were legit. You right now have no job and no marriage. Sure you can try again in the future I suppose, nobody can predict what the courts will say.

I agree, non custodial parents are not required to use their visits. It does not m ake sense to try and limit mom even more. Sounds like a power trip to me.

For now, just stop listening to Dad. If I were you, just stay out of everything and let mom deal wth him.

He cannot give up his rights. Maybe his mind will change after the baby is born but you can file for child support after the birth. In the meantime figure out how you are going to support this baby on your own. Hopefully your boyfriend will come around but you need to think of the worse case...

Well if both parents can agree, it will save both of them alot of money. Many courts offer mediation. If they can mediate and save a ton on attorneys fees that is the way to go. Dad generally is entitled to every other weekend for visits and possibly one night during the week. They also need to...
