I agree Dad needs to file for custody or ask that the child be returned. He really should contact an attorney and see maybe about emergency custody.

Where is the child's mother and why can't she see the child on her time? If this is impossible and mom is totally out of the picture, grandma needs to see an attorney but it is likely she has very few rights. She might want to try and make peace with Dad.

Yes you can be forced to leave the child behind. Dad has the right to see his child and the courts will determine if the move is in the child's best interest or not. I suggest you work something out with him to get him to agree to the move. How far away are you moving? Are you willing to do at...

Sex between a 16 and 17 yr old is not illegal. Very poor judgement on that woman's part but not sure the police will do anything since no crime occured. You can definitely keep your daughter from seeing this boy. Unless the morning after pill was given again probably no crime. Time to get your...

It seems to me you were uncooperative, combative and resisting arrest. You should have just kept your mouth shut and sat in the patrol car. You were acting out. We are only hearing your side too I wonder what the officers account is and I can almost guarantee they will differ.

Why did the parents have the 3 yr old residing with the other grandparent? That complicates things as the child has bonded with that grandparent. That grandparent has the right to pursue custody but it is up to the courts to determine what is in the childs best interest. The maternal...

The only way you can get out of paying child support is to file for custody. If mom is the custodial parent she is entitled to child support. since you created a child you really do not get the luxury of not working. You have a child to support now so you should be working part time. Are your...

This action COULD also allow for a RO preventing the fetus from being removed from the state. Sure but unlikely since paternity has not been established and most courts will not order a DNA test in utero but yes the OP should see an attorney.

Probably not. If you want to move, move now before the baby is born. Right now he has no rights since paternity has not even been established. Now, since you moved away you may eventually be on the hook for helping out with transportation costs if this does eventually go to court after the baby...

Probably not too late. You can sure ask for it.

No, the other party just cannot change a custody order without going through the proper channels. She has to file a motion and have you served.

You might want to see if legal aid can help you. Nobody can tell if you are legally married or not. Did he ever divorce his first wife? You can certainly ask for cupervised visits but that does not mean you will get them. I really encourage you 2 to try and work something out. Document all these...

Children cannot be willed. Mom can put her preferance in her papers but most likely custody will go to Dad at her death. Dad should start seeking counsel to prepare. Once mom passes Dad should be able to get the child. The sister has no rights to the child at all and mom cannot legally bypass...

Lump sums are normally frowned upon big time and many courts might see that as a gift instead of CS. If you guys can work somethingout and have it approved through the courts then it probably will be ok.

I'm confused. Did you terminate your parental rights? If so the she has another father and you are no longer her legal dad. You have no rights at all to have her come live with you.

Was paternity ever established and does the child have a passport? You should file for full custody through the family court. Go down there and see if they have a family court fascilitator or call an attorney to see if they can help you.

What does your attorney intend on doing? You should petition the court for mom to be billed your legal fees since she is in contempt.

Why didn't you file in AZ? Maricopa county offers mediation for lost cost. Its conciliation services. Highly doubtful he will get custody since he moved out of state but you need to see if you qualify for legal aid or beg and borrow the money to see an attorney. I would try to argue that AZ...

I have no idea as we do not know what state you are in. If they can take your child without your permission then I'm sure they ca get legal documents too. Why did they take your child? For them to actually seize the child there had to have been some neglect or abuse taking place.

You are the father so its time to grow up and support the child. You do not get the option of only working 1 day a week. Time to find another job. Also if she truly is on drugs then you file for custody if you can prove mom is unfit. You also should set up a visitation schedule so you can see...
