    Dont know what to do!!!

    Kids always suffer when this happens. Your husband was drunk and beating you in fron tof the kids so it is normal that the kids be removed from what was a dangerous situation. You have to keep in contact with the case worker and follow the plan that is just how it is. When is the next court...

    please...I really need help for my dad

    Your father needs to see an attorney and prove you were never in your moms care. This still does not mean your dad does not owe money. It sounds like neither parents supported their kids. Dad can maybe have the CS arrears paid to the grandparents but what is the reason your grandparents never...

    What can I do?

    You need to see an attorney and file for custody. If you can prove it is in the kids best interest you have a shot. What state are you in? You might want to google your states child support guidelines. If you honestly believe your children are in danger then you need to get them out of the...

    Dont know what to do!!!

    You will not get your kids back until you follow and complete the case plan. It is a slow process. They are in no rush to return the kids back to an unstable/neglectful situation. Keep doing what you are told to do and evnetually there will be a reunification process.

You might want to google a fathers rights group in TX to see if they can give you some guidance but most courts have a family court fascilitator or...

    Leaving the state

    You do not get to decide though what happnes to the child, the court does. Mom has a GREAT case for custody over your wife, like it or not. You'll have to go to court over it.

    Common Law marriage

    How can you just learn that your common law husband has died? If you never officially got a divorce, you were not common law married. Regardless if you were married to him or not, if you have a child together and paternity was established, you should still qualify for SS benefits. It appears...

    Need Help

    If your husband is going to stay with you and be a father to that baby then that is great. If he prefers not to know the truth then that is up to him. Hope and pray he treats the baby good, not all husbands who may not be the father do. Also he needs to know that if your marriage does end, he...

    Leaving the state

    Mom has rights for custody. Your wife does not. It makes no sense for you to leave the state and leave the child with your wife, over the mother. So yes mom has grounds for custody. If you cannot get mom to agree to let you take the child then you have to go to coourt and battle it out or give...

    How can someone become a foster parent for a runaway?

    Who were you molested by and did you report it? You cannot just run away and have your friends dad be your foster dad. You are not a ward of the state. The people you are staying with can be charged with a crime. They legally cannot keep you. You cannot just run away to make this happen. If...

    In most states your husband is the legal father anyways. Unless paternity gets legally disputed, this other man has no rights at all.

    He does not get to decide if he wants to go or not. You have to comply with the decree or you can be held in contempt. If you want to risk the contempt that is your choice.

    Marriage under false pretence?

    If you can prove fraud you might be able to get an annulment but I am unclear if you are already divorced or not? Annulments are usually for short term marriages with no kids and sometimes they are a bigger hassle than getting a divorce.

    Niece wants to be readopted by her biological father

    The step-father is the legal father. This adoption cannot happen without his consent. Kids are not like pets they just cannot go back and forth. Bio dad should have never terminated his rights. Bio dad has no rights here at all if his rights were terminated. She is an adult in 2 years anyways...

    any help would be great

    It does not sound like neglect to me. If you want custody or more visitation then you go to court and ask for it. I doubt you will be granted an emergency motion. The baby does not sound like she is in any danger. you have the burden of proving neglect. Now what you can d is ask for first right...

    Child/Alimony Support

    You probably cannot receive back support if he is incarcerated sincehe has no means to pay. you can file for support when he gets out but I would not count on getting much from him. I doubt he will be able to secure great employment just getting out of prison. Dad can also file for visitation...
