It largely depends on what state but yes if there is suspicion that one parent is using drugs the courts can certainly request a drug test it largely depends on the court but most courts nowadays use a hair sample. I have no idea on the paternity test, the cost could be split between the parents.

I have a feeling that this is going to be an argument over whether this was an engagement ring. If he did not propose then its going to be hard for him to prove it was an engagement ring.

Highly unlikely a court would give Dad custody since he has no realtionship with the child at all.

I agree, as a mom I would NEVER leave my child. You can start over in your area and not worry about abandonment or losing custody but if you move out of state you'll likely never get primary custody and you'll be on the hook for all transportation expenses. If LA is the only place you honestly...

Just because you have alot of kids does not mean you are unfit. Are all of these kids by different dads? I admit, this potentially sounds like a social services disaster and most women that do have alot of kids by different dads, are not fit parents. Not to say you are not one though. If you...

your story is a bit suspicious because honestly a woman with a newborn baby should not be in a motel room by herself, driving a van not registered at the hotel, and there is drug pipes in the car. As a mom you have a responsibility to know who you are friends are. If they are using serious drugs...

something similar happened to my father. He was being pressured into quitting and being treated really bad. The owner of the company did not want him around so the goal was to force my dad to quit so they would not have to pay UE. He did not quit and they wound up firing him but called it a...

OK does not even recognize common law unless it was created BEFORE 1998 and even then it is on a limited basis. You guys were not common law it appears. Common law means that you both recognize each other as being husband and wife. Since this is not the case, you do not owe her anything and do...

If the warranty was outside of 30 days you are out of luck. They are not obligated to fix it or return it. You should have had a backup system in place so you don't lose your data.

I would start by filing a complaint with the state bar.

What makes you think you can give up your rights? If you were asked to take a paternity test then most likely child support is going to be filed, unless the mother is remarried and wants her husband to adopt. That is the only way you can terminate rights.

The big question is, was this an engagement ring? Did he propose? If he did he is entitled to the ring back. If he didn't then it is a gift and yours to keep most likely. He can always sue you regardless but a court will determine if you owe him.

The problem you have is proving the dent happened while at the shop. You can sue them in small claims, this is not a criminal issue but the burden of proof is on you.

we have no idea without seeing the contract. You really should show the contract to an employment law attorney. You also might want to ask him about the severence.

As an aunt you have ZERO rights to visitation, especially under this circumstance. Your demands are unreasonable and it is no wonder mom wants nothing to do with you. You will get laughed out of the courtroom if you ask for visitation and demand mom bring the child to you. That is totally...

Sure you can file for divorce and ask for alimony. No guarantee you'll get it but you can ask.

The fact you have not seen the kids in so long, regardless of reasons, is a factor here. You could have taken steps to locate mom. If you have an attorney talk to them but chances are the courts are going to give you visitation, not custody. If you can PROVE to the courts mom hid the kids from...

If you want custody you need to file for it but you will have to get Dad to agree to let you move out of state or you go to court and battle it out. Full custody does not mean you can move, that is an entirely different matter you will have to bring up. If you are allowed to move, plan on paying...

If you yourself do not celebrate the holidays, when why would you get visitation on a religious holiday? Sorry but it does not make sense. If the child celebrates Christmas, do you think the child should be deprived of Christmas so you can have visits? You married a woman that does not celebrate...

You will not gain any points in court by refusing contact. That is playing games and it is not in the kids best interest to stop contact just because you are not getting support. I would be the bigger person here and continue to allow visits. Unless there is a court order specifically giving you...
