If he has a standard order of visitation that does not specify that he cannot remove the child from the jurisdiction then he can do whatever he wishes during his parental visitation time. Just as he can't tell you how to spend your vacation, you can't tell him how to spend his. You can request...

Have you at least filed a police report with your local jurisdiction to start the documentation process?

I wanted to add that you have to expect the child to not understand what is going on. Like I said, you are a virtual stranger to her. If there is any way to get Mom to bring her to a "neutral" meeting place such as McDonald's for the exchange, it would be MUCH easier than trying to pick the...

Yes yes yes Absolutely! A child cannot "refuse visitation". It's your right! Fight for it!!! You may have to go through a period of "introduction" for lack of a better term. Basically, they would be short periods of visitations (perhaps only hours) just to get your daughter used to the idea...

Your original questions: So my questions are: Can he legally claim unemployment in a case like that even thought he probably already excepted the job? Does he have any right to my mother's inheritance? My mother is entitled to some of the money if his investment in Asia pays off, is there any...

You stated that you are 20 years old but you don't state how old your sister is. If your sister is still a minor, then certain rules apply dependent upon the state of jurisdiction of the divorce (you don't specify--so no one can really give you any legitimate information). There would also be...

I need a clapping smilie...refusedtostop is spot-on! It goes to the adage, you divorce each other, not your children. I've purposely not posted in response to certain *posters* because I don't feed trolls :D

Some questions not addressed... Some questions that I haven't seen asked about this situation though that may make a difference in the outcome... How old was the neighbor that your 4 year old was playing with? Was this other child old enough to be consider a "babysitter" (some states 10...

Sorry, Just saw this In a nutshell, NO. There is already an existing order for wage withholding based on his current income. I have no idea how she will react about your impending nuptual however, so it is always better to err on the "safe" side. Your home and other "real" assets that are...

One question... What is the "age of majority" in your particular state?

Most likely he would get the same judge, but that's not always a bad thing. Having the same judge means that there is a continuity in the case (familiarity if you will). First, I'm not trying to be harsh when I say this, but your husband's priority should have been getting to court (he...

My first question is: Is he drawing unemployment benefits? If not, why not? And has he had ANY employment for the last year since the layoff? And again, if not, why not?

Normal educational and daily living expenses are considered covered in a child support order. IF however you are talking about the parent wishing to have the child attend a private institution or something along those lines where additional expenses (tuition, books, uniforms) would be...

Go ahead and file a petition through the court for an order of standard visitation. It is not your responsibility to 1) explain it to her, or 2) make sure she has an attorney if she needs one. If she cannot understand, she will need to either figure it out on her own or hire an attorney to...

Not to take you away from this wonderful board or the wonderful information you can get here, but I would also suggest that you look here at this site: http://www.deltabravo.net/custody/ This is a wonderful source of information, and there you find not only general information but also...
