    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication With Possesion Of Marijuana as a Juvenile?

    You don't specify what your age is currently, as well as whether or not this is your first offence? I believe all of those factors play a part.....especially the past history. You have a right to a court appointed attorney, or one through Legal Aid, that will assist you in finding out what...

    parental rights

    I honestly don't think it would be in your best interest to try it 'both' ways. I mean, it IS possible to establish paternity, require child support, and not have the father visit the child. BUT it's a tricky scenario as far as I know...... That said, he could request a paternity test, and...

    Bad father

    You do NOT have to allow visitation with this man if there is no order in place. do you feel that he has the will (and the capacity) to hire a lawyer and take it to court? If not, then don't worry about it.....but on a side note, I also wouldn't ask for child support. Let the father...

    mariage laws,...

    What is the age of consent in your state? You don't have to be an 'adult' in some states, just over the age of 16 I believe.....

    Can I do an audit on ex?

    Thank you. I do realize that when one is self employed, some years are better than others......however I know that this year was a good year (as was last year) because he was never home. (At least he 'professed' to be working?) Anyhow, I know that he was making quite alot while we were...

    visitation schedule change

    Is there any chance that you could discuss this with the other parent, or is he/she the type of person that believes this document is "written in stone"? If so, than I would seek the advice of your lawyer.

    Changing my childs last name

    My ex refused to allow me to change our son's last name (to my last name), so we went ahead and did it anyway, but it's not legal. Now his name is "my" last name on all of his school records, registrations, etc. etc. But it stipulates in the fine print, that it is a "also known as" name, not...

    Do I have sole custody?

    My ex b/f and I split 7 years ago, when our son was 3 years old. For the last 7 years, I have raised our son on my own. His father pays child support, but sees him physically (I tracked this) 15 days out of the last 365. I believe that in order to apply for shared or joint custody, you have...

    Can I do an audit on ex?

    Isn't there a method to have 'all' of the business' transactions exposed? all income declared, including employee wages, deductions, etc. etc? I thought that something like that would be mandatory for those that are self employed? Thanks!

    Can I do an audit on ex?

    Never have I heard of anything like a forensic accountant? Couldn't my lawyer just ask for all of his business records? Yikes, this sounds kind of complicated! I was wondering to myself, if he's paying his stay at home wife a 'wage' out of the business....which she could claim on income tax...

    HELP - How do you prove a childs residency?

    Any daycare/childcare receipts? Any mail with the child's name on it listed to your address? Perhaps school records with your address as the primary address? You can also get a letter written from your doctor, or someone neutral in a position of authority (school principal?) that know where...

    Child support modification - Income disclosure

    From what I know (and I'm not sure if the laws are different where you are) you are within every right to request the last 3 years worth of income tax, as a reassessment, to see what your ex has been making. There is also a law here that everything must be proportional. So if my ex was making...

    Can I do an audit on ex?

    I kind of assumed this (regarding past income tax records). There are child support tables in place, provincially in Canada, and that is what the amount is based on. They are the ones that are requesting this action take place, so I suppose my game plan is to just 'see' what comes my way and...

    Can I do an audit on ex?

    My son's father (we were never married) has sporadic visitation with his son, and has, for the last 7 years. (son is now 10). When we split, we had a legal agreement drawn up (that was many years ago) and the legal agreement was to be in place for one year. After that, we never had anything...
