Well, it's up to the mother whether or not the child still gets to see you. If she wants that, then there's nothing the biodad can do. Just like he can't stop the mother from letting the children visit with grandparents or other relatives. You are the child's siblings father so you will always...

Florida wont let you use the tape unless they knew they were being taped and acknowledged permission to being taped. Make sure you do pursue with the child abuse. The court may give supervised visits only but it's doubtful they would terminate the rights. Florida hardly ever does that. You could...

Your husband is lying and you would be charged with the crime as well and (like said above) if there are any children in the house, they would be taken away. Why don't you turn him in? He obviously doesn't care about what would happen to you if the police do find it there since he lied to you...

Yes, but if you turn over custody to the father then the court will make you pay child support whether you have a job or not. If you can't support yourself now, you certainly wont be able to support yourself and pay child support for the child. Have you tried getting food stamps and other...

If he cares about his child, he will probably see how bad this girl is eventually and leave her. Have you discussed your concerns with him and that you think this isn't the girl for him and hope he would find someone that would love your child? If you have a good relationship with the father it...

Believe me if that was allowed I would have had it done years ago with my ex's girlfriend. How old is the child? If the child can talk make sure you ask after every visit how the girlfriend treated the child and if she ever abuses the child in any way then you can try to have something done...

You need to hire an attorney asap to fight this. I would even ask for supervised visitation for the father on the grounds that he can't properly take care of the child. Doctors and other medical personnel can be asked to testify that they have never seen or talked to the father and to prove how...

If there's nothing in your papers about giving this to her then don't. If a judge wants to see your tax info he will have to request it. You don't have to give her any info that is not ordered by a court.

You really need to see an attorney on this. Because he's 15 the court might let him testify about the abuse and that he wants to live with you but you really need to talk to an attorney that deals with the family and custody. Sometimes they offer free consultations or just charge you for an hour.

Actually my lawyer and the judge found that my when my ex moved out was abandonment. He was still living in the area and occasionally seeing the kids. He moved out and didn't pay the bills and I wasn't working at the time so he abandoned us with no income. Most people, when they move out, have...

Most state laws now have a split down the middle approach. You will both get the house even if that means selling getting half the money. She's trying to con you into signing something before you know your rights. Don't fall for it. If she wants the divorce then ask the courts for a fair split...

How long has she been living back in Michigan? You should have stayed working in Florida and filed in Florida for the courts to bring the children back to Florida. If she hasn't been living in Michigan for 6 months, nothing can be done until you are both legal residence of Michigan. If it has...

Make sure you file for divorce first because if you leave the house and she files before you she can file that you abandoned her and the child. So either file before you leave or as soon as you leave. She can't kick you out and the police wont remove you either. They will tell her if she doesn't...

You are right. It doens't matter if you are in college or not. 18 you are an adult and you don't have to listen to what your father is telling you. I don't know why your father is telling you such stuff or what his motive is, but he's wrong.

Great! Glad it worked out for you. Good luck!
