    Visitaion Rights

    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...

    termination of right/abuse and neglect

    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...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication husband cultivates marijuana - HELP!

    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...

    giving up parental rights

    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...

    Visitation Rights/ Fathers Girlfriend

    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...

    Visitation Rights/ Fathers Girlfriend

    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...

    Terminally ill child, legal custody

    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...

    Ex-wife requesting copy of tax return...can she?

    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.

    Custody of my Brother??

    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.

    URGENT: Need help

    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...

    Wife wants me to leave, i do not

    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...

    Father wants to keep his kids

    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...

    URGENT: Need help

    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...

    If I'm 18 and in school do Ineed to be emancipated still?

    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.
