However, by statute you must prove to the court that the move is in the best interests of the child. So, just because it doesn't address relocation in your court orders, state statute dictates that you must receive permission from the court. Disrupting the noncustodial parent's visitation is...

I have NO idea why that poster quoted my response.... it had nothing to do with her/his response. :confused: Not surprising, though. :rolleyes: Regarding the name change, you WILL have to notify the father of your intentions, and he WILL have the opportunity to object if paternity has been...

I believe that usually, if both parties disagree, there will be a hearing to determine the validity of the petitions. I suppose the case proceeds to trial if it can't be resolved during the hearing.

I'm curious how you managed to get divorced so quickly if you began proceedings after he left you in February. Did you have a lawyer? Also, how was the agreement to repay for bills worded?

I believe all records from rehab and the halfway house are covered by HIPAA, which means you will not be able to access that information without permission from the father of the baby. I don't know how you know about the father's bipolar episode or the medical issues of the woman who owns the...

If you don't have a lawyer, you need one. Not because a lawyer will get this info into court, but instead will prevent you from making the mistake of bringing all this up in court. You're trying to get a relocation modification, right? Your daughter has been visiting her father and...

I hear the high-pitched laughter of a troll. ;) (Google is my friend.)

Depending on the value of the property, there may be nothing left to distribute, sell, or sign over after the probate process. The back taxes and medical bills will be paid before any assets are distributed to the heirs.

Given our real estate climate right now, even if the house was put on the market, it may not sell for a year or more! Does the will state that the house MUST be listed for sale after 12 months? If not, then I don't see why you couldn't do as you suggest as long as your siblings agree...

Depending on your daughter's age, I don't really see the problem, especially if the in-laws will be sleeping in the living room. In some ways, it could be a good thing for your daughter. She'll have more people to buffer the newness and she'll have other kids to interact with.

Huh... A negative rep because I told you to file a police report? Or is it because I won't be sucked into your quest for a lawsuit for something that doesn't really seem to have bothered you too much since you never alerted the police or school officials? Well, good luck. I think...

Others may have different opinions, but I would get a lawyer first.

Yes, file a police report.

You posted under criminal law, so can we assume that you have reported all of this to the police? Can we also assume that you reported it to the school board?

Did the father of the baby sign the AOP? Does he have court ordered visitation to see the child every weekend for 5 hours? If so, it's going to be hard to contest paternity after a year. He'll need a lawyer. I find it odd that he hasn't formed a bond with his daughter after nearly a year...

Just to be sure.... The child is your husband's, right? If not, the answer is different.

Where do you see this? Did you read the post directly above yours? And the first post? I admit it's unclear, but OP says she has always lived in New York, and implies that she has always had custody of the child. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: ETA: Just one more clarification...

Your post is a little confusing. We can't tell if the orders for custody, visitation, transportation, and child support came out of Florida or New York. Nor is it clear whether your daughter always lived with you in New York, if her father also lived there at one time, or whatever? I think...

I'm not sure how you've tried to contact him, but in order to change their names without his permission, you will have to notify him of the court hearing "by publication". To do that, you'll have to place ads in newspapers in his last known locality/localities. There a length of time...

Are you referring to the FAFSA requirement that your financials must be included in the application for financial aid? If so, generally a student is not considered independent, and cannot file without parental financial information, until the student is 24. There are exceptions if the student...
