I think a lot of court houses also have waivers or other ways to assist people with little financial resources, or if it would create a hardship. You should speak to your local court to learn more. If nothing else, perhaps a payment plan. I don't see a ruling against you based on your ability...

It would appear that you have two options. 1) Pay the money to fight it (still may lose). 2) The father will get joint custody. As far as the girlfriend goes, I don't see the threat based on the information provided. Assuming the Judge handling the case now doesn't either. Generally, the...

Changed, even.

It is hard to say without seeing the language. However, if Mom agrees to the visit, then it seems to be fine without Mom approving every stop they make or place they visit.

HE should file a petition to change it. Also, should keep paying the ordered amount until the ordered amount is changes.

It is impossible to predict such a thing.

If there is a lawyer working on it already, then not much else to do, except wait for them to do their job. If the police seen proof of the abuse, then why was CPS not brought in by the police to investigate or remove the child? Something just doesn't add up to me. Maybe it is just me, who knows!

With all due respect, OP, you need to get rid of the word "we" and realize you are a legal stranger. The father should have hired a lawyer to TRY to prevent the original move, or at least got a court hearing for a judge to decide if the move was in the child's best interest. Frankly, I don't...

It may seem unfair, but that is because it is unfair to the CHILDREN first and foremost. The kicker is that if the Custodial parent refuses to allow the visits as set out in the court order, they could be found in contempt. Likewise though, if the noncustodial parent refuses to return the...

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds like you are saying the one party is refusing to exercise their visitation for the summer??? If that is the case, there is nothing to do. Court ordered visitation establishes the right to visit, but doesn't make the visit mandatory to take by the...

Frankly, your daughter should seek help from an attorney. I know I'm not really offering much help or advice, but it seems like the best idea.

First, it is unlikely the OP will ever be back to see your post. Second, they do not ignore court orders, so something to what you say is missing there. Last, more information is missing because I have never heard of someone getting a court appointed attorney unless criminal charges are involved.

I am assuming that he is getting ready to finish high school in a matter of weeks, so around the same time he turns 18. So the child support should stop for his portion. Your biggest problem is that it will be over and done before the court could get to your case. Besides waiting a month...

He will be a legal adult before you could make it through court even if you were not rejected. Child support will stop once the child turns 18 OR graduates depending on when each happens. Of course this is assuming you are not in arrears. Once he is 18, he can chose to live anywhere he...

Sometimes law schools will offer up students that can point you in the right direction. Obviously the students can not do more than that, but could be helpful to check into it at least if there is a local law school close to you. You could also try to find a couple lawyers who offer free...

I am pretty sure no one needs you to reply to a post that is over THREE years old. Please exercise more common sense if you wish to reply to threads. Thank you!

Without a court order you do not have to do anything. Your living arrangements seem to be just fine and your child well taken care of, so no worries there. Who created the distance? That could be key in deciding who foots the bill and/or time for transportation once visitation is ordered.

He would not win a libel case against you because you would be informing a third party of something that you reasonably believe to be true. HOWEVER, you would have to be an idiot to provoke him to terrorize you all over again. May end a lot worse for you next time! If he isn't harassing you...

OP, you do have one long-shot option. If you can convince the child's mom and father to to agree to guardianship or custody to go to you, it can be done. Outside of that, you have no chance.

First, you can not ask the court to do anything on this matter. You, like myself with my stepdaughter, are a legal stranger. Your wife would have to show why it is in the children's interest to be moved. If it was allowed by the courts, your wife would likely be responsible for all...
