I believe you have to file in the county the child lives in. California has a very helpful website for its courts. They also have family law facilitators in many courthouses. You'll get a definitive answer there. http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/

Even with a court order, you cannot force the mother to take the 16 year old. Visitation is a right, not an obligation. I'm a little shocked that there is no custody order in place. If the father wants to establish custody through the courts, he can probably find the forms online through the...

He can file, but it's not likely that he can get primary custody if you've been the primary caretaker. He WILL get visitation and possibly joint legal custody of the child if he files.

I don't know if you can file, but I tend to doubt it. However, you've got nothing to lose, other than filing fees, by trying.

Not much you can do about the way CPS screens for adoptions, although it wouldn't hurt to consult an attorney. You might want to post this in the Criminal Law forum to see if anyone knows whether or not the arrest can be expunged. If you do post there, include the name of your state.

What exactly do you want? I checked your other threads, and each of them received replies. Are you waiting for someone to tell you that you're not a bad mother for leaving your son with his father? Okay then, with the info you've provided, I would say that you're not a bad mother. However, this...

When you title your thread "Venting" what do you expect? Feel free to vent, but many will not bother to read 'venting' as there is no expectation of a need for advice.

OP has only worked in her current district for 2 years. Also, education law in most states allows termination due to behavior that affects or risks district operations. If her phone calls impeded instruction, then they affected her job performance, and subsequently affected the district. She...

I suppose it could, but I don't think she has much of a chance of avoiding a termination if the district follows through. If she did ask for union representation, then Weingarten might give her some protection, but I don't think she requested it. She said they didn't offer it. The bottom...

First off, let me tell you that they CAN terminate you, as long as they have cause. Fraud is certainly one justifiable cause. Abuse of instructional time is another. Your contract can be found null and void if you have violated any of its terms or committed an illegal act. I'm sorry, but it...

Many California courts have a family law facilitator at the courthouse who can help you with this. http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/lowcost/qa-flf.htm I agree that the visitation plan is too vague. Summer is a school break. Did you intend that your child will visit her mother all...

Gee, thanks, dee_dub! :blush

Many of the volunteers on this site are not lawyers, but do know how to use google, how to read, and can offer guidance and help. That's why. If you only want a lawyer to answer, then say that in your post. You did. You said, "I was married..." If you are still married, then you should have...

Yes, the visitation is still valid until one of you requests a modification.

Not really sure what you're looking for, but if you're already divorced, what else do you want?

Have your lawyer write a letter requesting (demanding?) the documents from her. She has no rights to those documents. They have nothing to do with joint legal custody. ETA: Please delete your other threads.

No repercussions, but do you really think she'll fall for that? What will you do when she asks to see the videotape?

I don't understand what you're asking or what you want to know. However, whatever you want, it depends on your state and on your parents court order.

Do as your parents say. Get a lawyer.

You can find the child support worksheets here: http://www.kscourts.org/rules-procedures-forms/Child-Support-Guidelines/default.asp When you go through the worksheets, keep in mind that you may be imputed an income at minimum wage. You will probably be entitled to spousal maintenance, but it...
