Was CPS involved in awarding custody to you?

If she is married, then the legal father of her baby is her husband. He doesn't even have to sign the birth certificate to be declared the legal father. The law in most, if not all, states is that any child born during marriage is a child of the marriage. I doubt that you would have any...

Has temporary guardianship been court ordered?

If you never brought the visitation issue to court, then you have no recourse now after 16 years. There really isn't anything fishy about her offer with regard to terminating your parental rights. If you had agreed, then legally you would no longer owe her anything but arrears. Presumably...

Is this your homework? If so, you should do it yourself. Surely, you know how to find the answers. If you don't, here is the link: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs.asp

Junior, you need to stop. You received the legally correct answer in the very first response, but you continued to argue and even used the f word. That's not allowed on this forum. You need to see a lawyer, which was also advised in the very first response. I assume you live in Texas. Texas...

How is the divorce decree worded? BTW, this is an issue between your husband and his ex. You have no legal standing, and no legal right to question the document.

If the father is listed on the birth certificate, then she must have a court order stating that she has sole legal custody in order to get a passport for her child without the father's signature.

I don't believe that was unethical. Maybe he really thinks you will access his information for your own benefit. I think he has a right to insure that you don't. BTW, I'm not suggesting that you would, I'm only looking at the situation from both sides. Were you fired or demoted as a result?

They're probably referring to the Dependency Review Form, which should be available through the school. However, it will still be difficult for him to get independent status for FAFSA purposes. A sample form from another university, as well as additional info is here...

Just to clarify here.... The ONLY person in this thread who downgraded a stepmom was 'motheringa' and her post was a result of a similarly negative post by this OP in motheringa's thread. None of the other posters mentioned stepmoms in a negative way. It is outlandish to me that the...

I don't really think you have anything to worry about regarding the sleeping arrangements. The dad may get shared placement, but that decision most likely will not be based on the number of bedrooms you have. Also, shared placement doesn't necessarily mean he won't have to pay any child...

If you and your wife can't agree, then you will probably have to see a mediator or a judge. Check your parenting agreement to see if it tells how you are to make decisions in the event of an impasse.

I assume that you have joint legal custody. Who is the primary residential parent? Would custody have to change in order for your daughter to attend the non-local school? Does your daughter have a preference?

If your son has muscular dystrophy or some other condition that requires daily home exercises, then you should absolutely modify your visitation order. Your ex can be ordered to provide the exercise, and if he doesn't, then he will be in contempt. Your son's doctor's diagnosis and the schedule...

He is already emancipated for legal purposes; however, for FAFSA purposes, he will not be considered financially emancipated until he is 24. There are very few exceptions to this, and there is nothing in your post to suggest that your friend can qualify. The school counselors were mistaken...

Are you saying that Mary failed to pay the mortgage, insurance, and taxes when they were due? How much were the closing costs, and how much does she owe you?

Is the letter dated and signed? Can you prove it's from her? Does it mention her income? Unless it's that specific, it may be worthless in court; however, you can include it if you wish. Why not use the work phone to find out where she works, and get your proof of employment that way?

Although I think that's completely ridiculous, I looked anyway. I can't find anything in WI code that dictates sleeping arrangements for siblings other than those in foster care. That's not the case in your situation, so I'm sure your STBX is blowing smoke. I doubt that you will be required...
