    Phone Communication - Bad or Good Move?

    Well, I wouldn't wait. I would send an email today stating that you've reconsidered. Instead of expecting them to call, you would like to set up a schedule so that you can be assured of speaking to your daughter on a regular basis. You can suggest days and times, and ask if that's convenient for...

    Criminal Trials, Hearings is this Double Jeopardy?

    Since your friend was not previously tried for the original offense, there is no double jeopardy. Also, the right to a speedy trial is to insure that defendents are not incarcerated for long periods of time before brought to trial. That is not the case in your friend's situation.

    Divorce

    Not really. She has as much right to be there as you do until you file for divorce. At that time, you may be able to request a restraining order to keep her out of the marital home, or to keep the boyfriend away.

    Financial Support

    You can ask for it, but it is highly unlikely that it will be awarded. Your state laws, as well as other factors in your situation, will determine whether or not you will receive it. The father of your child should provide child support. The stepfather has no legal responsibility to do so.

    Phone Communication - Bad or Good Move?

    I don't think it was a good move, and I would continue to pursue phone contact with your daughter, regardless of the email you sent. I don't believe that the mother will be expected to initiate phone contact in order to facilitate the father-daughter relationship. She is/will be expected to...

    What are my legal rights with Guardianship of a minor

    Was your guardianship filed in court? Temporary guardianship usually doesn't last for more than one year. Yours lasts for 18 years? Are you sure it's 'temporary'?

    husbands nephew

    How old is the girl and how old is your nephew? Did the girl's mother approve of her move to your house? To get guardianship or power of attorney, you will most likely need the girl's mother's cooperation. Why doesn't her mother want her in school?

    Are they still married?

    Unless your parents got a divorce, they are still married. Any subsequent marriages are/were invalid. Is it possible that your father divorced in Mexico? If your mother filed for child support at any time before the children reached the age of majority (18 for most states), then she can still...

    child support

    Do you mean that he threatens to go to court for custody? If so, he probably will not get primary custody unless he can prove that you are unfit. Even if you return the money, he can still go to court for visitation rights and possibly joint legal and physical custody. I wouldn't...

    Child Custody with a relative

    Did you file the guardianship papers in court? If not, then you should. Custody papers shouldn't be necessary, however your relative is entitled to child support through the courts if she has legal guardianship. You should probably get an attorney in CO to handle this for you.

    Divorce in NJ & Child Support %

    New Jersey uses an income-shares model in calculating child support, so it is impossible to tell you what you will pay without knowing your income, your wife's income, etc. You can get an idea by checking the following links: http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/csguide/index.htm...

    Maintenance in NY

    If you make 200K and she makes 150K, then maybe not. If you make 75K and she makes 25K, then probably yes. Other factors are considered in the decision to award maintenance as well.

    Can a CT court have jurisdiction over a UK resident?

    Which is it? I'm beginning to believe there's a lot more to this story which will negatively affect your chances of prevailing in ANY court action.

    Can a CT court have jurisdiction over a UK resident?

    Yes there is, and here's a link to it: http://www.officialsolicitor.gov.uk/os/remo_faqs.htm Also, it would be helpful to the volunteers here if you would keep all of your questions in the same thread since they are all related. This question could have been answered more efficiently in...

    Can the court modify a non-modifiable alimony decree?

    When I say it's possible, I mean that the CT court reserves the right to modify. That doesn't mean they will do it. In fact, they will most likely be reluctant to change the order unless you can argue that an error was made in the original order. Your illness and its effect on your income are...
