Is it possible for him to take your daughter? Yes. Is it legal? No, you could call the police and report an abduction. The man is a "legal stranger" at this point with no more rights to your daughter than I have. His complaint about your same sex relationship is unlikely to gain much...

Is he demanding the arrearage be repaid within the 30 days? He can agree to a settlement of the arrearage if he chooses, then the agreement would be filed with the court. He could, theoretically, agree that a lower amount would be considered payment in full. If he wants every penny, the court...

The state will warn the employer of their legal obligations to withhold for CS and be able to tell you what the fines are for non-compliance.

I think she waited too long to file, your son is an adult. Support orders for non-disabled adults are rarely ordered. You'll have to respond to avoid a default order, but a copy of your son's birth certificate may be all the response that's needed. A quick (and usually free) call to a local...

Removal of parental rights is obtained in much more dire situations than what you've described. Overt child abuse, chronic and severe drug addiction, etc. He's not legally obligated to visit, but as custodial parent you are obligated to follow the most current parenting plan and make your...

Sure she could. So could he. If they wanted to divorce, your son could file for custody or visitation. Because they've only been in Oregon for a few weeks, she won't be required to return, but your son would be free to follow her back to Georgia. If they do divorce, terms could be written...

Dad could have had parental rights removed and still be obligated to pay CS. The document removing dad's rights should be public information and available to obtain. How long have you been married to the mother? Why is it more important to change the child's name than for mom to establish...

To whom are you to pay the arrearage?

Aren't you the one that limited her contact with her dad by moving away? Why remove her from the rest of her family because you wanted to move?

You haven't given us enough information to know how to help you. More details please, such as what were the GAL's findings with regards to medical neglect?

If you go into court sounding like you want to punish dad for "abandoning" you by limiting contact, it won't go well. Judges tend to favor parents who provide primary care AND who facilitate the other parent's involvement when deciding on where the child will primarily reside. Something much...

Yes, you'll be required to legally serve him with the paperwork. Yes, you'll need to appear before the judge. If your husband chooses to appear, he can, if not, the judge may enter a ruling without his input.

Sounds like it's time to serve her with paperwork requiring her to appear on contempt of court violations. It is possible for your husband to complete these forms and have her served without an attorney, but likely best to have the attorney at least review the documents.

To obtain custody and/or child support, you must file for it at county court. The clerks office can guide you to the paperwork you need and there may be additional services available to you. If your county court has a website, you may find additional resources there as well.

Bring your documentation into court with you and steel yourself for a long road ahead. My advice is to be as boring as possible when dealing with him. Monotone without being overly obvious, agreeable without appearing weak, that sort of thing. Keep conversations very brief, professional and...

At this point, your husband has equal rights to the child and could come and take him at any point. You could try for sole physical custody, you're likely to get it as you've been the primary caretaker. (How long has this been the case?) You're unlikely to exclude him completely from having a...

>>Is there anyway I can do anything without having to have a attorney to represent me in everything I do. << Yes. Go to your local courthouse for assistance. They may have a website that would prove helpful as well. If you're appealing the decision, you'll have to act quickly. The clerk can...

She can be served with papers requiring her to appear in court and resume visits. He doesn't need an attorney to draw up the papers but might need a PI if you don't know where she is. The PI might agree to serve her with the papers when they found her. If you know where she is, you'd need a...

You're saying that Mom is voluntarily shortening or eliminating the visits, so document that and her reasons and your observations. You may want to sit down with mom and talk about an agreed modification of the parenting schedule, then filing it with the court. If mom pushes the issue and...

You read through the ENTIRE document and nowhere is the time frame of the first "phase" mentioned? I'd check again. I suspect it has to do with a certain period of time of shorter visits because of 1. The age of the kids or 2. A long separation between the kids and the visiting parent...
