Is your mother paying for your college? Legally your mother doesn't have to pay for you to go to college, so if you sue her don't you think that would upset her and she would stop paying your tuition if she is paying it? A lot of parents charge their children rent once they have turned 18 and...

If you have a child together you will have to file for divorce and it is best that you have a lawyer so you are not taken advantage of especially when a child is involved. She left and left the child with you. I guess you're saying that she is not around the child and is doing her own thing. You...

Unfortunately this happens a lot. One parent leaves and makes a deal with the other parent because it's in the best interest of the child and the other parent can claim you abandoned the child. Does the father have a job? Surely he is out of the house as well. If you could work something out...

I would think your parents could keep you from living somewhere else if they want to. I would try to go to a relative who you trust and tell them what is going on and ask them if you could live with them. Maybe if you have someone else behind you, your parents would leave you alone. It's a shame...

Have you consulted with a lawyer? Many of them give free consultations and can tell you what you can do and what it will cost. Since he has remarried and is still married to you he is committing puligamy and that is against the law. Since he has remarried, you might be able to file on the...

A lot of judges wont send them to jail unless they owe a large amount and even then they wont. My ex owes $17,000 and has never been put in jail for not paying. All you can do is request that he be put in jail and see what the judge says. In the child support handbook it states that the Child...

Isn't there anyone around that can help you instead of everyone listening to what your parents say? Keep looking for help. It takes money to get emancipated and that will take too long. You have to find help right now. I don't know how to get these people to listen to you. I assume you have gone...

Usually child support ends when the child turns 18 and has graduated from high school. She will get half of his pension if that is what it states in the divorce papers. That has nothing to do with the children though. That is usually what the wife gets in a divorce settlement. The father is...

Yes as said above, if this agreement is not signed by a judge then it is not legal. If that's the case then go to your local police department and tell them that she wont let you have your child and ask if an officer can go with you to pick the child up. If it is legal and signed by a judge then...

I assume you are going back to court to settle this. The courts base child support on the father and mother's income. It's a complicated system and usually they wont tell you how they figure it out. He has to have proof of his income and that it has been lowered to be able to change his child...

Everything is final when it comes to assets once the judge has signed the papers. Are the credit cards in her name alone or both names? If the cards are in her name alone then she is responsible for the debts no matter what a judge says. The credit card companies say they don't care who a...

Child support is based on your job and you can file for a reduction or change if you have a change in circumstances. If you don't have a job they figure the child support at you making minimum wage. Usually though, the other side can argue that you are capable of making a certain amount and the...

You definitely have to hire a lawyer and a good one. I have seen this in many cases and sometimes they let the grandparent keep the child. It's very hard to get back custody once you've signed it over to someone else. Good luck.

Under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 an acknowledgment of paternity becomes a finding of paternity unless the man who signed the acknowledgment denies that he is the father within 60 days. Usually once you have acknowledged you are the father with or without a...

You may want to take the child to child services so he can tell them that his father hits him. They may find out if other abuse is going on too. Again they won't keep the father from visiting but they may help you get supervised visitation for a little while. A friend's husband was convicted of...

Unfortunately if you go to court they will grant him visitation with the child and it wont matter if he does drugs, etc... You can't do anything about getting child support unless you go to court or the child support office and again if you do that he will get visitation. If you feel that he is...

Do you mean joint custody as in he would get the child half of the year and she would get the child the other half? I would think it would be hard to get that since she already has sole custody. If you mean shared custody where she is still the primary place of residence but the father would...

She is not allowed to change the visitation schedule whenever she wants to. The law is very firm on that. She's not allowed to make other plans when it is the father's visit weekend or day. The visit can only be changed if the child is sick and then the father can make up that visit within 45...

Sometimes they will make adjustments to the child support payment a person makes and make them pay for day care and health insurance. My husband had to have health insurance on his children and pay child support until they turned 18. As far as the day care goes, I think they sometimes have to...

It's been my understanding that a separation must be filed with the court before the time starts on it. I'm sure it doesn't matter where you live during the separation but it has to be filed and signed by a judge to legally count as a separation. Wow-2 years. I've heard of a 6 month separation...
