QUESTIONS

  • Hello I have allowed my friend to move in on a temporary basis while she locates permanent housing without accepting rent.

  • I am currently 5 months pregnant and the baby's father hasn't really been involved at all. He's leaving for a couple of months (for some job) and won't be back until after the baby is born so he will definitely miss the birth. If he's not there to sign the birth certificate do I have to list him as the father on the certificate? Can I leave his name out and just put mine. He's not interested in being a part of the baby's life so is there any way I can get sole custody?
  • My brother does not have custody of his five-year-old daughter and the mother of his child has no intention of allowing him to see the daughter. What rights does he have? Can't he just sue for joint custody? ebonee
