QUESTIONS

  • The father of my children had sole custody, and he committed suicide. I am wondering if I need to file for custody or if it automatically reverts to the mother. The children are with me, and have been since the incident. i have the death certificate and have filed at the social security office. I just feel funny not having anything that says I have custody. Should I file a modification or is it a waste of time?
  • My son is 5 years old. I have sole custody. I read the self service paperwork and it says I have to notify the other parent or show "order terminating parental rights of the other parent."

Now he is saying i owe him rent for this month, i dont feel i should have to pay it, i gave him 1800$ FOR RENT. Hes threatening to take me to court, can he evict me for this?'
  • If there is a broken sprinkler valve, are we, the tenant, responsible for fixing this or the landlord? I have requested the landlord to fix it but they are saying it is our responsibility. It was given to us in working condition but it has broken. We have lived here for almost 2 years now. Thank you!

I was injured in combat in 2007 and later received an active medical retirement. I do receive some of my compensation from va with the remainder coming from DOD. My spouse who i married in 1999 is wanting my military retirement but it seems im the one with medical issues for life and just doesnt seem to be right. I havent found anything specific to medical retirements and am looking for guidance. Thank you
