Very concise schedules but cn only work with parents that either have prior relations with children, have average hostilites and are not out of state or parents on a mutual communication for children.

QUESTIONS

  • I want to leave the state and go to Nevada with my daughter but her dad tells me it’s illegal and if I do it I’ll be in trouble. Is this true? We were never married, he is on her birth certificate.
  • I live in the state of michigan. I have an 18 month old little boy and my ex boyfriend is trying to take custody of him from me. I have had my son for the last 14 months on my own and live with my boyfriend in michigan. I have court and cant go to arizona due to the fact I just had a new baby. I am trying to file a telephonic appearance form but have not been able to locate the forms I need to file. this is the only thing standing between custody of my son and me showing up.
  • Can my ex husband take me back to court for custody or joint custody of our son if me and my boyfriend of a year move in together? i have sole custody right now and he has visitation...untill the child is two years of age then he gets him every other weekend
  • I am a father of a 5 year old and my ex is using meth, she's denying it now, but the signs are there and my ex mother inlaw has asked me to get full custody. How can I get emergency custody of my child?
  • My ex-girlfriend and I obviously separated and have not done any legal custody paperwork with our (she is the mother) two children (ages 3 and 1). The boys constantly stay at the house that I own and never go to their mothers. She only sees them at my house for the 40 hours that I work per week and that is it. Their addresses (including the mother's mail) all come to the house that I own. She has now grown upset and wants to take the children to some long distant relative in Colorado just because she is angry. I do have the 3 year old enrolled in a local Prescott Valley school as well.
  • My wife and I weren't married when our first two children were born, shortly after the second we married now we are divorcing my name is on the birth certificates and they carry my last name she isn't letting me have them can u tell me how much rights I have to visitation
  • can a child over 13 decide what parent will get custody over them?
  • I recently lost my son to my girlfriend she called the cops on me and took my son we were having a lot of problems, but she didn't want to worked them out ,now that she's left she has a tempted to let my son come over so I can see him ,but she keeps putting it off and she won't pick up the phone to set up another day so I can see my son ,but she won't pick up the phone what rights do I have as a father that loves his son so much and she doesn't care that I see my son I found out while she was living with me she was cheating all this time, it's not right that she's keeping my son from me.
  • A judge awarded the other parent joint legal decision making and parenting time. Within the last 4 mths he has seen her a total of 3 weeks. I filed to set aside the judge's ruling and got denied. I tried to modify child support and got denied. I don't know what else to do. I have documents printed out to providing evidence of my claims. What else can I do? The judge made her decision April 2nd of this year
  • I was very ill last year and let my Aunt and grandmother take my children to Idaho. While my children were there they filed a motion of abuse with the state of Idaho and I may possibly lose my girls. I have been serve with quite a bit of paperwork from the courts and don't knowhow to fill it out. I only make $7 an hour and don't have the money to get an attorney. I don't want to lose my girls and need some help to answer these letters from the courts of Idaho.
