What is the name of your state? NC What is the definition of superseding indictment and when is it used? What are some other superseding processes?

What is the name of your state? NC I'm not sure if this is the right place. I can't remember the answer to this, and I've done a search but couldn't come up with anything. Anyway, I was wondering, if anyone knows for sure if a judge, in a civil case such as suing for medical bills related to a...

Whoops! I missed that part. Sowwwyyy. Dang! Where is the blushing smiley when you need one? LOL

That's not true in VA. You don't have to have someone adopt in order to do a TPR. However, if her spouse wants to adopt and she wants her spouse to adopt, then you can consent to the adoption. The only other option is the other parent is going to have to be the one to petition the court to...

From what I've read in your state, they could possibly look at your income if a request is made to deviate from the state child support guidelines but it is not usually required in establishing or modifying an order. They can't order you to pay it though, as far as I know, they can only look at...

Um exuse me but I live in the same state as the poster, I've had close personal experience with stepparent adoptions and probably know more about them in NC than anyone else on this forum. I'm not saying I know EVERYTHING but probably more than anyone else on here. I've also worked closely with...

It is possible to do it yourself. However, you have a twist in there about establishing who the legal father is. If the alleged father can not be located, I'm not sure how they go about handling that. That is the part you really need to consult an attorney about. Otherwise, all the other forms...

Well there are ways around the system. If the mother went in there and said such and such is the Dad, then that is who they are going after. I'm assuming when he was summoned to court for child support he never questioned it or contested it. It may be too late at this time to do anything about...

I'm not sure how PA works but these are some suggestions. Well first of all, I'd see about getting it continued. Then I'd go see a lawyer. Otherwise, try to come up with as much as you can and pay it and make a payment arrangement. DO NOT go in there with nothing to offer! That will tick the...

LOL Yeah I miss stuff too sometimes. Sometimes I gotta slow down. And if a thread is really long, I'll jump to the end sometimes. LMAO

No you are wrong. The father signed an Affadavit of Parentage. That is what that peice of paper means. He acknowledged that he is the legal and biological father by signing that peice of paper and when he signed it, that gave him equal rights to the child as well as obligations legally. No...

I'm sorry but I always have to clarify this part. LOL He didn't sign the birth certificate. A father whether they are married or not typically do not sign the birth certificate in NC. They always get the mother to sign unless they are unable to. When unmarried, the father can sign an Affadavit...

I know that they are supposed to serve you no less than 5 days before the court date. The only way I know of that you can find out the method he claimed to have you served would be on the summons and a copy of that is probably at the courthouse which is too far away, unless he has an attorney...

I don't know if it's possible to get out of a subpoena. I mean it probably is but you better be careful to go through the right people and the proper procedure because if you've been summoned as a witness and you don't show up, they could issue a bench warrent for you and put you in jail or come...

I think usually it requires domestic violence to be going on but I could be wrong. Here is a link, I'm not really sure which one he should use but he can always go to the courthouse and ask for it too. I have no idea if they will grant it or not. That's really anyone's guess. It depends what...
