What is the name of your state? Mississippi I want to know, what, exactly, are the laws of Mississippi in removing parental rights? The father of the child did not know the child for the first 4 1/2 yrs. of life (a problem which was beyond his control). Paternity has been established, he is the...

I'm back. Let me tell you how court went. Mississippi. No I would never press charges against her. I would like to threaten her and make her believe I would, but no, I would never do that. It just makes me mad that she had the gall to do that and think that was her "ace in the hole" to win...

What is the name of your state? Mississippi I know yall are pissed at me, BUT, let me tell you how things went!! We went to court on Dec. 20th for emergency temporary visitation for Christmas. The ex-wife and my son were at the judges bench. Ex-wife was going on and on about how horrible my...

From my own experience with this forum, believe me, when they tell you to look it up on your own, they mean it. It is amazing to me that people go to this forum to get advice and all they get are "smart a-- answers"--after the initial first answer. This forum was of no help to me. It scared...

Enforced Visitation First of all, let me answer Missychelle26. Believe me, I am not going to say a word in court!!! Could my son pay for the lawyer, NO. HE is spending every dime he has on getting a nice place to live and a nice place for his son to visit, if he gets visitation. Am I running...

Enforced Visitation They were married. All this happened after the wreck. He did not go to trial for 2 1/2 years!! Had a home, a job, happy, everything was fine. She was FULLY aware of the situation and knew that it was a possiblility that he could go to prison. And then the trial came at...

Enforced Visitation This has never been brought up or a question. He is the father on the birth certificate. We have a birth certificate. I don't know if that matters-- I'm confused here--- His paternity has never been questioned. I don't think that will even come up. What are you telling...

Yes, paternity has been established. There is no question who the child belongs to. We have had no tests, but it is so obvious that he belongs to my son. It's almost a clone. The mother even remarks how much he looks like him, she has never questioned or doubted that. Is a paternity test...

Entirely too long, but I consulted 3 Child Experts and 2 of them told me going to CPS was a 'crap shoot' and I was just taking my chances that anything would be done and if I was scared of not seeing the child now THAT would guarantee my chances of not seeing him due to anguring the mother...

Enforced Visitation She never minded taking the money and still wants me to continue to pay for the child's school, all of his clothes and her telephone bill - she will let the phone get cut off if I do not pay it. She has done this numerous times and I kept getting it cut back on, so I...

I have been telling this mother for 5 years that as soon as my son got home I was going to see to it that her child support started. I am a firm believer of child support and think she deserves to get every bit of support and help that she can get. I told her the very minute these proceedings...

Enforcing Visitation Continued What I meant by "enforcing visitation" is that we can take it back to court if there is abuse of the order. Mississippi law states that if the custodial parent interferes with the order, a Motion for Change of Circumstances can be filed and custody can be changed...

Mississippi. Please take the time to read this and give me advice. For the last 4 1/2 years, I have been supporting my grandchild, completely, and sending money to the mother and paying her bills. Plus, she has now remarried, and I am still supporting my grandchild and am STILL paying some of...

What is the name of your state? Mississippi. After the custodial Parent shows a repeated pattern of violating the visitation order, will Mississippi enforce the court order and site the custodial parent for 'contempt of court'? If so, how? If not, what can the non-custodial parent do to...
