What is the name of your state? Tx Today a man from some oil & Gas exploration company stopped by my home and spoke to my mother in law. My in laws own the property but not the mineral rights. The company wants to do exploration. My in laws are not interested in letting anyone on their...

And in addition to the previous posts, although mom can give the baby whatever name she wants at the birth, the biofather has the RIGHT to petition the court and have the baby's last name changed against the wishes of the mother. Your wishes are not considered here at all. You are a legal...

As far as the child support is concerned she can dictate all she wants but when she gets into court the court will determine the amount of child support she will get based on a formula that the state has. They will either consider only your income or both your and hers. It depends on which model...

at the age of 16 your son has the right to tell the court who he would prefer to live with. However it is still up to the judge to decide whether or not to let the child have their way. If the court sides with your son then yes they can make you pay child support even though he owes you and they...

you are also forgetting the fact that historically children carry their father's names. It is a father's right for their children to carry their last name. I think MO got it right. It too many other states father's are pushed out totally right down to the last name. I had a different name from...

actually there is no new law but the California Supreme Court ruled that Custodial Parents no longer have the Presumptive Right to move. They must petition the court for permission and if she leaves without the courts approval the court can reverse custody. You should file immediately to stop...

This woman has no rights to anything legally having to do with your son. She legally cannot make decisions for your son. She legally has no right to call his school. However if your exhusband has told your child's school to talk to her then there is not a lot the school can do about it. Your...

well it would seem to me that since you moved to Oregon, closer to the children's father, that the father has a pretty good reason to stop your move. You can't move against the court order just because it was closer to Dad and then when you want to move back, say "Ooops, I wasn't supposed to...

the previous poster is correct that if the biodad agrees to the terminate his rights it will be much easier for you. However if he fights it for any reason, you can pretty well forget it. Courts are not going to take away a parents right to contact just because there is another man in the...

in addition to everything else that has already been said the California Supreme Court ruled several weeks ago that the Custodial Parent NO LONGER has the presumptive right to relocate. Which means that you do have to petition the court and YOU have to prove that moving is in the best interest...

ok first off, as you have orders in place you have three options, You can find the money to hire a lawyer, you can file a case with the Texas Attorney General's office, they will garnish his wages and order his employer to enroll your son on his health insurance, they are not fast though but...

If there is nothing in the decree stating that you can't move the child out of new york then TECHNICALLY yes you can move, however standard in every decree is the notice that you must give dad some many days notice of any intended move. Its like 30 or 60 days to give him a chance to get a...

Ok first off, your daughter is about two years old. Texas courts still very much operate under the tender years theory that mom is the best parent for any child under the age of nine. The fact that you are remarried will have no bearing on the custody of the child. In fact if you are percieved...

Thanks!! :D if you don't mind colored hair, I have both. But seriously thanks for the advice. I still have some more looking around to do. I am thinking I will probably need to choose a school in Texas as most of the Distance Education schools(such as Ashworth College, Harcourt Learning) are...

What is the name of your state?tx I am getting ready to head back to college and finally finish my degree. As I never specified a major I am now at the point that I am ready to do that. I am considering Paralegal studies. As part of my research into the paralegal field I have found many...
