What is the name of your state?FL My question is, how is Legal guardianship for a minor established? Do both parents have to consent to a legal guardianship? My daughter is 8, her mother passed away in April. I would like to find out if she has established a legal guardianship, could she...

I'd still like to see what your current order says, exactly, about your visitation. You don't need to get the order reversed, there are two ways to go about it. First, you could file for a modification. Have an attorney draw it up (you might be able to do this yourself, but if I were you, I...

Maybe someone else can give you more advice, but here is what I think. First, kids don't choose, while a judge might listen to a child in regards to custody, it is not a valid reason for a custody change. Generally you would need to have more than what the child wants. From what you have...

First, check with an attorney in your area. Why don't you drop the child support case, wait for 6 months of him not paying (make sure that is what the time period is for abandonment). Then do a TPR based on abandonment and have your hubby adopt.

If your order does not have specific dates, you will have a hard time getting him on contempt. You need to modify your current order getting specific dates, for all of your scheduled visitation. For summer, you generally have a deadline to submit your time period to the other parent (ie "NCP...

Which I did do this afternoon. My attorney did say I could go and get my child right now. He asked me why I was reluctant. I explained it to him, and asked if we could file the petition for sole custody/termination of support with the obituary from the paper. What he did do is file the...

OVS says they do not have it filed yet. Can I get it from the funeral home? What is FMLA? Yes, I do have concerns about grandma filing for custody. If she has any chance of it, she will do whatever it takes to get it. This is why I want to be sure all of my bases are covered. And it's not...

She and grandma have a joint checking account, so I think she's alright as far as that goes, but I will ask her. I called the records office, and they do not have the cert. filed yet.

Actually, I would not mind doing the hour drive in the morning before school, and then picking her up after work from grandmas. But I KNOW that grandma will be upset if I say right now daughter is spending every night with me. I think it will be easier for her if I do it slowly over time, plus...

I did tell grandma that I needed the cert. to daughter on my health insurance (it's not open enrollment). Last week she said she would have it by monday, yesterday she said she got it, but there were mistakes, so they were going to have to redo it. This is what got me suspicious that she may...

Right, this is what I tried, in my county it is online now, it is still not in the records. I am not sure how long it takes to get filed.

What is the name of your state?FL Some of you will have seen some of my other posts on this subject, but here is some history. Mom passed away last monday. State is Florida, we had joint legal, with her as the primary residential parent. Mom, daughter (8) and grandmother all lived together...

I'm a little confused, What was this contract? Is it a child support order, signed by a judge, or something you and your ex did on your own?

This SSDI which she qualifies for, does that convert to social security survivor's benefit, or is it in addition to the social security survivor benefit? If it is a different benefit, will we still be able to file for that after her mother passes?

Thank you for your responses, unfortunately, my ex is not in any condition to speak with an attorney. Her passing is extremely imminent, and she has deteriorated to the point where she is confused most of the time. I really don't wish to try to bring this on her at this point in time. The...
