      Another disability question

      Under federal statutes, VA disability cannot be garnished unless the veteran is waiving military retirement pay to receive it. However, eligible dependents of the veteran can apply for an apportionment of the veteran's benefits if he is not otherwise supporting them. The VA will consider the...

      Are you receiving a VA disability or SSDI? VA disablilty payment amounts are based on the veteran's disability rating % and the number of dependents (spouse, children, even dependent parents).

      Permentent Alimony since 1991

      Let me be more explicit- there is no entitlement under Federal law for a spouse to be awarded a percentage of a military member's retired pay solely based upon the length of the marriage. Please read the Uniformed Services Former Spouse Protection Act. And, it is not contradictory to say it...

      Questions in Alaska

      Almost correct. If you can prove you are the only parent necessary to give permission for the child's passport either by providing a birth certificate w/only your name listed, a court order granting sole custody w/o travel restrictions, or a death certificate of other parent, you can get the...

      She calls me Mommy!

      The medical authorization form is good to have for the child's safety healthwise, to ensure you don't ever have a problem getting medical care. But, it is not a step towards legal custody.

      She calls me Mommy!

      I wasn't referring to the money aspect of medical coverage. And, there may be no problem with you taking her to routine medical care.

      She calls me Mommy!

      How have you taken this little girl in for medical care since you have no legal custody or guardianship? Although your compassion/love for the child is commendable, you cannot provide any long term stability for the child w/o some legal arrangement. In reality, you and your friends that are...

      Amen!! Nextwife The lives of many, many children would have been much better had their bio parents been unselfish enough or honest w/themselves and given their babies up for adoption at birth.
