QUESTIONS

  • My grandson's mom died, dad-my son- was in prison. Baby was living with my ex-husband (step grandfather), and he said state makes inmates sever parental rights-pushed him to sign voluntarily so he could adopt. He said if I interfere State may place the boy for adoption by strangers and I was not even being considered as adoptive placement. CPS, Foster Care board and courts wouldn't call me back to confirm. Ex husband said if I interfere we lose the boy forever so I stopped. Son died last year. Exhusband will no longer let me see my grandson. I think he lied-manipulated us and State acted inappropriately
  • I have a baby that's going to be born soon and the mother will not let me be part of the baby's life because I choose to be with someone else. She's giving the baby her new boy friend's last name even though she and I both know the baby is mine. What can I do to be in my child's life legally without her being able to tell me no?
  • I need to know where to start in the legal prosecution of a gentleman that had a signed contract with me to install security cameras for men and I paid him upfront for the equipment and then he disappeared. How would I start legal actions against him. I have a police report and a signed contract from him.
  • MY BOYFRIEND AND I LEAVE IN ABILENE TX, AND HIS EX LIVES IN MESA AZ, WE HAVE TO DRIVE 13 1/2 HOURS TO PICK UP HIS 4YR OLD SON, IS THERE NOT ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO CHANGE THE ORDER TO HAVE HER MEET US? THINGS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE ORDER WAS WRITTEN, HIS JOB HAS CHANGED AS WELL! SHE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE ORDER LIKE SHE IS SUPPOSED TO, WE HAD TO CALL THE POLICE LAST TIME BC SHE WASN'T HOME FOR US TO DROP HIM OFF. ITS GETTING REALLY FRUSTATING
  • I have an almost 6-year-old son; never married; son's father is on his birth certificate and I receive child support, but no written custody order or anything else. (Does that mean paternity has been established, but I by default have legal custody?) Son's father moved out of state a few years ago; we maintain regular contact and do visits when we're able. I would like to move out of state and potentially out of the country for my career.
  • My landlord does not fix things (like my stoves/ovens). What is the process of having fixed myself and deducting it from my rent?
  • What is the procedure for revoking a power of attorney? What documentation has to be done to complete such a revocation?
  • Is it legal for a landlord to write notifications on a piece of paper and tape it to the door? Can landlord have my car that's parked in my driveway towed without legal papers and with only 2 weeks notice?
  • At my current job I began outside, when my asthma began effecting me we moved inside to another position in a building where it did not make my asthma any better. Finally they moved me to a position where my health wasnt compromised, a month ago they gave me the option to go back to the two previous position that effected my health when I explained that my health was in jeopardy they kept insisting the same two positions stating they needed people their. Can I file a lawsuit for them forcing me into a threatening position?
  • My exhusband and I remained close since our divorce.I spoke to him the day before he died.He stayed in our home and was the only one on the deed etc. He told me the last time we spoke he had mortgage insurance naming me as benificiary. However, he had no wll or named executor so the house is in probate. Most important to me is not the house but my belongings in the house most of which is sentimental. The car I have the title to is gone. Who is it I can call? I don't know who is in control of the house. I hear it is the government but who? I worry about so many things in the home I wish I had.
