Very concise schedules but cn only work with parents that either have prior relations with children, have average hostilites and are not out of state or parents on a mutual communication for children.

QUESTIONS

  • How do I change a custody agreement so that I now have full custody as my ex-husband is no longer fit to have full custody? I had issues with depression and alcohol so he has full custody now and I’m supposed to just have supervised visits but we are reconciling and live together with the kids. I have since turned myself around completely and am sober and managing my depression. He is unfortunately in a constant state of relapse currently and repeatedly being taken to a hospital or treatment facility. He is the one working and making money but I take care of the kids 24/7.
  • does the mom have all the rights to the child
  • MY SON'S FATHER AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN MARRIED, NEVER LIVED TOGETHER AND HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF MY SONS LIFE SINCE HE WAS 2 WEEKS OLD. HE IS ON THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE BUT IVE PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED MY SON WITHOUT A DIME FROM HIS FATHER OR HELP FROM HIS FATHERS FAMILY. HE'S MISSED ALL BIRTHDAYS, HOLIDAYS, ETC. HOW CAN I GET FULL LEGAL CUSTODY OF MY SON AND HOW EXACTLY WOULD THE PROCESS WORK IF HIS FATHER COMES AND GOES? I AM NOT LOOKING FOR CHILD SUPPORT. I JUST WANT LEGAL DOCUMENTATION SO THAT HE IS NOT ABLE TO TRY TO TAKE MY SON FROM ME. SOMEONE HELP??
  • Will ignoring my drug addict, stalker ex hurt my case if he ever attempts to attain custody of our son?
  • I need to get an order for child custody
  • I have 3 kids by the same man and his name is on their birth certificate and we never married. 7 years ago he was convicted of a sexual charge against my daughter and other charges and is in prison until my youngest is 18 years old. Before he sexual violated my daughter I had left him and was in a relationship with the man Iā€™m married to today. My husband has raised my kids as his own for 7 years. Also the biological father was diagnosed as incompetent while he is incarcerated. Can my husband adopt my kids without his consent? So if I die he can raise my kids and not biological dads parents?
  • I have sole legal and father last known address is CA. Last attempt to serve was done by alternate service and last known address. He has not exercised visitation in almost 3yrs. Has history of Domestic violence. Sole legal was given 1yr ago. I'm currently needing to move out of state. Since he is not in AZ I'm not sure if I need to file with the court. Or just update my address. My last attorney said I'm free to go where and when I need but never said how.
  • What age does a child have to be in order to deny a parents right to see them who has custody only on the weekend
  • Our 12 yr old grandson in NY has been in foster care for almost 2 years and the Child Protection department has filed for termination of parental rights against our daughter. We are grandparents living in AZ and have filed in NY a petition for custody against our daughter. I believe we filed for custody of our grandson against his mother prior to the petition for parental rights termination. Must the judge hear our custody petition first? If the court rules in our favor and gives us custody of our grandson will his placement with us be governed by the ICPC or will we be considered an exception? We cannot afford an attorney and NY will not appoint an attorney for us since we do not reside in NY.
  • How do I gain sole custody of my unborn son soon to be born.
