  • Me and my ex have joint custody. I live in bisbee and he lives in sierra vista .He has memorial weekend and the following week with our son which he intends to take his vacation week. He is refusing telling me where hes taking vacation and I'm afraid hes taking him to california since hes taken him before without letting me know and that's where his girlfriends family lives.

  • I had my baby two months ago, she was "unnamed baby" on her birth certificate. I gave them her father's information. I went to give them her name at the Vital Records Office, but it couldn't be done because her father has to sign and noterize an affadavit. I don't know where he is and my daughter needs her birth certificate. I was told that I need a court order for her to be named, how do I go about doing that?
