My best friend is 24 weeks pregnant and wants me to take baby home from hospital with me and raise her. What legal steps would u advise, I don’t have much money for an attorney, since I would need to pay for baby things.

My son’s mother just died. She has full custody and I have visitation rights every other weekend. She and my son live at her sister’s house. The sister is now going to try to take custody of my son. What are my rights? What rights do they have? Can they take him from me? I am his father, he should be with me. We all live in Wisconsin.

i have a 16yo who moved from her moms to live with me (her dad) last February due to unhappiness and issues at her moms.. now she has decided she wants to move back because she misses her school and friends but I am not convinced she is safe there.. do i have options or is she free at 16 to decide where to live?

My husband has a two year old son with his ex wife. We live in Ohio where their divorce took place and she lives in Missouri. Right now my husband has full custody. His ex has not contacted us to see her son in over 9 months and I have been his “mommy” for most of his life. I was wondering if there was anyway after a certain amount of time passes with her not contacting us that I can adopt my husbands son?

in 2006 a law was passed that makes one go to Guam for 7 days for a legal divorce, prior to that, you didn’t have to go to guam. the state of California is challenging my divorce and i need to prove them that the new law is not retroactive because it is not stated in the new law, and that my divorce order should be governed under the old law and not the new law.

My husband and I have been separated for almost 3 1/2 months we haven’t filed for legal separation or a divorce yet but I plan too soon. He is a member of the army national guard and hasn’t paid me a dime since we have been separated for our 2 yr old daughter nor does her call about her or see her . He is already living with his new girlfriend must i mention i am his second marriage already and he is 25 yrs old . Does anyone know if I can contact someone in the military to help me with his irresponsibility and what he has done to me and our child???? Also will he have to pay back child support when we go to court???

i am the custodial parent of a 15 1/2 year old girl. she did live with her dad from the age of 2 till 7 due to my illness.(cancer) at age 7 he gave me custody because he was divorcing and he just brought her to me dropped her off and went on about his business. she went on her visitations when it was convenient for him. she began to show some emotional disorders at the age of 12/13 years old. i put her in counseling and about a year later she began to talk about the abuse her dad and step mom had done to her. she didn’t want to go on her visits but continued because of being afraid to tell him no. with in the last few months she has become emotional said her dad left her home a lot and played poker and never spent time with her. she was afraid. she suffers from intermittent explosive disorder, anxiety, depression disorder, post traumatic stress syndrome, separation anxiety disorder, bi polar disorder and skitzoaffective disorder. to name a few. she tried harming herself about 4 days ago and was hospitalized. she has stated to the pyc doctor she did not want to see her dad anymore, and if she had to she would harm herself again. and her father has a gun in the home, which he denies, but he does. the pyc. doctor said she can not be around him because of her trying to harm herself and i asked if he didn’t have a gun could she, he said only if there’s proof that there’s no gun in the home. which it is hard to get proof that there wouldn’t be. and considering her emotional state he wouldn’t recommend it. she called her dad and told him she did not want to see him that he causes her to much emotional stress. he then texted me and told me if he didn’t get her on his visitation that he would contact his lawyer. do i have to make her go? she is 15 and i have not made her tell her dad this she did it on her own. we live in Peru Indiana i don’t want to go to jail for contempt. but if she doesn’t want to go will i? thank you for your help

My husband refused to comply the court order and not pay me the interim relief in a divorce case. Whether I have to file a separate petition for this or to file in the Execution Form
(Form No-47) to execute the order ?
