Not if there is no one listed on the birth certificate and no one ever filed for paternity. All she has to do if asked "do you know who the father could be?" is say "no." Too easy.

But again, legally, you can't do anything about it. I get it I was there. My ex husband's first wife used to be a psycho. She would do anything she could to keep the kids from him while he was with me until we got married. She was in contempt at a point telling him no visitation until child...

What's the question here? Or legal issue? Well you can't file anything unless you are the parent. Since you said "stepson" you aren't the parent and you aren't even a stepparent since you said "fiancé and I" so you legally cannot file anything. At all. Even as a stepparent. The parent can do...

Well time to get a lawyer - unless the kids are better off with her (as in stable, secure, safe, loving home). You allowed her to care for your kids the last 2 1/2 years and now you suddenly want to take care of them? Who is "we?" Where is the other parent then?

What is wrong with people? It sounds like you have zero parental rights since you never established your paternity. So if she marries someone, yes that person can adopt that child as you have no rights. If you want parental rights, you need to go establish them via your state's law. At this...

She can try but she won't get very far. She was basically a babysitter...and grandparents rights in any state I have read about usually applies to grandparents who had a consistent, positive relationship with the child and either their child who was the parent died or divorce and they didn't get...

You don't know for a fact that it's true either. Yes I would believe my daughter if she ever told me she was abused but if there isn't evidence and it was years after the fact, there's not much that can be done after the fact. You can't guarantee what will or won't happen if they go back. It's...

Your wife needs to get a lawyer if she doesn't like the one she has retained. YOU are legally a stranger in this and YOU can't do anything. Sorry. Until the custody order is modified, yes she has to bring the kids back to him. The judge didn't grant you a temporary protection order but did...

Dude...just walk away. Her parents don't want you around so no means no until she turns 18. There's no point to ruin your life over a girl especially at 17. So just move on.

If it's part of her probation then you definitely need to leave her alone for HER sake. If she gets violated on her probation it's going to hurt her. Her parents could have gotten a protection order against you if they wanted to get one. Your 17, she's 16. In two years, your life can be on a...

In most cases with protection orders, the person being protected has no limits calling the alleged perpetrator (unless it's specifically written in the order). But the respondent can get in trouble for responding. So if her dad finds out she's talking to you and you answer, he can call the...

If you know someone is being abused, you should call the police. Also you don't know what will happen in the future no matter how much you "plan" for it to happen. Maybe she'll change her mind about you. Maybe her parents will move her. You don't know. Until she's 18, her parents control who she...

Well if your son and this woman have never married - did he ever establish his paternity via state laws? If not - he legally has no rights to them. If he does have his paternity established he can file for custody if he chooses. In most states, grandparents don't have any rights to grandkids...

Getting off "scot free?" Free of what? They did nothing wrong. You have no case - civil or criminal. You have issues you should examine and try to remedy.

I'm not even sure what I read. You have no legal recourse for whatever happened here - as stated just find somewhere else to eat. At most you can leave a review about the place or complain to the manager.

DCF doesn't just randomly take kids - and if there was no court ordered paperwork your friend shouldn't have let the kids go with them. Who are you in this situation? If you are not one of the parents, there's nothing you can do except hire them a lawyer. Otherwise you have no legal stake in it.

Report it. If you know he illegally has guns report it to the police. Then it's up to them. Since he has a protection order against him, just abide by it and hope he does. I have had a protection order on someone and luckily he actually didn't violate it. But some people ignore that piece of...

You're only going to get arrested if you do NOT show up. If you show up and show cause as to why you aren't paying, the judge will possibly give you more time to pay or give you a date that you need to have a job by. Your worst choice to make will be not showing up because then you'll have a...

Ah bless your heart. If you got legal advice why are you here? You have a lawyer who you paid and you're here on a legal forum? Why? Oh you say the sweetest things! ;) My self-esteem is great. I think you should take your own advice though.

No it's not. I wasn't rude or disrespectful. I was straight forward and blunt and told facts. Have a lovely day!
