You need a Canadian forum. If this happened in the US though, the guy on the birth certificate would be the legal father - with all the rights and obligations it carries.

She's clearly not unfit. Abandonment does not equate to being unfit. He cannot petition the State to have her rights terminated unless it is part of a stepparent adoption. What he CAN do though is keep filing for contempt wrt unpaid child support (assuming that there is a court order)...

Psst. The police won't ensure those conditions are met. They can - on very rare occasions - remove the child from immediate danger but other than they're really sort of powerless.

I'm going to give you a heads up. If these children at actually at risk, and you haven't done anything about it, the court isn't exactly going to be thrilled with you. Kids yell. Parents yell back. Neither equates to abuse. And if you try to trample on Mom's rights even a tiny bit...

Joint physical does not equate to a 50/50 timeshare.

There's a good chance that you've given him a nice gift. Was it before or after the relationship ended?

Just want to clarify something. The only people who can intercept your tax refund are government bodies. Regular creditors cannot do this. The fun part? They won't tell you beforehand that the intercept is coming up (they've already notified you once - that's all they need). So...

Good catch! That might complicate things a smidge.

Why would Mom get child support back to birth? This isn't a case where there was no legal father (and hence, child support could go back to birth); this is disestablishing an already-presumed father. The clock doesn't get reset in this circumstance.

Yes hon, but she'll also identify with anyone else who is in regular contact. The mailman. Whoever. The point was, the courts would find such a claim to be ridiculous. Now. If you and Mom are the legal parents, expect Bio to bring forth a paternity suit. Expect the court to hear...

You're saying that one court employee is pretending to be someone else at various court-houses and adding false information to many court cases? I'm curious as to what proof you have.

Most folk I know who use the whatsapp app are not from the US...but not to worry.

You'll have to file an answer, and basically tell MA that the divorce has already been litigated in Canada and include a copy of the divorce in your answer. Try here, too: http://www.masslegalhelp.org/children-and-families/probate-and-family-court/the-answer Given that the divorce is...

From a page just after Texas updated its laws: (from attorney website, with which I am not affiliated) The actual statute: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/docs/pe/htm/pe.22.htm

Be still my heart - I think "testilie" has just become my favourite word EVER. :D

Everyone seems to be without friends these days. Well, that's not quite accurate. They're your friends right up until someone gets collared and then all of a sudden someone waves a magical wand and turns them into "acquaintances". How convenient is that?

Of course, OP's location matters too....

OP, you're not in the US are you? If that's the case we cannot help you... but if you're in the UK, I can certainly hand down some advice. 1. Proving "unfit" in the UK is the question, it's even more difficult do prove. Text messages will get thrown out before the parents can even...

Or to simplify, if the judgment is to be collected, it will follow the new state's rules. If you've managed to "hide" via PA's very generous debtor-friendly rules, you can rest with only the assurance that your wages can't be garnished. But there are many OTHER legal ways for a creditor...

For some reason this set off a red light. Maybe this can help her: http://www.covenanthouseno.org/how-we-can-help/for-youth/
