I currently live in ND and have for over a year and have a 4 yo domestic violence injunction against me in FL. How can I get the DV inj. dismissed?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Mark Rowan Miller (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
should be fairly easy unless your wife has it out for you.  You will need to contact an attorney in the county where the injunction was issued and file a motion to end the injunction.    Yes, the DV is moot, but you still have to act to set it aside.

Dcfs took my two children last week and put one of them in his car without a carseat. Can anything be done about this

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Mark Rowan Miller (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
About DCF taking them or putting one of them in car seat?  If it is about the car seat, I don't think there is much you can do.  True, they should have had a car seat but if they made the decision to remove the child, they will probably say the danger of letting the child stay there was greater than the danger of putting the child in a car without a carseat....

My fiancé and I want our four year old son back, or an immidiate transfer of custody to our child's paternal grand mother.

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Diana L. Anderson   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
You need to make an application to the court detailing the things that make the environment that your son is living in unsafe.  You also need to document all of the things that you have done to address any substance abuse issues you and your fiance were or are dealing with.  the court is not going to immediately transfer custody.  The court will look for compliance with all programs, and then allow supervised visitation, unsupervised, then overnights.  Its a gradual process.  Good Luck....

Would like to obtain information on my adoption which was in passaic county nj 66 yrs ago

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by attorney Diana L. Anderson   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
You should start by requesting a copy of your birth certificate on line if you have not already done so.  If you were adopted 66 years ago, your birth certificate may list the names of your biological parents, and may be accessible.  Good luck !

I am trying to adopt my nephew from Trinidad West Indies he is currently living in the US with me. I have legal guardianship over him can this be done

Answered 13 years and 10 months ago by attorney Diana L. Anderson   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Adoptions
There would need to be a lot more information.  Doing an international adoption like this is very difficult because you still have to get parental consent and everything has to comply with New Jersey law.  However, New Jersey law also allows you to adopt an adult, so you can wait until he is 18, and then adopt him.  If you already have legal guardianship, there should be no issue with school, medical care etc.  ...
