Can the biological father of my son change my son's last name without my consent?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by attorney Sabina Tomshinsky   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
A name change is a legal proceeding that must be commenced by filing a petition for a name change. Generally, per the Florida Statutes, "[w]hen only one parent petitions for a change of name of a minor child, process shall be served on the other parent and proof of such service shall be filed in the cause." So if the father files this petition on his own, he must still notify you of this petition and you may then present your objections. The Court will then hold a hearing and make an appropriate determination.... Read More

Can we petition for full custody if my 4 year old step son is living with mother and her boyfriend who is a convicted sex offender?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Randy Lee Warren (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
This is a very serious situation, as you well know. Yes, you can and probably should petitioner for full custody as well as exploring a restraining order to keep the boyfriend in no-contact. Even though a proposition like this sounds like it should be automatically granted, I have seen such efforts fail. Do not attempt this without an attorney if you have any ability to retain counsel. There is more information that is county-specific. Reply and tell me what county's court issued the 50/50 order.... Read More

What can I do if my roommate's boyfriend is living in my apartment?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
You have to give him a 30-day notice to quit and then file an eviction action. The problem is if roommate is on the lease, then she has the right to allow him there, unless you both are violating the lease to let him be there. If you are the only one on the lease, kick them both out.

If my daughter's mother has had absolutely no contact with her nor I in eight years can her rights be terminated?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by John R. Ceci (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
Parents rights are not terminated in the abstract. In your situation if you have a new wife who is willing to adopt then termination of the mother's rights is possible. If you have a custody order already in place then perhaps you need to look into trying to modify it, depending on what it says about visitation.... Read More

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers
No. Cutting off utilities is illegal and can cause you a great deal of trouble. If the tenant has not paid rent, it is time to evict them.

How can I get a divorce without getting my husband to jail?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by John R. Ceci (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
As a general rule divorce court judges can only send people to jail if/when they find the person in contempt of court. And even then jail is not the first option. Divorces are civil cases. Civil cases are generally do not involve jail time. Domestic violence is a crime. In a criminal case jail is always a possibility, even when the offense is relatively minor, such a disorderly person; in serious cases (such as murder) jail is a given. Prosecutors file criminal charges after receiving a police report about a given incident. If you do not file a report with the police then the prosecutor's office will not know about your situation.... Read More

Can a property settlement be amended after a divorce is final, and can text messages be used as proof of agreements made?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
If the divorce decree said those items were allocated to you, yes. If the verbal agreement was different from the final decree, then no. The only thing a court can consider post decree is an issue the parties either forgot to address in the decree or that was unknown by a party at the time of the decree.... Read More

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
I would've hoped that you had an attorney during the divorce proceeding, and if you did that is the person to consult. Otherwise you will have to take your proofs to the court and file motion to have your property returned to you if it is determined that under the judgment as entered, and the evidence you can provide, you are entitled to it....

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Divorce
I think you need to sue him outside of divorce court for the value of the items he took. You will need the text messages to show that he has your property. The problem in the divorce case is that the property was not "in you possession" and you don't have any right to it under the decree.... Read More

Can we get a petition if my boyfriend’s ex-wife does not want her children attending wake/funeral during the planned week?

Answered 11 years and 11 months ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
First, there is no custody as such in WA. She has the majority of time. If the parenting plan allows him to take the children out of state he can take them out of state. If it doesn't he cant. I assume you meant there will be a wake, since the uncle is dead and can not be wakened. The father can assure the mother the kids will not go to the funeral/wake although she has no authority to control this. The real issue here is whether this is time allocated to the father and whether the parenting plan allows him to take the kids out of state.... Read More
