What are the possible causes where a judge will allow a name change for a 5 Year old child?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by Mark T. Peters, Sr. (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
I doubt that the judge would allow a name change without your consent. This might be a time where you can get the judge to order some sanctions against him because of vexatious litigation. And perhaps impute a 6 figure income against him because of his education/training/work history. But you will need an attorney willing to fight him.... Read More

If I have temporary guardianship of my niece, am I obligated to allow weekend visitations to the parents?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by Helene Ellenbogen (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody
What does the guardianship order say about the parents' access to the child? Or do you really only have something signed by the parents and not an order of the court. If the latter, you really have nothing and can go to court on a 3rd party custody action.

If I am 17 with a one month old wanting to get married, how do I go about doing that?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by attorney Brent R. Chipman   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Child Custody

The other alternative would be to file an action to be declared emancipated prior to your 18th birthday.... Read More
