Gina Marie Famularo's answer
This question is more complicated than a simple answer can provide. There are too many variables. We're you married? Is father on the birth certificate? Has there ever been a court order concerning your daughter? What do you mean by full custody? Find a local attorney and go get a consultation.

Q: What happens with child support when my daughter turns 18 and I still have my son half the time?
1 Answer | Asked in Family Law for Minnesota on Aug 28, 2014
Answered on Sep 2, 2014
Kristen Bullock's answer
It depends on how the child support order was written. However, in general, there is no automatic reduction when one of the children become emancipated (turn 18 or graduate from high school). The obligor is still responsible until they file in court asking or a reduction. Again, that would depend on what the child support order stated. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 651.270.6484 if you have any questions.
Q: Can you take a child out of state without permission from the other parent?
1 Answer | Asked in Family Law for Minnesota on Aug 28, 2014
Answered on Sep 2, 2014
Kristen Bullock's answer
Since your brother shares custody, Mother should not have moved out of the state with the minor child without his agreement or court permission. Your brother should contact an attorney right away before Minnesota loses jurisdiction and the other state gets jurisdiction. I handle these matters, please feel free to contact me at 651.270.6484 to set up a consultation.
Q: My mother passed in 7/2014 my niece has taken over the property and her name was in my mothers bank accounts.
Jonathan Craig Reed's answer
Most probate attorneys will give you a free phone consultation. If the niece was a joint owner of the bank account or a payable on death beneficiary of the bank account, the niece would normally get the bank account proceeds. The county recorder where your mother's house is located may have a public website that shows ownership by address and name. You could check and see if the house was solely in your mother's name (probate required) or in joint tenancy with your mother and niece....

More information would be needed to fully answer this question. However, I would not get overly concerned about father's threats unless you get served with court papers as it seems like he has some issues that would make it difficult for him to get custody.
