I am assuming there is a hearing set to decide whether the protection order will be extended. If so, you need to be prepared to present evidence at that hearing to show that her allegations are false. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

I’m sorry to hear about him committing suicide. It’s difficult to say without knowing the facts of the case. It would be wise to at least consult with a probate attorney who can review the facts of the case and present you with the options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
I have a saving to live off of for the time being and I can do online school can they track me down I'm miserable in this foster home its horrible and I plan on leaving I can take care of myself
You will most likely be reported as a runaway and if you are found you will be brought back to the foster home or to another one. If you are in a bad situation there you should speak with your case worker about it and see if there are other options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558
Divorce agreement when she was under 18? Paperwork doesn’t say I have to continue making payments on medical bills that occurred before 18. Can I stop making payments on medical bills now that is she 18?
Without seeing your order it’s difficult to say what you are still responsible for, if anything. However, if you were responsible for half of the medical bills until she turned 18, then it stands to reason that you would still need to pay your share for bills that came from before she turned 18....

They're in foster care and they want to adopt them
DSS likely can't force him. Typically, for his parental rights to be terminated, he is entitled to a hearing and a Judge will decide. Of course, if he hasn't done anything to get the children back in the last year and a half, his odds of being successful are likely not good. He needs... Read more »
I pay child support every month and have always been current. I also pay my child's benefits every paycheck. Other than being required to pay half of his medical bills, am I required to pay anything else? Or even half of anything? My ex has told me that I am still responsible to half other... Read more »
To answer this question properly, one would need to see your property settlement agreement.
The property sits on an acre of land on my mother-in-laws farm. What would happen if my husband and I divorced? Since she doesn't live with us I feel as if she shouldn't have ties in the share value of the home. Also, what would happen if my mother-in- and father-in-law divorced? Would he... Read more »
Seeing the actual deed would be important, but basically you, your husband and m-I-l are either tenants in common or tenants with right of survivorship. Either way you m-I-l has a 1/3 or 1/2 interest in the property. If you and your husband divorce, she would be entitled to 1/3. If she and her... Read more »
I am still I high school this is my last year and I am being told that I have a garden until I turn 19 can I still move out because they are telling me that being 18 dont matter that they are still my garden
You mean guardian rather than garden. Once you turn 18, you can make all your own choices and decisions. Unless there is a guardianship over you which provides it remains in place until you are 19, 18 is the magic number.
You need to provide more information before we attempt an answer. Such as, what is the Order for? When was it filed? Were you served? Is it a modification or original divorce? Please provide more information. Thank you.
My ex and his girlfriend who he lives with are being investigated by CPS. There has been domestic violence in the home and heavy drinking. I want to know if there is a way to make it so they cannot stay overnight until this situation is resolved. The behavior has gotten worse and has been going on... Read more »
Yes, you can file for a parenting plan modification without an attorney. You will need to locate the forms for a Motion to Show Cause re: Modification of Parenting Time on the court website which you can fill out yourself. If you find them too difficult, you should retain an attorney to assist you.
I am the custodial parent, however he took her for a visit and refused to give her back and then had a restraining order files. . The hearing has been reset to mid October as he is required to get a nail drug test bc he is an addict and is on felony probation. Since it has been over 14 days since... Read more »
Under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, a Temporary Restraining Order usually expires on its own 14 days after it has been issued. TRO's are often extended, however. I suggest that you call the District Clerk to ask.
My daughter is two years old and my mother must’ve filed some kind of way to get custody of her but I was never told of a hearing or anything I have no criminal history no drug history no anything
Call a custody lawyer. Justia is not a referral service. It is a website on which to ask legal questions.

Other rooms upstairs. He wants me to move out. he called the cops one time and they said he would have to evict me. Now he is saying he is signing the house over to my brother who doesn't like me this evening. The IRS has a 187000000$ lien on the house. Can he do this ?
If you are over the age of 18, and not disabled, you need to find another place to live. Either your father or your brother can simply lock you out or evict you.
I am being told I cant move out till after high school when I'm 19 I'm 18 and wanna move out now
You can move at 18.
She will be in jail for about 2 and a half years, and has split custody with the child's father. Father will be caring for the child full time while mother is in jail, wondering what happens after she gets out of jail/what her rights will be during the whole process
Not automatically. Either the father will need to file for a modification of custody, or DCS could intervene.
I’m trying to determine if Worksheet A or B should be used to determine the amount of child support I pay. Based solely on the weekly custody schedule in my consent order, my sons spend 120 overnights with me/year. But if you factor in holidays and vacation time also defined in the consent order,...

A properly drafted consent order should have already properly calculated child support. However, what worksheet you use is based on what type of custody you have. Since we do not know that, we can not answer your question. You should likely consult with a local family law attorney if you want to... Read more »
And verbally abuse me. I did a protection order but he held me hostage so I couldn’t go he also threaten me If I go back that he will hurt me and take our child. How can I collect child support and not let him be around my child? He sell drugs and is not a stable person.
Please contact 2nd chance and they will help you get away from him.
Also contact DHR who will go after child support without giving any visits. Good luck to you.
The father of my 2 children and I had been together for 16 years. Living together for over 10, our eldest is 14. We both agreed to stop child support because it was OUR income/outcome but he recently moved out. He is on the lease/utilities and state grant (DHS), I am unable to provide a forwarding...

Contact your county's DHS office or Friend of the Court; they will take it from there.
My ex and I have 2 children, 16 y/o. Our divorce left me in terrible finances, while he continued earning more, well over 6 figures. I left a great career a few years ago due to my daughter's difficult medical diagnosis.
My income is so low i am on medi-cal, and since my children live... Read more »
You are responsible for uninsured medical costs based on what your court order says. The language varies from case to case. Usually there is language in the order stating that the healthcare coverage should be free of cost or at reasonable cost. It does not sound like the insurance he has provided... Read more »
