Family Law

Waffle Captain asked:


What actions did they have to commit?

buddy1 asked:


I’m filing for divorce in CA and I’m doing it myself for financial reason. My question is about the final form (FL-130) which has a box I need to check that says:
“The parties waive their right to notice of trial,a statement of decision, a motion for new trial and the right to appeal.”
Can you simplify this statement. By the way, the form is the Appearences, Stipulations and Waivers. Thank you

How has family law changed in the United States since 1979?

buddy1 asked:


I live in CA and I’m filing for divorce, I’m also doing it myself by filling all the forms. So my question is If I file form FL-820 “Request for Judgement, Judgement of Dissolusion of Marriage and Notice of Entry of Judgement” which is the request for immediate judgement of dissolusion, will the judge grant the divorce to be effective when I file this form to the court or do I have to wait until it’s final. Help!!!

Mom of three asked:


I have a 13yr. old that my husband would like to adopt. This is a mutual agreement between myself, my husband, and (our) 13yr. old. My 13yr. old considers him as her real dad because he has been in her life since she was about 21/2 yrs. old and her blood dad is no where to be found. Now that we are married he would like to legally change her (13yr.old) last name. So I need some help finding a good but affordable Attorney that practices in Family Law that is located in Indianapolis, IN. Please help. Thank You.

What questions could possibly arise from this scenario, and what relevant case law and statutes should i be aware of, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Angela started a relationship with Dave, a fellow student, whilst studying for a degree in law at University. After the first year on the course they decided to move in together and get engaged. Rather than rent a house, Dave’s father agreed to give Dave a helping start on the property ladder and paid the deposit of £20,000 (twenty thousand) on a £200,000 (two hundred thousand) house. He also agreed to initially assist with the mortgage payments and act as a guarantor on the mortgage. However as he had never approved of Dave’s relationship with Angela he was only prepared to assist in this way if the house were put into Dave’s sole name. Dave and Angela reluctantly agreed to this course of action.

Whilst at University Angela paid Dave rent which he used to pay the mortgage. After successfully completing their degrees and Legal Practice Course they both went to work in the city as trainee solicitors. Some of Angela’s income was used to pay household expenses but as Dave worked for a large American practice he could now afford to pay the mortgage alone without any assistance from Angela or his father. Shortly after qualifying they started a family and in the space of a couple of years they had two young children. As Dave often worked abroad Angela did not return to work after the birth of the children. She looked after the children and carried out most of the domestic duties.

Angela suspected that Dave was having an affair due to the amount of time he was spending away from home. On searching his clothing she found a compromising photograph of him with his secretary. She confronted Dave with this who admitted this affair. That evening Angela moved out of the house with the children into her mother’s flat on a temporary basis. The conditions at her mother’s were cramped and she was forced to move into rented property. Dave refused to support her or the children and Angela had difficulty in coping with her mounting debts.

Angela became severely depressed and was prescribed a concoction of anti depressants by her G.P. Angela was also consuming half a bottle of whisky a day and spent most of her time in a drug and alcohol induced daze. During this time she was comforted in particular by a close friend Tracey, an eccentric older woman. Tracey was a self made millionaire with a substantial property portfolio across the country. Last year she had appeared in The Times Rich List with a personal fortune estimated at 50 million pounds.

After only a couple of weeks Tracey convinced Angela to enter into a registered civil partnership. Angela and her 2 children moved into Tracey’s home. Due to her continual drinking Angela often flew into uncontrollable rages. On more than one occasion she physically attacked Tracey who was powerless to defend herself. Eventually things get too much for Tracey and she told Angela she wanted the relationship to end. Angela was distraught and pleaded with her to give her one more chance. Further, she was diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder which explained her violent outbursts.

I’m a single mother with sole legal and sole physical custody of my two children. Their father lives in town and had visitation every other weekend. I have no support system or family in Boise, ID, and want to move to California to be near my family for support as I’ve fallen on hard times. He will not agree to let me move, so I will need to pursue in court. Looking for a good lawyer that will be able to help me get what is best for me and my children.

Eoghan. asked:


More specifically, family law.
Ill give the obstruction of parental alienation as an example.
Celtish got some info in that?
Well cristina it would be more constructive if we didnt have that us against them mentality and an inclusive group that actually stood for eqality instead of just pretending to.
Setting men and women up as political opponants that have to fight amongst themselves to try to maintain equality is a huge waste of resourses when we could have an inclusive people movement instead.

confused asked:


I posted a question yesterday about how can an illegal immigrant collect child support and I think every one misunderstood the question. I am not trying to collect child support I pay child support to an illegal alien and at the time we got married I had no idea he was illegal. It wasn’t until the divorce and we asked questions in the interrogatories that I found out all the information I addressed in the previous post. All discovery. So anybody have any answers for me different than I received as I am not crying over trying to collect child support, I have a job and do support my son. Just wondering why immigration status is not an issue for family courts, even the attorney generals office says he falls under immigrations jurisdiction and they can’t do anything about the social security fraud or tax evasion. He is not a U.S citizen. So basically illegal immigrants don’t have to abide my U.S. law.
