This is the WORST court period. The judges, lawyers all party together and are in each other’s back pockets. The facts don’t matter. What the child wants doesn’t matter. it’s not about the facts or children’s well-being. It’s about what lawyer you have that whispers into their ears better. It’s about who you know. Narcissists and their flying monkeys find lots of success here. Beware.

People we need to stop this anti American family court. They follow no laws and will tell you to your face your rights don’t matter, it’s a pack you go against cps county attorney the judge will do or give them unlimited time, they can miss return dates on motions. The child attorney will pretend she on your side but if after 4 court dates county don’t oppose your motion they sure will. They don’t act under best for child. And if you do what they ask and pass they still don’t give peoples kids back. We need to come together for our kids. I know a couple like to drink a little on weekends and I mean very little cps came smelled alcohol on there breath and removed kids. I don’t understand how no one has shot any of them. We have a right to raise our kids by law we have to provide minimum care. Kids have a right to be raised by bad parents most of them do amazing in life.

If I sign my custody over do I still have to pay child support

Valentina Marie guzman | Jul 9, 2022
Paul Siepmann | Jul 9, 2022

You need to consult with an attorney and shouldn't consider my answer as legal advice specific to you but rather as general information. In general, parents are legally obligated to support their children. That obligation only ceases if parental rights are terminated in a proceeding initiated by the County or the child is adopted. The other parent may agree not to seek support if you conceed sole custody to them, but that agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law as the obligation of support is owed to the child not the other parent.

Thank you George. Unfortunately I can’t afford for attorneys anymore. I go to court almost every year for the last 12 years and nothing is done. My ex- husband doesn’t follow stipulation of agreement and still have the courage to take me to court for anything. Very exhausting.

How to disestablish paternity. The man on the birth certificate is not the biological father and he wants to be removed. He doesn't want to do a DNA test. What do I need to do to get this moving so I can petition the real father?

Irina | Oct 7, 2021
George Pammer | Oct 7, 2021

Paternity will be analyzed by several factors, most importantly the age if the child and the relationship between the supposed father and the child. A DNA test may be required by the Court. This is a fact specific question and you should contact an attorney.

why havent I received any offset on my case for the past 4 years? they keep telling me the same line everytime i called child support. how is he getting away with not filing taxes and he owns a home and 2 cars but no known employer.

Julissa lizzete Colato | Oct 7, 2021
Kerri Flanagan | Oct 7, 2021

You can go there. If he ordered to pay, you have options. You have to file a violation of a court order and you can file it urgently and be heard by Monday. They will set up a phone call. They basically brushed my case off but maybe you'll have better luck. Theyre not going to do it for you, you have to take the trip. They are also inundated with cases. Good luck!

What can I do if I am sick on the day of my hearing

John Perez | Oct 7, 2020
Sharon Hendricks | Oct 7, 2020

Depends if you have an attorney call them and request they appear in court and request an adjournment. If you don't try and call the court clerk or look up the fax number of the judge and write a letter explaining your sick and request an adjournment. The judge's clerk will get that letter to the judge. Remember that it also depends what court you have a hearing in. Is it criminal, civil, traffic or family.
