Want list of Dead beat dads in Escambia county?

I think there should be a list of dead beat dads in escambia county. I also think that their pictures and the amount they owe should be put on the bill boards like they to for criminals on hwy 29 in Pensacola, Florida.

I also believe that the treats should stop and more action taken. I can remember when you use to see one person for your case as in: Food stamps, wic, housing and child support enforcement now you don't you have to see so many different people the case gets lost and the action gets slower and slower and the child is the one who suffers.

I also feel that dead beat moms should be added to that list and anyone who lies under oath or can prove they are defrauding the system should also be locked up asap just as the dead beat dads and moms should be.

Will there ever be a solution to this problem? Only when action is taken put some of the people out of work and let them help in tracking these people down! Or help in processing paper work!

Can a mother take children from a father and keep them at her parents' house before custody has been issued?

if you have not taken care of what you need to in court then you cant you can get chaged with kidnapping!by the why if the kids are in no danger then its not good to take them away a child needs there dad as much as there mom!so if theres any way you can fix what ever happend between you and your hosben and still be friends for kids or kid that would be the best way to do it!!!! * If no court order of custody has been granted the law presumes both parents share equal custody rights. The mother can take the children to live at another residence that is not out of state but she cannot refuse the father the right for equal time with the children. If the father were to take the children to his in state residence with the knowledge of the mother then parental kidnapping or abduction is not applicable.

Will an ex-wife lose benefits from her ex-husband if she remarries?

Yes, and in a growing number of states, when she just lives with the man.

it depends. if this is military. and the court awards you retirement pension you will receive this for the rest of your life plus COLA (cost of living allowances) and you can remarry. cause it is awarded as martial property ...meaning it is yours .

So you get it until he dies. or you.

The alimony maybe different based on orders. in most if you remarry yes.

child support no...but also maybe if the judge says once you receive the award it maybe diminshed or in most cases if you are awarded permanent alimony then you receive it until you remarry.

the former spouses act protects this and awards it as marital property so he can't cancel it. it is your income for the time you served to the service under him as sponsored in many case some of the wives are also service members or government contractors and benefits are only given under this sponsorship so it is only right that you receive a retirement pension from the government cause you earned it.

And in most cases it is not easy to have a retirement cause he or she controls the finances and they might be bad and take from yours. so in all if you want to remarry you can cause it is your retirement and not his. just make sure the second husband or wife is having their own and they are not aloud unless it is for children etc. or it is better to get life insurance .and put them on beneficiary

Can you file for custody of your grandson without a lawyer and what if any are the procedures for filing child abandonment charges?

this you can do by your self, go to the court house and file for custody of the child and then go to a lawyer, your'll need them then. The procedure is to file for guardianship of a minor, custodial issues pertain to biological parents. Filing for guardianship is not a complicated process. Contact the clerk of the family or domestic relations court in your county, or simply call the information number of the county court. Abandonment laws are established by individual states, most states only consider abandonment when a minor child has been left w/o adult supervision in an environment that constituted physical endangermnent. The judge may allow such an issue addressed at the guardianship hearing, or you can contact state social services for more specific information.

What are the grounds for a child custody change?

As part of a divorce proceeding the court makes a decision about custody if the parents cannot reach an agreement. If one parent has custody, and the other parent feels that there is a major problem, they must go back to court and provide evidence that the custodial parent is unfit and the custody should be changed. A parent can lose custody and even visitation rights at the judges discretion, depending on the evidence presented including:

  • a drug/alcohol problem that they cannot get under control
  • proof that the child is being neglected repeatedly (no food, left unsupervised, left in the presence of someone who is abuseive/neglectful)
  • proof that the parent is a risk to the child (charged with risk of injury)
  • proof that the parent is physically or sexually abusive
  • proof that the parent left the child with someone who is physically/sexually abusive.
  • if the parent is living or married to a registered sex offender (depending on circumstances)

Some things however are more difficult to prove than others. If the parent was caught with illegal narcotics in the house with the children in the house, that is almost always custody change. The arresting officer is required by law in such cases to notify child protective services. Once they are notified they can take the children and if the other parent does not take custody they will hold the children in foster care. Often they will assign temporary custody to the other parent until they can win permanent custody in court.

Keep in mind that what you may think is unfit may not be the same to someone else. The court will decide. Unfit is usually indicated by inadequate supervision, negligence of hygiene and diet, not getting immunizations, abuse or neglect and it has to be a demonstrated PATTERN - not an isolated event unless that is very serious.

Mom never goes after chld support 17-year-old wants to go after her fathers child support can she?

You should speak to a social worker at the Family Court in your area. Go down to the court and speak to someone at the desk at the court. Tell them about your situation and that your mother has not been willing to pursue a child court order in the past. You are entitled to support from your father. Perhaps the court could help you get some support from him that you can use toward college expenses. You must obtain a court order for support so you need advice from the court on how you can proceed.

Can you stop your 15-year-old from moving in with his father if you have joint custody and the father has a criminal record?

My mom was able to get a restraining order on my father when i was 15 and i wasn't allowed to see him because he had a criminal record. i swear it's possible. however if u have jiont coustody i can't tell u. but, if u really want to keep ur kid, i would look into getting a restraining order against ur ex for the child. but when ur child is 18 like me he/she may decide to visit ur ex and that would be ok even if u have a restraining order for them. it didn't stop me. so it'll be tuff.

The criminal record is not relevant to this issue. Ex-criminals are considered fit parents unless proved otherwise.

Sex-offenders would be an exeption, but if that were the case you'd be very unlikely to have been awarded joint custody so we assume the justice system has considered his record and found it not relevant to your custody arrangement. Given the age of the child it would be difficult to oppose the change in arrangements. Courts will apply a sliding scale and as the child approaches adulthood the wishes of the child are taken more into account. Fifteen is pretty mature.

If it went to court you would need to prove that the move is not in the best interests of the child and in that regard the character and parenting ability of the father would be relevant. But if he has served his time the criminal record isn't going to help.

If no paternity has been established and neither party has done anything about this does the father have any rights?

The person that the women states is the father has rights until otherwise proven. If the father does not feel the child is his he needs to get a test done. The father though needs to realize that he should also take on the finanical part that he and the mother agrees to. Paternity tests can be done though online companys that will send you everything you need with instructions. The results can be received from there website. They can also find a lab within their own town that will do the test, but they are more expensive than the ones you can order. If either parent has any doubt they need to get this done as soon as possible so it will be less painful when they results come back.

Bring documentation of the layoff to court with you and any documentation you have filed for unemployment. Bring proof of any income you have coming in.

The court can make temporary orders that will stay in place until your situation improves and you can afford to pay more.

What is the time frame for child abandonment so father can gain full custody?

A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.

In what states can parents give their child a handgun?

It depends on how old the child is and what you mean by "give." In the U.S. a person has to be 21 or older to own or purchase a handgun, but people under 21 can possess handguns for various legal activities, for instance, target shooting or hunting.

Why doesn't Florida change the rules If a dad does not pay child support he should not get visitation rights especially if he never visits the child Florida laws are bad for kids?

you have no idea how many times these rules are reversed, father's paying and not getting to see the children. your concern should be for the best interest of the children. they deserve to have a relationship with their father. If the father is blatantly not seeing the children over a period of time, file a motion to modify the visitation schedule and a motion for contempt, for nonpayment of support. you see, this is not a moral question but a legal one.

You want to keep seeing your child and pay child support even after 18 years old?

Keep seeing is dependent of the age of majority in the specific state. Though some states require child support until age 21, in the others, it would be voluntary.
