Is it legal for a step parent to pick up a child from daycare on non custodial days of their spouse without permission from the other parent?

The answer can vary depending on the state.

If it is a non custodial day, but the parent that had custody that asked them to, and they are on the daycare's pick up list, it should be fine.

If the parent that had custody that day did not give prior permission, or make the request of the step parent, it could potentially be interfering with child custody.

The rules of child custody can vary a lot, not only per state, but also per case. A lot can come down to who your judge is. Your best bet is to contact your family attorney, and fill him or her in on everything that happened.

Is a child in underwear classed as child nudity?

Children in underwear can be classified as child nudity, even if the images are not sexually explicit in nature. However, possessing the more innocent pictures, such as in a family album, will not get you arrested.

Is it illegal to post imagery of children without the sole custodial parents consent?

The non-custodial parent should absolutely not post photos of the child on the internet. That is an important decision that should be left up to the parent with legal custody. The internet is a site for child predators and many parents wouldn't even consider posting their children's photos online. Also, the child may not be happy to see their photos online when they grow older.

If a debt is owed to the state for back child support can filing bankruptcy settle this debt?

No....that debt is not dischargeable in BK, (as asked and answered at least a zillion times here already). And many, many methods are available to collect it that aren't avail to other debts. It will be paid. Oh, it isn't just a debt to the State....it's too your kids...not only are you a degenerate deadbeat dad, and require others to support your kids (likely in ways other than financial)...you are a deadbeat to society, requiring the State to pay your personal obligations. DON'T LIKE IT...TOUGH...IT'S BOTH TRUE AND THE WAY MANY OF THE NON DEGENERATES, who take care of their own responsibilities and can stand by their own actions, (which clearly you didn't and still don't). THEY ARE PROBABLY WELL JUSTIFIED IN THINKING IT IS A PITY YOU ACTUALLY HAD THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE TOO.... Again, don't like it...TOUGH.....DEADBEAT DAD KINDA' LOSSES ANY RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION ARGUMENT AT THE START. Pay your child support.

Is state or federal prison likely for a dead beat dad?

"Dead beat Dads" are usually in default of child support payments which are determined by a state court. If they fail to pay them they are in contempt of court. If they are sent to jail or prison for this they would be headed for a state facility since it is in violation of a state court order, not a federal one. Sending a Dead beat Dad to prison, however, guarantees that those payments will then never be made, and the dead beat receives 3 square meals a day, free lodging, free clothing, free ... everything ... at taxpayers expense. Sending these people to prison is not the answer ... they need to be forced to work somehow.

In Texas how can estranged adult children of first marriage be sure their rights are protected upon the death of their father?

At the death of the father the adult child or children can file a claim against the estate with the probate court. Bear in mind that Texas is a community property state, that being the case the majority of marital property is automatically awarded to the current spouse if the father dies intestate. If there is a Will the "right of election" is in force and the terms of the Will dictate distribution for any separately held property. Almost any Will can be contested, however, it is generally an expensive and lengthy process to do so.

Are black swallowers dangerous to people?

What rights does a father have if he has never paid child support and hasnt seen his child in 13 months?

Child support and visitation are separate issues and visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support. He has the right to petition the court for visitation and custody as well as the responsibility to pay child support. The courts encourage the involvement of both parents in the child's life.

If the parents are not married the father may need to establish his paternity before petitioning for visitations or custody.

Can your mother get in trouble for receiving child support for you in Texas while you are living in Missouri?

There are no applicable laws in any state that says the person receiving the child support must be actually spending the money on the child, so no. However, it could be addressed as an issue of abandonment of the child if the mother is in Texas and the child is in Missouri.

Does college tuition count as child support?

Child support must be paid as set forth in the child support order. In many cases, college tuition is addressed separately as per agreement or part of a court order. If it is not, the obligor cannot choose to pay some other expense and then deduct it from the amount owed for child support. The obligee must pay the child support amount to the custodial parent unless the parties have an agreement in writing that provides otherwise. You should review the child support order and any agreements that were entered by the court in your case.

Typically is a noncustodial parent required to pay for half of braces?

In very basic terms the noncustodial parent is only required to pay child support and for the child's needs when in their care so no legally does not need to pay half of anything else the custodial parent wants for their child but morally does your child need braces because of medical reasons (as apposed to cosmetic reasons)? Can the other parent not afford them by themselves? This is your decision unless the custodial parent went through their lawyers to see if they could get a court order to get you to pay but I dont think that would happen as that costs a lot of money in itself.

How to Request change of venue in district court?

You have to file a written notice of motion to the court for an order granting a change in venue to another county. Check with the Clerk of the court in which your action is pending for the rules of procedure making motions in general and motions for changes in venue in particular. You will most likely have to at the very least file an affidavit showing facts that prove that you will not be able to receive a fair hearing in the present county of venue.

This is generally not an easy thing to do since changes in venue are usually based on advance adverse publicity so pervasive it would prevent a jury from the area from giving an unbiased verdict. If this is a child support matter (since that is the original category) there is no jury involved. Thus you would probably have to prove that there is something within that county's court system that would prevent you from getting an unbiased ruling.

How would a father give up his paternal rights to the mother?

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Do you have the right as a noncustodial parent to put your child up for adoption?

Not without the other parent agreeing to the relinquishment of his or her parental rights as well. Any parent can file for the voluntary termination of parental rights. It is the judge's decision whether it will be granted, and if so, to what extent. A TPR is not a legal instrument to be used as a way for a parent to be relieved of their responsibilities to their minor child or children.

How to Stop your child from sticking tongue out?

Hard as it may sound, get up and walk away when they do it, or at very least frown and look away. Do not reward it by giving verbal attention, even negative verbal attention.
