What is the BEST way to track a dead beat dad when you've already gone to the county child support services? My child resides in California and the so called dad AKA sperm donor now lives in Florida which I had to find out through the medical insurance company - info was given to me by mistake. Not completely but enough for me to know he's moved out of the state he originally lived. The child support services doesn't even know where he's currently living or working at so their a dead end to me. I'm not sure who to contact in Floria to get me help or where to start looking. Any suggestions anyone or suggest a website that allows you to look at other details at NO CHARGE to us? Thank you.

Custody and Child support in Florida? I want to file a custody agreement between me and the father of my child so none of us can run off with our son. If we make a custody agreement and have it filed, would he have to pay child support if we do this? We live in Broward County, Florida.

Does anyone know how Florida approaches and deals with non payment of child support? My husband finally got his ex served for child support. The first payment was due in April and she did not pay.

Where do i go in volusia county to file for child support when i have an active case in anothet state?

Where is that legal form for stop payment of child support in Florida? My ex-wife has agreed to have me stop making child support payments. I have been paying arrears for years and the (2) children are grown with children of their own. She has agreed to have me stop paying any longer. The divorce was in Florida, she lives in Alabama, and I live in Mass. I have searched the Fl., law library on line and cannot find the proper form. I need them to send to her to fill out and send to Fl. Neither of us can afford an attorney or to go to Fl. We were told by the clerks office in the county where the child support originated that we could find the forms on line but that is all the info they would give me. I can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know the exact form I need and an adress where to find it. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Is it the ammends form? The only one I found is to decrease or increase payments. I found nothing for stopping it all together. Desparate!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I apply for sole legal and physical custody of my child in Osceola County, Florida? Please read details? My ex-husband and I were divorced in California and were granted 50/50 custody by the court in 2007. Our divorce was official in 2008. I have since gained permission to move to Florida (April 2008). I have now been living in Florida for over a year and have been the sole sole provider and decision-maker for my 5 year old. My ex was never given an order to pay child support, but has been sending me 1/2 of my child's monthly tuition every month for her private school. He has not paid for the last 3 months and hardly ever sees my child. How do I go about going to court now that I am a Florida resident? I already do everything that the sole parent does, legally and physically. How do I make it official? Also, our custody deal was kind of shady because of our "mediator" in California. There, they believe that unless the other parent is a complete crackhead then you should have 50/50 custody. I have been the sole caretaker of my child since birth. I kept track on a calendar of all the days I had my child for the mediator and my lawyer ( which was equal to more than 75%) and the mediator said, "It's great that he allows you extra parenting time on his days." What a fricken load of BS! How about, "Wow, you really don't take care of your child, so she should just live with her mother." Even when my ex and I separated in 2006, I took full responsibility for my child and kept my child with me (with no support from my ex). He has always been pretty much a deadbeat when it comes to parenting. He has not done anything illegal, but does not give my child the support needed...even though he has a decent guaranteed paycheck in the military. He does not agree, so I know I will have to go to court. I am pretty proficient with paperwork after spending a lot of time in the military doing legal work, so I would like to get a jump start on the actual paperwork myself. I found with my divorce that when I filled out all the paperwork by myself and then took it to a lawyer for review, I saved a ton of money. All right, enough bashing. I got married in Aviano, Italy while I was in the military. Got pregnant, and we got stationed in California. After going to war for my country in Iraq and Afghanistan while my husband stayed home behind his cushy military office chair, I came home to someone who said things to me like, "Don't try to hold the baby, she doesn't love y ou anyways because you left her." Now, the whole 9 months I was away my mother had my child in another state for 4 months, his mother had her in a different state for 4 months, and my ex actually had her for the month just before I came home. All this because he couldn't take care of her between all of his partying and compulsive gambling. I was making extra money while I was away for combat pay and payed ALL the bills, not to mention ordering baby formula, toys, bath soap, and clothes online for my child while I was away because he couldn't bring his lazy butt to do it himself. Then I got out of the military to take care of our child better because my deployments were too much for HIM to handle. So I became a full-time student, held a full-time job, and was a full-time mom. During this time, my ex would leave from work on a Friday afternoon, head to the casino, and we wouldn't see him come home until 8 or 9 am Saturday morning. When I finally confronted him, I got pushed down the stairs in front our then 2 year old. The time after that, I ended up with a black eye from him head-butting me while I was holding our child. So I tried to call the cops and he grabs the phone from me and tells the cops I'm crazy and that I HIT HIM! The cops got there just as I was packing up all of mine and my child's things and told him he was full of crap. They stayed there until I packed everything, and I got my own apartment that day. He agreed to let me come to Florida when I had a huge job opportunity here. I have since been laid off. Javier, that's great that things worked out for you...and if my ex was involved in my daughter's life I would be more than happy to let him be a part of it. However, I had a father just like him who beat the crap out of my mom, but never so much as spanked me. It's still not healthy. I have done everything to accomodate him since I moved. I have allowed my child to go back to California on MY DIME to see him when she didn't have school. I video tape her and take pictures and she talks to him more than 3 times a week. I have made sure she would be available to him whenever she is not in school, but he does not always take the opportunity. The only time he comes to see her is when the military puts him in a class in Orlando so he doesn't have to pay for it. Longbrownhair, I'm not asking for tuition payments. HE insisted that she goes to private school because he doesn't trust public schools. And the 1/2 tuition payment he makes monthly is about $300 LESS than what he would pay monthly in child support! If you would have read the rest of the details, you would see that I have made her as available as possible to him and that HE WILLINGLY let her move. You would have also read that he is abusive and a compulsive gambler. That is a great life for a kid, isn't it? She also has a father-figure in her life which my ex is fine with...he has been with me and around my daughter since she was 2 1/2. I grew up in the same situation that my daughter is going through now. I know what it's like without hearing about what some left-wing liberal psychologist has to say. I went through the experience at the same age as her, and I was not damaged by it. Once I was a teen and tried to hang out with my dad, I realized that he really was a deadbeat.

How do I enforce a child support order? (Interstate order)? I live in Mississippi and my ex-husband lives in Hillsborough County, Florida. He has been gone and has not seen his daughter since September 2006. I have a court order that states that he needs to pay $210 a month plus an additional $100 for arreages. This court order was created in 2007 and our divorce was finalized in 2008. I spoke with my case worker in Mississippi and she said that the amount could not be changed to reflect the additional year of 2008 in the arrearages. Mississippi has turned the case over to Florida, but still, NO RESULTS!!!!! When I spoke with child support in Florida, they said it could take up to a year. I am working 4 jobs and it is not fair to me or my daughter. What can I do, I am at my wit's end. I just can't continue to do this much longer. Thanks for your responses and God Bless!

How do I collect child support from a father who is hiding? I have 2 daughters who I have established paternity for and also a child support order for. Their father has left my state of Florida and relocated to San Bernadino County California. He has married and had another child. I know that he is in that general area. How can I collect the Child Support that he is ordered to pay?

Can someone please advise me on how to collect child support? My husband's ex-wife left his 2 small children on our doorstep 12 years ago when they were only 3 and 4 1/2 years old. The court custody papers say that my husband has sole custody and in addition to the support payments his ex must pay, she must also pay for 1/2 of all doctor bills (both kids are insulin dependent diabetics which is a very expensive disease). She has NEVER made a single payment...in 12 years! Is there anything we can do now to collect some of the money owed? Our oldest is going to college in the fall and HE could use the extra capital. We live in Palm Beach County, Florida. I appreciate any and ALL answers.

TX Child Support Revisement served to me-custodial parent. He made False Allegations & trying to stop paying!!? Hello everyone, Ok, in Feb 09' my sons father ( we were never married ) & I settled at mediation after I filed for child support at Attorney General office -Texas. The order gave him visitation rights for every other weekend. he worked offshore for many weeks to months at a time and rarely saw him living 5 miles apart. I as custodial parent had No Geographical Restrictions. So, when I was offered a job in Florida, I leaped with faith and moved with my son. I abided by all the instructions given by Attorney Generals office, changing employer info & changed of residence info to state case registry and attorney general office. I sent him a certified letter stating that I was moving to Florida, in which he received prior to me knowing my actual physical address since i was unsure if I got the place I was looking into. So the certified letter just said the city & states I was moving to. Yet, once it was confirmed I got the place I wrote it down for him, along with my employer, on a piece of paper while I went to his home to let him visit with my son. Now he has used that against me stating that I never gave him the address of where I was living. Which is false because he knows the address, my employer address and telephone #, and my sons daycare info.It was a quick move so I could give much notice but I did as much as I could with the time allowed. He is claiming that he doesnt know if I carry insurance for our son since he is ordered to pay for the insurance, yet I gave him the original insurance card & I use an old issued one. He is throwing so many allegations, from me being intimate with someone else, to talking bad about him in front of our son, to consuming alchohol & using drugs. I am barely getting settled in Florida & have a 3 year old, how can I date? Either way we arent together, so I can never move on & get involved in a relationship? I have no reason to talk bad about him in front of my son, since he is never around nor calls so I have nothing to say about him! The big whoop is that do not even drink! I There is so much more but my main concern is that I opened a case in Florida for child support & it is still in the process. State of Tx recommended I opened a case in Florida since I resided there so if we had to go to court he would have to go to Florida versus me going to Texas. Since he complained about the drive and never offered to go to Florida, I came to visit family for my sons birthday and allowed my son to stay the night with his father since we were in town & he hadn't seen him. When I go to retrieve him, that is when they give me these legal forms for modification of our child support order! It hurst because I was trying to be kind and let my son see his father because i want him so much to be a part of my sons life since I did not have my father in mine. Yet, he does this. He is selfish and a very sneaky con, has a way withwords and I have always been threatened by him since he financially is set, he makes 4 times as much as me yet is never in town, works offshore months at a time! He can afford an attorney, I cannot. Is there court appointed attorney for revisements and modifications such as these? How long can I delay this since I live out of town & just started a new job in Florida ( a big part of the reason why I moved) and I cannot risk taking off work. How can I defend myself? What should I do to proove these allegations are false? Since it is my word against his & he has $$ for a lawyer. He wants to make me move back to his county, if not make me pay for the visitation trips, which HE is suppose to in our original order.How can I avoid both Geographical restrictions on myself & paying for his visit. He also is trying to stop or decrease child support, which just was issued 10 months ago! He makes $5000 monthly salary! He has 3 vehicles he owns! Dirt bikes, 2 laptops, iphone & garage full of toys for himself! Yet, he cannot send his own 99.99% son funds for his childcare. How can I prevent him from decreasing and or stopping the support payments? Is it standard for them to issue. He is also asking that I pay him child support?? My son lives with me? Why are they ordering I pay child support? I am so confused with all this and do not know my legal rights. I financially cannot afford an attorney. What is standard and protocol for a child support revisement? What chances are ther that he can get away with these false statements? I am morally too kind hearted and gullable and just do not want to believe someone could be so mean. How do I protect myself and my son! I do not want to risk his father getting custody because of his word against mine & him being more financially stable than me. Please help & THANKS SOOOO MUCH for your time. Take Care & God Bless!

How Can I Go About Suing For Overdue Child Support? My birth certificate states that I have no father (it has a bunch of Xs). Through Accurint.com, I've found his social security number and address and home telephone number. He resides in Edgewater, Volusia County, FL. I reside in Buffalo, Erie County, NY. and I am a 21-year-old male university student. My mother and I have not received any child support from him at all. He left when I was born and my mother did not know his social security number, just his previous address and that he moved to the state of Florida. I believe that he will have to submit to a paternity test in order to prove that he is indeed my father. How can I go about ordering this via court? What is the next step that I need to take now that I have all this information on him? Thank you!

I have just filed for CHILD SUPPORT, Can anyone share the process with me? I just filed for Child Support, my ex is living in Florida i am in Michigan. The Child was born in Oakland County Michigan, so ive spoke to a child support specialist and he found a address for him in Florida and said he is forwarding my info over the Prosecuting attorney. Now once the PA has it what going on from there. I mean i know my ex don't have the $$$$, nor the $$$ to come up here to court. So what does he have to be present in court for this or can they send him papers down there to sign and send back? Please explain to me in as much detail as possible.. I haven't a clue what the process is. Angela - You go girl!!! You are very right. But for one as the first loser said, you take his child away from him... No i did not, i was with my ex for 3 years, my son was born and BAM he changed, used to verbally abuse me, started doing drugs, drank himself tell he past out daily... Caught him one time and one time only is all it took, he hit my 10 month old son wiht a wooden stick across his back " becuase daddy told him no no" So i left him, hes useless, doesnt want a kid at all. So i left him, and hes a dead beat... short story but as angela said ppl need to mind there own business and read all of the story and not assume everyone is the same.

Best way to request a judge to issue a bench warrant? (Palm Beach County, FL):? Ex is going to court for FTA. Original appearance was required for suspended driver's license. License was suspended for failure to pay support. Apparently child support docs were not listed to require a warrant if my ex was contempt. He went to jail 2 days ago for the failure to appear and will hopefully show up for the next scheduled court date. Is there a way to submit a request to the judge for a bench warrant to be issued once he appears before the judge? And is this appropriate? Is seems that the suspended license does not truly enforce the support payer to pay their unpaid support... Note: Court ordered support is issued from a different Florida county. Thank you, in advance, for any advice you have to offer! I live out of state now. Uncertain if legal aid will assist me due to being out of state & uncertain if they would be able to do it prior to the court date. Please just answer: 1) How do you make a request to a judge for a bench warrant 2) Is it appropriate to make this type of request to the judge? Thanks again!

Child support modification help needed!!!? My finace and I were living in Florida about a year ago. We have a child together and we are now living in Missouri. While we were still in florida he finalized his divorce and started paying around 450 dollars a month in child support for one child age 11. We moved to Missouri back to my parents house because we werent able to afford that payment and the cost of living in Orlando. So, my fiance got a job making around 12 dollars and hr, about 200 less a month than before we moved to missouri and still paid the 450 dollars a month. Now he has been laid off from that job as of a few days ago. He was able to scramble up a job only paying 9 dollars an hour for the time being. There is no way we can keep up with that payment. His ex wife quit her job over the summer that paid over 20 dollars an hour to have a baby with her new husband so she is not working at all as far as I know. I know that Florida is still in charge of the child support modification since it was established there, BUT my questions are , how do we attend any kind of court hearing to have it modified if we cant afford to fly down there? Or miss work to take the time off to go down there. We are barely hanging on as it is. Will they make a decision whether we are there or not? How does this work? Do I need to go to my county in Missouri for assistance with this matter? And also have we had a big enough chang in income to have it modified? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Oh and also the mother and the child still live in Florida. I dont know if that matters but thought I would add in that detail. @ George: He didnt voluntarily take a pay reduction, he was laid off from his job a few days ago, and he was able to get a lower paying job. Unless you are talking about when we moved t MO. then yes he took a pay reduction but that no longer matters I wouldnt think since he was laid off from that job now??

Is my ex-wife entilted to back child support if she closed the child support case and re-opened it again? My ex-wife recently re-opened an old child support case that she has opened and closed over the last 7 years. When she re-opened the case back in October of 2010, she requested back child support from August 2003 and never requested back child support when she re-opened the case in the past. Because she never had the county leger canceled, the state of Florida is stating that I owe her over $44000 since August of 2003. Is she entitled to this money even thou she has closed this case twice in the past. Also apart of our divorce agreement, we have shared custody which means no child support was needed or agreed upon.

Is it legal in Florida to move to another county without any notice with joint custody? My boyfriend ends up finding out his ex moved to another county from his daughter that lives 50/50 time with both parents. She is now in a home with 4 adults and 3 other children. So 8 people in a 3 bedroom house! His daughter is sharing a room with her soon to be step sibling, while her mother, her mothers boyfriend, their daughter together and his son with his ex sleep in another room. Now, from what his daughter says BM says "she cant afford the rent" so they have to move to her boyfriends parents house. Now what I want to know is where is the child-support that is to care for his daughter while in care of her mother and why isn't BM boyfriend helping out financially. My stomach is just in knots over this whole situation. I do believe in the county we live in, you are suppose to give notice to the court if you are moving and have to ask the court if you can move to another county!

He has already sold two houses in Florida--the judgements are in New York. I've tried to contact the county he lives in and they tell me they have no clue on how to enforce it.

Divorce Options, can't afford a lawyer, imputed income,? I need random advice so here is the situation. (Just a disclaimer: I had my own money that I supported my wife with while she was building her career, two days after she got to where she wanted to be and my money was gone she wanted a divorce.) But here it is My wife and I had a kid, I had just started a new job and made 40k a year. I left my job for a few reason but mostly cause I knew my wife couldn't handle the mother thing. I got a job offer and we both agreed that I would stay home with our child till it came through. A year pasted the offer was recinded. She wanted a divorce, I caught her cheating, so I file for it with what little money I had. I had to move to another county in Florida with our child. At mediation, they argued for my income to be imputed at 40k, which I argued against while my lawyer sat there. They ended up imputing at minimum wage. A year has pasted since mediation and we still cannot come to a finalized agreement concerning child support. Since, she has given me sole custody and only wants to see our son 1.5 days a month with 9 days over the holiday season and no other holidays. I have been looking for work for the past year, even in jobs that do pay close to minimum wage but in my field of study, taking care of my son full-time during the day and working on a masters degree at night. While living at my fathers house and I really have no child care help from family members. So I started my son in a part-time daycare, after a year of being home with me he needed it of socialization skills and learning experiences. In the mean time she has received a 16k a year raise, her lawyer let her calculate her new child support payments which came out to like $36 dollars extra a month. I received an email from my lawyer stating that they have filed a counter petition for divorce, are trying to impute income, and probably going to take me through the mediation process again in a county my son nor I live in. My question is, will the court impute income on the basis on what i made for 8 mths 3 yrs ago and because of my education by saying I'm underemployed or willfully unemployed? -Considering the state of the economy there are no jobs in my area I qualify for, companies are requiring years of experience I don't have then even with all the years of experience they are paying close to minimum wage. What happens if I can no longer afford my lawer do I just get screwed over? I live in another county with my son and have for the past year, can I file for child support in my current county even if the divorce has not been finalized? Thank you for any responses.

My ex-husband has been arrested in Florida as a fugitive in Virginia. Will he be extradited back to Virginia? I think the charge is felony child support, he owes my children 32000 dollars in arrears. I can't find out for sure if that is the charge that they are holding him for. He also has a felony charge in another county for embezzelment. He was arrested in Florida on April 7 and has been there for 2 weeks now. I just want to know if he will be extradited and when. Even if the charge is not for the child-support I may be able to at least see him in court if he is brought back to Virginia.

My question is about Fathers rights in Florida and how to implement visitations when the father is paying.? The father is paying child support and can only see the child when convenient for the mother. She ignores phone calls and refuses to allow him to see the child when she feels it is inconveint for her. She agrees to certain dates and then retracts her statements. He has been paying child support and has attempted to set dates when he can see the child which sometime works and other times it does not. All parties live in florida with about a 4 hour drive time between the primary and secondary parents. How does the father go about getting court ordered visitations without a lawyer in osceola county? I have seen alot of information on the web about beginning with a letter of intent to exercise visitations and a letter of intent to exercise parental rights. Other information on myflorida.com has suggested writing up a parenting plan that lays out how he desires to set up visitations but I wish someone would simply give a step by step process on what to do? It seems like there is no information out there about this and the situation is getting worse. It needs to be solved ASAP and I really need help.....Any suggestions??? Please help!

If a father doesn't sign the birth certificate, is the mother allowed to move to a new county? Ok, here is my problem. I have a 3 year old daughter. Back in 2008 hurricane fay hit Florida and my area which was near Tallahassee was under a warning. I went into labor at 8 1/2 months with her. My 4 yr old daughter at the time, ex boyfriend or my unborn daughter's father and myself was told to head to the hostipal. I was admitted but due to the storm coming in they were worried I wouldn't make it back in, if my waters broke or contractions got stronger and closer together. So after I had my daughter the next day, my now ex went to check on my daughter who had spent the nite at his mothers house since the hostipal told us that she couldn't stay there with us. A nurse came in to get infomation for the birth certificate. I informed her the father was checking on my other daughter and she then in turn told me that I must get the information done that day or it would be a week before I could get it in again. And she told me I must have the information in according to state law or I couldn't take my daughter home. I called my now ex and informed him of this and he said go ahead and do it. He will worry about it later. Well I signed it and she is listed as having no father. Well after talking to child support and other people including a lawyer, we were informed it would cost us an arm and a leg to get his name on the record. Now the problem is, since i filed for welfare due to a disability, they wanted a father for my youngest. At the time we stated who is was but then Child Support got invovled and demanded that I file for support on my now ex because he was "Being an unfit father and a dead beat" and I later told them he was helping care for her. I was living with and still am. Now 3 yrs later we aren't together and I am planning to move. I'm moving 5 1/2 hours away to another county and I want to know since he's not on her record, can I legally take her? The problem is the home is unsafe,and im getting some many stories I don't know which to believe. Some say yes I can since she has no legal father and he has no rights since he didn't sign and although he say he's the dad he doesn't have DNA proof. And others are saying i must get written consent and that he has rights even though not on paper. And lastly my friend who works for a sheriffs department says that by law I can take her with me, since I am not court ordered to pay child support, nor is my now ex, since it is not court ordered for him to be on the record and since he is legally not bound to her i can. He would have to go to court file for a DNA test, wait on results and the go from there. She also said that since i had custody, full custody of my daughter that my now ex would have to pay back 3 yrs child support and keep paying till he gets temp custody. He has already told me he doesn't want to do child support and would rather just do visitation on weekends and his days off. So anyone minding helping me out? I live in Florida if that helps. And so sorry this is long but wanted to give details on this! Ok, I don't know our laws here but I do know he can't afford to do court, which is why he just wants visitation. I am just curious because our home is unsafe. Would it cost anything to file for custody? I know i have full custody now of them both according to what the child support office said. I am just unsure about the custody issues is all. Like I said he didn't sign and I have been since then stating that the father is unknown since we cant afford to get it signed for him.. As for my daughter, I am not looking to give her to him. I don't want to give up my rights to her at all! I don't mind supervisted vistiation but I dont want him to have custody of her since he has anger issues. I am just trying to figure out since he never signed the her birth certificate and since he hasn't done anything to help other than diapers. She is on medicaid and foodstamps, I pay for everything else to be honest. He only gets diapers. Literally i cover the cost for everything else. Do I have to worry about him trying to take her if I opt to move. Since the home is unsafe.

Non custodial Parent Rights? I need help… My husband has three children from a previous marriage. They are 17, 11, and 4 years of age. He is and has always been a very big part of their lives. She has custody of them – not sure if it is sole or joint – he is very unclear of this. We all live in the same county of Hernando here in Florida. She is now looking to move to Palm Beach with her boyfriend (who she does not live with currently) which will be 4 hours away. He normally sees his children twice during the week and has them every other weekend. He has also been taking them every other holiday and keeping them an extra day or two when she visits her boyfriend in Palm Beach. He also pays child support through Florida Court. He would need to drive four hours to go get them and then four hours to bring them back to our home and of course the same thing going back. Even if she agreed to do half the trip – he feels later at some point she will stop because of how financially it will take a toll on her. Her moving all the way to Palm Beach would be a hardship for him and it will also not allow him to see his children as much as he sees them now. Can he stop her from moving all the way out there? This situation is really hurting him badly because his children are his world and the thought of losing them somewhat kills him. What can he do on his part or what can be done? What are his rights? If anyone can help me with this or knows anything of this please contact me. Thanks.

Help finding a job as an ex - felon? My dad has been to jail about three times and he needs help finding a job . He didn't go for anything serious just not paying for child support. He claims he cant find a job and i know they have programs for him . We need programs in broward county florida preferably because thats where he lives. Help ? Thanks in advance

How do I drop charges in Broward County? I seprated with my sons father and he was never abusive or anything like that but he failed to provide for his child and doesnt assist me with any financial obligations for the child. I recently began the child support paper work and made plans do move to georgia for financial stability as south florida is too expensive for me to live and support my child. I made my sons father aware of my decisions and from that point on it was constant arguements. I feared he would take the child and try preventing me from leaving to Georgia, so I was very careful of visitation and limited visitations to no overnights when he stated he would take the child and then take me to court. I didnt want to prevent him from seeing the child but limit it and monitor it and stick to a schedule. Well we had made plans for him to pick up the child on a sunday and he came to my apt on the wrong sunday. Too make a long story short ... he came over and at that time i had stepped out of the house to run errands and left my child with my sister & brother in my apt....he arrived and started knocking on the door but my siblings were aware of the situation and did not open the door. My sons father proceeded by breaking into the apartment through the window, where my brother tried forcing him out but my sons father struck my brother to enter and after shouting & quickly going through my belongings he attempted to leave with personal info i had on my desk ( copies of me and my sons ss cards & my florida id). He then opened the boxes i had packed..also 3 trash bags filled with dvds along with my son from, the apt...I arrived just as he was leaving and it lead to a messy altercation outside as he attempted to drive off...I positioned my self along the drivers side door and refused to let him leave with my son in the vehicle..he reversed the vehicle injuring my leg and nearly hitting my brother who was attempting to get his tag number for authorities. in the end police arretsed him and charged him with 5 charges. And they are very serious charges from what Ive heard. Charge # 1: BURGLARY/WITH ASSAULT OR BATTERY Charge #2:AGG BATTERY W/DEADLY WEAP DOMESTIC VIOL Charge # 3: TOUCH OR STRIKE/BATTERY Charge # 4: GRAND THEFT>$300<$5000 Charge # 5 : INTERFERE WITH CUSTODY He can not bond out because charge #1 has No Bond. Now his family members continue calling me crying and begging for me to drop the charges. They state that these are serious charges that can result in him doing 5-10 years in jail, but if i can fdrop the charges he will do atleast 1 yr -3 yrs. They say (his family) that he does deserve something for his actions but 5 yrs or more is simply too much and not fair. I do believe he needs to be accountable for his actions, but Im just so confused right now and wooried. I dont know how to go about dropping charges in the event I did would this affect me in any way?? I truely dont know what to think and i know we do stupid things at times but Im truely lost in thoughts right now.. I JUST WANT TO DO BETTER FOR ME AND MY SON. :( Also will doing so mean that they will automatically release him right then and there?

Does he have parental rights? We live in Hernando County Florida. My friend had a baby with his girlfriend.They were not married, but he is on the birth certificate. They've split up, and as far as I know, she hasn't filed for child support, and I know he hasn't filed for custody. Will they do a paternity test when he files? His ex doesn't let him see the baby unless it's conveinant to her, and she holds the baby over his head. Does he have any rights? I read somewhere that he doesn't, because they weren't married, even though he is on the birth certificate. I know you can't kid nap your own child in the state of Florida, so could she up and move, like just leave, with the baby, and he not be able to do anything because he hasn't filed for visitation or anything?

Florida judge will not let me bring my son to MS to visit. Can I sue for alienation of affection? My son told me he was molested by his father when he was 4. My ex took one lie detector test and passed, and the judge gave an order to return him to his father and that I was no longer allowed to remove him from their county. I live 11 hours away. I have gotten behind in child support due to an inability to work because of severe depression. Currently trying to get disability. I was recently arrested for back child support and they released me because of my mental condition. I go back to court in January. Do I have any rights as his mother? What can I do?

Fathers Visitation rights in Florida? My fiance has a 7 year old daughter with a woman he was never married to - in fact, their child was the result of a very brief relationship. He never wanted to be with the mother, but did want the child, so he initiated the paternity process before his daughter was born, and has paid child support since day 1 of her life (Incidentally, he pays almost as much support for his 1 child as I receive for my 3). The mother married another man shortly after the baby was born, and has since had two other children with him. My fiance's daughter calls the other man "Daddy" as well, and has expressed confusion lately about how, exactly, she has two daddies, even calling my fiance her "step-dad" and saying the other man is her "real dad." We believe she has not been told the truth by her mother, and is truly confused, so we try not to make an issue of it. I know how much it hurts my fiance's feelings, but he truly puts his own hurt aside to simply not rock the boat. My fiance never established any visitation agreement, as he was working out of the state, and at the time, the mother was pretty good about allowing him to see his daughter when he was in town. However, he is only "allowed" to see her on Sundays, he provides all transportation, and sometimes the mother changes her mind as he is on his way to pick her up, citing reasons like play dates, birthday parties, and plans with family as reasons why he can't see her. The daughter has never, in 7 years, spent the night with my fiance because in her words "mommy says I'm not ready." This man is a responsible person, a wonderful step-parent to my three children, and truly one of the best, kindest hearted people I have ever met. Not only is he losing out on valuable years with his daughter, but she is not being allowed the benefit of developing a true relationship with him (or with our family, as her step-family). If anyone could provide insight to the following questions, I would be grateful: 1) we reside in a different county than his daughter (same state). does he have to retain a lawyer in the county where she lives, or can it be where we live? 2) he travels weekly, all over the country, for work, and is frequently gone on the weekends. is this going to affect his visitation, or could I or his parents continue with the visitation schedule that is decided on? 3) would it be better for him, in the long run, to hire an attorney and go after a fair time-sharing schedule, or to propose one to the mother, first, as a plan to see if she will agree to it. then if she doesn't agree...hire an attorney? 4) forgot to mention - the mother gave the child her legal last name, which her new husband switched to, and the new siblings also have (perpetuating the confusion of how her "real" daddy fits in to her life!). how likely would it be for a court to grant a petition to change his daughter's last name to his, or to hyphenate it...adding his last name to the end of hers? Thanks for any help! Additionally, we own a home together, and have lived together for over 2 years. We have bedrooms for all 4 of the children. My 3 live live with us full time, and she would have her own space while visiting here.

Marriage laws in Florida? Okay. So, I have read over and over again that if you can prove that you have a child with the man your wanting to marry that you can obtain a marriage licance without parents permission. But I called the court house and they said you have to be eighteen or have parents permission. Im confused. Has anyone had any expericne with this. Im 17 and I have a child with my Fiance. The reason my mother wont sighn is because she doesnt want child support to stop and I'm not even living with her. So shes getting money for nothing and she wont sign. Any advice? I live in Nassau county. My dad cant sign me over because he doesnt have custody over me. My mom has full custody.

how do i get a filing fee waived? I HAVE ALREADY CALLED AND E-MAILED EVERY COUNTY AND LOCAL AGENCY. I have custody of my daughter in wisconsin, I live in florida. I am afraid my violent drug adicted ex will try to take her (for spite). I can easily get custody transfered from wisconsin to florida by filing the papers here. the problem is it costs $255.00. I am on disability and don't recieve (court ordered) child support. how do i go about filing if I can't pay this outrages fee? I AM BEGGING FOR HELP !!!!! I am in tampa, hillsborough county.

Letter to a Judge on behalf of a family member? I want to write a letter to the judge that will be overseeing my sister's case and because I am not able to travel out of state, I would like to give the judge information that she does not have, that would help my sister out. She is in a county jail in Florida and she is there because of fraudulent activity/theft but she has children and no other support. Do you have any advice in this process?

My son is going through a messy divorce and cutody battle and needs legal help? He has already paid 20K in attorney fees and 1400.00 per month child support which is half his net pay. He was forced to let go of the attorney he cant afford it any more. It took him a year to see his three small children and now she is blocking him by filing a false DCF report alledging he flashed the kids while he had them in is custody. This did not happen but how can he defend himself . Does anyone know of a sliding scale fee attorney in Dade County or Lee County Florida? My son is desperate please somebody help us.

Father's Rights Question? My brother lives in Palm Beach County, Florida and his ex-wife recenlty remarried and has petitioned the court to let her move their 2 kids to Virginia to be with her new hubby. She is also petitioning that everytime my brother flies the kids to Florida to see him (which I'm not sure why it is all financially his responsibility) he must also buy her a ticket to come to. (Her whole family lives in Florida, so it would basically be him paying for a mini-vacation for her.) He does not have the money to hire a lawyer since he is paying almost everything he makes in child support and daycare fees. Is there anything he can do? Thanks

Suppose I punch out my soon to be ex-boss.? Here's my story, sorry if it's a bit lengthy. At the tragic expense of my grandfather's sudden and early death, I've recived my multi-million dollar inheritence earlier than anticipated. He was an executive for Warren Buffets Berkshire Hathaway and bought up several hundred shares of stock while they were dirt cheap. My current financial situation is this: A 41 year annuity of $207'000.00 a year (Actually direct deposits monthly.) Also a secluded cabin in the Hawaiian islands as my permanent residence, and 1.5 Million remaining in uncommited dollars spread out in three bank accounts, that will be my retirement when my annuity runs out at the age of 61. As you can see, I'm a 20 years man and set for life. Further more, and you can correct me if I'm wrong about this, that's why I'm here asking, but it would seem that I have nothing to lose when I go in for my final check. You see, a week from this friday, I go in for my final check. I am assistant manager at a golf course and absolutly despise the boss. She has made the last year of my life miserable, and instead of going out with a handshake, I'm thinking of going out with a literal bang. Because, I live in Pensacola county Florida, and my flight to my new life in Hawaii is 11am a week from friday in Tampa. So, two hours before the flight, I get there at opening at 9am, noone else is there, I get my check, rough her up a bit then high tail it out of there. This is my opinion: Even though Tampa, the location of an airport is a neighboring county, the process of extradition remains nonetheless. So, even if she can tell the police I'm there (Which I do not believe she would know), there would be way too much legistical stuff to be able to get me before the flight takes off. (Even if they did, i could pay my bail, then leave, and consider it worth it.) As single mom collecting child support, we can rule out her suing. She would not only have travel expense that she likely cannot afford, but there's absolutly no way on earth she can afford an attorney who can take on the one I hire. Not to sound like I'm gloating, but I can afford any attorney on earth, she cannot. Expect her to not even consider civil action. I don't like her attitude, but she's not downright stupid. Last but not least, this IS a repost. I'm asking again because last time everyone was talking about extradition. Consider it this way: The DA is going to pay out of his budget, provided by taxpayers, to have me extradited all the way back from Hawaii over a simple assualt charge. He's gonna cover the expense of my arrest in Hawaii, and pay to put me on a plane, and fly me halfway across the pacific just to get to the west coast, than transfer planes on or two times back to tampa? Simple assault charge? I think we can rule out extradition of that distance for 90 % of all crimes. So, am I foolproof.

How can I get a lawyer? Hi, I have someone that will pay for me to get a lawyer, but I myself cannot afford a lawyer. Its for CHILD SUPPORT. The court hasn't wanted to listen to anything I've said, and I am trying hard to get a paternity test but the court keeps denying it. I have VALUABLE PROOF that the child IS NOT MINE. My ex is completely whacked out of her mind, and money hungry. You can feel bad for HER all you want, but shes not worthy of being a mother, seeing as DCF is involved with her right now, because they keep trying to get ahold of me, to find out answers to questions, and see if Id take custody. (which I don't want) I just need a lawyer and people have said the courts can supply me with one?? I live in Osceola County Florida. They gave her a court appointed Lawyer. So she doesnt even have to show up for court dates because shes too busy selling herself on 192. NEED HELP! If you have further questions or would like help, email me @ kyle.kinworthy@yahoo.com Or leave your email and I will message you if you have questions, ect. Thanks for the help. Yeah, I know damn well she cant afford an Lawyer. They deny it because I did sign the birth certificate, but I shouldnt have because I had my doubts, I just wanted to be there for the CHILD if it was mine. Turns out it isnt and the mother knows it isnt. She told someone it 100% wasnt mine she just wants the money sshe can get. Shes unemployed 20 years old and gets around on a bike. I also have it in emails, because AFTER i signed the certificate she left ME and got with the REAL father, he beat the hell out of her she got an injunction and now he hasnt been heard from. I would, But the mother does not allow me to see the child. She has actually moved multiple times and not told the courts she has moved and refuses to tell me where she has moved to. Ive told her id call the cops but that doesnt seem to work since ther eis no court order for visitation, so they said they cannot do anything until its on paper. Which in that case Id have to go and open a new court case for visitation which would take 5-9 months to even have a court date :/

I know NOTHING about politics...? So I can use all the help and advice I can get. My ex owes just over $40,000 in back child support. Over the years, I've gotten a little here and a little there. He's currently not working due to a stroke he had last December, though it's now gotten to the point where he is milking it and there is no reason why he can't get a job. I live in IL but the case is in Florida because that is where we got divorced. My ex lives in Texas. Not to mention, the times he does talk to my son ends up in a nightmare - two nights ago he accused my 13 year old son of doing something he didn't do (which was make his girlfriend cry; even his girlfriend says it didn't happen!). That was the final straw for my son, he told my ex to get out of his life, called him a horrible father, and that he never wanted to talk to him again. Child support is NO help, I'm thinking of calling news stations and a congressperson or senator in Florida (Duval County). Since I know nothing about politics, who should I contact - a congressperson or senator? And who would it be in Duval County, FL. I would love to hire a lawyer but as a single mom of two, have no money to do so. I need help! Thank you

Get answers from millions of real people.? Hello..I live in the state of florida..Pinellas county..I have been divorced for 8yrs now..When we went to court the first time around i was ordered to pay child support..Was never a problem for me to do.Love my child..5yrs later we got back together and never got married.I pay all health and dental insurance for our child..We Never stoped the support from being taken out..Just deposited into account..Now we are split again for good and get along pretty well..She was making 17$ an hr til Oct 2007 When she was arrested on Felony charges for perscription fraud..Now she cant find a job making near that..So we agreed to joint custody week on week off.Give back every sunday..do i need to pay child support to her when we go back to court or will it be null and void..She agreed to it now changed her mind again so now we have to go to court..I just want to be fair to me and her..She also moved alittle bit away and my child still goes to school in my district..What are my options and will i still have to pay even when she got in trouble and lost her income level..Will i have to make up for it?

Are there any financial assistance programs available to those who are ill/out of work for a time, that can? help the patient with their living expenses? I have heard that Salvation Army or Red Cross may help with utilities while one is not able to work, but not sure about mortgage payments? I was diagnosed with a brain tumor (non-cancerous) 4 years ago, and doc told me yesterday that it is time to remove the tumor as it keeps getting bigger and causing my brain to swell, and told me that he has my surgery scheduled for 2/24/10....that is coming up quick! I have health insurance and short term disability with my job, however at my job when out on short term disability you only get paid 60% of your regular salary, I know because I was out 2 weeks in August for female surgery. The problem is, I am on the cusp of bankruptcy, I owe another $140 to my attorney and then he will file my case.....I have been chipping away at this $1875 since this past summer. I drive an 11 year old car and I live in a mobile home, so there definately no extravgances here. I am paying my mortgage about 30 days behind and at one point at the end of the year got I 2 months behind and had to come up with $2300 in 1 month time to cure the default. Needless to say, there was no Christmas, but there also was not much left even for food.....I was able to get a food handout from a local church but it wasn't much. My thinking is that if I am already struggling while working full time, how will I ever be able to make it when I am off work for 1 whole month at only 60% of my wages? I hate being in this position, but medical bills and being left by my fiancee early last year, put me in a financial downward spiral.....I have had to pay everything on my own and I would venture to say I probably have a credit score of -100. I have even started renting out rooms in my house, yet it still isn't enough. Is there ANYWHRE, where I could get help with my mortgage, electric and maybe some food? I do have bank statements/paystubs and etc to backup my case, but where would I go to get help without having to go through a lot of red tape, as I don't have a lot of time? I am not on any public assistance programs and never have been as I have always made too much $, so I really do not know where to even begin? If anyone out here has been through a sugery/illness for an extended period of time or if you know someone who has and they were able to get some kind of help, so they didn't end up without electricity, hungry or homeless, I would be very interested in hearing about your experience and how you were able to get help. One last thing, I do have a minor child in the home and yes, I do get child support for him, but it's really not that much. I live in Tampa, Florida (Hillsborough County) Please advise and thank you for reading.

Mother is Moving to another state.....again!? My ex-wife, since the divorce, has a sporadic moving lifestyle due to financial reasons and basically to avoid child support. She moved around TN for a while and then moved to FL for about 8 months before she moved to Ohio where I live. She even moved within Florida before she moved to Ohio and never told me about it. She came here for about 4 months and she is now moving to NC. Of course it seems that she always moves just as the heat comes on her about child support and the county begins to take action against her. She did give me a 60 day notice this time that she plans on moving but all indications tell me that she is going to move this weekend. That makes the notice only a 14 day notice. And I also see the reasons as being pretty bogus too as they contradict the reasons as to why she moved here. I guess I am just looking for some outside opinions on this situation because I would love to be as hard on her as I can be but the girls still love her of course but don't understand what I see. I think it is very unfair for one parent to take the responsibility to raise the children while the other plays the avoidance game but gets to be the fun parent when they see the kids.

I NEED A GOOD LAWYER!? My friend is trying to get custody of his son who lives in florida his son lives with his mother but they were never married. My friend is willing to pay child support anything to see his son but she wont let him. Does anyone know of a really good lawyer we can contact in boward county in florida please help!

Terminating parental rights? Hello. I am a mother of three. My youngest daughters were conceived with my husband. My oldest daughter was not. My husband has helped me take care of my oldest daughter for the past five years since she was 15 months old. She calls him Daddy and he refers to her as his little girl. It's no surprise that he wants to adopt her. That's the daisies and sunshine part of this question. My daughter's biological father has had no part of her life since she was 12 1/2 months old. I broke off our almost three year relationship because I realized that no matter what, he would never stop being an alcoholic or mentally abusive to me. I also saw that he was becoming more mentally abusive to our daughter. I talked to him several times over the next few weeks in hopes that he and I could figure out some sort of visitation on our own. We agreed that I would always be present and we would be in public. However, he always put it off, saying that he was busy working. Three weeks after I left him, he called to inform me that he was moving to Florida. He didn't ask to see our daughter and it broke my heart that he could turn on her so efficiently. At that point, I contacted the local DHS to receive child support payments. They couldn't find him for over a year. When they did, he had a job and they started taking child support from him. Four months after that, the payments stopped and he was 'lost' again. Another year and 1/2 later, they found him and brought him back to WI for failure to pay child support (3 counts). Apparently, he had three children in Grant County alone. He has been paying child support for nearly a year now, but the payments per month deviate significantly from the original court-ordered amount of $204/month. Now, after the very long-winded explanation, here is my question: What are my husband's and my chances of terminating the biological father's rights so that my husband can officially adopt my child? Are there any specific laws that will help our case? Do you have any websites to help us out? Thank you.

WHat are my options or legal rights to my deceased fathers remains and information regarding him? I posted a question months ago and this is a follow up question. In short- my father died september of 2009- I was not notified of his death till november 26, 2010 and that was only by a letter from the attorney general of Texas in regards to the other parent involved in my mothers child support case had deceased and the case was closed. After endless searching and finally tracking down his "x-girlfriend" and contacting the funeral home (Dobies Funeral Home) I was able to gather this very minimal information. Lewis william wood DOB- February 1958 DOD -september 24,2008 in New Port Richey, Florida in Pasco County FL. His obituary-WOOD, Lewis W., 50, of New Port Richey, Fl., died September 24, 2008. He is survived by his fiancee, Ingrid ******; son, *******; mother, *********; and best friend, *********. Dobies Funeral Home. I contacted the county he resided in and there is no estate or probate for him. Only thru the kind soul owner of the funeral home I was able to find out- He was declared indigent and his body was cremated and his remains were released to his "girlfriend" they did have a small child together but did not live together or were married. So that's I got. My parents divorced in 1995- and since then my mother has blocked any communication he ever attempted and I was unaware till not- so asking her or my family for any information or help is not an option. So finally questions are What are my legal rights as his descended his remains? Any possession's I am not out for money or property as he was indigent- but more personal effects- information? Also is there any legal action that I can take in regards to not being informed in a timely manner of his death and legal action against the county- state- whomever is in charge of notifying family members - because had I been notified I would of never let him be cremated and first and foremost his remains would be properly released to his 2 surviving children my brother and I. Im so lost and feel completely helpless as to what I can do and how I can go forward with getting info and why this slip thru the cracks and took 2 years for a letter to be sent out. Also the "girlfriend" has not been any help and only wrote me twice with the simple statement " Im sorry for your loss". If anyone knows of anything I can do- or who I can contact to sort any of my issues out please please let me know as I cant simply accept his dead and move on. I loved him very much and need to honor not only him but his son (my brother) as this has effect us greatly. Thank you for taking the time to read my long question and god bless anyone who responds as it will truly be a great blessing. Donna- No she was given the information that he was previously married and she was fully aware that he had 2 children living in the state of texas- proof was when I wrote with her she confirmed it - but she did not tell that information to the funeral home- and you said how would Florida know he had children- as I stated in question there was an open ongoing child support case between him and my mother and he was automatically drafted from his check the payments. So I don't see how it would be so hard to verify he had living descendants. Also Florida's attorney general was the one that informed Texas;s attorney general of his death (2 years later) and that is how I found out thru a letter from the texas attorney general child support office. and to the others- I have no problems with the other baby mama- and I have written with her several times and have given her all my info to contact me and to pass on to by half brother if ever she chooses to. I think you all are missing the point- im not asking to bring some sort of retribution upon the x- I know its not her fault. But he was declared indigent and with that you would have to have documentation of his finances and if they looked at his job and check stubs it would show the child support payments and also court records of the open case. And although they divorced when i was 10 I did receive a few letters and 1 phone call while my mother was not home so I know he knew that I DID want any and all contact with him- my mother handled the rest. And his remains are still very much in tacked sitting on the x's dresser. And I would make a scrap book of all this pictures if I HAD ANY. There has to be something or someone that made a slip up and I just want to know who to contact

Does the death of one Ex Make the Divorce Decree null? and void where it concerns the education of the child ? Unfortunately, the child of this marriage is 19 and although not emancipated, still needs to be supported. She's decided to move to FL to be with her deadbeat dad believing that one parent is better than none. He was legally bound to pay $119 per week for her support and 1/2 of medical ( he never helped her with medical bills) and college bills. He did pay half of the first year's tuition until my daughter was hospitalized with stage 4 cancer & died within 13 weeks. He tried to stop the money being taken out of his pay; but NJ has the strictest Child Support laws in the US so they kept taking it out of his pay but they still have the money (over 6 months). My granddaughter never got a penny yet & if she gets it, living with him, he will take it. We had to support her until she moved to Florida. I just paid her full college tuition for the Fall because it had to be paid by 6 pm the day I called. She was in the financial aid office ( I guess for his $ ?) but she didn't even tell us when it was due. I charged the tuition and since I paid for all the this semester, we expect him to pay for the Spring semester. We told her to tell him that & she thought it was a good idea & it gives him 4 months to save --but she let it go until the end because her mother always bailed him out (even out of jail once)! My question is if one party dies, does that make the divorce agreement Null and Void? Or does a court order have to be made to continue the agreement? Or what? We went to 2 different county Courts but they really didn't help us except to say either she or he needs a new court order to change the payee from my daughter's name to her daughter's name. I just wish the money would go into her educational Trust Fund instead of to him. Creator 7, you need to read questions more carefully. I do say it is about my granddaughter and her father because my daughter died with Stage 4 cancer.

Need some advice for family law issue!!? My boyfriend lives in florida, his daughter (6 yrs) lives in California. The daughter lives with the grandmother (75 yrs) full-time because the mother lives in a sober living community (rehab). He can only see her if he travels and stays in California. The mother wont let her come visit in Florida at all. All of the child support, $761, goes to the mother who is in a completely different county than the daughter. He went to California in the beggining of Sept. to visit and filed paper work for joint custody, visitation and a modification of support. They gave him a court date for 1/11/10. We were upset to wait five months but have been looking forward to it. So yesterday was the court date and he was instructed to call in for the telephonic hearing at 6 pm our time, 3 pm their time. All of the phones were busy every time he called. Finally he called the court house and the lady told him that the phone lines were down and they would issue him another date, which would be may 6, 2010. He was devastated! What should he do? Is there any form to file for a quicker date? Will a lawyer help speed it up or can he do something on his own?

Bankruptcy questions for florida residents...? I live in Hillsborough County, FL I have 27 years left on a 30 year mortgage, I am a single parent, Head of Household, I do get $494.50 a month for child support. I have 2 rooms that I rent out for $790 a month and I bring home from my job between $1600-$1800 net. I have a 401K with my job, with about $2K it it and a $750 loan I am paying back into it. I also drive a 10 year old car w/122K miles that is paid for. I live in a mobile home on 1/2 acre with a monthly mortgage of $1165 a month, groceries $400 a month, gas $70 a month, electric $180 a month, homeowners dues of $20.00 a month and I could go on and on....In short my total expenses are $2691 and my income $3085 leaving me with disposable income of $394 which usually goes for school stuff for my kid, haircuts, clothes for us and etc. My debts altoghter secured & unsecured are about $22K, and I will have to pay on my student loans $75.00 a month starting in September. I really own nothing very valuable. I'd like to point out that a few of these debts are medical as I have had some ongoing health problems and some are just life. Everything was fine until last year. My fiancee got fired from his job, had a drinking problem, cashed out his 401K and that was how he paid his half of the bills. He never got another job as he got so consumed in his alcohol problem, his money ran out and I became so fed up at his lack of concern for our problem that I threw him out in March 2009. I don't need to be judged or snickered at, I know it all looks bad, my first question is, will I be allowed to file Chapter 7? Will they try to take my house & car? Also, as corny as it sounds I work in the insurance field and if I file bankruptcy and they find out about it, will that cause me to lose my job? I know they won't initially hire you in those type of positions if you have a bankruptcy. I am so scared and afraid, I just don't know what to do. I was going thru a debt settlement firm, but I didn't have enough $$ built up with them for them to settle my debts and I am getting letters/certified letters that if I don't pay the full balance I owe by next Friday, (and for some creditors that is about as much as $5000) they will begin the lawsuit process on me, so I think this is the only option I have and I do not see my financial condition improving, so I know I must file. I just want to know what to expect for FL. Please know that I don't mess around with my mortgage or any secured debt, I always pay things that I know can be taken away/repossessed. It's just that I have so much expense and so much unsecured credit debt that I am literally drowning in it. Please help me!

Are there services assistance for dads in getting custody of there child/children? My son and my grand child have been abused by the mother of his son to the point of where my son has had to move out of their living situation. My son would never think of taking his son away from his mother. well, over a period of 3 years sense the birth of my grandson and my son moving out. my son and i have to put up with the mother cussing and screaming in front of our house with all of our neighbors listening and worst yet with my grandson listening. we have done every thing we can to appease her but to know avail. our neighbors have complained and I have had it. I have taken out a restraining order which she has violated several times. when my son has tired to talk to her about her behavior his ex gets even louder and even have taken to hitting my son especially in the face and my son will not do anything to her because she is his sons mothers and my son has never hit a woman in his life and would not know even how to go about raising his hand to do such a thing. well arrangements were made to have my son pick up his son at the Broward County Sheriffs office because of the restraining order. and so that left her with only the phone to cuss me and my son and ended her nail marks to his face. when arrangements were being made to pick my grand son up. This made it some what easier for me and my son, especially for the neighbors to no longer have to hear the cussing and witness the beat down of my son in front of her son. While picking up my grandson at the Broward sheriff department my grandsons mother got out of her car and came over and started screaming at us in front of the police and her son once again. thank goodness the law officer was there. this was in direct violation of her restraining order. she has broken her restraining order at least 3 times. and this time the judge called her in on it and she has been arrested w/o bail and is awaiting trial. this is her third arrest for violation but this time it is without bail. by son is having a hard time getting custody proceeding started to obtain temporary custody of his son. is there any help for dads that are good dads and seeking help to gain custody of there child/children. advice would be helpful money is funny right now in these economic time for a lawyer. are there any support agencies in the state of florida for dads or the country where my son can get some assistant with legal advice? I never heard of a woman abusing a man before. I have read up on this to educate myself and I was shocked to find that my son is one of many men that are abused by females. and this this type of abuse is less reported because there isn't much help for the man. I read that there are cases where shelters are now by law allowing men to enter battered shelter. I believe that this is progressive for many great dads like my son

Very Serious Question? I have a friend who is divorced and shares custody of his kids with his ex wife the kids reside with the mother though. The mother is wanting to up and leave with her fiance and the kids to move to Hawaii they and the father live in florida. The divorce papers state she can only move to counties bordering brevard county where we all live.She is taking my friend to court to have it motified and my friend dont want the kids going to Hawaii which is understandable because she has nothing out there no family no work, nothing its an irrational decision she is making. Can my friend fight this in the best intrest of his children to keep then here in florida where they have stability, there schooling, friends and family? He is a good dad he pays his child support and he always wants to be around his kids, the mother on the other hand lives in this fantasy world and is brain washing the kids over this move to turn them against there dad? What can my friend do legaly to see too it she doesnt take the children thousands of miles away?

I am a unwed mother and I was wondering the chances of me getting full custody of my 3 year old daughter? I am a unwed mother in the state of Florida and I am scared to death about not getting full custody of my daughter. She has both of us in her life on a daily basis.I work nights and I am home with her all day and her father works during the day and with her at night. We are still together for the time being. We will not agree on anything that has to do with custody. I was also wondering the chances of me getting what I think is right. I want full custody, I don't want him to take her out of the county I live in without my permission I want child support and in return he can see her whenever he wants. Do you think this is fair to ask?

How can I get a divorced w/o a lawyer? Here is my story: I got married in Feb 2006 in Florida. July 2006 I gave birth to our only child. My husband turned into a pos. By late 2007 he was in and out of our lives and I got tired of it and made him leave for good. In 2008 I moved to Georgia. By then I have already tried for child support for over a yr. They supposedly could not find him. Though I told them where he was plenty of times. He was in and out of jail. I gave up on child support and just took care of things myself. Now I want a divorce and I cannot find him. I know what town he is in but nothing else. I do not have the money to hire a lawyer. I have looked into diy divorces. The problem is we got married in FL and I am now a resident of GA. Whan I called the courthouse in GA for info they said I need to get in touch with the county I was married in. I called FL and they said I have to be a FL resident. I am so confused. Please help if you can

I want to leave my house.? I am 15, a freshman in high school and I'm in the IB program (an intellectually challenging and rigorous high school program) making good grades. I have never in my life done anything to get in trouble. I have not smoked a cigarette, drank alcohol, had sex, or done any drugs. I've never gone behind my mother's back or my step dad's. Me and my mom have never had any problems but recently she has been smothering me and my older sister, who is 16. Things started getting worse after my sister began dating a 20-year-old. Which, to me, is really not a bad thing. Four years is nothing compared to relationships they find completely acceptable, like a friend of her's who is 48 and dating a 33-year-old. And in the state of Florida the age of consent law state that this is not unlawful, so nothing illegal is happening. At first she was simply paranoid and continuously asked me questions about their relationship and made me go everywhere with them as a chaperon. But a few nights ago I asked to go with my friends- and one of the friend's mother- to a show at a local venue and she denied me. She has never done this before and it really hurt my feelings because not only are her actions questioning my ability to make good decisions but my friend's as well. And in doing so she is questioning the parenting they've received. When I do leave the house I have to keep in constant contact with her or she immediately calls for me to come home. When I'm home, things are cold and if she's not talking to me, she's complaining or saying negative things about people I care about. And lately, my home troubles have been affecting my grades because she's not allotting me enough time to do all my work or I'm too upset to do work properly. Living with my father is not an option. He lives too far away and I'm not willing to move out of my school district/county because that would call for me to leave the IB program. Plus, I doubt that he would even want to give it a shot, it's just not something I see in his character. However, I feel with some convince I could get him to pay his child support. Last night a close friend of mine said that I could live with her and another friend has offered the same thing, but neither of them could be long term so I'd have to hop between the two. Also, I'd have to get a job so that I'd have some money to support myself in this. I already know of a few places that are hiring. I can't reason with my mom about anything anymore and things keep getting worse. I don't have the willpower to live like this for another three years. I've never wanted to go and do all the things I've been told no to, like getting a tattoo, getting my lip pierced, and getting a dog (which still isn't anything harmful) quite like this. Any advice?

A judge granted shared custody but my ex has nothing to do with our son? Can I GET "full custody? I live in Florida. Three years ago a judge granted shared custody of our son to my ex husband and I. He moved away over a year ago, hasn't called since Aug of 2010, and hasn't seen our son in a year. The judge granted no child support, and us to share taxes on our son (each of us get to claim him every other year). Dec 2009, my ex picked up my son from school (after not hearing from him for months) and did not tell me. I found out by my babysitter calling me and saying my son didn't get off the bus. I called the school, they told me his dad picked him up. This is when I found out that he moved out of town. I have no clue where he lives now, and all his phone numbers are disconnected. I don't want him to pick him up, not tell me and I have no information on him. The judge is not very nice, right after the divorce I took my ex back to court for contempt twice. The judge basically did nothing. I am afraid that if I spend the money to go back to court for full custody the judge is going to not agree to give me full custody. He is the only judge for family matters in this county. If he does not agree, can I go around him or an appeals office? Help!

Chances at UF or other colleges? Hello everyone! I am a junior in a good Florida public school, the best in the community. As a senior year approaches, I am really freaking out about grades and getting into college.. and mostly how I am going to pay for it. I want to either do something in the medical/dental field or possibly in Business. I will be shadowing hopefully someone of both jobs in the summer to get an idea of what I really would like to do. Here is how I stand right now. - White Female - right now uw 3.65/ w 4.0 hopefully by end of the year with a point or two higher in both gpas - 3 AP classes (Bio, US, Lang) self study AP environmental - one dual enrollment (college algebra) - all honors courses this year other than adv agriscience for my club - FLVS Algebra 2 honors - Honors classes (this year/last year) : Statistics, World His, Eng, Geometry, Chem, Spanish 3 - I got a 4.5 w gpa for my third quarter junior year (2 Bs in honor classes, all rest As) - SAT scores were not too good, first time a 580 M, 470 CR 550 W , I know I can significantly pull those up with practice and studying - 200 hours community service at a science museum/camp counselor - Did a program for over 60 hours, so now I will sit on a board with a number of adults and myself in my county - Secretary of Biology Club - Reporter of the FFA (hopefully move up in positions next year) - Instead of going to my high school for senior year, I am going to the local state college and taking four classes a semester, and maybe AP stat online classes I want are english, spanish, maybe general chemistry, macro/government, calculus, not sure what else! So I am obviously looking into UF, because I can use bright futures and hopefully have most of my expenses paid. But I really wanted to go out of state, up to maybe New York City or anywhere in the north if there was anyway I could get most, if not all paid for. My parents (mom and step dad) make over 120k and even though my dad pays no child support, I do not think I can receive financial aid or it will be hard to. If you have any advice or colleges that would be good for me from my description please leave a comment! thanks! I forgot to mention competitions! I got first place in my category for my science fair project, second at state agriscience fair. I am bringing a new and better project this summer to state convention so I can hopefully take first and go to nationals. I also got first place at our county envirothon. Other competetions I have been in include: Enviromental Science State (9th team)(26th individual), Horse and Livestock Judging (150ish place alone out of like 300 something, not too good). Thanks!

Child Custody Case, Need Advice ? I attended court today and the judge ordered both parties to have investigations involved, being we both have made claims about each other. All I was requesting was joint physical and legal custody, but, the Respondent is seeking full physical and legal custody. However, after further reviewing my case and all pertinent information in regards to this matter, I feel that it would be in the best interest of my son to be with me, his father. For many reasons that I would like to further discuss, that even the investigator him self was shell shocked to hear. The Respondent is completely violent and an angry person. A.She has a past history of using marijuana, speed, and other control substances B.Has Been Domestically Violent towards me (I have police reports and pics of me scratched up) C.Respondent is incapable of working and has not worked for 4 years D.Respondent is unfit to take care herself, that is why she works as a prostitute And I have several emails of her soliciting for money. Saying she charges traveling and overnight charge E.On several occasions Respondent would take her daughter on these trips, to go play hooker and be with guys, Such as Walt Disney World in Florida, and Sea World in San Diego, Ca, (I have emails to support this) F.One incident she left her daughter home alone to go be with another guy, her daughter then left the house looking for her mother, to only be found several blocks away by a couple, cops were called (Police Report) G.Respondent has a past history of violence with her daughters Father. (Police Reports) H.Works as a stripper out of her surrounding cities, in Ca. Nickname Lily but does more "Prostitution" I know where this location is. . I.Respondents daughter does not live with her mother because she is very much traumatized and afraid her mom will dump her off, to go be prostitute for the night, according to her own daughter. J.I have witnessed Respondents interaction with her own daughter, and she yells and can be violent to her own daughter, threatening to spank her if she (daughter) does not listen to mother. K.Respondent has already committed PERJURY by lying on County DCSS Income and Expense Declaration and being currently investigated by Attorney for my local city L.Respondent has lied to receive Medi Cal Services in the county she resides and when in fact she did not need it. She lied about not owning a home, jaguar, property taxes, assets and income, All while knowing this is FRAUD in the State of California. (I have Property Tax info, Loan Docs and House Deed to support this) That she is does own a house. Docs she signed and is obligated for. M. She has admitted to me that she smoked weed in her apartment while our son was in the other room, this occurred beginning of August. N. She has not reported her income to the IRS for past three to four years, which says alot. She already has possibly FRAUD and PERJURY, But possibly Now TAX EVASION, . O. She pays an estimated 45k in mortgage and property taxes and has a paid off Jag, but she does not work according to her Docs, Huge RED FLAG. P. Her neighbors apartment has been raided twice for drugs, and yet they still sell drugs. Being I know all of this she feels that she must bash me by making up false accusations about me, However, I am very well prepared and can support every single claim that I noted above. She on the other hand cannot, but merely do her best to make me look bad. I feel it would just be in the best interest of my son to reside and live with me, I would strongly recommend anger management classes, domestic violent classes, and have her come to my city for supervised visits. Should I go for Full Custody, while this is being investigated? I have two weeks before my next court date, I asked for joint, but maybe I should go full. What do you guys think, any advice would be great.

Saying she charges traveling and overnight charge E.On several occasions Respondent would take her daughter on these trips, to go play hooker and be with guys, Such as Walt Disney World in Florida, and Sea World in San Diego, Ca, (I have emails to support this) F.One incident she left her daughter home alone to go be with another guy, her daughter then left the house looking for her mother, to only be found several blocks away by a couple, cops were called (Police Report) G.Respondent has a past history of violence with her daughters Father. (Police Reports) H.Works as a stripper out of her surrounding cities, in Ca. Nickname Lily but does more "Prostitution" I know where this location is. . I.Respondents daughter does not live with her mother because she is very much traumatized and afraid her mom will dump her off, to go be prostitute for the night, according to her own daughter. J.I have witnessed Respondents interaction with her own daughter, and she yells and can be violent to her own daughter, threatening to spank her if she (daughter) does not listen to mother. K.Respondent has already committed PERJURY by lying on County DCSS Income and Expense Declaration and being currently investigated by Attorney for my local city L.Respondent has lied to receive Medi Cal Services in the county she resides and when in fact she did not need it. She lied about not owning a home, jaguar, property taxes, assets and income, All while knowing this is FRAUD in the State of California. (I have Property Tax info, Loan Docs and House Deed to support this) That she is does own a house. Docs she signed and is obligated for. M. She has admitted to me that she smoked weed in her apartment while our son was in the other room, this occurred beginning of August. N. She has not reported her income to the IRS for past three to four years, which says alot. She already has possibly FRAUD and PERJURY, But possibly Now TAX EVASION, . O. She pays an estimated 45k in mortgage and property taxes and has a paid off Jag, but she does not work according to her Docs, Huge RED FLAG. P. Her neighbors apartment has been raided twice for drugs, and yet they still sell drugs. Being I know all of this she feels that she must bash me by making up false accusations about me, However, I am very well prepared and can support every single claim that I noted above. She on the other hand cannot, but merely do her best to make me look bad. I feel it would just be in the best interest of my son to reside and live with me, I would strongly recommend anger management classes, domestic violent classes, and have her come to my city for supervised visits. Should I go for Full Custody, while this is being investigated? I have two weeks before my next court date, I asked for joint, but maybe I should go full. What do you guys think, any advice would be great. 6 minutes ago - 3 days left to answer.

My children are going to live temporarily with bio father who they don't know...can a private attorney help? I have am open case with DCF in Florida..i'm working on a case plan but in th meantime, my exhusband , whose name was not on the birth certificate of either child, came forward and paid for a paternity test....he has always known they were his, but has never had anything to do with them since their birth til now. My babies , 3 & 2, have been with my mother the last 4 months til my ex husband decided to get in the middle now that he knew my mother had filed for child support for helping them while they y were with her. Last week, I went to court, and they were "supposed" to be arranging visitation for their father to have visitation at the hearing, but instead the judge decided to give him custody after doing a home inspection if he passes. The guy has NO stability whatsoever. He has lived in 5 differnet counties over the 4 years, works random jobs from driving cabs to pizza delivery...has been in homeless shelters, lived in motels, small camper trailers, and rents month to month wherever he goes....he lives 3 hours away. Can I hire an attorney to fight this?? My kids have only known mine and my mothers home...they dont even know him.....how can they jump past visitation to placing them with him although he has never even been around children and has no knowledge of rearing a child?? I want them with my mother during this time...they are SAFE where they are, and know that as their 2nd home. I'm working on my case plan in the meantime for those of u wondering....my current husband made a false report to DCF and since I had been drinking the evening it occured, they felt it was necessary to open a case on me. I am very stable mother for my kids, but I dont have the best history till up until 5 years ago where I made a complete turn around...ive had a wonderful job as a hairstylist at the same place for 3 years, had private insurance for me and my children, ive lived in the same place for several years....but DCF is making me to look like this horrible monster!! I would appreciate some POSITIVE answers rather than something discouraging...this is really a rough time for me and my family. Thank you Lori, but my kids ARE a priority...i see u are a mother of 2 children...did u raise them working a full time job, maintaing a home, all on ur own without the help of government assistance??? I think my children DO come first thank you...bitch

17 , Pregnant, and have some questions..? I have a few questions but for starters, I just want to start off that I'm EXTREMELY happy to be pregnant! I am 17 years old, live in Florida, and I'm 6 weeks pregnant by m 23 year old boyfriend, who lives in Ohio. My first question is about the whole consent issue, because I don't want my parents to be able to press charges on him...here is the law I found for Florida about consent... 1.) The age of consent in Florida is 18, but close in age exemptions exist. By law, the exception permits a person 23 years of age or younger to engage in legal sexual activity with a minor aged 16 or 17. 794.05 Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.-- (1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, "sexual activity" means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose Ok now, does that mean that my parents can't press charges on him since we're both in the consent age? Also, I don't know if this makes a difference, but I will be 18 by the time I have the baby...so that was my first question, now for my second question... Since the baby's dad lives in Ohio, I'd like to atleast move in with him while I'm pregnant...he makes MORE than enough money to support both of us...here is the marraige law for Florida... Florida: If a teen is under eighteen (18) years of age, but older than sixteen (16) years of age, a marriage license can be obtained with parental consent. If a parent has sole custody or the other parent is dead, the permission of one parent is sufficient. If a person is under the age of 16, the marriage license has to be issued by a county judge, with or without parental permission. If a minor's parents are both deceased and there is not an appointed guardian, he/she may apply for a marriage license. A minor teen who has been previously married may apply for a license. A minor who swears that they have a child or are expecting a baby, can apply for a license if the pregnancy has been verfied by a written statement from a licensed physician. A county court judge may at his/her discretion issue or not issue a license for them to marry So if I provide proof that I'm pregnant, can we get married before I turn 18? I don't want to live in 2 different states while I'm pregnant, and he can't leave his job or we won't be able to support the baby. Thanks everyone for all your help!

I am being fined the wrong amount on a seat belt violation. How do i get it fixed? I was on my way to class the other day and was waiting for a red light to change when an officer asked me to pull over when the light changed green; mind you I had been at the red light for at least a minute or two before he hit his siren and tapped on my window. After we pulled into the parking lot of the nearby apartment complex, the officer cited me with a $123.00 seat belt violation, no other violations were mentioned what so ever. I looked it up, and a seat belt violation for a driver in Florida is only supposed to cost $30.00 and they can only get you for the violation if they stop you for a different traffic violation first. What can I do to argue this fine amount, either to get it thrown out entirely or at lest reduced. I don't mind paying $30 but $123 is excessive especially since I am a poor college student.

How can I handle my grandson's mother? I have been caring for my now 1 year old grandson since he was 1 week old. Dad in federal prison, Mom in county jail waiting for sentencing. She got sentenced today. 6 months with time served. That would have her released by Oct 1..with time served. Drugs were a problem for both of them. Father agrees the best place for the child is with me. Father gave consent for custody. Mom said she would , But changed her mind while in jail..Says the guardienship paper was fine while she was gone and now she wants to come back to my house to live and have her son back. I have supported her when she was in and out of rehab and have always been on good terms.But not so good after a month long drug binge when she ran from a warrant. she did turned herself in on VOP in June, She refused visitation for me and her son. Would not call. Also wanted to know why I needed temporary custody. What were my intentions. I just want what is best for the child. I am not rich but do work.I was advised by an attorney to serve her papers and file for custody before she is released. . Also I filed fwith DCF for assistance for the baby. My concern is that if I do , it will cause a problem and I may end up never seeing this child again. We live in Florida.I own a home am 48 years old. Mother is 19 and has never had a job or her own place to live has stayed with me for the past year off and on. No parenting skills. Hangs out with unsavory people. Drug dealers , drug users ect. I will not allow this in my home and she knows it. That is wy she was in and out of my house. She can't stay clean. I would like to help but she doesn't listen. So Should I let her come and live with us again, Or fight to keep her away? The girl even got the felony witheld. Just lost her Drivers License for 2 years. She was arrested for possison of oxycotin and pot. Then 3 VOP. Please read the part about where she will be out very soon.Court cases take at least 60 days.to begin. If I refuse her living hear she will come and take the child. She did this one time before. but came back in a month. when the money ran out where she was at. I worried the whole time the baby was not getting the care he deserves. In fact I knew he was ignored . She was tooo busy partying. My thought is at least I could still be there for the baby to make sure he was Ok. His picture is my Icon

Does the custodial parent have to pay child support? In Florida (specifically Orange County), if the non-custodial parent only has the child for maybe 4 months out of the year, when the child is visiting the non-custodial parent, does the custodial parent have to pay child support for the month (or however long) the child is visiting? And where can I find this information in writing? It's not for me - my boyfriend has custody of his son, so far his ex has yet to pay child support. But out of the blue she wants copies of the paperwork so she can start paying. He's worried she's going to start paying because in November she wants him for like three weeks (he's in year rounds school) and my boyfriend thinks during that time, he's going to have to pay her. His payments are double hers as he makes more. This just doesn't sound right to me, that he would have to pay when he's there visiting. Thanks for the help!

how to get change of venue granted? Both former husband (FH)wife(FW) divorced in Broward County, Florida. FH gave FW permission to move to Clay County Florida in 2005. FH no longer resides in Broward County as of July, 2007. FH has so far been found in 5 contempts of the marital settlement agreement. FW is on permanent disabilty and FH does not pay child support and alimony as he should (a sixth motion for child support enforcement is filed in court). FW filed motion to have the venue change from Broward to Clay County florida where her and minor child reside. FW was denied by the court (child modification and sixth motion for contempt is filed and FW told court she is willing to strike the motions if she can get the venue change and then will refile at a later date) the venue change. FW is indigent, is on medicaid, etc. FW cannot afford to keep purchasing airline tickets and cabs to get to her court hearings and leave minor child (16) Is there anything else she can do or cases to help her get venue change?

Is this support for a woman's right to choose? I guess the lady chose not to keep her baby. RED WING, Minn. — Two of three babies found dumped along the Mississippi River in recent years probably came from the same mother, authorities revealed Tuesday in the hopes of jump-starting their investigation. They believed the children, a boy and a girl, had separate fathers, they said. "I guess what we have with these first two children is cold-blooded murder," Goodhue County Sheriff Dean Albers said. "If it was one child you might see it as the act of a desperate mother, but what I think what we have here is premeditated murder." Tests done by the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension found that the first two babies, found in 1999 and 2003, were probably related. The third child, a girl whose body was found in March, is not related to the first two. DNA tests done by a Florida lab and paid for by Goodhue County indicated the two related babies were probably Caucasian. The third was believed to be of American Indian descent. I

FLGovernor Bush sent a friend I form letter saying he cannot help him in legal matters so why is making laws? The man I know has a daughter he lost in a custody battle to an exwife who has been in and out of jail for felony drug arrests. The local judge in Okaloosa County does not like him so he keeps making him pay more child support every time he takes her back to court for custody battle because of her continued illegal drug abuse. So he wrote Governor Bush asking for help in the matter and he sent back a letter stating he could not help in legal matters such that he should go get a lawyer. He had a lawyer he stated that in the letter he wrote. So why is Governor Bush unable to affect the laws in regards to the safety and security of children in regards to a poorly done court case by a judge who will not set aside personal differences to think about the welfare of a child in the dangerous drug environment of her mother but he is capable of enacting, initiating and making laws in Florida? Is this a governor or a politician who should be in office? This is currently the standard form letter being sent out by many politicians in office in Florida I recieved this exact form letter recently when I contacted Senator Martinez in regards to the illegal things immigration is doing for him to say to me he cannot do anything legal get a lawyer. I got an incompletely stamped signature on my letter in red ink so I know for sure he cared enough to read my letter enough to waste four months of my time waiting for a reply after sending in all the required information the other form letters requested.

Why Do Florida Schools Refuse To Get Involved? This would never happen in North Jersey. My step-kids go to school in Florida. My step-son is a high school freshman and my step-daughter in 7th grade. She gave me the log-in information for her school's Edline, so I can see that her grades in this Middle School she is attending in Palm Beach County have been pretty lousy since day one. I can't see my stepson's grades, but he has always been a poor student. He had to go to summer school last summer, so I imagine that nothing has changed with him. What's "pretty lousy"? How about an average in Science at 23. Yes, 23. A really REALLY low F. Her current Language Arts average is a ZERO. I think she is only passing Math and the elective now. All other classes are an F. I have sent e-mails to everyone I could think of. The Superindendent of the Palm Beach County board of Ed, to the Intervention counselor who works with kids who have the potential to drop out, to the Principal of the Middle School. I have asked them how long they allow a child to fail before stepping in. I've advised them that the mother stays down in Ft. Lauderdale all week with the internet boyfriend, so there is no supervision at home each night, and this is why homework is not being done. The number of zeroes my step-daughter has received is mind boggling!! The most important thing I told them was that I did not expect them to answer me personally. I know as a step-Mom that I have no rights. However, when I had these kids with me, I was more of a mother to them in two years than their mother has ever been and will ever be. What kind of a mother doesn't give a rats' tail if her kids fail in school? What kind of a mother doesn't get involved when their kids get ZEROES? I don't know what she has or has not done, but I can say this....the grades are getting WORSE, not better. I just don't understand how a school district can stand by idly and allow this to happen. There has to be some kind of in-school assistance program to help kids whose parents are completely uninvolved. Kids are falling through the cracks and the schools don't seem to want to get involved. Yes, I will state that the mother is what you'd call a "head case". Very prone to histrionics. She claims to be a Science Teacher, but is not listed as an employee of the School District. She did have a teaching job about 5-6 years ago and lasted about 3 weeks before staging a little breakdown in the school. She was looked upon disfavorably after that. However, the mental state of the mother should not prevent a school from helping kids. Their Dad is dead. This is not what he would have wanted for these kids. I love them and want them with me, but the mother wants the Social Security money she gets. It allows her not to have to get a job. I'd let her keep the damn money. I make enough to support these kids along with their baby sister. It breaks my heart every time I sign on and see that my little girl is failing in school. She has A student capabilities. I think she may be crying out for help and told as much to the schools. Nobody is helping. Can someone on the "inside" of the Palm Beach County school district speak to this? Thank you. Thanks, Drummer. Ironically, these kids have an older brother who is a drummer. I see your point, but there are times I think these kids either don't care, or think that someone will bail them out the way their Grandmother bailed their mother out when she dropped out of high school. Thank you, John. I really hope that someone in Palm Beach County sees this and gives me some insight. I've run out of people to seek help from. It's clear that people are reluctant to get involved, but I want to know why. Thank you Amanda, but the biggest problem these kids have IS their mother. She has never been involved in their education and doesn't even bother staying home at night. The kids are 12 and 15, and will NOT do their homework unless a parent is there encouraging them. I had to provide tons of positive reinforcement to get them to put effort into their schoolwork. Once they went back to their mother shortly before their Dad died, they regressed big time. OK Mr. Wordy, I'll go back and respond to you in the forum where your question is. Stand by......

florida divorce question? have this friend living in florida, she is a mom, without much money, the husband is bad news. legal aide claims they cannot help her lack of funds. the court in her county advised she seek an attorney but she has no money as the husband pays no support and they can't locate him. she is also going to seek custody of her two children. is there any way she can do this without having to pay an attorney? the paperwork she can get from a paralegal would it cover having children or is she stuck without any hope? she has asked the court to waive the fees, but they say unless the husband can be found they can't help they claim they do not have the paperwork thats needed that only the attorney's have the paperwork. is there any way anyone knows that she can get her divorce other than paying out thousands to an attorney. theres no way she can pay and they won't help her.

Can I get the non custodial parents rights taken away if he has very little or no involvement w/our children? I LIVE IN FLORIDA....He's never been consistently in their life. He owes about $14,000 in child support. Always getting in trouble with the law for something, so therefor he is always on probation and he is about to be done serving 45 days in county jail. We have went several months without any contact, when I say several I mean like 6 mo. without contact. His parents are the same way, they don't keep in contact with me about their grandchildren. He has never really wanted anything to do with them until now. Now he has a girlfriend and is actually calling and fighting me on getting the kids on weekend. He thinks he can just call and disrupt everything that we've had going on for years now. The only time he wants the kids is if he has a gf, so she can take care of them instead of him. Can I get his rights taken away from him. They have a step dad that provides them with all the love and support they need and they don't even ask about him. I don't see how the court would be ok with him not supporting his kids and being in and out of their life..That's not good for them mentally. No..florida sucks at enforcing child support..they didn't do nothing about him owing $13,000something when we went to court..they let him go. they have suspended his DL about 7 or 8 times

A close friend of mine was charged with gross sexual imposition by a minor female from over 10 years ago in the state of MI. Also with criminal sexual conduct from his daughter in the state of OH. I know this man did not do this! His ex-wife is mad because he lost his job and she is no longer getting child support and his two younger kids want to move with him to Florida where he currently resides. The ex also stated she knew of this over a year ago. Broward county sheriffs, where he is in jail, said there should be no case but OH is extraditing him here for trial I assume. I need some help finding supporting documentation online. Thank You

Help!! I have 2 questions about family law...can't afford a lawyer? 1....does anyone know what my rights are in the matter of family law and changing a venue?? My ex opened a case 2 counties from me. Since my summons, I addressed the court and told them this was not my county and that I cannot get to this county and the reasons why. I asked for a change in venue with the courts after this (about 3 months) because they kept sending mediation notices and I kept sending notarized and certified letters telling them I wouldn't be there and why.I now have received a letter from the other party ..a motion to strike...(since my motion to change venue and transfer of court files). So, should I have a rebuttal or opposition to this or let the judge decide??? I live in Florida. 2.. my other question was also in this matter and the fact that I cannot get to this county for mediation and the such, are there any rights I might have? I take care of the child without any support from the father and there is an open case with the state for support which is in my county. Is there anything in law stating that I can get the mediation transferred. ( This is why I asked for a change in venue). The minor child and I have never resided anywhere else. The child nor I have never been or lived in that county. Have I already done all I can???

I'd like to know what you think. Can the working class change history? I strongly believe that given the knowledge the average working class American citizens have the moral values to make the right choice for the direction of our country. This year we have the chance to be apart of something that can make history and put it back on course to the level of greatness that will once again make it the envy of the rest of the world. I believe that Ron Paul is the leader to take us in that direction. Below I have attached a letter to his supporters. Please read it and research the issues he stands for and let me know your opinion. Thanks January 28, 2008 When I started this campaign more than a year ago, I was a somewhat reluctant candidate. I knew our message of freedom, peace, and prosperity was the right one for our country, but frankly, I didn't know how many people today would have ears to hear it. Well, did I learn a lesson! Millions of Americans understand what ails our country, and what is needed to fix it. So, with you at my side, I am in this effort to win. Not only by building the ideas of liberty, but by getting the nomination. Our opponents would call that nuts -- you know, the advocates of more inflation, more spending, more taxes, more war. But let me explain why they are, as usual, all wet. For one thing, for the first time since 1952, we are headed towards a brokered convention. Instead of a coronation of one of the establishment candidates, the delegates, influenced by the people, will decide. And I am afraid that this will take place in a time of heightened economic crisis. That means even more Americans will be ready to hear our message. But it also means I am really going to need your help. One would never know this from the mainstream media, but we've only had a few primaries and caucuses, and even after the extremely important date of February 5th, we will still have more than half to go. And the Republican nominee will not be decided by the popular vote among the "leading candidates" in a few states also handpicked by the media. The nominee will be decided by the delegates. So let me tell you a little about our "under-the-radar" strategy to get those delegates. On "Super Tuesday," February 5th, there will be 22 primaries and caucuses. I have a hunch that we're going to do very well. But, of course, the media and the rest of the establishment refuse to recognize that. It's the attitude of the small child who covers his eyes to make something scary go away. But we are not going away. While the media focus on the couple of states they claim are important, we're competing everywhere. And the reason that we're able to do that is because of your grassroots support. You all are an asset that no other campaign has: donors, and activists who want no special deals from the government, just the Constitution. We're competing very strongly in all the caucus states, and in all other states where delegates are up for grabs. And we're going to keep picking up delegates. Our strategy's already working. And we're committed to winning states. I have little doubt that if we can double our efforts in this coming week, we're going to grab many delegates from other candidates. Then we'll start getting ready for the biggest moment of all - the convention in September. The path to the convention is twisty, however. When we were in Iowa, we got 10% of the vote. But no delegates were awarded that night. That's because voters didn't directly choose national convention delegates; they selected the county and state delegates who will make that decision. And if another candidate like Mike Huckabee is no longer in the race at the time of the state convention in June, his delegates are free to support whomever they want. If we work extra hard, we can convert them into delegates for our campaign! A similar thing happened in Nevada. We won 14% of the straw poll vote that the media reported on, but what they didn't tell you was that we may have gotten up to a third of Nevada's delegates to their county conventions! I always laughed when I heard some people say Nevada didn't matter. Nevada chooses more delegates to the national convention than South Carolina. So, while the media will focus on the results from Florida, and probably take down the campaign of my friend Rudy in the process, those results are less important to you and me. Let them fight in Florida while we bring our message to Americans in other areas, like the economically hard-hit state of Maine. We want to win as many delegates to the Republican National Convention as possible, even if other campaigns don't see some areas of the country as "important. But in this work, I need your help. Help me get many, many delegates to this historic convention, by these three methods. 1. Donate. Your generous contributions are essential if we're going to keep going until September. We need, frankly $5 million by February 5 to run more TV and radio ads in the Super Tuesday states. Your help means everything: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate. 2. Canvass. You can help us identify those who support our message in your precinct. You can help us to convert others, too. After all, your neighbors pay attention to you. I am going to visit as much of the country as I can, but I need you as my partner in your area: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com. 3. ASK others to sign-up on our website. I meet so many people on the campaign trail who don't even receive my letters! I've told my campaign to make communication with you, the engine of all this, much better. But if people don't sign up for my e-mails, that won't happen. If you could just get one extra person to sign-up, that would be great. More would be tremendous. Help me by forwarding this e-mail to every other Ron Paul supporter you know, and urging them to join our efforts! https://www.ronpaul2008.com/join. We've come so far, but now the fun is really starting! I have a feeling the mainstream media will move from ignoring us to attacking us. But that will be a sign of our success. Join me as we continue this great movement into year two, and to a hot convention in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. We can do it! Sincerely, Ron

What do you think of this story? I found this story on-line. Thank you and God Bless you.? Home Articles About Media Books Contact Casualty of Porn ROLLING STONE, December 5, 2005 Not long ago, Chris Wilson was just another anonymous geek making a modest living off amateur porn. Today he's the most notorious man online. The twenty-eight-year-old founder of nowthatsfuckedup.com, a site where guys swap sexually explicit shots of their wives and girlfriends, was arrested in October at his Lakeland, Florida, home -- a raid in which Wilson was cuffed and his computer seized. Now he's out on bail and possibly facing life in prison after being hit with one of the stiffest obscenity charges in the history of the Net. But there's burgeoning doubt over which dirty pictures really landed him behind bars: the site's quotidian porn or its hundreds of graphic images, allegedly uploaded by U.S. soldiers, of dead Iraqis. There's little question that the site is disturbing. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd calls it "so perverse and outrageous and unconscionable, I believe it would have shocked the conscience of the most liberal people in the United States." But who really engineered the arrest: local authorities or those in the highest reaches of government? To many, this case, which some liken to 2003's "flag-draped coffin" controversy, raises serious questions about the public's perception of war and the future of free speech on the Internet. "It creates the possibility for censorship . . . based on the standards of the least tolerant community," says Kurt Opsahl of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital-rights group. For Wilson, the saga started with credit-card problems. After launching the site, he began getting e-mails from soldiers who couldn't join because of bank-verification issues. So Wilson told them that if they could provide photographic proof that they were in Iraq, he'd let them on for free. At first the photos he received were benign, such as soldiers posing by their tanks and barracks. But then came the gore. One picture shows a severed head floating in a bowl of blood. Another, a dismembered arm. A particularly gruesome photo shows a child with bloody pulp where his face used to be. Though Wilson says he was shocked when he first saw the photos, he empathized with the soldiers' desire to show the realities of service. Rather than censoring the images, he created a separate forum for them, quoting a line from Life, when the magazine published war-dead photos during the Spanish Civil War: "Dead men have indeed died in vain if live men refuse to look at them." Wilson never requested photos of the dead, but news of the site soon broke with the "bodies-for-porn" sound bite. Likely fearing another Abu Ghraib, the Army launched an inquiry into whether the images constituted a felony. But the photos couldn't be verified, and Wilson fell outside military jurisdiction. Though the postings from soldiers could be a violation, says Army spokesman Paul Boyce, "we can't enforce the Uniform Code of Military Justice on civilians." The military inquiry was done. But then the cops showed up. Polk County has a history of being tough on porn, and local officials insist the pictures of war dead were not the reason for the arrest. "Our charges were not related to the notoriety brought to that Web site" by the war-dead photos, says Chip Thullberry of the local state attorney's office. But both Thullbery and Judd say that information from Wilson's arrest has been shared with the military. Given that the government took his computer, it could now identify -- and prosecute -- soldiers who e-mailed photos to the site. Boyce, however, denies knowing of a military connection to the case. "I'm not aware of any communications from [the prosecution]," he says. Given the enormity and unique nature of the charges against Wilson (previous obscenity cases against porn masters have been ruled unconstitutional or dismissed), his attorney Lawrence Walters finds the dissociation hard to believe. "There may be a political undercurrent here," he says. "To what extent was this mandated by the military using the local state attorney as a pawn?" He's not the only one raising this question. When news of the photos first broke, Arsalan Iftikhar of the Council on American-Islamic Relations sent a letter to Donald Rumsfeld demanding an investigation. Iftikhar now believes Wilson's arrest was a "politically motivated" solution. "It wouldn't surprise me," he says, "if the charges were there to deflect from the issue at hand: the violence suffered by the Iraqi people." An anonymous source, claiming Pentagon access, went further: "Once the deputy chief of staff got word, a call was made to the Florida prosecutor and the governor, who of course is related to the president. A day later, [Wilson was] arrested." Regardless of who was behind the arrest, a conviction would have a chilling effect. Obscenity, particularly online, is difficult to prove because it relies on the slippery criteria of community standards. Wilson's site, which runs on computers in Europe with content from around the world, exists in the vast online community. If his case goes to trial, a jury of Polk County spinsters could effectively regulate content for the entire planet. As Wilson awaits the outcome, the site is still up and running. A Freechris.org movement has launched in his support. And the photos of the war dead keep coming.

Do you believe this? Facts about Immigration.? Illegal Immigrants / Aliens Facts 1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County (L.A. County has 10 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This was because they are predominantly illegal immigrants, working without a green card. 2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. 4. Over 2/3's of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers. 5. Nearly 25% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally. 6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. 7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 8. Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. 9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking. 10. In L.A.County 5.1 million people speak English. 3.9 million speak Spanish (10.2 million people in L.A. County). (All 10 from the Los Angeles Times) 11. Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops but 29% are on welfare. http://www.cis.org/ Over 70% of the United States annual population growth (and over 90% of California, Florida, and New York) results from immigration. The cost of illegal immigration to the American taxpayer in 1997 was a NET (after subtracting taxes immigrants pay) $70 BILLION a year, [Professor Donald Huddle, Rice University]. The lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a NEGATIVE. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens. YOU LIKE THE WAY YOUR TAXES ARE BEING SPENT???????????? OPINION RELEASE: A Retired Border Patrol Agent has Good Common Sense A Retired Border Patrol Agent has Good Common Sense Finally!!! A look at illegal immigration from someone who has been there and actually knows what he's talking about. A retired border patrol agent has some common sense ..... This letter sent to Tennessee Senator Bill Frist from a retired border patrol agent, and it has more common sense than all the bull being spewed from the Senate, with the exception of a few sensible representatives. Dear Senator Frist, There is a huge amount of propaganda and myths circulating about illegal aliens, particularly illegal Mexican, Salvadorian, Guatemalan and Honduran aliens. #1 Illegal aliens generally do NOT want U.S. citizenship. Americans are very vain thinking that everybody in the world wants to be a U.S. citizen. Mexicans, and other nationalities want to remain citizens of their home countries while obtaining the benefits offered by the United States such as employment, medical care, in-state tuition, government subsidized housing and free education for their offspring. Their main attraction is employment and their loyalty usually remains at home. They want benefits earned and subsidized by middle class Americans. What illegal aliens want are benefits of American residence without paying the price. #2. There are no jobs that Americans won't do. Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans can't take and still support their families Illegal aliens take low wage jobs, live dozens in a single residence home, share expenses and send money to their home country. There are no jobs that Americans won't do for a decent wage. #3. Every person who illegally entered this nation left a home. They are NOT homeless and they are NOT Americans. Some left jobs in their home countries. They come to send money to their real home as evidenced by the more than 20 billion dollars sent out of the country each year by illegal aliens. These illegal aliens knowingly and willfully entered this nation in violation of the law and therefore assumed the risk of detection and deportation. Those who brought their alien children assumed the responsibility and risk on behalf of their children. #4. Illegal aliens are NOT critical to the economy. Illegal aliens constitute less than 5% of the workforce. However, they reduce wages and benefits for lawful US. residents. #5. This is NOT an immigrant nation. There are 280 million native born Americans. While it is true that this nation was settled and founded by immigrants (legal immigrants), it is also true that there is not a nation on this planet that was not settled by immigrants at one time or another. #6. The United States is welcoming to legal immigrants. Illegal aliens are not immigrants by definition. The U.S. accepts more lawful immigrants every year than the rest of the world combined. #7. There is no such thing as the "Hispanic vote". Hispanics are white, brown, black and every shade in between. Hispanics are Republicans, Democrats, Anarchists, Communists, Marxists and Independents. The so-called "Hispanic vote" is a myth. Pandering to illegal aliens to get the Hispanic vote is a dead end. #8. Mexico is NOT a friend of the United States. Since 1848 Mexicans have resented the United States. During World War I Mexico allowed German Spies to operate freely in Mexico to spy on the U.S. During World War II Mexico allowed the Axis powers to spy on the U.S. from Mexico. During the Cold War Mexico allowed spies hostile to the U.S. to operate freely. The attack on the Twin Towers in 2001 was cheered and applauded all across Mexico. Today Mexican school children are taught that the U.S. stole California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. If you don't believe it, check out some Mexican textbooks written for their schoolchildren. #9. Although some illegal aliens enter this country for a better life, there are 6 billion people on this planet. At least 1 billion of those live on less than one dollar a day. If wanting a better life is a valid excuse to break the law and sneak into America, then let's allow those one billion to come to America and we'll turn the USA into a Third World nation overnight. Besides, there are 280 million native born Americans who want a better life. I'll bet Bill Gates and Donald Trump want a better life. When will the USA lifeboat be full? Since when is wanting a better life a good reason to trash another nation? #10. There is a labor shortage in this country. This is a lie. There are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of American housewives, senior citizens, students, unemployed and underemployed who would gladly take jobs at a decent wage. #11. It is racist to want secure borders. What is racist about wanting secure borders and a secure America? What is racist about not wanting people to sneak into America and steal benefits we have set aside for legal aliens, senior citizens, children and other legal residents? What is it about race that entitles people to violate our laws, steal identities, and take the American Dream without paying the price? For about four decades American politicians have refused to secure our borders and look after the welfare of middle class Americans. These politicians have been of both parties. A huge debt to American society has resulted. This debt will be satisfied and the interest will be high. There has already been riots in the streets by illegal aliens and their supporters. There will be more. You, as a politician, have a choice to offend the illegal aliens who have stolen into this country and demanded the rights afforded to U.S. citizens or to offend those of us who are stakeholders in this country. The interest will be steep either way. There will be civil unrest. There will be a reckoning . Do you have the courage to do what is right for America? Or, will you bow to the wants and needs of those who don't even have the right to remain here? There will be a reckoning. It will come in November of this year, again in 2008 and yet again in 2010. We will not allow America to be stolen by third world agitators and thieves. David J. Stoddard U.S. Border Patrol (RET) Hereford REnate, stop by your local social services office on a monday morning about 9:30 a.m., stop long enough to chat with some of the people there, try not to be shocked by what you see with your own eyes.

Anyone heard about what happened to former Met Now D Back Scott Schoeneweis? His wife was found dead today by the wife's 14 year old daughter. Very sad. Thoughts & condolences go out to Scott Schoeneweis his kids & the rest of the family. -> FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. (AP)—The wife of Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Scott Schoeneweis(notes) was found dead at her home Wednesday. Police said the cause of death hasn’t been determined. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said deputies found the body of 39-year-old Gabrielle Dawn Schoeneweis on the floor of the master bedroom in the family’s suburban home shortly after noon. Authorities said her 14-year-old daughter called the sheriff’s office to report that she had found her mother lying there and unresponsive. A team spokesman said Schoeneweis had left the team, which was playing a doubleheader in Florida on Wednesday night, and was returning to Phoenix. “At this point, anything we can do to support Scott and his family, will be our focus,” said Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes, who was with the team. “I have talked to Scott Boras, the agent, a few times. We’re trying to get the facts the best we can. It’s devastating news. Everyone is taking it very hard.” The 35-year-old Schoeneweis came to the Diamondbacks last December in a deal with the New York Mets, who agreed to pay $1.6 million of his $3.6 million salary for 2009. Schoeneweis, a survivor of testicular cancer, is 45-55 with a 4.89 ERA in 11 seasons with five teams, the last two in New York. Scott and Gabrielle Dawn Schoeneweis celebrated their 10th anniversary in January. They had three children together, and she already had a daughter when they were married. “His world was just rocked. He and his kids, his family, his extended family, his in-laws, everybody’s lives are changed forever. He took it as expected, very hard,” Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch said after Arizona lost 8-6 to Florida in the first game. “As I told the team, just give him as much support as you can. Really, tell people that you love them if you do. You can never expect something like this to happen.” Arizona starter Doug Davis(notes) said he was told about 30 minutes before making his start against Florida. “A.J. brought everybody together and told us about it. Obviously our thoughts and prayers are with him,” Davis said. It is a tough time for not just him, but all of us and his family. It’s tragic. You don’t know what else to do, but to pray for him.” Francisco Rodriguez(notes), who teamed with Schoeneweis in the Angels bullpen in 2002 and 2003, said he was “speechless” when he heard the news. “I’m sad for him,” Rodriguez said. “I can’t imagine what he’s going through right now, all the pain he’s going through.” Former Mets teammate Ryan Church(notes) added: “He’s always been able to battle through adversity because he’s had cancer before. Everybody needs to be thinking about him and his family and just pray, pray a lot.” Mets manager Jerry Manuel said he still considers Schoeneweis part of his family. “I mentioned that to our people, that we’ve got to reach out and do all we can to help support him at this time,” Manuel said. “And whatever he needs from us, we’ll be here for him.”

What is the BEST way to track a dead beat dad when you've already gone to the county child support services? My child resides in California and the so called dad AKA sperm donor now lives in Florida which I had to find out through the medical insurance company - info was given to me by mistake. Not completely but enough for me to know he's moved out of the state he originally lived. The child support services doesn't even know where he's currently living or working at so their a dead end to me. I'm not sure who to contact in Floria to get me help or where to start looking. Any suggestions anyone or suggest a website that allows you to look at other details at NO CHARGE to us? Thank you.

How Can I Go About Suing For Overdue Child Support? My birth certificate states that I have no father (it has a bunch of Xs). Through Accurint.com, I've found his social security number and address and home telephone number. He resides in Edgewater, Volusia County, FL. I reside in Buffalo, Erie County, NY. and I am a 21-year-old male university student. My mother and I have not received any child support from him at all. He left when I was born and my mother did not know his social security number, just his previous address and that he moved to the state of Florida. I believe that he will have to submit to a paternity test in order to prove that he is indeed my father. How can I go about ordering this via court? What is the next step that I need to take now that I have all this information on him? Thank you!
