The father of my child made me sign over custody and now he took my daughter, how do I get custody back?

Asked by a user in Sacramento, CA - over 2 years ago.

I have a restraining order on my husband, can the judge order him to be removed from our lease if he is not living at the apt?

Asked by a user in San Francisco, CA - almost 3 years ago.

Therefore, unless the landlord releases him from the obligations of the lease agreement. He will likely continue to be responsible in part under the lease agreement. Be advised that if the rent is not paid in full then the landlord will likely file an unlawful detainer action. The landlord can hold both parties jointly...

Family Law Question: Custodial parent lying.

Asked by a user in Campbell, CA - over 2 years ago.

You will need to file evidentiary proof to substantiate your claims and disprove her statements. Note that if she is only seeking to modify child support, then visitation is only at issue to the extent as to whether he is excercising it or not i.e. the court will not be able to modify visitation as the issue is not before the court. With respect to your son's testimony, the court may allow it if it is relevant to the issues pending before the court at said hearing. Court's do generally...

There is a policy to promote frequent and continuing contact with both parents of the child. This question is difficult to answer because it will require an intensive evidentiary hearing as to all the facts...

Asked by a user in Los Angeles, CA - over 2 years ago.

California is a no fault state. The reasons for her filing for divorce, whether vindictive or not, will not be a factor in a determination of property division.
