WA state child custody and family law, at what age can child decide what parent to live with

At age 18. Sorry about that, but unless they are emancipated or married, the custodial parent has control over them. You could file for a modification of the parenting plan, but there are standards to be met and the child's wishes may come into play if they are sufficiently mature.

What are the rights of father to see child in hospital?

Father has a right to see his child in the hospital unless there is a restraining order in place. Has your ex-wife produced a certified copy of the alleged order. Feel free to call me at 206-588-9754, and I will check to see if I can find any orders.

Im on a deferred prosecution and i had a accident involving alcohol.. can i salvage my life?

You question does not lend itself to a quick answer on this board. You should seek an appointment with a competent DUI attorney. Many of them will offer a free consultation. They will have to review the police report of the new incident then they will be able to help you. There is always hope. They key is to get someone on your side as soon as possible.

Mother is refusing to let father speak to children,

Check the section of your current parenting plan concerning dispute resolution. Follow the procedure in that section. If that doesn't work out, and you think that you may have to go to court, try one more step first. Check with an attorney to see if you can hire them to send a letter to the mother addressing your concerns about telephonic contact with your daughter. Many times a letter from an attorney will grab the attention of the other party, so you won't have to go through the expense...

Do i need to contact labor and industeries?

L& I issues are complex and very case specific. Your question does not lend itself to an answer that can be posted here. You should make an appointment with an employment attorney and thoroughly discuss your case. I wish there was an easy answer, but there isn't.

WA state child custody laws, father's right to seek custody of children who live in another state

If they have lived with your ex-wife in Arkansas for the last six-months or longer, you will have to file for a custody modification in Arkansas. In general, children of that age will have some input to the court as to thier wishes, but thier wishes may not be the sole determining factor.
