Does he have a case? And will he get the Emergency custody ?: My boyfriends daughter spent the last few days with me. Shes 2 years old and i would tell her its time to change her diaper she would start crying and telling me shes sorry shes sorry. She has trouble sleeping and woke up in the middle of the night crying and once again telling me she was sorry. I asked her whats wrong and she told me she was scared. I asked her of what? and she responded with Mommy.. One several occasions i would be with Her and her mother and her mother would threaten to beat her butt. Or she would smack her, across her face, in her head, anywhere she could reach at that point in time. My boyfriends wants to file an Emergency Custody Order. But would he have enough facts to get custody of her?
Alyssa’s answer: I'm assuming based on the facts that we feel the mother has been physically abusive? If there are physical signs, take photos in a well lit area. Contact the police. If no signs of abuse, then have her seen by a counselor. Tell the mother you're doing it. She has shared legal custody. Have your suspicions verified by a credible third party. If you do, your case for emergency relief will be much stronger.
Can one spouse take property purchased by the other spouse's parents as a gift to the children?: My son and his wife are separating. They had their first child prior to marriage and during that time, we purchased a set of beds for the child's room. Now his wife is moving out and wants to take the furniture that we bought and leave nothing for when the children are with their father. Is there a way he or we assure that what we bought stays with him?
Alyssa’s answer: The beds were given as a gift and therefore, owned by the parties. As such, they are subject to equitable distribution in the divorce. I would have his lawyer deal with this issue directly with your soon to be ex daughter in law.
Can I sue my ex wife civilly?: my divorce started in 2008 and ended in 2011 in pa. questions arose during my divorce that just recentley had me do a dna test on my son. just found out after 19 years that hes not my son. i would have never married back in 1992 if she wasnt pregnent. she really fooled me into thinking that i was the biological father. now what!!!!!!
Alyssa’s answer: Unfortunately, there's no proper civil action to bring. This is a classic example of paternity by estoppel. Even if you wanted to be declared "not the father" you could not. I don't care if you had a 1000 DNA tests to prove it.
