Will I be able to have documentation 2 relinquish all responsibilities to this child? If so what would I need?: I am pregnant, but I am not married to the father of this child. I do not want any responsibilities, financial or otherwise in reference to this child, he has already agreed to take custody of said child.
Daniel’s answer: If you are referring to having your rights terminated and allowing the father to have sole custody of the child you will need to consult with an attorney to discuss all of your options and to get all necessary documentation to petition the court.
Recently my step daughter stated she wants to live with her father and I now. Is this possible? If so, where to begin?: My step daughter currently resides with her mother the majority of the time; visiting her father and I on every other major holiday with spring breaks and summers. She has told us recently that her mother can become very angry at her easily for insignificant things and yell at her when chores are not done. I find it odd that she also tells me from time to time that I treat her as "a real mother" should. We've also observed that her mother has her taking many medications; most of which are unnecessary.
Daniel’s answer: Your question doesn't specify how old you stepdaughter is but if she is above he age of 12 and there is currently a court order in place the best place for you to start would be to hire an attorney to file a modification of a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. If she is 12 years or older she would have the opportunity to speak to a judge and let a judge know her preference as to where she wants to live.
What documents would I need to transfer all rights and responsibilities to my name for this property in Texas? : I recently went through a divorce and the courts has granted me all rights and responsibility of our rental property in Texas. This property is listed in both of our names.
Daniel’s answer: If your divorce has been finalized and you were awarded any real property your ex-spouse should have executed a special warranty deed that conveyed any and all interest she has in the property to you. The deed is filed in the county where the property is situated. This is typically what is necessary to evidence your authority and ownership of the property.
