Does My Ex's Boyfriend Have Any "Authority"?

Whatever your ex allows is fine as long as it does not violate the law against corporal punishment.

INDIANA CUSTODY BATTLE, No contact in over 3 years and suddenly wants visitation since we are nearby. Can he do this?

He can ask, but whether the judge will give him that is another question

Can parental rights be reinstated after they were terminated two years ago?

Were the signing away of rights in a legal document signed by a judge. Perhas if that is done then it's ok.

Can I get full custody w/ child support if the father has been convicted of rape?

Rape of you or someone else? If he is in jail what are his earnings?

Contempt for nonpayment or to show you are making more money ergo you can afford to pay more.

Do I have grounds to file for temporary custody of my niece if, when she goes to live with her mother, she shows signs of abuse?

Talk to child protective services in your state, but custody might only be temporary.

I haven't seen my son in almost 2 years due to financial difficulties, if rights terminated, are you obligated for support still

If your ex has a new husband and he adopts your son they could waive child support.

Is there a dollar amount for cash-in-kind support for SSI when it becomes a problem?

It depends on what you are doing and receiving; a chocolate bar or free rent and board and a Porsche to drive?

No, and you need to check with an attorney where the divorce occurred to see if you can even contest paternity and avoid child support at this...

My child's father who has custody of my son has ignored every phone call I have tried to make to him.

Just make the motion based on noncompliance and interference with visitation. Do not use the word alienation it is too onerous.
