Legal Answers
77 Questions Answered
- Q. How do I file a motion of contempt for child custody, I'm now in another state than the courthouse?
- A: If your joint custody is based on a court order, you would need to file for contempt in the court that granted the order. If its based on an agreement that the two of you had, you'll need to file an action for custody in the home state of the child (most likely where the child has lived for the last 6 months; although it could be somewhere else - check with family law attorney to determine). Once you determine the child's home state (and/or what court you should file in), you should have an attorney represent you who practices in that state/county.
- Q. How do birth certificates work in North Carolina?
- A: Yes. He can sign the Affidavit of Parentage, and be listed on the child's birth certificate. To legitimate the child, however, he will need to adopt or marry you.
- Q. Boyfriend and I will move into a home that's solely in his name. How does "right of tendency" work (correct term???)?
- A: He will need to either title the property to himself, with you having a life estate, or state in his Will that you can remain in the house until you die. Otherwise "yes" you can be forced out, with proper notice. If you are on the loan, you should be on the title, but that doesn't happen automatically. You could also enter into a Domestic Partnership Agreement regarding the house, if the two of you are not planning on getting married. There are lots of options on how to handle this. Consult with a family law attorney about the best way to proceed.
