Legal Answers
97 Questions Answered
- Q. How can I remove a non-biological father off of a child’s birth certificate when that individual is fighting me on it?
- A: if the biological father wants to be involved, then HE needs to file an action for paternity and child custody. The non-biological father will have to be made a party to the action, if he is on the child's birth certificate. After paternity is established, the child's name can be changed, with consent of the biological father.
- Q. Am I obligated to pay spousal support to my dependent spouse if they are the one that is initiating the separation?
- A: It all depends on a lot of factors. Based on the facts you've given, the answer is not a definite YES or NO. Consult with an experienced family law attorney, so they can ask you a series of questions, and based on your answers, more questions, and based on your answers, you can get a more definitive answer. This method is really not conducive to an answer you can depend on, based on the facts you've presented here.
- Q. I am filling out estate form 506. The back sections are 0. Everything was willed to me.
- A: The answer to your question depends on who you are, how much was in the estate at the date of death, and where you are in the process. Simply filling out the 506 is not enough. Have a consultation with a probate attorney to make sure you've done everything properly.
