Legal Answers
877 Questions Answered
Q. How can I pursue full custody of my child in California due to safety concerns?
A: You have no court orders. Get court orders. File a parentage action (I'm assuming you are not married to the father) and concurrently file a "Request for Order" to get temporary custody and support orders in place while the matter is pending. To ensure you draft the paperwork properly and present your arguments and evidence property and in a manner that optimizes your potential outcome, you should retain an attorney to represent you and draft these documents for you.
Q. What steps can I take to finalize my divorce case in California after discovering it's still open?
A: Retain an attorney to assist you with this. You need to figure out what has already been done and what needs to be done. A "decree" is a judgment. The judgment package includes several different documents including the stipulated agreement you reached with your spouse. This may also be of assistance: https://selfhelp.lacourt.org/search-results/C01/Topic008
Q. Can I modify custody from 50/50 to full due to father's inconsistency and verbal abuse?
A: As long as she is under the age of 18, you can always return to court to request modifications to your custody and child support orders. The post judgment standard is "significant change in circumstances". In your situation, you had a 50/50 order that the other parent has "consistently" failed to follow. An inability to follow court orders is grounds for having them modified.
