I almost got removed from my family home two separate occasions and let me tell you it was needed. And at the same time devastating I still just tolerate my family for along time I kept family together then just one day it enraged me and now no more family it’s still the most devastating thing I know others too who have been dealt this in different ways but that is no comfort it’s just the worst
I vowed to never be like them I know it stems from their abuse but my abuse was of such a serious nature two different instititions were going to remove me with force and nowadays I thought I could forgive but I can’t and it’s awful
I just am here that’s it I see family and I’m 🤷♀️. I don’t like it one bit these emotions of not caring. I pray it don’t happen to my own family this suffering and strangely I’ve met many people who have experience this too. I feel like their was some generational trauma that society repressed and it became evil.
I don’t even know if they are my family. Lots of secrets and sibling actually got tested as they were doubting too just weird cult like things just bizarre that’s why I say some kind of generational repressed trauma because I’ve heard others also with these strange things
Hello, I am the grandmother of a half native American child in the state of Wisconsin. Currently my grandchild is in the custody of guardians/foster care system. How can I obtain custody of my grandchild? I live in the state of California. Whatever information you can give me on how to proceed with obtaining custody would be appreciated. Thank you.
I have a 17yr old daughter and she will be 18 in February. I got married 3yrs ago and she wants to change her last name to my married last name. She does not have her biological father last name but my maiden last name. Do he still have to consent even though he has been in her life off and on? I live in Virginia.
I received a gal in County jail. I was there for one year I have no kids I was declared incompetent so why do I have a gal. HOA board has enough power to throw me in jail and not fixed the mold in my condo that blows my mind For one year Why do I have this person before me? I do not have any kids
What if the child feels more anxiety because of the guardian ad litem? The child does not agree with the guardian ad litems recommendations due to not feeling safe when she is with her father
And not only did she mail them to the wrong person and not serve them she got fired and then another lawyer took over my Case they did not know anything about my case they didn't know my last lawyer set a pre-trial and set for temporary alimony and I had all the information already on my Gmail I feel like my new lawyer at the firm is just trying to not get sued for breaking confidentiality or something I don't know but I thought 2 years to get this divorce and I'm back at square one
My lawyer didn't serve my husband papers for divorce they mailed them and they mailed them to the wrong person he could have said he didn't get them is that wrong of my lawyer to have just mailed them
Wow. What reality do you people live in. A lawyer CAN'T remain inpartial, especially if they are also a lawyer whose biggest platform is father's rights. They WILL find favor with the father even if the mother provides stacks of proof of the abuse the father committed against the family.
Important information for those going through divorce, and those contemplating marriage or divorce when it’s not going well. Third party information is better received because it is perceived to be non biased. Also important is the list of things the parties are required to produce. State bar complaints need to be filed when your attorney does not take issue and demand the required asset disclosures and other statements of conditions. Divorced in California and went thru three years of hell trying to bring this case to an end. I went through three lawyers, so have extremely low opinion of divorce lawyers. (They are the ones who did not do well in law school, so family law was their saving grace to save a law career). I had to ask the judge for some “adult supervision” of the attorneys to end this case. Get a book on how to sue your lawyer. Not that you would, but does identify his responsibilities and what you can ask for and demand. Attorneys feed you a lot of b/s and know you don’t know any better. Don’t be used!
5.55 It's catch 22 because what if you are a father going for custody if he wins moving house means moving schools and child making new friends Even if child is well adjusted and has friends children can also adjust to move into fathers home and after few weeks child will be settled anyways
Bla bla bla bla women always are protected by systems not matter what even a women are real evil sample women just go court house file a free and bogus order of protection and court system are very happy to accepted without any proof them she runs with kids and hide them and a father can't done anything bcz police officers are very happy to pull trigger even man is inocent but happens for real i know whats I talking about
My ex husband is using your law firm. I reached out first 2 months before yet you guys accepted him after I already spoke to and try to hire you which is a conflict of interest. How about that because it was told to me by another lawyer that it was wrong.
It’s a conflict if there has already been an intake and information exchanged’ since no money was put on retainer ,any info they gave you was general in nature,‘and they are not bound to anything you make public,‘if they run into a true conflict, then they are to withdraw .
My daughters father and I split the cost. Almost 1,000$ later but I like her very much, so far. I feel she’s truly working on behalf of our daughter (essentially she is her attorney)
My ex boyfriend deams me as an unfit mother. The father does not communicate with me at all he threatens to strip me of all my parential rights. I do not have any of that. Plus, I am in treatment for my Mental health. Thank you for your video 📹 ❤ found it very informative 👍 and educational thank you.

first thing utah don't give a shit about your kids, my kids and they will snatch them from families. Judge says mom is shity dad is shity children's grandparents to old and guess what the kids are gone just like that.start praying and pray you dont end up in utah not so family court you will end up in criminal court and know you lost your kids and your freedom. so don't be a SUCKAfish and stay out of the sewer system i mean court system o well it's the same system eather way knee deep in shit eather way' Court will say it's a high conflict case for court and a drained bank for mom or dad first one to run out of money loses as it drags into a year or more. People work things out look for answers through God one good thing I can say about Utah is LDS CHURCH is the best our leaders show so much love i know they saved me and gave me hope brought me so much closer to the lord try church and give to your kids instead of the lawyers. Ask anyone who has went through the not so family court
A GAL is a county employee acting as an informant for the Court. If you don't have effective legal representation, do not buy the malarkey about "cooperation".
Can I serve someone by email?He doesn't have any house anything under his name!He's a con man,he's expert at hiding. He may be in other cities or countries!!!
I have court tomorrow and I have emergency custody of both of my daughters. My eldest “step“ daughter was originally in states custody, and then the judge placed her in my custody. Tomorrow will be the 4th court date. The first two court dates my ex-wife was in jail and was contagious. The third court date my wife decided to represent herself and failed miserably. She is now been appointed an attorney. I was fully expecting to be called by my stepdaughters “ad litum” by now but I have not. After watching your video, I now understand why this hasn’t happened yet and this is the best video about “ad litum” I have witnessed!
Mans save u money bcz end day u lost not matter whats $4k $10k $20k etc even if u have a traffic ticket 30 years ago in u record that mean u a dangerous man for u own child obviously bcz is a huge business for private corporations 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bunch of drama end day nobody care about others children life only how much money is involved bcz this people charge $400 hour just talking with entire neighborhood end day judges preferred women not matter what's women 90% man 10% easy like that not matter what's man is a good man lost child visitación only wins is a huge child support bill each month without be involved in child life 🥹
As for child support grants most mothers are working earning well thier grandmother takes care the mother also five money its better to investigate the child support grants better late than never
Cost of living is far more then 2100 instead of 5000 together have a good change in progress for poor old aged people and disability grant mental illness patients unfit to work
1 thing i learned from watching nature is a parent will do whatever it takes to protect their kid. Remember that when you come for their kid. They will never forgive and forget what you did. They may also be pushed to the extreme when its finally over to come for you. Think about it. They can do exactly what you know they would be willing to do. We both know what im talking about here. Even if youtube wont let me say it. Dont push the dad. And definately dont push the mom to that length. You will be surprised when the knock on the door comes and they are standing there with a smile on their face and their hands behind their back. skip all this and just adopt the kid before they take you to court for rights. when you adopt it forfeits the grandparents rights and they get no claim to the child anymore. dont let these people take your kid.
So if I have had seven years of help with depression and anxiety, improved over depression to where it was no longer a diagnosis, and improved over anxiety to where anxiety was not as much of an issue, to where the therapist was moving away from it and onto other things ... but if I lacked the last year out of eight because I felt comfortable not having therapy because I had achieved what I had got there to do, does that make me yet unfit as a parent?
BS! Placement did not start off equal for me. I was given 0 placements from the get go. I had to pay and fight for placement. Whoever get majority of placement in Wisconsin pretty much get custody right over the other. My advice, stay legally single by not getting a STATE marriage license.
That's a lot of BS... they don't do anything for the child..!!! Believe me...I know.. they are worthless... they did nothing for me but take my $$... never contacted me or reports or home visits.. they are BS...
Once a last name is changed in most states the Parent with custody will be entirely responsible for all costs in medical,dental,housing,clothing, costs of further education.The change should be weighed carefully, resentments may fester in the child if change was made by a vindictive custodial ;parent. Emotional pain should be faced & help is available to the affected adult.D
