She definitely needs time and attention. She probably has had a difficult life, as greyhounds who race often do. She needs love and affection. Is she housebroken? If so, why the crate? She might...

It's hard to answer this without knowing where you're from, but my suggestion would be to call your local bar association, legal aid office or women's organizations and explain your situation. They...

She sounds like she has sex addiction issues and you should think seriously about leaving this craziness. You should also request DNA tests as soon as the child is born. When does she have time to...

I agree with Fr Chuck. Many families have different names as many women do not change their names or remarry and have children with different fathers.

If you give him a hyphenated name, he...

You have to satisfy the residency requirement of Texas before you can file for divorce. I believe it's 6 months in Texas. It doesn't matter where you got married; it matters where you live.

You're confusing notice with divorce. If you can't find someone many states agree to "constructive" notice, meaning that you have made every attempt to find someone to serve them with papers. If...

He's a big boy who can't be responsible enough to behave the way a husband is supposed to behave.

There are consequences to your actions. He has to put his big boy pants on (provided he can find...

You need to be number one or none at all. Tell him that you are not willing to be friends or anything else. You have to value yourself enough to refuse this second rate treatment.

All the power in my basement went off and the circuit was not tripped. All we're running is small freezer and an overhead light and they're on separate outlets. Any ideas?

Maybe the question needs to be why you're staying in this marriage if so much is missing. Perhaps the on-line relationship is just a big red flag that you need to get out.

It sounds like there is a lot of STUFF here. It's not just your texting, which is not excusable, but you never addressed how you feel neglected or all the fighting.

When we don't deal with our...

That is really tough. Been there, done that. I did it with someone for 5 months (I was finishing graduate school) and it was AWFUL.

Definitely stay busy... give her space... don't try to talk...

I agree to keep hanging out and enjoying her company.

At some point you might want to say something like, "Your friendship means everything to me and I don't ever want to ruin that and I know...

I'd really suggest therapy. It sounds like you could benefit from therapy and maybe even medication. Hang in there.

The hyphenated name is his legal name. If it's Smith-Jones it would be the same as if it were Smithjones. You can't just lop off part of it.

You would need his consent to change it.

This seems like an uphill battle to trust her again and to even get to a place where you would be comfortable. Is it really worth the trouble? At your age you have so much living to do and don't...

I would consider it cheating. I was with my ex-husband and he started "talking" (no internet at the time) to co-workers etc at a young age. I tried to ignore it, to fight it, to threaten etc.
He...

Agree (but had to spread the rep).

Sometimes the "challenge of the emotionally unavailable" is mistaken for "swept off my feet" and usually it's impossible to explain that to someone.

Love is an action. It's not what you say, it's what you do. Love is not something that is there and then it's not. If you say you love someone, your actions jibe with that. If not, then they...

It's a matter of learning who to allow in your life and who doesn't deserve to be there. You DO teach people how to treat you and you're not taking responsibility for keeping people out who will...

The Respondent has the right to a hearing. Notice and a hearing. Constitutional right. Can't motion around that.

You can sue in small claims court. He's not saying you didn't sell it to him, he's saying he's not paying you because your husband owes him money. No court is going to buy that as a defense. ...

I think you have all your terms mixed up. Summary Judgment is not the same as a judgment and I don't know what you mean by "state a clame [sic] to the judge." And I don't know what "notice of...

Check the requirements in your jurisdiction. Most require you to send a certified letter to their last known address or to a relative and then put a notice in the paper. You should definitely...

You said it: you are being beaten down. Why continue with this? He's trying to manipulate you into a three-way and he's eroding your self-esteem.

You deserve so much more than this. Kick this...

Although this hurts it seems like you two have a lot to learn about relationships. Trying to cobble a marriage together and possibly having children is not the place to learn it.

It sounds like...

It hasn't been that long, really. Grief is a process and you're still in the middle of it. Getting over it isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Take time and be good to you and be okay with where you...

We get hurt when we breakup because we have lost something of value and that hurts and we must grieve the end of anything of value and that grief includes feelings like sorrow and anger that are...

I suggest you make sure, through an advocate or someone, that she definitely knows you love her and want to see her when she's ready.

Teenagers are funny and when they only hear one side of...

Why do you think that someone who verbally and emotionally abuses you is "so perfect"? It sounds like a sado-masochistic relationship that he feels better when you denigrate yourself.

Let go of...

What? A judge does not have to follow anything.

You are correct. My apologigs. I don't know what it is in Michigan. In NY the court may award the guardian ad litem the fees or assign the parties, if they can, to pay. But in NY you can petition...

Tell her to get into court and file for temporary orders. The police cannot arrest her for leaving her house. But she needs to get into court as soon as she can. If she can get an attorney asap,...

You can ask the court for a guardian ad litem for your son. It costs nothing.

Get her checked by the vet to make sure it's not a medical issue. Keep her in the room with you and keep her crated at night and when you're not home. Take her out often and when she goes outside...

For 3 months? A 3 month old baby doesn't take up that much space.

I agree that most courts will not allow it but every court is different, every jurisdiction has its own precedent. Which is how lawyers stay employed.

But that's one jurisdiction and an unpublished opinion which is not precedent in most other places.

If someone's rights were terminated involuntarily they will most likely be required to pay support but I was talking about voluntary termination (the OP's situation) and most likely they will not be...

Have you talked to the public defender's office?

While child support terminates when parental rights do, courts tend to be very reluctant to terminate parental rights. If he terminates parental rights he has no right to see the child. Consult a...

You need to decide for yourself. If anyone dragged me across the country to where he was from and then left me hanging so he could have time and figure it out, the "greatness" ship would have...

There's really not. It's a matter of public record.

You get what you put up with.

Love is an action. It's not what you say, it's what you do. If he is abusing you, he does not love you. If you are allowing it, you do not love yourself and...

We're not quite sure what he is doing or planning to do.

That's known as kidnapping.

The court will usually take a adolescent's preference into account. While the court has the last word and makes the determination, the child's preference is taken into consideration if there are no...

He doesn't sound like your soulmate. He moved you all the way across the country and then took on extra gigs (volunteer firefighting) and now there's all this drama with other people.

There...

It doesn't say that you KNOW that his mom is behind this, just that you think.

If they are struggling with a family illness they might not care whether you are taken care of (and I'm not saying...

You might want to help your sister leave. Call the DV helpline and ask for suggestions. Many DV victims are in danger when they think of leaving or start to leave. Call the DV hotline. ...
