Truly, your son should never have had a bottle if you breast fed him to a year old. You have made this harder on the both of you. But what's done is done. So, the best thing to do is throw away...

Thanks Ash... unfortunately I wasted a lot of good time before I read your post..

A few points here, and I know some are repetitive of what you've already had, but here goes...

First, I get the impression that her lack of orgasm insults you somehow, as you boast of "always"...

Good advice Kanicky, but in my state you file for divorce in the county you have resided in for the last six months. If it's been less than 6 months you file in the county you used to reside in. ...

It is your house, you are paying the bills and the cell phone, etc... so change the rules. Tell her if she wants to be treated like an adult she has to pay the adult price... rent, her own cell...

It is possible for someone to obtain a marriage license without being divorced from the first spouse, but it is illegal, and his new marriage would not be valid. When you apply for a marriage...

Yes Fr Chuck, but he will still owe that support once he is out of jail... if he doesn't pay the back support, he will be incarcerated again.

Hopera - Her unemployment and relocations will not matter at all. The fact that the child is less than three years old means mom is protected by the "Tender Years Doctrine", which accepts stay at...

At two years old I think your best bet to communicate would be via a web-cam. Then he could see you and speak to you. You could read each other's facial expressions and he could learn to identify...

No, legally you have nothing binding as far as the termination of parental rights unless it is signed by a judge. Be careful, a father's rights to a baby are far more important than any home-made...

Sorry no one has responded, but I think it is the right thing to do. No offense meant here, but your son sounds almost as bad as your dil and her misinformed brood. I hope your son comes around...

He can sign legal documents to give up the rights of being a father, such as no contact, no visits, no vacations, etc... but as far as I am aware, in no state of the US can a dad relinquish the...

I am unfamiliar with Florida law. I would guess that you could petition for a name change, but the judge would likely delay an order based on paternity tests. Until the dad is proven to be the dad,...

It is best to have an immigration lawyer for your wife, as the INS paperwork gets a bit redundant and confusing. I married a foreigner who worked in the US at the time we met. We married in the US,...

It sounds to me like it is an emotional affair, not a physical one, therefore I feel it can be ended, forgiven, and behind you if you both commit to counseling. Some people are able to forgive the...

I don't know how it works in the UK, but in the US if one parent sues for custody the other has to be notified or there has to be proof of an honest attempt to notify. I doubt joint custody would be...

I don't believe you are even asking... of COURSE it is you job to care for and protect his child as if he were your own... the very fact you need to ask makes me feel you are unworthy of such a task....

Hello? Get real! The problem here is not an overly or inappropriate sexual relationship between daughter and father! It is JEALOUSY! Jealousy on the OP's part (who I may remind you all is the...

No. Without a court order or custody agreement, you are not required to send your daughter anywhere. Let him sue for a paternity test if he wants to prove his relationship to her.

Is there a written custody agreement/order filed in court anywhere? If so, it will be difficult to change who has him the majority of the time if the dad fights you on it. If he is agreeable, all...

Times have changed and doctors are urging babies to be off the bottle completely by 12 months to protect the teeth. Both of my children were off by one year. One day the bottles were just gone, and...

Since when is 13 an adult?? Not even close! And as for the OP, clearly she isn't an adult either... she still needs her mom's permission.

If your mom and your child are happy about the arrangement and the only thing putting you off is guilt, then you either have to find a way to feel less guilty about it, or re-adjust the arrangement. ...

He sounds like a pain in the... anyway, I don't think it is being picky to make sure your child is being picked up by someone in particular. I had similar concerns when my ex and I split and named...

If you signed the form acknowledging paternity and so did she, your rights are already secured. It is up to you to assert them. It sounds to me like she is trying to intimidate you by allowing you...

A birth certificate does not prove you to be the father... since you were not married you both would had to have signed a form that acknowledged you as the father and it should have been filed at the...

Get the court order established first. START RIGHT NOW, TODAY! Don't sever all ties to the dad for the child. Offer to allow the dad to visit for a set number of hours in your home under your...

Take in the article you posted in the paper... I would think that is all you can do if you truthfully have no way of being able to find the father.

My ex and I meet at a point that it half way (time wise) between our homes for every exchange. While in my state it is common for the non-custodial parent to pick up and drop off the child, I didn't...

Not to mention no one will ever look at you the same way... parents won't want you to watch their children, employers will hire others before you when you get older... it changes people's perception...

Has your husband notified the Cal child support system that he is unemployed? Sometimes you can get a break of a few months in payments... he will still have to pay them, they are just put off. If...

He will only be permitted to see the baby through the nursery window, he will not be allowed into the nursery or allowed to take your child from the nursery, so don't sweat that. I agree with...

It isn't easy to get a child's last name changed once it has been established without the consent of both parents. I would be willing to bet that you'd be safe from having to change it, especially...

First of all, he doesn't get to be in the labor and delivery room unless you want him there. So he will just have to put himself through hell. Secondly, he isn't going to be on the birth...

I don't know about GA, but in PA it is just four months. You should call a family attorney and find out.

Just going to add my two cents... she is running to your ex because she knows you don't get along and he will support her even if he doesn't think what she is doing is right because it will upset...

I don't think you can fight and expect to win if the child's father isn't abusive or neglectful unless he abandoned the child for a period specified by your state's laws. The only way to get full...

My husband is in love with the Irish name Declan. I wasn't having it for my first son, but I have given way that if we have a second boy he can choose the name... and I know what it will be.

Some kids don't like anything that is frozen, it's too cold to handle. A cold wet washcloth is just as useful without being too cold. They can manipulate it easily and chew away to their heart's...

Ok, well now is the time to go to court and have the restraining order lifted. Ask him to do it. If he refuses, take him to court. Be clear that you do not want to rekindle your relationship and...

Why did he get a restraining order against you?

You have primary custody by the sounds of it... unless your ex neglects or abuses your child when she has her, you would be wasting your time to even attempt to diminish her visitation rights. A...

Mylecon drops worked wonders on my kids'. We never left home without them. Suppositories helped my son when he was constipated, but beware... when they start working you'll want to be out of the...

Contact a family law attorney.

My husband and I were stuck on what to give as a gift to someone whose parents we were friendly with... we decided on $50.00, but knew her quite well. We also had it all in rolled pennies and put it...

A lot of kids prefer a bath to a shower... would she be interested in a bubble bath? Maybe that could be a reward on Sunday for showering well all week. I think you need to reward effort and punish...

I have to say I don't think you should say you wish you could all live together... it makes it sound like you want to, and clearly you don't. Saying things like that is liable to give her false hope...

If you feel like she is still lying and/or cheating then either she is, or you are completely unable to trust her. If it is the latter, that can be corrected through therapy, honesty, communication,...

I am from PA. I do not believe you can legally adopt this child without the bio dad's consent unless his rights have been terminated by the courts. You will be forced to locate him and get consent....

If he calls, great. If not, OK. I wouldn't go inviting him or imploring him to become a part of your son's life now. Especially if you don't feel he is committed to building a relationship with...
