Children divorcing from parents…?

In the state of Kansas how old does my child have to be to divorce her biological father in order for her step father to adopt her?
I have sole custody and there is a no contact order between her and her father. He only has the right to pay child support and medical care. And he WON’T insure her!!! She needs medical and dental attention urgently!
My husband who has been her Daddy since she was 1 1/2 would like to adopt her but the biological father will not sign his only remaining rights away.
What can we do? Is there anything where we can make this happen and her biological father not keep messing things up? Any advice and help would be appreciated GREATLY! Thank you for your time.
I know that my husband who has been her true Daddy for 10 1/2 years are going to have to be the ones that take her father to court.
Sadly, none of us have medical insurance even though it is needed. The father is ordered by court to provide medical and pay medical expenses.
She will turn 12 at the end of July.




I have severe depression, really bad mood swings, i am also a self mutilator, and very self distractive, i am ready to help myself and try counseling or therapy but i have no medical insurance i know i need help asap because i am having severe suicidal thoughts and dreams… Please some1 help..




For insurance purposes, I am trying to see if I am eligible for TAMP(transitional assistance) Tricare Health Insurance. It says one must have been involuntarily separated. I got out after completing a four year contract. For unemployment benefits, I’m considered involuntary seperated ( I think).

Basically does "Involuntary separation" mean that you got kicked out, or that you just finished your contract and couldn’t serve any further? Thanx




i’m a paranoid person. and my girlfriend is a very on and off person. we want to get married but i’m thinking a want a prenuptial thing. i’m going to be honest. i’m a selfish person and i think that maybe one of my ideas might just shoot off and i don’t want her at some point to want to end things and get half of my earnings and property. the reason i’m so worried is because even tho she loves me and i love her is that she asks for us to be in an open relationship fairly often. she wants to be with other guys while with me but doesn’t want to say so. when i ask her about it she says she wants to experience things and if i ask with who she just ends the conversation. its really more of an insurance policy for me so that she doesn’t feel tempted to stray during the relationship. i feel bad about bringing it up. i don’t want her to think money is more important then her to me. i just don’t want her to think that if everything goes bad that she can leave this relationship on a free ride.




What can he do about visitation with his child?

My boyfriend has a 5 year old daughter that was born in Tennessee. He is listed on the birth certificate as the father. He pays child support and health insurance. Originally he was ordered to have the child every Sunday. He and the mother were never together. He and I have been together for 6 years (since the mom was 2 months pregnant), so the child has known me all her life. However the mother has always been bitter toward both of us. 2 years ago she moved with her parents and his daughter to Pennsylvania. For the last 2 years things have been relatively civil and the mom cooperated to let us get the child for some holidays and some of the summer. Recently, however, there was a fight between me, the mother, my boyfriend, and mom’s new boyfriend. Since then she has threatened that he will never see his child again and that she’s getting a lawyer (although she doesn’t have a case, since the child is not mistreated by us in any way). Immediately following the fight, she stopped censoring what she says about the 2 of us to his child and needless to say, the child is going along with what mommy tells her. She wont call him anymore and when he calls, the daughter yells into the phone that she doesn’t want to talk to him. What should he do at this point? Can he get a new visitation schedule ordered by the court since technically the old one was violated? Will he or the mother be in trouble for not notifying child support or court that she was moving 2 years ago? Any advice regarding what his next move should be is greatly appreciated.
just to specify, he and I have a wonderful relationship with his daughter. She has never reacted this way toward him until after the mother got mad infront of her.




My husband is in a codependent relationship with his brother, who has issues with gambling and substance, and who has been in and out of prison for the past 6 years. H "detached" from brother and was doing well, but now BIL is out of jail, and I learned from a credit card bill that H had rented a car for BIL for a month and a half on our insurance, using his own license. BIL has a suspended license for DUIs. If there had been an accident where there were injuries or death, we would have been liable, and insurance wouldn’t have covered it. We could have lost everything — house, assets, the works, and with three teens headed for college, it would have been disastrous. I can’t believe my husband did this without consulting me, and that he did something that put the family’s financial welfare at stake. I can’t trust my husband anymore and would like to protect our assets. I would like to avoid divorce for the kids’ sake, but is that possible in this case?
Thanks for responses so far. To respond to Frank, my H and I separated for 6 months 4 years ago over these issues. At that time, H was pulling money out of bank accounts to bail B out, and another time, pressuring me to take out a Home Equity on our home to save B’s house in foreclosure. H did some therapy and recovery for his codependency because he was not "helping" but destroying himself and his own family to enable his brother, and we reconciled with H committing to stop enabling. Now, it is the same cycle over and over again. If H did not learn after a separation, how will he learn if I just sit down and have a "chat" with h im? This has all been tried before, but the pattern is continuing, and now it includes lying to me as well. There will be no college for these 3 kids if an incident like this happens again.




Can I put this in a prenuptial agreement?

If I became a doctor, adn was rich and married a woman who did not make that much money, could I put the following in the agreement:
In the result of a divorce(and during the marriage): We have our own bank, insurance, and legal accounts. Nothing is mixed up. If I buy a house or a car, it is completely mine. What I earn in mine, and what she earns is hers. So we we get a divorce and the house was bought with my money, the house is still completely mine after a divorce, and it is all mine during marriage, so I decide if her friend or family can stay for a few days or so.




Financial Rewards. could be money wise, good on resume, insurance benefits, etc. Specific ones if possible please.

Also, are there any opportunities for advancement when your a marriage/family counselor, if so what?




We are Oregon residents and plaintiff discovered that prenuptial agreement states that wife is not entitled to extra $ for marital assets just the set amount that was written? Even though he signed and agreed to this settlement, he is angry he and his attorney (who wrote the original pre-nup) missed this detail. So he feels like he is getting screwed out of extra $ and is quite mad about it. Now a malpractice suit is being investigated on his attorney. Will this money be subtracted from my settlement? Or will his attorney’s insurance cover her mistake, or will it just stay as it is because we both signed? It was submitted to courts for Judge signature but I’m pretty sure was not signed by judge yet. Any knowledge on this?

My fiancee and her soon-to-be ex have been separated for some time, and she and I have been together for a good while. We plan to marry, and her divorce is filed and she is awaiting finalization. For obvious romantic reasons and the practicality of adding her to my insurance, we want to get married as soon as possible. With most places wanting 30 days prior to the wedding date to process a license application, is there anything that would impair applying for the license before her divorce is final?
