7 Questions Answered
- Q. Cousin forged power of attorney and took my phone and papers, can't contact family.
- A: I am not sure I understand whether your caregiver had a valid Power of Attorney, meaning one that you did actually sign, and then that caregiver signed your name (which you believe is a forgery) to another Power of Attorney to include her sister
OR whether your caregiver never had a valid Power of Attorney because she forged your name to that document and then she created a subsequent document giving her sister Power of Attorney for you.
If you believe that your caregiver never had a valid Power of Attorney and has taken your phone and papers and created subsequent fraudulent documents, OR if she had a valid Power of Attorney but went beyond her powers and named her sister in a subsequent ... Read More
- Q. If I have full custody of my child but she visits her mom on the weekends do I need her permission to move out of state
- A: Even though you have custody as a result of a DCF case, you would still need to get the permission of the Probate and Family court before you could move out of state with your child if MA removal laws apply. MA law requires you to get permission-
IF your child was born in MA or has lived in MA for more than 5 years, if your child is not old enough to consent, and if you and your child’s Mother have a MA case for divorce, paternity and/or support- and may apply even if you have an old case. (for Pittsfield MA that is the Berkshire Probate and Family court). You will need to demonstrate to the court that you have a good reason for moving and that the move is in your child’s best interest. ... Read More
- Q. Ex stopped paying child support because he had one and I had one. His is 19 and out of his house. Mine is 17.
- A: Massachusetts child support laws allow for child support and educational expenses payments even after your child turns 18 and up to 23 years of age. The court looks at whether your child is “principally dependent” upon one parent which is usually understood to mean that the adult child lives primarily with one parent and includes time when your child is living at college as long as he/she lives with you during breaks and school vacation. An attorney can help review any orders you currently have in place to determine how best to proceed. Child support may be awarded retroactively, but only back to the day of filing, so If you are entitled to support, you should consider that as well.
