- A: Yes, you can initiate a contempt action against the other parent on behalf of the minor child.
- Q. When two people own land in Mississippi and one passes away who is entitled to that persons share in the land?

- Q. The steps to file for divorce from different states
- A: Since he lives in Georgia, unless he contests it, it should be relatively straightforward and inexpensive. I would encourage you to reach out to an attorney to further discuss. Most attorneys on here, myself included, provide free consultations to see how we can help out.
- Q. Do I have rights to my children's records if I am a non custodial parent and custody papers state I am entitled to know?
- A: It is sure. So long as it is allowed under the court order, and you have joint legal custody, you are entitled to all information concerning your children.
- Q. Can I get papers at my court House for my daughter dad to sign his right over so my husband can adopt her?
- A: Doubtfully. You will likely need to hire an attorney to file the necessary TPR paperwork and schedule a hearing so that the Court can ensure that the father is doing everything voluntarily and with full knowledge of what he is doing.
