Divorce Advice for Men | Fathers Rights Divorce | Child Custody

Question:

I was a minor when my child was born to my ex-girlfriend. When I went to court for what I thought was to give the child my last name I instead was ordered to pay back child birth expenses.

They are threatening to charge me interest on this bill and intercept my tax refund.

Is this possible for the state to require I reimburse the medical costs by taking my tax refund?

Question:

At what age can a minor child stay home alone without supervision?  

Question:

I am required to pay my ex-wife for work-related child care expenses when she works and my child would otherwise be left home alone.

I pay child care costs, even though my ex-wife allows my child to stay home alone most of the time. I am fine with him staying home alone for a few hours after school as he is old enough and responsible enough.

So shouldn't I be allowed to stop paying for child care costs as ordered by the divorce decree if my ex-wife is only sparingly using expensive child care?

Question:

I am very concerned about my young child's safety while with my wife as we go through the divorce process.

There is a history of the mother having significant untreated mental health issues and abuse of prescription medications. She is a danger to herself and especially our small child.

On top of this, our divorce case keeps getting delayed because of her filing for continuances so my child is at more risk with each passing day.

What legal action can I take on behalf of protecting my child?
