In the state of California 41 years ago, my son was adopted by my exwife's new husband. Regarding child support both before and after the adoption can my ex take me to court for back child support payments when I contact my son?
Answer
The adoption by the step father "cut off" or terminated your obligation to pay child support. If a child support order was in place prior to the adoption, you would owe support for the period before the adoption. There is no expiration date on collecting unpaid child support arrears. If there was no court order for child support in place prior to the adoption, then it is too late to put an order in place now.
Answer
After the adoption, you would have had no responsibility to support your child. But, any order which was in place prior to the adoption would have remained until your rights were terminated. So, any arrears (non-payments) from the period prior to the marriage, would remain to exist even after the adoption, and even up to this date. Good luck!
Answer
Just to clarify, if there was no ordered but unpaid child support owed at the time of the adoption, she cannot come back now and ask for pre-adoption support. Only support that was ordered before the adoption and that remains unpaid could be the subject of any action now. She cannot come now and ask for support for before the adoption that was not ordered before the adoption.
Would a SAPCR need to be filed by a step parent whenever adopting a step child and terminating the biological father's rights?
Would a SAPCR need to be filed by a step parent whenever adopting a step child and terminating the biological father's rights?
Answer
No.
For a parent's right to be terminated that is a termination lawsuit.
For the step-parent to then adopt the child is an adoption lawsuit.
They are separate lawsuits but they would be handled together by the court.

Answer
If she is able to refuse treatment, your services as health care proxy should not be needed. A doctor will assess her ability to make and communicate health care decisions.
Answer
You are able to exercise the Medical Proxy only if she is unable or not competent to make her own medical decisions. If you feel she is not competent to make the decisions and her physician agrees, then you can seek to have someone appointed as her guardian,'
Otherwise, you can only suggest that such a decision is wrong.

My ex and I have joint legal custody. He has primary physical possession. Today, since they are coming to me for my superior right of possession, it has always been that he has to bring them to me by 6 PM but now that I have moved farther away, I guess it is more of a bother now, so he says I have to pick them up! And this was told to me last night! Is this correct? Since I am in the midst of moving and temporarily do not have the court documents with me. Does this sound at all right to you? And, one more thing, if he does not have them here tonight at 6 PM, can I call the police?
Thank you,
Tiffany Smith
Answer
It's entirely possible that the order may specify that the drop-off/pick-up arrangements change if a parent moves. I can't tell you what YOUR order says, obviously, but yes, that's a common provision. Look at it this way: he doesn't have any control at all over where you decide to move. Given that, would it be fair for him to be the one to have to deal with greater transportation costs and time just because you decided to move? I'm not saying that you don't have the right to move or good reason to move, or even that your particular order necessarily even provides the change that he's saying it does, just that that would not be an uncommon provision to have and looking at it from the other side, there are some good reasons to have that possibility covered.
If it's that big a concern to you, and you can't find your copy of the SAPCR order, you might want to just go to the clerk and get another copy so you'll know for sure what it says. I would strongly discourage you from calling the police for a number of reasons: it will worsen the situation between you and your ex, it would undoubtedly be traumatic for your kids if they realized you'd called the police, and you're not going to get anywhere with it anyway unless you can show the officer a certifie copy of the order and it very clearly states a provision that he is very obviously in blatant violation of at that moment.
If you've got a problem with this, you can take the case back to court. It's very seldom that involving the police is the right thing to do in a custody situation, and it should never be your first approach unless someone is actually in real danger. Good luck.
