Legal Answers
Q. I have pending charges on my background and it’s been 4 years. Can I get these charges dropped and cleared from my recor
A: You're going to have to resolve the charges, either by trial, plea or motion to dismiss, before you can have your record restricted or cleared.
Q. The mother has left with the child and refuses to let me see him and she is living with a coworker. What should I do
A: That depends. If there is a custody order, you would need to file a contempt action. If there is no order of custody, you would need to petition the court to establish one. That can be done through a legitimation action if you and the mother are not married or a divorce if you are.
Q. What is the easiest steps to be legitimized and gain parental rights to your biological child
A: Attorney Edwards is correct. A legitimation through Superior Court is the only way to establish custody and parenting time rights for a father of a child born out of wedlock.
