- Q. Father has memory issues. His Doctor wants me to have power of attorney . Is there a free service to assist .
- A: You can Google a power of attorney form. You will need to have your father's signature notarized. Look for a local lawyer that will help you with this. It should not be expensive and you will have peace of mind.
- Q. how do I get free legal aid for divorce and custody?
- A: Look for a legal aid office or agency in your local community. You can also check with your local clerk of court for information.
- Q. how does child support work
- A: Child support is based on each parent's income and the number of overnights spent with each parent. There is no child support obligation before a child is born. In order to establish child support one of the parents must apply to the court. Since you are not married it would be a paternity action.
