Legal Answers
- Q. How do I undo an adoption?
- A: Adoptions can be reversed (aka "vacated") under certain limited circumstances. These limited circumstances are statutory and can be found at Family Code §9100 et. seq. Such limited circumstances include if the adopted child shows evidence of a developmental disability or mental illness as a result of conditions existing before the adoption and of which the adoptive parents or parent had no knowledge or notice before the entry of the order of adoption. You should consult directly with an adoption lawyer.
- Q. Divorce filed with the court on 10/21
- A: You are divorced when the Judgment and Notice of Entry of Judgment have been filed with the court. A marital settlement agreement alone is not enough to get you to the end of your case. There are other steps to be taken and other documents that need to be filed. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/divorce-california
- Q. filed RFO 2 Modify custody, mediation date given.Ex filed RFO affter,How many days b4 mediation do papers have 2 b serve
- A: The deadline for service of a Request for Order is 16 court days (plus 5 calendar days for service by USPS) prior to the hearing date on that Request for Order. The service deadline is not related to the date of your mediation. The fact that she failed to serve you with a blank Responsive Declaration doesn't invalidate her motion. She must still file a Responsive Declaration to your motion and you still have to file a Responsive Declaration to her motion.
