Parent Trap? Litigation Explodes Over Paternity Fraud
It should be noted that even though previously states didn’t allow paternity testing once the man was paying child support, it was allowed in custody challenges the prove he had no right to the child. The drawback of that is the woman than forfeits her support claim, but than she can file a retroactive claim against the bio dad. None of what she gets from the bio dad is required to be paid back to the ex boyfriend or husband that not only supported the child, but also raised the child.
Genetic disorder specialists have been lobbying for years for for requirements that new born babies get DNA testing for potential genetic cause disorders. In this manner they can get early treatment, or at least, the parents taught what to expect. The cost can be absorbed into that. Also, just as has already happened, the cost will continue to drop as technology grows.

an individual family member is committing fraud in many ways. she has stolen credit cards somewhere to the amount of 50000.00 and steels all the time from stores. has recently started to apply for car loans with my dead moms ss#- only reason i know is the loan places keep calling me. she uses meth and has had some run ins with the cops. I know she is on camera doing this as one of the times she stole my stuff and went shopping. she has taken my id #’s along with many other peoples ids and ss#s. there are kids involved here so i am not sure what to do. i dont want the kids to go to the state but i dont want her to do them any more harm as they currently are living in a hotel, shortly to be homeless, so this is for sure very time sensitive. I have know idea what to do anymore and need help on what to do with her and if i turn her in how long would she get for like 7 federal crimes related to id theft? any help is appreciated.
this person is also my sister- and i dont want those kids going into foster care when they have lived with me before and can again at any point if the parents would just let them. oh the dad might be going to jail for a few violations of his own. the dad talks to us so he might be on my side with the kid factor

I’m nervous because my brother is going to court in a week and is suing for full custody of his children and we reside in a state that is known for having a sexist bias that favors mothers, New York State.
So, I’m wondering if people who have been through custody disputes can shed some light on whether they think is enough here for my brother gain full custody of his children.
The children have been in his temporary custody for about the past week or 2 when the judge issued the temporary custody arrangement with the belief that the children’s mother, who threatened to slit her wrist after an argument about housework, was deemed unstable. She is however allowed supervised visitation until they go to court.

Other information about this case and the children’s mother:
- The children’s mother has no stable place of residence. She’ll be living at my parents’ second home, which she shared with my brother, until the end of the 30 days that she is allotted before my parents can evict her.
- She has no steady income to provide for her children. She hasn’t held a steady job for more than 3 or 4 weeks at a time and hasn’t worked in over two years. Instead, she has lived off my brother for the last two years. He, on the other hand, has always held a steady job. She says that the reasons that she can’t work are due to anger problems and scoliosis of her back. she even tried to get a doctor to fill out paperwork saying she is medically unable to work due to these problems. The doctor refused, saying that medically there is no reason she can’t work.
- She dropped out of high school at 16 and therefore, sets a poor example for her children. my brother completed high school and did some college work.
- We recently found out that she had committed welfare fraud by failing to report two ,000 court settlements (which she received for an injury as a child) when she applied for food stamps and state assistance to supplement my brother’s income.
- She has no car or driver’s license to use for her children in case of emergencies.
-She has a documented history of domestic violence in the form of several police reports citing that she physically assaulted my brother.
- Even though she has visitation. Her children, ages 2 and 5, never want to see her. In fact, my 5 year old nephew said the other day that he didn’t want to see his mother because "Mommy is always angry."
- She and her mother, who she’ll be moving back with, are chain smokers and smoke around the kids. I don’t know how much weight the courts put on this issue, but as someone who had a history of asthma attacks as a child that were a result of my father’s smoking, I’m very passionate about children’s right to breathe clean air.

‘m asking people who have been through custody cases, do you think there is enough here for a man to sue for full custody of 2 children in a state that has a notorious reputation for leaning toward mothers?

My ex wife and I are tryng to get divorced, long story short there was a family law standing pretrial order saying a bunch of stuff about not being able to get rid of stuff, add debts…etc. However, she went and moved down to south florida with her parents where she lied and said she was a single person and was put on the mortgage with her parents. Now I know she is not a "single" person as we are not divorced yet becasue she wont file necssary papers..but isnt that contempt..I mean she went out and got in on this debt with her parents..which I have no idea how she got approved since she does not work! Meanwhile I am stuck waiting on a divorce hearng in Aug. to deal with the fact nothing is being done. Should I have my lawyer file contempt charges? How do I notify anyone of her fraud saying she was a single person… technically that is a marital asset right?
All Iknow is after we went to mediation I we agreed would pay her 2 years back child support and let her dad adopt our child.. that was the last time I saw her. She packed up and moved with her parents. I looked it up on the internet where her and her parents are on the mortgage… but only the parents are on the deed. But the family law order said neither her nor I could incur unreasonalbe or unnecessary debts until the divorce in final. I would not be out for blood, but I went to mediation last year and once I agreed to let her dad adopt the child between us and she split town, her and he lawyer have iled to file necessary papers so we can get divorced and her lawyer will not communicate with mine… so it is back to court and I KNOW she will not be at the hearing in Aug. She isnt going to drive 8 hours for that. I am sure she will come up with some lame excuse and just have it drug out longer.

My sister in law was involved in an accident with another member of my family. Her mother went around to cops, insurance companies, courthouse etc. and told them all that she was my sister inlaws power of attorney and they gave her information. She is using this information to cause trouble for my other family member. She also used this information to get temporary custody of my nephew. Can she be charged with anything for doing this or is she just a liar?
my nephew was in custody of the court but living with his parents. When she was in the wreck and in the hospital her mom went to family services counselor to tell a bunch of lies and got temp custody so she can get food stamps and a check.

i want to get some but my parents are worried about Identity theft

Wanting commentary on fraud, please, and how it relates to custody agreements.
I understand that fraud is one issue that can invalidate any agreement. I also know that most fraud has statute of limitations. Assume that a criminal act DID happen (kidnapping), and because of intimidation or other abusive pressures, the facts were withheld from the court. Would concealing or direct lies about the circumstances of the kidnapping be considered as fraud towards the COURT? (yes, I understand it to be perjury also).
Assume, then, that if the court is unaware of any possible crime, how might this affect the validity of any "voluntary" agreement, in which the parents signed a relinquishment of custody (to the grandparent). Parents were not fully aware of issues concerning what, in fact, constitutes kidnapping. They did not have a lawyer to represent them, nor any understanding of the terms of relinquishing custody. Following the "agreement", they were isolated from persons who might have helped them, both family or lawyers.

Looking only at the original status at the time this happened, would any "agreement" be seen as invalid? Would a court define it as "freely and knowingly"??
This is for my own knowledge and understanding. For various reasons, the parents are not presently attempting to contest the case. I am just wanting various views on how legal or not, any relinquishment may have been.
In Texas, and no, not hypothetical. I certainly get asked that a lot, since it is hard to imagine a more messed up situation, or the level of control from the parties involved.

In a completely HYPOTHETICAL context…. if my parents asked me to use my SSN for a cousin who couldn’t get his own in the US, how would I best communicate that this is a bad idea. I’m working abroad with an US company. I realize that this is a bad idea just to have other people knowing your SSN, especially someone you don’t really trust, but…

can someone spell out more reasons (and penalties) not to do this so I could warn against it? Thanks.

Grandma is obsessed with non existant abuse/neglect, and wants to take children from parents, with no legal grounds. Has already filed several false reports w/ cps. She is outraged when parents move, against her wishes. She coerces her son (with offer of land?) to take kids, and file for divorce… knowing that divorce is only grounds on which she can intervene for custody. He is sucked into it, and files divorce petition (w/ fraudulent statements about how kids were taken), until talking to wife and realizing mistake, decides to reconcile with his wife. When he decides to make things right, grandma runs with the kids..and files affidavit with court that she was "protecting" the children. Court grants her custody based on her perjury.
Is it defined as fraud against the court? After she has grabbed kids, parents are too scared to fight and sign agreement, without a lawyer. Dad’s "original" lawyer was part of the divorce plan, knowing why grandma wanted divorce.
Proof (court records, police reports against grandma, etc) are available, which PROVE she took kids, not because in "danger" but as retaliation against parents for moving from her property.

Would you trust a lawyer who’s represented a group of voter fraud pushing, community activists who pushed banks to make unsound loans? Who trained activists to pressure banks to make these unsecure loans?

A lawyer with a history of dealing with criminals to help them politically, and radicals who’ve murdered in the past and had that lawyer put money into the goal of shaping students thinking towards the hate of democracy and capitalism in favor of communism, and the willingness to violently fight against it? A guy who told children "Kill your parents, burn their homes, that’s what it’s all about!"?

A lawyer who supported and contributed to a radical preacher and church who’ve blamed racism for aids? Who’ve said the USA is an evil place? Who’ve said the US deserved what happened on 911? A lawyer who used that preacher and church as his main spiritual adviser and personal friend? A lawyer who only separated himself from these bad, crazy, and dangerous people, when he began to run for office?

A Lawyer who’s already lied about his commitment to take public funding? A lawyer who has a track record which is contrary to the positions he’s just recently picked up when he saw those would be more popular than his life long documented (by votes and other actions) positions?

Would you trust this guy to keep his word? Would you trust this lawyer to choose your best interests over his own?

Not me, I’ve noticed that people, especially lawyers tend to say what will get them what they want, but go back to who they are after they get what they want out of their WORDS.

My friend got married to Praveena Gajjala in 2006 hailing from Hanamakonda – Warangal. She had an illegal affair, her parents and sister (father: Rajeshwar Rao, Mother: Sujatha and Sister: Soujanya) were aware about her intimate relationship with Tarun Agarwal. My friend discovered about her earlier marital relationship only after taking her to overseas and had got all the proofs in this regards. My friend is looking forward to take a legal action against her and her family members. Please do advice him!

A 16 year old who handed in several fraudulant medical notes to cover absences at school? The notes came from the hospital, but weren’t the teenager’s (she changed the name/dates etc. to her own). If the school was to call the hospital to check, what would happen to the girl? and to her parents?
I already have used the notes a few times, and nobody has every called to check on them, but I just want to be knowledgable about what could happen to me. I have no bad history aside of missing school a little too much.
I was most worried about whether or not my parents would recieve a fine.

My nephew (he’s 7 years old), he is autistic and he gets a disability check from SS. He doesn’t live with his parents, he lives with my grandparents, and the check is in his mother’s name so she gets all the money every month and only gives maybe a month to my grandparents to help raise my nephew (only thanks to my mom handling all of my brother’s bills). Is it illegal if the mother puts down that my nephew lives with her and his father when he really doesn’t, and she gets the check and spends all of it on her & her bills?

I have a friend, she is Brazilian and she is currently in Brazil but she wants to come to the USA as a tourist visa. Her boyfriend is here in the USA but is currently illegal but soon will be getting his green card to be legal here. She was wondering if she gets married here in the USA with him, who is currently illegal. What would happen to them? Would he be deported? Also, what would happen to her since she would be here on a tourist visa?

Another question is if I know a person who is a US citizen and wants to marry an illegal alien here in the USA. Would they be able to get married? If yes, what would happen to the illegal spouse? Would the marriage count as a fraud? Also, would the illegal person be deported back to his/her own country?

Last question, if two people are illegal in the USA and want to get married. Is that possible? If they did, would they get deported? And if they have a child together, and the child is a US citizen, what would happen to the child? since both parents are illegal here in the US.

how would u stop the fraud in welfare as in — for instance most people getting welfare and link card use this card as a way to get money they sellin half or all of the procedes an use the money to by drugs an not worying about thier own kids theyd would rather buy drugs then buy food for thier kids so my question is how would u attempt to stop this abuse of kids an so forth , i think they should use as a prerequesite to getting welfare i think that all persons collecting welfare of any kind should get drug tested, but my question to u all is wat kind of program can be put into place to make shure that the welfare money (our tax dollars) go striaght into the hands of kids, or at leest making shure that the kids are getting wat they should be getting, too many times i see kids malnutritioned an hungry an the parents go get high all day long while kids suffer , an this goes on every month in this country an all the tax payers money goes into drug cartells pockets, ok so in reality our money supports the drug trades, im doin a school report an need some insight on how to fix this problem ok an thanks for ur help ron, i do want drug testing but wen parents fail wat do we do then for the kids ?????

child and parents live in mexico but putting a friends address to get birth certificate, wic and medicaid and who knows what else. i wondered even if the child is born in the u. s. is it considered fraud to put a false address?

This is a long and complex question, so it may take someone with immigration law experience to answer, but I would greatly appreciate any answers or advice that anyone can contribute.

My friend immigrated here with her parents when she was 14 years of age. Since that time, she has done everything right, followed all the US laws, filed all the paper work on time, renewed her green card on time, worked and paid taxes diligently and honestly, and bettered herself through education, achieving a bachelor’s degree and multiple research publications through a prestigious university. She is currently attending a medical school outside the US, which is dependent on her status as a permanent US resident.

However, her family has now come under investigation for potential fraud that her parents may have commited when entering the country. I hope that she is telling me the whole story, so that the circumstances I describe here will result in an accurate and useful answer. So, here is what she told me about the cause of the investigation.

Apperently there was some technicality that made it easier for her family to enter the US if her parents were not married. So, her parents divorced for the purpose of entering the country as single individuals, and remarried at a later date after entering the country. Somehow, some review of their case took notice of this scenario of events, which has been accused as fraud, and now the entire family is due to appear in court for a deportation hearing. Although, the youngest of the children (now 24) who also entered the country at the same time as the rest of the family has been granted citizenship. All of the other family members have tried to get citizenship but been delayed and denied up until this point. Somehow, one sibling was treated differently. Since he is the only citizen, he will be left behind in the US if the rest of his family is deported.

My questions about this case centers on my friend only, the daughter. She was only 14 at the time, and had no knowledge of what her parents were doing. Since that time, she has been an OUTSTANDING member of our society and is on the way to becoming an even more valuable asset to our society with an MD degree as she intends to practice medicine in the US and is interested in serving the underprivileged. She is politically and civically knowledgable and eager to participate as an active member of a healthy and happy US community. In my opinion, this immigrant epitomizes the characteristics of what we ideally consider to be a fine, upstanding US citizen. She has done nothing wrong. So, how can she get out from under the mess that her parents have caused? Although she came here under her parents immigration documents, can she be considered independently from her parents in this case? Can she be allowed to remain in the US and continue her education? What should she do?

this is my parents case not mind. im helping them.
Ok. we used to have a restuarant in california for 10 years. my parents decided to sell it because of the stress.

We recently found out about some loans that were taking out on my parents home. There was a total of two loans. One for 30,000 and another for 80,000 taken out agianst our house. The thing is my parents never took out the loans at all they were planning on selling to move out of state and now there stuck with these loan agencys . The funny thing is that the 30,000 loan was distruited among the people that did the loan and all the paper work was fradulent and none of the information or signatures were accurate. The point is i need to know if theres any good attorneys or pro bono ones that will help my parents out? Or if theres somewhere where they can take the next steps to get this handled? My parents are not rich and right now are struggling with health and family issues and i just want to help them the best way i can

My husband added his ex girl friend to his bank account when they broke up so that his daughter would never go with out. It was an innocent mistake he was trying to do the right thing. After she cleaned out his life savings she reported to child support that she received nothing, (that is fraud) and he was sent a bill for ,000.00. Upon showing bank documentations he was told that they were irrelevent. He is not allowed custody because of this back owed amount and was orderd to pay 00.00/mo. My children and I were forced to live in our car in the parking lot at the beach. When I went to welfar I was told my husband made too much money. This girl has her parents raising her children while she lives it up for free, on my kids money. I have written congress, I have requested a lower amount and they gave him 7per mo. He had to quit his job in San Diego, and move in with Satan (mother in law) We are unable to rebuild what was destroyed, I don’t have 7/mo for my two children.
God I hate stupid fucking people! no wonder you women are treated like whores!!!
I don’t want welfar you ignorant shit head! My husband makes more than enouph money to support his wife and children! but when he is garnished unfairly on false claims they owe a duty to make sure what they are doing is right.
