I am an 18-year-old female who wants to change my last name. My birth certificate in El Paso County, Texas, originally listed another man as my father. My real father gained custody of me when I was 4, and a DNA paternity test was taken, stating positive. I have had a birth certificate with the original name for the past 18 years, but now I want to get a driver’s license and need to change the last name on my birth certificate.

So my mom is placed on hospice and cannot make decisions for herself. My dad is her husband, legally married, but he wants to sign me power of attorney to be able to help with all the financial stuff. Who do I put as first on the paperwork, my dad or my mom?

In NC I wanted to clarify that when a separation occurs are both parties still responsible to pay their portion of a marital home in order to have their legal share of the home should it be sold once the divorce is set to be done after the year has passed?

My ex-husband is an addict (alcohol and drugs), cannot hold a job and cannot hold up his end of visitation. It is supposed to be 50/50, but he was only seeing them about 4 hours a week, on Sunday. In June, he brought them home so drunk that he could hardly walk and they haven’t seen him since.
