How do I write a letter to the father of my child stating my custodial rights?

My child was sent to her dad to spend a week, but it has now been five months and he hasn’t returned her. Now he wants to meet me at a point with the child. We have no court orders, and we were never married or lived together with the child. I need a detailed letter explaining that I have all rights to my child and he should hand her over peacefully to avoid consequences because he is forcing me to sign a parenting plan before handing her over.

How do I remove a domestic partner from the property deed if they refuse to sign it over?

I need to remove a domestic partner from the deed to a home that is financed exclusively in my name. He has paid to put siding on the house, and for other repairs over the years. However, he has never paid the mortgage, rent, or any utilities. He has gone back and forth on whether to sign over the deed. Sometimes he says yes, and other times in heated arguments, he says no.

[CA] Can a judge reject a signed Marital Settlement Agreement?

If Marital Settlement Agreement would be not 50/50, but 60/40, could it be rejected by a judge? After 9 years of marriage, where I earned and paid 80–90% of everything, we want to stay with our own accounts (I’ll have about 5 times more money in my accounts) and split property evenly. Can a judge reject the Marital Settlement Agreement if we both sign it?
