How do I get consent to travel with my child if I have DNA proof that the listed father is not biological?

Hello. I am a citizen of Ukraine and I gave birth to my child in Pennsylvania, although I currently reside in Wisconsin. The child’s father is also a Ukrainian citizen. As I plan to travel outside the United States, I require the father’s consent for our U.S.-citizen child’s departure.

[TX] How do I get power of attorney for my niece whose mother lives in a different state?

My niece lives in Florida with my sister and they do not get along. It’s been a constant battle for years. I’m now in a position to take care of my niece, and my sister is willingly giving her over. She turns 18 in January 2027, so it’s only about a year and 2 months. Will this form cover everything I need to care for her in that time?

[TX] How do I get a POA for someone with dementia?

I take care of my sick sister, and it’s tough because she has dementia. When I try to handle finances, I hit a roadblock and can’t act on her behalf. I’m always met with a decline when I use my current papers.

[TX] If my ex won’t pay child support, should I file a SAPCR?

I am in Beaumont, TX and have a 2-year-old. I have no custody plan in place and her dad has been inconsistent, has not financially supported at all, is mentally unstable, and has had some scary moments around me and my daughter. I am on a limited budget and want to do it the best way I can for her while looking out for money as well. I know/think I need to file a SAPCR. I have not gone to the attorney general due to being afraid of what the outcome with her dad would look like. I just need advice.

[TX] As a private citizen not involved in a case, how can I file an affidavit requesting a judge’s recusal?

How do I write a judge recusal affidavit? I am a member of the public and not involved with the case. I observed evident bias (every one of the petitioner’s counsel had their objections sustained and the respondent’s were all overruled—she is pro se). The judge did not act according to the best interest of the court, with outbursts, and this is not the first time she has done this. She is on the "Texas Wall of Shame" for her very clear anti-women sentiments. She consistently does not respect the decorum of the courtroom, siding with one party every hearing.

What do I do if my ex won’t transfer my car title?

I have a car that was purchased in my previous marriage. I paid the car off before the divorce and that is the car that I was using throughout our marriage since we got it originally. We got divorced and I continued to use the car as always. When it came time to renew the registration, I wasn’t able to because it was registered under his name at the DMV. I have asked him multiple times to transfer it to my name and he has declined every time. He is now threatening to report the car as stolen to get me in trouble. What can I do about the car situation?
