  • Child Support

Can my husband be charged criminally for child abuse?

I recently found out that my husband, who is my 17 year old daughter’s step-father, is having a sexual relationship with her. I caught them together so there is no way he can deny it. He says the relationship is consensual and because she’s almost 18, there is nothing anyone can do about it. I live in San Hose and have reported it to California child protective services and they are investigating. This situation makes me sick and nothing is moving fast enough. What can I do to bring criminal charges against him for sexual child abuse, or possibly rape, of my daughter? Does it matter if she consented to the relationship? She says she loves him but she is still a child and should not be able to consent. Also, does my husband’s sick behavior matter in a divorce, because obviously I’ve left him and intend to do whatever I can to take everything from him.

Does my Ex’s New Husband’s income factor into child support?

I’ve been paying my ex child support for our two kids since we divorce. In the last year, she’s remarried to a very wealthy guy and now my kids live in a huge house with him and get just about everything they want. My ex even quit her job because she no longer needs to work. I’m struggling to meet my own family’s needs while still paying her child support for the kids. It makes no sense that she’s still taking my money when our kids clearly no longer need it. Does her husband’s income count at all in the calculation of my child support? Is there anything I can do based on these circumstances to reduce or stop my child support?

Do you need biological father’s consent to adopt his child?

A friend of my husband and I from our church has a teenage daughter who is pregnant. She does not want to keep the child and we are very interested in adopting the baby. The mom-to-be does not have any contact with the biological father and does not even know where he lives at this point. There has never been a paternity test but she says she’s sure he is the father. If he’s never formally been identified as the father and she can’t locate him, do we need his consent to proceed with an adoption once the child is born? If we do, how do we go about finding him and what exactly does the consent need to say? We live just outside of San Antonio and she thinks he is possibly living out of state. Can a lawyer help us get the consent?
