Legal Question in Family Law in Alabama
Custodial Parent Abandoned Child with Ex-Husband
Is there any way for NCP and ex-
husband to bypass CP-ie,an NCP relinquish his rights
to ex-husband-on adopting the child? Should NCP seek
sole custody and then allow ex-husband to adopt child on
the grounds of CP's previous and current abandonment? Has
CP defrauded DHR by accepting support without having
physical custody of child-ie, child lived in AL for 10
months and currently will remain in AL for another 3
months? If CP has defrauded DHR, will DHR seek repayment
from CP or NCP? Court ordered support for those 10 months
to go to ex-husband and not CP. What are the
ramifications of defrauding DHR? If DHR awarded CP an
increase for insurance when she divorced ex-husband, then
isn't CP required to show DHR proof of insurance-ie, NCP is ordered to pay CP
$200 a month for insurance but ex-husband has provided
insurance for the child his entire life, even after divorce, so shouldn't the $200 have been awarded to ex-husband
or shouldn't CP have been required to at least provide
proof of insurance to DHR before requiring NCP to pay?
Does anyone know grounds for DHR's termination of services
of CP? NCP and ex-husband have been to court 5-6 times in order to resolve these questions and CP never shows

Re: Custodial Parent Abandoned Child with Ex-Husband
With all the questions you have, it should be obvious this is complicated and you need the services of an attorney. I hope you have one because it will also expedite things rather than linger with you trying to do it yourself without knowledge of what the law requires and who has rights. I will be happy to talk with you as I would have more questions to have answered before I could even give you a response to your questions.
