Kinship DNA and fostering question. County Maryland. 4 month
4 month old baby currently in foster care. The mom is a drug addict failed drug test. County came in and put child to foster care. Mother has no custody of her 3 other kids.. My brother was mentioned as the father but he is not on the birth certificate. He is a drug addict and not stable himself. Has no birth certificate, ID or SSI card. I reached out to the Washington County social worker and advise that I was willing to be a fostering resource and possible adoption. They went to court last Thursday and the judge ended up ordering a court ordered paternal DNA test. My brother did not show up to court. And for my understanding he is pretty much not doing anything to even go get the test. The social worker said that the next court date for possible force placement is in October. I was wondering what can I do in the process to see about doing a kinship DNA test. Instead of having to wait to October. … read more

Common family law questions on JustAnswer


Some of the family law questions that have been addressed on JustAnswer include:


  • I need help in communicating with the GA Department of Family and Children's Services. Whom do I contact for help?
  • Can a previously established child support order increase in the summer for daycare? If so, can I request receipts to prove that additional funds are being used for their intended purpose?
  • My ex fiancée, with whom I had a domestic partnership for 7 years, is now threatening to take my property from me because she states that we were in a “common law marriage.” Is this true?
  • If my son’s biological father is not on his birth certificate, do I need his permission before my husband can adopt him?
  • Can an adult collect back child support from their parent?
  • For divorce proceedings that involve properties in multiple states, will I need multiple lawyers?

Because family law can vary widely from place to place, it will be helpful to the Experts if you have the following items of information ready:


  • The state in which the dispute is taking place
  • The specifics of your situation, including relevant dates, timeframes, and involved parties
  • Whether you’ve already consulted with an attorney

With this information prepared, you’ll more quickly gain access to the family law assistance you need.
