Can I sue my wife for kidnapping and take custody from her?

My wife has left our home without telling me and has basically kidnapped our Muslim children. I don’t know where they are at this time. My wife has been telling my children untrue things about me and painting me as a bad person in their eyes. I need to find my children and take full custody of them before my wife turns them against me. Am I able to file a lawsuit against her for kidnapping and gain custody? Will a court consider her actions in alienating my children when it considers my request for custody? I need to find a Muslim lawyer who can help me both locate my children as soon as possible and file any possible lawsuits.

Do I need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?

My spouse and I are divorcing and we don’t have property or kids to fight over. We just want to get the divorce done as quickly and amicably as possible. I’ve researched divorce in Indianapolis online and it appears we can do an uncontested divorce, but I am not sure how to file for it or what the process is. Are there resources for people who want to file for divorce on their own or do I need an attorney for an uncontested divorce? Approximately how long with it take to finalize the divorce once it is filed?

Can I still get alimony in a divorce if there is a prenup?

Before I married 10 years ago I signed a prenuptial agreement stating I wouldn’t seek alimony in a divorce. But my husband has cheated on me and is intending to divorce me and marry someone else. I’ve given my life to take care of him and our children. I am Muslim and would not have chosen to divorce. Since this is his choice and I have no job or way of supporting myself, I believe I am entitled to alimony no matter what was stated in the prenuptial agreement. What are the laws in Texas relating to this and can my husband be required to pay for an attorney to represent me in this divorce?

Will Pennsylvania state allow me to adopt my Muslim cousin?

I am a Muslim living in Philadelphia. I have a cousin who lives in Algeria who is also Muslim. He recently lost his parents to an accident and now is being cared for by family friends. I want to bring him here to the U.S. and adopt him so he can remain here and get an education. If I adopt him my employer will provide health insurance coverage for him as my dependent. What are the laws in Pennsylvania regarding adoption of a foreign minor citizen? If this type of adoption is legal, how do I locate a qualified Muslim attorney to assist me with this process?

Can my driver’s license be taken away for back child support?

My ex is threatening me that she will get the Los Angeles Dept. of Child Support to take away my driver’s license if I don’t pay all of the back child support I owe. I am a truck driver and have a CDL license. I’ve been paying what I can toward the back support but I can’t pay it all at once. It doesn’t make sense that the child support office would take away my license when that means I would lose my job. If I can’t work my ex has even less chance of getting any child support. Can LA child support services take away my driver’s license for unpaid back support, even if I am making payments toward it?
