As a woman, I don't know much about car terminology, so help me out here....

My ex has 4 weeks visitation that needs to be turned in by May 1st which he always does at the last minute. This year I had specific dates I needed the kids this summer and gave those dates to him in writing early. Now he's trying to say that I can't have any vacation time because of his weekend visitation which means that I can't have a vacation, so what do I do? The weeks he turned in for his vacation are different from mine, so there is no issue there, he's just trying to use his weekend visitation as an excuse to pick them up so that I can't take them anywhere.

My ex husband's gf is encouraging my 13 year old daughter to act badly, sending her text messages such as "tell mom you hate her" or show your a**. Along with some other things to encourage her not to listen to me. What can I do?

I have joint with primary physical custody at the moment.

We now share joint custody, I have primary physical custody. I am trying to get my children's passport for a trip this summer and am not getting much cooperation from him as usual. He has been in and out of jail for the past 3 years.

Now the power will come on but we have no sound or picture. We've only had the TV for maybe a year and a half..What could be wrong. We really don't want to pay a repair guy if we can fix it ourselves.

My 12 year old daughter lives with me and has become a handful...She asked a few months ago to live with her dad because shes angry with our rules and he filed a petition to get custody. He went to court and dismissed it. Now she wants to go live with him again because he tells her if she has any issues here that she can walk out the door, call him and he or his parents will come and pick her up. So I've gotten to the point where I am afraid to correct her because of her running to his family. Anyway, he has suggested that she stay with him for awhile, but I am afraid that he will go for custody again. Can he file for custody again after going to court and having it dismissed the first time because she decided to stay with me?

I'm in Va, also what are the fees.

I've asked my daughter several times what to get her for Christmas and I'm not getting much of an answer. I thought I would do something special for her on my own but not sure what to get. Any ideas would be appreciated.

My ex husband has vacation this week with our children and lied to me about where he was taking them. Is there anything I can do?

I have joint legal custody of my children with my ex but I have primary physical custody. I just found out my ex lied to me about where he was taking our children on vacation and instead took them 7 hours out of state without my knowledge or permission. What can I do. What would you do in this situation?

In the past couple weeks, I have developed a very small pimple looking spot above my knee, lower thigh area that looks like a pimple but has a hard crust like center and can't be popped. What could this be and should I worry?

My 11 year old daughter has irregular periods which I think is normal since she just started last year but been throwing up every other day for about 2 months. I took her to the doctor a couple months ago and she was given an antibiotic. She is not losing any weight but gets a stomach ache sometimes and then throws up. Is not running a fever.

I'm starting to get some fine lines under my eyes, and was wondering if anyone can recommend something that really works on diminishing them. I use age defying makeup at the moment but would like something that actually fades them.

I making 16 bean soup and didn't know if its always necessary to soak dried beans before cooking them. I looked up some recipes and they said nothing about soaking but it says to soak them on the bag. Do I have to or can I just throw them in the crockpot?
