My daughter is 17 and pregnant the father or the baby is 16 what rights does he have as a minor to the child .We live in Pa.
He has the right and duties of any father. That said if there is a custody case involving the parents then the grandparents will also be involved as the parties are under 18.

if you've violated your probation, are you still eligible for a 1244a?
If you are on deferred and violated then you can still get 12.44a, although it would be rather unlikely.
Statement requested by USPTO: substitute specification contains no new matter
Is there a form for this?
Of course there is no form for it, how you respond will depend on specific facts.
Handling your own trademark is not a good idea for a lot of reasons. Further, whenever you endeavor into investing in a trademark it is very important that you conduct the proper clearance due diligence upfront and before you submit an application to the USPTO. In the US, this means searching under both federal (USPTO) as well as common law because trademark rights stem from use in this country NOT registration. This means that acquiring a federal registration does not necessarily mean that you are not infringing on another's intellectual property. See the link below for a detailed explanation of the due diligence process and a guide on how to choose a strong trademark.

My mother recently passed away and I don't know how to find out about her estate
A good starting place is to contact the probate court in the county in which she lived as she may have a Will on file there. You may also contact any attorney she may have worked with in the past. If she did not have or file a Will and no one has come forward with a Will, then you must follow the laws of intestate succession. When you are at the probate court, inquire about what to file to open an intestate estate as they will provide you with some guidance.
If you have further questions, please contact me via my website at www.lawrefs.com.
You could check with your siblings as well, if they know anything. Tim Klisz kliszlaw.com
My daughter wanted to spend more time with me so I hired a lawyer to change the visitation to allow every other weekend and 3 non-consecutive weeks in the summer, split holidays and birthday. I was granted joint legal custody as well as the modification to the visitation. During the chats with my lawyer I mentioned my name was not on my daughters birth certificate since her mother and I never married and her mother gave her the last name of a man she was previously involved with but never married instead of mine. My daughter and I had discussed many times about how she could change her last name herself when she's 18. She seemed like she wanted to but now that I found out I can have my name added to her birth certificate and her name would change to mine I was very happy but now my daughter is really upset with me. The lawyer sent out the proper paperwork to have my name added to the birth certificate and told me that my daughters name will legally changed to show my last name. Now she's upset and says that she's never coming to see me again if I pursue adding my name to her birth certificate and changing her name. We were really close and if she would talk to me maybe we could come to an agreement but she will text me and tell me to stop this crap and she continues to be very disrespectful toward me. I know she's being heavily influenced by her mother who would rather I be out of the picture completely but I can't prove it. My daughter refuses to come see me and her mother is court ordered to bring her to my house every other weekends and she refuses to do that. What will happen if she doesn't comply with the recent court order?
This question really needs to be answered by your attorney I know you are frustrated and anxious...but we can't answer this any better than the attorney you hired that has all of the facts about the situation.
It sounds like you did not consult with your daughter about the name change. A name change isn't the same as the visitation and custody issues - its personal and affects her directly. In essence, you made a very personal decision for her and didn't give her any say or choice in the matter. Are you really surprised that a 14 year old girl may get upset over this? If you have a court order that is not being followed you can certainly show cause her mother for violating the order but persisting with dictatorial and bullying tactics will most likely just drive a further wedge between you and your daughter.
