It depends! If you have no fault coverage your medical bills will be paid by your insurance up to the amount of coverage that you purchased (typically $10,000.00). Excess bills will be paid by the party at fault. If you were injured by an uninsured or under insured driver your own policy would pay... View More 
My name and the husband are named on the deed, not the wife, but because Kentucky is a dower state, she has interest. She is not a borrower for the mortgage and only signed the mortgage to acknowledge dower rights; her name is not on the loan. She has expressed to the judge that she does not want... View More

It is possible to make an argument that the down payment was a gift to the marital estate. However, if dad testifies that this was not the intent, the check was made out to daughter only not to daughter and husband, it is likely non-marital. Inheritances are usually non-marital and separate... View More

Complicated question and it depends on the proof that you have. Where was the impact to the rear or to the side of the vehicle? Do you have witnesses? Is there a police report? It could be the other party's fault such as if they failed to yield, or ensure clear path before changing lanes and... View More

Hire a lawyer or go in on your own and provide proof that you fixed the issue.

I was in an accident over a year ago and hired a lawyer the same day. However they haven't done anything at all for me including file any suit and I'd like to fire them and hire a different firm but I'm not sure how that works?

You can switch attorneys. However you should discuss with present lawyers to see if a lien will be asserted based on work they have done.

You should consult with a lawyer. If you are looking for $5,500.00 that's Circuit Court's jurisdiction.
My license? The court date is the day after I'm scheduled to go get my license back.
answered on Jul 21, 2022
Assuming you can get your license back in Kentucky before going to court this question concerns strategy and you should discuss with a lawyer. If you get your license back you will spend money on a reinstatement fee. That money could be wasted if your license is suspended again. Driving on a DUI... View More

Charged with a DUI 4th could have got license back in five years however never did. Now it's six years later and I've been charged with driving on DUI suspended. Shouldn't it only be driving on suspended license? Or no license?
answered on Apr 19, 2022
If you never took steps to renew your driver’s license then it must have been still suspended. If you are eligible for reinstatement then your case should be continued and license reinstated. Discuss with a lawyer.

What you are describing is probably dissipation of assets. The court can stop him from continuing this conduct. You should speak with a lawyer, and you should be able to get relief. More information is needed to fully answer your question.
Remarried before that hearing

You should speak with a Kentucky lawyer. Your question is not clear. If a divorce was obtained without your knowledge then perhaps it did not address the issues of custody or property and you can address them by filing motions within the case. Since its not possible to answer your question... View More
