Every state was given the opportunity to adopt the "Uniform Probate Code." Washington adopted it and had changed a few things over the years. However, one thing that remains the same is that someone who dies with a will has the opportunity to make "devices" "gifts"... View More

The UCCJA "uniform child custody jurisdiction act," says that a child's "home state" is where the child has lived for the six (6) months immediately preceding the filing (of the divorce etc.) that you're talking about. So, first question, where has the child lived for... View More

You may have the right to hold your ex-husband in "CONTEMPT," for refusing to abide a Court Order for him to pay bills that were assigned to him by the Court. However, the creditor was obviously NOT apart of your agreement with your ex-husband or a party to your divorce, so when the... View More

Idaho has an Annulment law. Either party to the marriage may annul the marriage for any of the following reasons:

1. Under 18 when married;

2. Did not receive parent or guardian's permission if under 18 when married;

3. Bigamy;

4. Unsound mind. Unless you... View More

Personal jurisdiction for divorce and post divorce is unique in Idaho. Typically you would sue the defendant where he/she lives, but in Idaho it's reversed. As long as YOU can establish personal jurisdiction in Idaho, then it wouldn't make any difference where the real property is... View More

Stipulations are "agreements." Agreements can be ruined by:

1. Arguing against it in open court;

2. Failing to draft and file a proposed DECREE or ORDER consistent with the Stipulation; and,

3. Acting against it.

If the party claimed the children in 2019... View More

I would send her an email and ask what the problem is and why she hasn't refinanced the property yet? When she answers you, listen to what she says carefully. "Contempt" is the "willful violation of a court order." If she has tried and her credit shows that she has, yet... View More

Idaho is a community property state. If appliances were purchased during the marriage then "YES," you're entitled to 1/2 the money received. However, if appliances purchased during the marriage are sold after the divorce was filed, then the sale itself may be in violation of the... View More

You don't lose any rights by being forcibly removed from your own home. The frustration you feel is felt by every, single male who is removed and now has to pay for two (2) residences. If you own it outright without your mate's co-ownership, simply sell it out from under her and buy a... View More

Are these consecutive or contiguous weeks? Second question, two weeks is not a terribly long time. They can also take schoolwork home and study remotely so why are you willing to spend thousands of dollars on attorneys for something simple that you should be able to work out in emails?

She needs it because she has primary custody of the child, right? You "need" it because you have mostly made the payments on it, right? You don't also happen to own a pickup that YOU drive, do you? I'm sorry, this sounds S E L F I S H to me and a divorce judge will... View More

It sounds like personal property by gift, if it can be substantiated, and therefore, NOT community property!

Yes, and judges will approve because courts are willing to acquiesce (notice I didn't say "approve") to people "doing their own thing," I'd be lying if I told you that they're happy about it. When those "private agreements" don't work between the... View More

This kind of amicable resolution is nice but it must be sanctioned by the Court. The Court will look at the agreement and determine if it's consistent with the support which the child would have received had child support been ordered. If the Court approves such an agreement it will look... View More

I believe you have two options:

OPTION 1: he is in contempt of court for failure to do what the court ordered him to do. You can ask the Court to so hold and he could be ordered to serve up to 30 days jail if he refuses to do what he's been asked to do.

OPTION 2: a better... View More

Nope. Just don’t be caught surveilling him, you could be charged with “Disturbing his peace.”

You have no interest in the house if he did not put you on the title. You may have the right to Temporary Spousal Support.

It was filed (obviously) in the wrong state. Nonetheless, it's okay to waste money having it filed in the wrong place - but it wasn't served either (yet), so the person being served (Respondent) still hasn't had the time to file a responsive pleading challenging the Jurisdiction of... View More

What a chump! He won’t go TOO far from his daughter and you probably wouldn’t be criticized if you published the Summons in a newspaper where you live. His daughter might have some idea where her father is too. You might also be able to get the court to waive your filing fees. Go down to the... View More

Nope, you're not and you can be a "dick" and not reimburse her one dime. But why wouldn't you want to help your ex provide cell phones to your kids? This is a situation that will come up over and over again till the kids graduate, so why be a stingy, hard ass? That's... View More
