My father passed away about 12 years previous and I only received 3k from a 500k estate.
answered on Dec 15, 2017
If she had a will, it goes according to the will.
If not, it goes to her heirs which would not include you unless you were adopted by her.
A long shot is that the father had a written agreement with her that she would leave something to you.

You need to file a Petition for Parentage so as to officially establish him as the father and have the court order him to pay child support.

Back child support can be collected until it is all paid no matter the age.
there were no papers, or statements that had information on insurance or investments except for an IRA.
answered on Dec 5, 2017
Most wills don't list insurance and investment information.
It is the job of the Executor to find out.
A starting point is the previous tax return which has a lot of information on it and bank account registers which show who was being paid.
To close banks accounts and take over the life insurance and properties if he left no Will or beneficiary

The Secretary of State decides who drives. Not the courts or anyone else.
If you get suspended, you are suspended until they send you a letter saying your are reinstated.

Usually child support is based on court orders.
If the child is of age and there is no current support and all prior amounts have been paid there should be nothing further to do.
Obviously, this needs to be checked to make sure everything is correct.
answered on Dec 2, 2017
Terminating parental rights is done before the adoption is approved.
So, no.
his mom has said she is not able to understand the homework but also she just doesn't make him do it. Also, he was convicted by a juvenile court this past year for criminal trespassing while under his mother's supervision. She knew he was trespassing in this building and even encouraged it.

You say you both had lawyers who didn't show up for trial.
Had you two reconciled.
Anyway, why not ask your lawyer what the status is because they may still be stuck on the case.
answered on Nov 30, 2017
Minimum fine is a set amount.
Court supervision costs more but it stays off the record as a conviction.
The house is located in Will County, Illinois, and is owned as joint tenancy with right of survivorship. There is a death certificate issued on my partner. This was not a marriage relationship.
answered on Nov 27, 2017
The reason for joint tenancy is to have the survivor be sole owner upon death.
If you sell or refinance you may be required to prove death with the death certificate.
She said support has stopped but her ex told me it did not,and her kids live in my house
answered on Nov 26, 2017
If you are supporting her kids you have every right to know if she is receiving money for the kids.
If she is not receiving child support, then she needs to go after the ex to collect it.
