I won a judgment
This sounds odd. Take your Judgment to another attorney to review.
The judge did not mandate placement in a long term care facility. She continues to relapse and put her safety at risk and our next court date is not until January 2021. The medical certificate said that she is incapacitated but now an independent medical evaluation was ordered. Can I mandate that... Read more »
If your order does not give you the ability to place her in a facility then you will need to file and serve an appropriate Motion with Affidavit seeking such.
Inspection done and was noticed after 30 days the water leakage by buyer...
You should have your Purchase and Sale agreement reviewed to determine any exposure to liability.
Buyer did not ask Seller about water leakage before closing and seller did not know
Was there a realtor involved in this transaction? if so there are disclosure forms completed for the sale listing. As Seller did you complete such a form? Buyers typically make offers contingent upon home inspection results- was there a home inspection?
Assuming the decedent was a Massachusetts resident for this response- this would seem to be an easy question, but oddly it is not. As the child of the deceased you would need to be notified whether there is a Probate Petition filed regardless of whether there is no Will or If there is a Will and... Read more »
I have been paying the mortgage until about 5 years ago. I bought a new home and I’m renting the home my father bought. We recently finished probate and everything has been settled and distributed to us 4 siblings. With the money I’m receiving, I want to pay off the house my father bought... Read more »
So, depending upon how title to the property is held- was it joint tenants with the right of survivorship? In his sole name? A tenancy in common? - this can't be answered yes or no without knowing this answer .If the title was in his sole name or tenancy in common with you then it is part of... Read more »
Nothing has changed. She still has the same insurance. I was notified this year that they will no longer be carrying ex spouses. All the laws state that they must cover me.
Sounds like she is subjecting herself to a Contempt Complaint. Please review your separation agreement for what her obligations are and if all conditions are met and start first with a courteous explanatory letter indicating the Contempt if she removes your coverage. Your damages could well... Read more »
I had filed a restraining order against my wife which was dissolved at the 10 day hearing. Since then my wife and I are working on our relationship. We are both in individual counseling and we are now both in couples counseling to try to mend our relationship and family. My dilemma is with my... Read more »
So it appears that your wife has demonstrated concerning conduct sufficient for you to obtain a restraining order. You have not stated whether the child was present during the precipitating incident and the child's safety and well-being and best interests are paramount. Your wife's... Read more »
I never co-signed for any loans!
The real estate is subject to the mortgage and it should either be refinanced by the heirs or be sold to pay off the mortgage.
Which I’m the youngest But my father past and before he pasted he remarried and sold the house which lawfully belongs to me what can I do?
Was father a resident of Puerto Rico at the time of his death? If he was, then Puerto Rico's laws would govern.
I have a complicated situation with a seven year old, don't have job, and my husband doesn't want the divorce we have been separated for 4 years. I was hoping you could help me and point me in the right direction.
Thank you in advance,
Maria
So, depending upon your financial circumstances the Volunteer Lawyers Project of the Boston Bar Association may be able to assist you. If your husband has income and assets which are sufficient, the Probate Court can order him to pay toward your counsel fees.
My teen recently went to live with my ex (the teen's choice) but we both have 50/50 legal. We share uninsured medicals and I technically would have to reimburse him in 30 days. He makes a lot more money than me, has a two income family, and plans on making a lump sum payment. He won't... Read more »
So, was there a recent Modification of Custody and Support? If you just agreed to this division and did not list orthodontia as an extraordinary expense to be agreed upon this murkies up the waters. It can be considered an extraordinary or unnecessary expense by some Judges. Are you sure you cannot... Read more »
i filed a complaint for modification and custody in 2013. i asked the court to set my child support arrearage in my pleadings. Both the other parent and Mass dor were served. I received Judgement on 5/2013. per agreement i owed $10000.00 child support. Dor now states I owe mother 10,000 and THEM... Read more »
You will need to have a copy of the Judgment of arrears to provide to the DOR and
have confirmation that mother is receiving support ( and arrears ) through the DOR and provide
your print out from DOR handy and ready to discuss with them. If there are no new arrears then... Read more »
One Parent/co-Guardian versus state - ward age 33 history of seizures/autistic characteristics. Temporarily living with me per COVID; would like her living with me permanently. State wants me to forfeit my guardianship; says it's the only way. Can you clarify or suggest alternatives?
This sounds like a DDS issue and not a guardianship issue per se.
I lost my job back in July (Massachusetts). I will return to work next month. By the time I return to work I will have been paying full child support for 10 weeks. My child support exceeds my income (unemployment insurance) by $100 weekly so it has put a big dent in my savings.
Petitioned... Read more »
If the Court reduces your child support it could be retroactive to the date of service of the Modification Complaint, but you will need to address that with the Court since most orders are prospective.
I wonder what can she do about this.
You need a Modification of Custody and Child Support Complaint/proceeding and this should be done based upon the last Judgment or Orders issued by whatever Court is involved.
My brother recently died. He was a resident of Rhode Island. He had a vehicle and a small checking account. Total value of both @ $3000.00. No debt other than a small hospital bill. The issue is I live in Massachusetts. I have no relatives in Rhode Island. Can I still file a Small Estate... Read more »
You really should be inquiring of a Rhode Island attorney for this information.
The buyers declared residency as being CA, but have moved out of the country without disclosing that information to us. We're being told the check could take 6-8 weeks to clear. It has not been deposited. Their lawyer has not responded since we contacted them about the foreign bank/foreign currency.
You need counsel to review the terms of your offer and acceptance and purchase and sale agreement carefully. Don't do anything at all yourself in this situation without good representation.
I understand how my child is and how he acts and listens to me
If you are in the Bronx and the child is living in New York you will need an attorney in New York as soon as possible.
My mother passed away this January and her property deed lists one of my other sisters, JB, and myself. The third sister, TH, was not on the deed, but was left everything in my mother's will, including her property. I found out that deeds take precedence over wills in MA.
JB filed a... Read more »
Without seeing this deed it is difficult to respond to the question other than to state that it seems that JB deeded her interest to your other sister TH and that you should still have your undivided interest in tact now along with your other sister TH instead of JB .
