I'm looking for some information. Me and my ex divorced in 2018. I stayed in the home and he moved to Florida. He's been gone for the last 4 years. I'm ready to sell the home. I wanted to know what may happen. Is he entitled to payment since our names are both on the home?... View More

His entitlement will be based on the wording of your divorce decree.
I filed a motion for relocation with child that I now want to "cancel" because I cannot afford to move with her and was only moving with the promise of help from her father which he has now revoked.

If the other parent has not responded to your motion you can simply file a Notice to Vacate the Hearing.
If the other parent has responded. You will need an agreement from the other parent to Vacate the Hearing. This would be call a Stipulation and Order to Vacate The Hearing.

he took me too court for contempt he was granted 5 days of Xtra parenting time.can he add that to his already long 16 day time-frames in summer or do I have a right to say no.

We each have life insurance policies, IRA’s, traditional Roth and 401k. All named in our Trust. I have kids (18+) from a previous marriage.

I agree with the other attorney's answer. Most of the time the Court will "break the trust" especially if the trust is revokable and for estate planning purposes. One the court decides if it will break the trust then it will decided on the designation of the property ( separate or... View More
It will not affect the other party's parenting time within any fashion. I don't see anything within the MSA that says that I can't move within the city. Do I need to do anything as far as what the law says?

I agree with the other answer and have an additional comment: If the move will cause a change in school then move or the change in school should be discussed and hopefully the school can be agreed to or either parent may need to file in court to resolve the school choice matter.

The child's mother can also file for sole or primary custody and child... View More
If it is child abandonment, would the mother still have to petition through the courts for him to sign over his parental rights?
answered on Apr 26, 2022
I agree with the other answer but have an additional comment. Abandonment is not only not financially supporting the child. It consists on no contact and no effort to see or contact the child.
Does she have the right to come from az to nv to take him from us when She's had zero contact with him
answered on Apr 26, 2022
I agree with the answer above and have an additional comment. To legally determine what rights the biological mom has to the child the child's father can file a custody case or can file to terminate her rights. Without a Court order the rights of each parent are based on the parents... View More

Nevada does not require children to support and reside with their disabled parents. If you have guardianship of your parents you may have additional responsibilities.
Hope this helps.

I want other witnesses to see me there listening. Not to change my own testimony or get the story straight. I feel I have the legal right to since it’s public

Normally, a witness can not observe before they are called as a witness. The Court may allow you to observe the rest of the case once you have completed your testimony.

I am sorry for the loss of your father.
This question was posted in Nevada but it seems the land is in North Carolina. So Nevada law will probably not be as helpful. You may want to repost to North Carolina attorneys.

answered on Mar 6, 2021
Good Morning,
Yes, If you owe back child support (arrearages) then the child support division can place a lien on a personal injury settlement.

For fraud or any other suit against the seller it will depend on your contract or agreement.
If you do not have a written contract or agreement then you can still file a case but it becomes a he said/ she argument that can be hard to prove.
To file a suit against someone you need to... View More

Good Morning,
You can include the loans and if you complete your bankruptcy then you will no longer be personally liable.
Since the bankruptcy does not include your ex-wife then she will still be liable.
She can file against you in family court if these were debts were... View More
