I already sent in equitable distribution papers asking for things at a lower level . Can I change the papers
Although you can amend the document, you really need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney. You are emotionally involved, do not know the rules of court, case law and many more factors.
My daughter is in college and I moved further away from her school so she is staying with her dad bc he’s closer but she still comes to me on weekends and stays with my mom one day a week. Can a judge stop child support or reduce payments bc she’s not with me full time now
Yes, with a motion based on changed circumstances, your child support will be reduced. The main thing is that your daughter's college education is being paid.

You are in luck, because under NJ law, there is powerful protection in place on your side. The two most important laws are the N.J. Home Improvement Contractor Act, which almost no home improvement contractor's contract is in compliance with. The Second law is The N.J. Consumer Fraud Act, which... Read more »
and it was not completed. I am aware of the Brunner Test and made my lawyer aware of it as well but the lawyer did not move forward on it or do anything to assist me and I was told "they won't discharge it". I am well aware that some have been by proving undue hardship and seriously need the... Read more »
Brunner Test is an extremely difficult burden to meet, and even if you can met it, you will almost certainly not have all your debts wiped out. In addition, an adversary proceeding requires a significant retainer and there are no guarantees for success. The Brunner test has three parts that... Read more »
I had the absolute worst lawyer file my bankruptcy and overcharge me considerably. I don't know why she is so interested in my personal life but I did mention to her how severely discriminated I was at my last job. I thought about suing my previous employer but decided to let it go and... Read more »
You are free to change your bankruptcy attorney at any time. It is the Bankruptcy Trustee, not your attorney that has the most to gain if you have a valid employment discrimination case. While your bankruptcy attorney will have to perform some additional legal work, she will not gain much, unless... Read more »
If a person meets all the requirements for Automatic Visa Re-validation and travels to a country it applies to, is it 100% guaranteed that they will be able to re-enter the US? I know immigration is a tough/sticky topic right now. CBP can detain anyone they seem suspicious right? I want to travel... Read more »
There are no 100% guarantees in law of anything else. Well, except that life ends in death.
I need my mum citizenship info to full my form n400. She wont help me . Her date she got citizenship . Is there any way to file without her help..please help
This is not going to be something that you can handle on your own. You really need to retain an experienced immigration attorney to represent you in this matter. Immigration law is far more complex and nuanced then just filing out forms. Immigration law is changing almost daily and you are... Read more »
I was assaulted yesterday by my brother and I had to have him arrested. He was charged with domestic violence because I had injuries that had to be taken care of.

First of all you need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to represent you in seeking the Final Restraining Order, who has extensive trial experience. While it is true that social security is generally exempt from creditor's claims, if you also work with an experienced criminal defense... Read more »
The relative and I have not been on good terms for years.
The relative brought pets with her in addition to the 5 that we already had and it is creating a very unsanitary and tense situation in our home.
I have asked the relative and my wife numerous times for the relative to leave... Read more »
You will need to retain an experienced landlord tenant attorney to represent you in this matter. However, since you and your wife are probably co-owners of the house, it may not be so simple and straight forward. Good luck.
I get garnished. If they levy my account I’ll be homeless in a months time I barely make enough money to survive as it is
Depending on your overall circumstances and how the numbers work out, you have 2 main choices. The first one is to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to file a motion based on changed circumstances to reduce the amount of child support. The alternative, which would depend on your overall... Read more »
Bank issued a payment for the work that was done but the homeowner will not turn over the check to me, so I would like to file a lien on the property so that the bank can not release any funds to another contractor until I have been paid
You should consult an experienced civil litigation attorney prior to taking any action. I presume that you are a home improvement contractor. If that is the case, your contract must be completely compliant with the N.J.S.A. Home Improvement Contractor Act, otherwise, you are also risking violation... Read more »
We have joint residential custody. At the time of our hearing, about 10 years ago, I was making more money. Now, she makes more and has her own business. I still pay child support and go half with her on everything else. Camp, clothes, birthday’s, I pay the medical bill, etc. when, my kids are... Read more »
Unless and until she obtains a new Court Order, you are not obligated to pay her more. Child support has nothing to do with what type of parent you are. If you believe you are paying too much now, based on your current income, you should retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to represent you... Read more »
Is this for visitation or full custody? Her father is in jail awaiting a case of domestic violence against me! Can his mom take her? If so, why would she be able to? I work and provide myself and get food and a home, clothes and toys. She's the happiest kid you'll meet. She's fat and healthy. I... Read more »
Your not yet ex-husband and his mother have ZERO chance of getting custody or visitation.
What I almost always recommend to clients with very rare exceptions is to form a "C" Corp (INC) and have the "C" corp own each LLC, with no more than 1 project in an LLC at any one time. The LLC must be at least 3 members. This puts two layers of corporate protection between you and any problems.
She was in Pa I’m in NJ.
This is not a self-help project! Trying to represent yourself in Court is a bad idea. Not only are you emotionally involved, but you are not a trained attorney. You do not know the Court Rules, Rules of Evidence, case law, nor are you trained how to handle a legal case, especially if litigation is... Read more »
Yes, EZ-Pass Fines and Penalties (absent fraud are dischargable). You really need to retain an attorney to represent you in this matter, since there is a lot that can go wrong.
It is a debt that is not discharable in bankruptcy!
I need step by step instructions to file it and can it be done online
You cannot afford not to have an attorney. Bankruptcy is far too complex for you to possibly handle. It is much more than filing out forms.
In a child custody case can a defendant impeach a Plaintiff using evidence once the plaintiff finish testifying?
Yes, that can be done, but only by an experienced matrimonial trial attorney. Trying to represent yourself in any matrimonial or family matter is an extremely bad idea. You do not know the rules of Court, Evidence, Procedure or Case law.
There is an insufficient factual basis to answer your questions. You situation will require an in person consultation and document review by an experienced immigration attorney.
