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 involved. However, if you do not retain counsel, and the opposing party does have counsel, you could get slaughtered... View More

You need to retain an experienced civil litigation and bankruptcy attorney. Without knowing more facts, no one can provide meaningful advice. However, you are not a trained attorney and you are emotionally involved. Even a trained attorney is always told not to represent themselves in a legal... View More

No one here can answer your question without more facts. Whether or not it is legal depends on numerous factors which no one can tell you based on what you stated and may be considered child porn depending on her age and what is in the pictures. Libel and slander are both hard to prove. Do not do... View More

Your question is not clear. Do you want a copy of a motion to reinstate that was previously filed or do you want one that you can use as a model? Trying to represent yourself in any case, even if you are a trained attorney is unwise. You need to retain an experienced civil litigation attorney to... View More

There really is no way to know without more facts. There is a possibility your ex-wife is remarried. As the old saying goes, "...it may be best to leave sleeping dogs lie". There are no collection efforts or anything from what you are indicating. Good luck.

If you are not represented by an experienced Bankruptcy attorney, then you need to retain one. You should NEVER seek new credit if you have filed a Bankruptcy, but exactly what is or has happened is not at all clear from your question/statement. Good luck.

Realistically you should take the offer. If you choose to decline the offer and retain counsel and file a lawsuit, your chances of doing better are small and you are NOT likely to get attorney fees. Good luck.
