You don't say whether there has been a hearing or not. Normally when you file to terminate guardianship there is a court hearing after the Motion to Terminate is filed and notice is given to the party that is the current guardian. However, if the current guardian has signed their approval to... View More 
the person whose name it is in is filing bankruptcy and us keeping their car and i cant refinance until the amount is lower. I am in Tennessee but the original owner is in another state.

Generally, as long as the payments are paid on time on the vehicle you can keep it. It sounds like the person who is the legal owner of the vehicle is the one filing for bankruptcy so I would talk to their attorney. I would also be cautious making payments on a vehicle that my name is not on the... View More
I have decided to sale my house and pay the chapter 13 in full. However, I need to use the money I would normally make my payment with to make home improvements.
answered on Aug 27, 2021
It depends on how long you don't make payments on the chapter 13 before the trustee would file a motion to dismiss or the mortgage company would file a motion to lift stay. I would consult with an attorney in your area as all Trustees are different. He/She would know how long you could safely... View More

Judges always combine the PO hearing with the pending family law case. Why did you show up to the hearing if you were not served? If you appear at the hearing you submit yourself to jurisdiction of the Court usually. The Judge will probably strike the 90 day review. They set review hearings so... View More

Whether you remember the check or not is irrelevant. However, if the bogus check was from 15 years ago and they have made no efforts to collect (lawsuit, garnishment, etc.) then they would be past the statute of limitations.
Do I have to pay for child support cuz we are together and we don't want to do anything with child support cuz she knows I will pay for anything that child needs and she needs
answered on Aug 24, 2021
No, you don't have to pay child support if you are together. Your child can receive benefits if you are on SSDI.

my lawyer wants $3150 to convert 7 i can't afford that can i convert it my self or get a less expensive lawyer ?

Yes, you can find a less expensive lawyer. You can also try Legal Aid to see if they can assist you. I don't recommend that you convert it yourself. Good Luck!

It is an Estate account and yes you need to set one up. You will have to file an accounting with the Court before the money is distributed.

Son's dad moved to Florida only met my son for ten minutes. Has no bond with him hasn't helped support him an now wants to be involved is that not child abandonment can his rights not be terminated?
answered on Aug 19, 2021
The Court will not terminate his rights based on abandonment. They will terminate parental rights in a deprived case or if a step-parent can adopt the child. You can file a case with DHS to try to get child support paid by him. Yes, the court will allow him visitation even though he has not seen... View More

answered on Aug 18, 2021
If he signed a quit claim deed assigning his interest to your Mom then the house belongs to her. You should get a probate on file asap. As her only child you are her natural heir and the house should go to you but you have to have a Court determine that. Good Luck!
I have filed police reports and reported fraud with IRS. he has received all my stimulus and taxes and claims we are married and we are not.
answered on Aug 17, 2021
Did you file a police report that your son was kidnapped? The police are usually a good starting point. If no help from the police you can hire a private investigator. Good Luck!

Can a managing business partner create a Distribution Agreement that circumvents company percentage ownership, clearly favoring his pocketbook?

An embezzlement charge would be file by the District Attorney or a Federal Prosecutor. You would need an attorney to file a lawsuit for you.
Mother makes the daughter feel bad for leaving her. So the daughter won't go with the father. Police have been involved but won't tear daughter from mother. Understandable, but it is court ordered. So, can the police issue a contempt ticket on spot or do we need to go to court?
answered on Aug 17, 2021
No, the police will not issue a contempt citation. You will have to file a Motion with the Court and the Judge will determine if there is contempt and issue a citation.
Her rent, utilities,medical bills, and loans are all way behind now. Didn't know since she's a widow now if she can file again before the 8 year wait
answered on Aug 15, 2021
Her being a widow doesn’t affect her inability to file. It’s 8 years between Chapter 7 filings. She could file a chapter 13 and get a low payment until the time is up for her to qualify for a chapter 7. Also, if she doesn’t work her creditors may not be able to collect. She needs to talk to a... View More
