the ticket is written to the individual, not to the vehicle. so no, it cannot be dismissed if the information associated with the car is incorrect. that would incentivize people to put incorrect info down and never have to pay a ticket if that were the case.

outside of any specific circumstances, you should be able to keep the child overnight. the courts are particular with young babies due to nursing, etc but that should not prevent you from getting overnight visitation. any reason preventing that would have to be based on a safety issue or your...

it would be based on what he stated in his will. so if his will states that all hs estate goes to his wife, then it would go to his wife, including the safe deposit box. however, if she died 6 months later, then it would go according to her will since his estate would have become hers if he died...

Title Deed, House or ownership?
answered on Mar 13, 2018
you can provide the deed which shows your ownership of the property. if the parents gifted you the land for you to build your house on it, then it needs to be recorded under your name in the probate court in the county where the property is located.
My mom filed the suit about my father and I received money because it went to his estate. I know I have to notify the court but I was wondering if I would have to give all of it to the bankruptcy even if it doesn’t pay it completely off
answered on Mar 13, 2018
that depends on your total debt and the amount creditors are going after, etc. there are several variables so it would be important to contact your bankruptcy atty to get the correct response considering your specific circumstances.

no, he cannot. that is why it is important to stay in the marital residence if at all possible. of course, if the police need to be contacted for domestic disputes, then do that. however, someone cannot make the spouse leave the residence if they get upset.

if the home is owned by both of you then yes, it is technically his property as well. however, the only way you could prevent that is if there was some sort of restraining order or protection from abuse filed. there has to be danger to you in order to get either one of those issued by the court,...

it would be in your best interest to ask the court to continue the trial so that you can find new counsel.
My father passed away and my mother doesn't want to do anything but party now. I would like to avoid asking her for custody because she will take them from me even though she is unfit as a parent.
answered on Oct 6, 2017
you cannot gain custody without going to court. you should file a dependency petition which means that the children are dependents of the state because their biological parents are either unable or unwilling to care for the minor children.

My father in law is bed bound and wants the land put in his son's name she only had a small estate, so a lawyer advised us we didn't need to file for estate.
answered on Oct 6, 2017
you will have to probate the estate. since she died intestate, meaning without a will, you will need to petition the court for letters of administration so that the estate can be divided up. you should get with a wills/probate atty to proceed with this action.
If there is a settlement how would it be split? Would it go to my mother's estate, or be split amongst my father's remaining heirs?
answered on Oct 6, 2017
it depends on how the case was brought in the first place. if your mother was awarded money, then it would go into her estate.

if he did not relinquish his parental rights, then he can ask the court to give him visitation. however, if visitation was taken away, then that likely means that your husband is not in a position to care for the child.

you will likely need to file a motion for contempt and ask the court to prevent any overnight visitation until the father meets the conditions previously set.
Do I stop the garnished amount
answered on Oct 6, 2017
if you have a child, then you may not be able to stop the garnishment. only way to do that would be to reach an agreement with the mother to reduce it or remove it or you can sign away your parental rights.
answered on Oct 6, 2017
no, you cannot unilaterally change the custody. you will have to file a petition to change custody in the court.
He provides all essential needs such as clothes, school supplies, and gives money to his ex when she asked but does not pay the child support because in the past when he has she did not use it for the child.
