I am currently separated and am looking for legal advice concerning my divorce. I am disabled, so my main concern is healthcare insurance. I am qualified for Medicare, but because I am only 52 the premiums for supplemental are extremely high. Because of my illness (Multiple Sclerosis) I see my... Read more »

Unfortunately, you will not be able to stay on your spouse's insurance after an absolute divorce. However, you would be able to retain your insurance under a limited divorce. Hope that helps. Good luck!!
On the line for what property I want to leave them, is there a certain wording for "half of assets" or 50%? Or should I leave that line blank? I don't necessarily need to leave each of them each anything in particular. It would basically be the house and everything in it. They will... Read more »

I am the custodial parent . I allowed my son to go to his fathers for most weekends but I later find out that my son is being left with his fathers mother or grandmother so he can go out and party .

It depends on the custody order in place. Please consult with an attorney.
Can the court force the mother to provide the address to where the children live?

Without additional facts, it is difficult to answer this question. If there is an address shield in place or a protective order you may be able to restrict access to address. Please consult with an attorney to discuss.
I filed for a child support modification recently and the other parent just put in the written response to it.

Wait for the court to contact you to set up a scheduling conference, which is a conference where you set up dates to get things done. It is advisable that you consult with an attorney to assess whether assistance of counsel is necessary.
We haven't gone to court yet, but he thinks he can tell me where I can live at. I currently don't have a license or a car yet, so he does the drop off and pick up (even though he is always late) We have an agreement now that is notarized showing that I have him 75% of the week.

I highly suggest you contact and retain an attorney. It is a good idea that you obtain your own transportation and a license to drive. Good luck.
My Mothers has minimal assets. Can I represent my Mothers estate and if so, what are the next steps?

I am sorry for your loss. Based on the little detail provided, I do not suggest you administer the estate yourself without consulting with an attorney. There may be steps you overlook by doing so. Contact a local attorney for a consult to discuss whether you can do this on your own.
My ex husband faked an at home paternity test when my daughter was 3. I never questioned it since it was a way to get him out of our lives. He's had no contact with my daughter since. Now my daughter is 13 and wants to know for sure that he is her father and to have him removed for her birth... Read more »

You are looking for advice on a very complicated matter that requires the assistance of counsel. I highly suggest you reach out to counsel in your county/city to discuss your options. Counsel can provide several mechanisms for locating him that you may not have at your disposal. And your case is... Read more »

Unfortunately, that would not be a good idea and may create a whole host of problems down the line. You are better off petitioning the court for guardianship.
There was a hearing and new proposed orders in Maryland my son started school already and upon receiving these proposed orders he was taken out of his current school by the other party and enrolled in another county they haven’t started school yet. In the current order we have joint custody in... Read more »

If there was a court hearing and a decision was made by the judge/magistrate, you have to follow the new order entered.
We both don’t want each parent to pay support. But agreed on parent plan

You can ask the court to set the child support where you and the other parent are generally charged with supporting the child(ren). You do have to be able to justify not paying support to each other though.
I am personal representative for her estate. If I have to qualify for mortgage in my name I am afraid I would not (bad credit). I have kept up the payments

I am sorry for your loss. If your sister passed away owning a home, the home, depending on how it's titled, has to go through probate. If you are the only sibling, no spouse, and none of your parents are alive and she didn't have any children, then you can rightfully inherit the house.... Read more »
So in January my mom got a letter from her financial advisor which was from the IRS telling her that she had to fill out a W-9 because the social security she had in her account was wrong.

Contact the IRS to verify.
She plans on attending school when i go on mydhr it’s looks like the case has been closed. Was I to contact someone to let them know she does plan to attend. She has applied but not ready to take that risk

If you are referring to child support, that usually ends when the child graduates high school at 18/19 years old.

I am truly sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, your question is cut off. I would suggest that you repost it.

In other words, Medicare and or Medicaid pay for the resident's room and board and other covered services by Medicare paid... Read more »

Sounds like both. You may need to report this to both agencies.

This answer is complicated--it depends. It depends on your age. At a certain point, the court will take into account your age and preference. Your parents have to follow the order as written. If they don't then they are in contempt of court.
My daughter is an alcoholic and getting sicker. I want to go to court to apply for custody.

I am sorry to hear about your daughter. Yes, you can petition the court for third party custody. However, it is not something you should do without the assistance of counsel. Unless the Department of Social Services is involved, it is unclear as to how you can be a foster parent for your... Read more »
I was granted an interm and a temporary restraining order against my sister-in-law, but the final protective order was dismissed b/c all of my evidence came from my brother-in-law’s phone and he was not present at the hearing (he had given me copies of all of the texts and voicemails).

It will hide the entire record from public view. Once the final is denied, the temp and interim do not matter. They are expired. If you believe that you have reason to contest, then yes.
I've contributed finally to the apartment with rent and utilities. My name isnt on the lease

I suggest you contact an attorney for a consultation to discuss your rights to the apartment and your responsibilities for the rent and utilities. It is a marital home but your name is not on the lease so there are some special issues there.
