You do not mention whether you are currently involved in a divorce action. If you are, then the answer to your question will be clear at the end of the case. If you are not in a divorce case and you are still married to her, then you do not have to pay her alimony -- unless, that is, some court... View More

I hope that my colleagues who practice probate law will also answer your question as probate law is not my practice area of law. That said, however, not much in your description of facts makes sense when even basic legal principles are applied. I am not sure how taxes are avoided simply because... View More

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. The "system" doesn't just provide free attorneys. Your son may go to GA Legal Services online and see if he qualifies for some type assistance.
He will not let us leave and believes that he is the "patarch” of the house and what he says goes. He has threatened to shoot my wife multiply times and he thinks it’s a joke what can I do because now we are leaving and he will not let us leave

If you and your wife are adults, then leave. You don't need his permission. If he tries to stop you, call 911 and report that you are being held against your will.

You did not mention whether the house was under contract yet. If you already have a signed buy/sell agreement with a bona fide purchaser, then you need to involve that person in the discussion. At the very least you would need to disclose it in your Seller's Disclosure statement. This is... View More
How can she do it quickly

I'm sorry, but I do not hold out much hope that she will be successful. In 31 years of practice, I have personally known of only 2 emancipations being granted. She must be able to show that she has gainful employment and can pay for everything she needs, rent, car, insurance, food, medical,... View More
I have lots of details and need help. Please help me. I feel like injustice is done upon me. I meant to spell that as DEFAULT judgement, I made a typo in the question.
answered on Apr 21, 2021
You can certainly ask. However, your request will be denied unless you can give a better reason for the default than you have given us. When you decided to represent yourself instead of retaining an attorney, in the eyes of the law you basically stated "I know the law and I don't need... View More
... it was a septic tank repair so we couldn't discover the work hadn't been done until months later when a problem occurred. The previous owner and his agent signed at closing stating the work had been done but it was a lie. Is the previous owner liable? Is the agent? Is the agent's... View More

You are dealing with an area of law that is not easily explained. You should take all the documents to an attorney and discuss your options going forward. If you ever doubt you need an attorney, remember, you are asking who you should sue. Typically, that is one of the more simple issues to... View More
According to contract terms, if payment is made after the 15th, a 10% penalty is due with payment. All (7) payments have been made and accepted. Lender/Inspector stated on "April 19th" he will not inspect the project to fund the draw because the loan is in default. There is a 15 day... View More

Go back to the signed loan agreement. You may find language that spells out that a certain number of delinquent payments will result in a default status. Another phrase to watch for is one which allows the Lender to call the loan in default whenever the Lender "... in good faith deems itself... View More
They replaced my pipes about 10 months ago and said they couldn't get to one area, so they just tied into the existing pipe.

No way to know online and without an inspection. However, it would seem that the problem was the pressure brought in by the new line was too much for the old line to handle. Professionals should know this. Yet, it appears that you knew about it and gave your consent to proceed.

Very sorry about the ex. You will need a competent custody attorney to prepare the papers. Too much can go wrong.
My mother got custody of them after dcfs got involved. I was told then that when my husband and I became stable again and everything that we could get custody back from my mom. All we had to do was file the paperwork and agree on everything.

Your question as you have stated it is easily answered. You first retain an attorney who is experienced in this type of law; custody, DFCS, etc. Then, you work closely with the attorney and cooperate with the attorney too. What you have been told about DFCS sounds right. You are in for a... View More
Is there a Ga state law regarding overnight stays on this?
answered on Apr 15, 2021
Ms. Edwards is correct. If you believe your child will somehow be in danger as a result of this move, you can petition the Court for a modification of custody which may alleviate the issue. Always speak with a competent attorney before you do anything.
She is now a board member. I filed a incident report 1 5 yrs ago. She trespassed into my home and lectured the laborers about parking. I was told about it when I came home from laborers. Can I still take legal action against her?
answered on Apr 14, 2021
Sorry, but you have not provided near enough information. First, your question states this occurred 15 (?) years ago. Did you mean 1.5 years ago? What do laborers have to do with the situation? Most important question of all would be --- How were you harmed by any of this? It appears that you... View More

I was in prison at the time of this filing and I never signed anything nor was I served a copy of anything other than the initial motion?

Ms. Edwards is correct. You will need to speak with an attorney at this point.
