You can agree to accept a sum in order to get off the loan and the title. After you're paid the money, you can sign a quitclaim deed. I wouldn't recommend doing this without a lawyer.

You can't challenge a 3 year old order. You owe whatever the order says you owe. It's too late to do the math.

If there is no divorce filed, and your name isn't on the deed or mortgage, she can do what she wants. You probably have a small interest in the house so you need to speak with an attorney about your options if you want a divorce.
So my wife attached the visitation plan with divorce papers, and the visitation plan says I can visit my kids twice a month on the second and fourth weekends of every month.

If you do not agree with the terms, do not sign the agreement. It is not a violation for you not to visit your children, so do not sign anything that says that it is.

If you don't agree with what the document says, you shouldn't sign it. Consult with an attorney.
I am getting divorced and my previous attorney signed an agreement with opposing counsel to extend discovery until 45 days before trial.

No one can tell you who is at fault. Armchair quarterbacking without reviewing the file would be dangerous and imprudent. Also, you knew the motion had been filed, and you also should have known there was already an agreement extending discovery. It's your case so you would have access to... View More
My wife filed for divorce, and I just served the papers. My question is, if I agree on the divorce, should I just sign the papers, or are there any forms that need to be filled out, and should we both appear at the court or not?
Thanks

You have to agree on the terms of the divorce. Like who gets the house, furniture, pots and pans, pets, bank accounts, retirement etc. An attorney can help you draw up an agreement.

It's possible if the judge feels your client could be in danger. You may want to reconsider if the relationship is worth the possibility of losing custody of your child.

You should not "donate" marital money ahead of a divorce. You will likely have to account for it in the divorce. If you don't have a prenup, marital assets will have to be divided. You don’t get to unilaterally decide what she can or cannot have.

Witness statements can not be used at a final trial. They must testify in person. At a temporary hearing, you can use witness affidavits.

It will be hard to get alimony after only 6 years. You also may have an issue with enforcing it. If he works "off the books" you'd have a hard time actually getting the money. You should definitely get a job lined up now so you can be financially independent.
