Doesn't North Carolina have a 1 year waiting period? I do not think GA does and would rather file in Georgia and have this divorce done quickly. We both live in an apartment and do not own a home in NC. However, our car tags expired and we did get NC licenses and tags for our cars.

NO. GA has a 90-day waiting period once you file for divorce. NC requires you and your spouse to live separate and apart for one year. Have you been separated from your spouse for one year or more? If the answer is yes, then you can file for a divorce now.

Who else is on the mortgage and deed?
I don't understand your question. If man decides to call off the relationship and moves out, then can you afford the property on your own? If the answer is yes, you keep paying the mortgage because your name is on it if you still want to live... View More

How long have you lived in NC? If the answer is 6 months or more, then you can file in NC. I don't know what these "papers" are. If this is just a marital settlement agreement and its signed by both and notarized its valid, but you would need the NC divorce papers.

It depends. Did the father-in-law make gifts to you and your husband during his lifetime of dishes, furniture and so on? It does not matter who paid for it but whether the property was given to you or not. If the father-in-law has bought things and given them to you for use, then a gift is a... View More
I am still listed on the Property at the tax office. As far as I can tell, no will has been done on his part.

Question does not make sense as phrased. Since you have the deed, there should be two columns under the headings of grantor on the left and grantee on the right. The grantee is the person who has title to the property. Whatever the tax office has is irrelevant for ownership of land purposes.... View More
Put a home on the land, the surveyer said one piece of land was not included in the deed. Now we can't put a home on the land

See a real estate lawyer now. I have not seen the deed but there sounds like there is a big big problem. The real estate lawyer who did the closing would be most familiar with this.

The tenants of the mobile home park usually get notified after the sale occurs so that they can remit their lot rent to the new owner. Why would the tenants need to know before the sale and why is it any of their concern? The new mobile home park owner has to honor any existing leases.
answered on Apr 26, 2014
Depends on how you want to look at it but the commissions are paid out of the sale proceeds. In essence they get paid by the buyer and the seller walks away with a little less.

What does your lease say? You have a right to quiet enjoyment of the property but the landlord can show it. Generally 24 hours notice is required unless some other time is agreed on.
We signed a contract with a builder for an inventory home (new and never lived in); however our home inspection noted a structural flaw with the roof and flashing that cause water to leak down a wall. Concerned about this, we would like to know our options if we wanted to pull out of the deal.... View More

What does the contract say? Is it contingent on you doing an inspection and the repairs of any problems exceeding a certain amount?
Although new and never lived in homes should not have structural flaws. Have you discussed this with the seller/builder? The time to get him to fix these... View More

If you are sued, you have 30 days to respond. If you are the person suing and counter-claims are raised in an answer then you have 30 days to respond to the counterclaims.
This begs the question of why you are worried about it. Its for your lawyer. If you do not have a lawyer then you need one.
Am I held responsible for the balance of what is owed on my home if it sales for less then what is owed? example; I owe $102,000 if they sale it for 85,000 do I owe the difference?
answered on Apr 26, 2014
It depends. Was the mortgage through a traditional bank or third-party or did the seller provide financing? If the latter, then no, you do not owe a deficiency. If this was through a regular third-party lender, then you do owe a deficiency but that does not mean that a bank will seek a... View More

Nope. Medicaid by law is mandated to seek recovery from your mother's estate when she dies. If she gives the house away now then she will not be eligible for Medicaid.

File a lien against my residence or land I own free and clear or would the Bank file a judgement against me which would follow me, so if I sold a property or my residence the Bank get paid first?
answered on Apr 26, 2014
Banks do not file liens. If you owe money to the bank and don't pay the bank may turn over the debt to a debt collector. Eventually, the bank may sue you and if they do, they will probably recover a judgment unless you have some sort of valid defense. If and when that happens, then the... View More

Yes, child support continues until the child is 18 or graduates high school whichever is later. So a petition for support can be filed at any time before the duty to pay support would be at an end.
