Can they charge or file a bill of information? They can but it most likely would be defective if they do not have a victim alleged in the bill/charge. That said, if there is no victim and/or no evidence, then the State would not be able to convict ---I would strongly have one involved in this... View More

Can it? Yes, but not likely. The jurisidiction you are in has a set fine schedule and what other fees/amounts which may be assessed in connection with an adjudication.

You can accomplish this via an Act of Donation. If you only do a standard Act of Donation, your wife would not be a party to the mortgage, however your wife would receive whatever it is you are donating (presumably 1/2 interest) subject to the mortgage and/or whatever is in the public record.....

There was no gate, no barrier walking from sidewalk into the yard. There was only one dilapidated fence (well under 6ft) seperating the neighbors yard on the east side. So the rest of the property was open. Does this fact nullify Louisiana 14:62.4?

How can I proof they are at fault with no evidence
answered on Feb 26, 2024
Evidence is in the form of verbal (testimony) and documentary (paper, maps, tapes, records). Being that you were involved in the accident, you should be able to provide testimony so you have evidence. On the other hand, a Judge has to weigh all of the evidence to determine fault/responsibility so... View More

All cases are different and depend on the specific facts however the Courts prefer that both parents be involved in the life of the child so based on that, the likelihood of joint custody is high.

One way is to call the Clerk of Court where the case is pending, provide the information you have and ask. You can also try to do this electronically but there may be a charge and you may have to sign up for an account----that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

We own a condo together. We are broke. Barely getting by. I am unemployed. How can I divorce for least amount of expenses?

My answer is that if you are currently living in Louisiana, then you should file in Louisiana-----that said, you indicate that you own property, you do not mention your debt, if any, of the community, so I recommend that before you file that you at least consult with a family law/divorce attorney...
