I no longer practice law and am only finishing up a few cases so I cannot assist you, I can only state basic principles.
I don’t understand the “$800 later”. If you only put 800 out of pocket consider yourself lucky.
If you want to sue her fraud you probably could, but the... Read more »
I had until 12/16 to be paid the money and move out. I did so and signed a quit claim deed in order to be considered by my new mortgage company for a loan on a new house. Now the ex won’t sign the loan assumption papers or refinance... what can I do?

Your redress is through the court that ordered your divorce. Your ex has violated the court order. You will file a Rule To Show Cause, and because he has violated the order you might be able to get an attorney to represent you to get an order demanding he pay your fees. If you don’t want to hire... Read more »

I don’t know where you are getting the language from but the ALJ is the Administrative Law Judge. So it’s in the pipeline waiting for the Judge to write something,

If self represented, you’ll get a CD before your hearing. If represented, your Atty should be able to view the file at any time. SSA controls when people can/cannot view their file.

You can file and ask for a provisional hearing, during which you can ask for provisional support.

It depends on what terms are breached, but generally yes. Contact an attorney in your county and he or she can tell you how.
I have supported him completely for the last 20 years. He has his own business, but none of the money from that business was contributed to the family income. I paid for the past two years of our daughter's college, have paid every bill, have made insurance payments for his life, car, etc.,... Read more »

You need an attorney yesterday. Anyone who has substantial assets needs an attorney. He should get half minus the value of his business but it appears you aren’t calculating it properly. You really need an attorney!
I am legally separated and have been for the past eight months. I am paying child support now.

You need to make an argument about that. You need to get her current pay stubs and yours. If you don’t have attorneys the judge will have to calculate or you can use the online calculator.
They can take her YTD or her current salary. Make sure to identify the date new CP numbers will go... Read more »
Divorce final 02/06/17, he was given 120days to refi, he didn’t get the refi until July but it required me to sign not only quit claim but a release of judicial lien. He owes me 500/mo for 3 years so I asked my attorney before signing that doc. He advised me not to sign, my ex filed contempt... Read more »

You probably need an attorney to file a motion to sell the home if it cannot be refinanced.
The judge cannot force someone to give him a loan. You need to ask for an alternative remedy.

My ex is to provide child support monthly due to a provisional order. He has barely paid and not consistent. While the ex MIL says No Job, No Money. Is he being in contempt?
answered on Jul 13, 2018
File contempt charges against him. The order is the order until he asks the court to change. If he files a motion, the court will reduce CP until he gets a job. If he’s legit.
When I returned the house was completely empty including my deceased father's birth and death certificates and his guns, except for 2 pieces of furniture that were tore up and smelled like cat pee, a tv that didn't work and 2 other big furniture items.

You need to file contempt charges(AKA Rule To Show Cause). Go to the clerk of court tell them what you need to file and maybe they have a form. If they don’t, type up a doc that has a similar heading to the others, number your paragraphs and say what happened in one sentence each. Ask for a... Read more »
Property deed is still in both of our names.

You would file contempt charges against him if your order states he needs to take the house out of your name. Sounds like he has bad credit now so you’d have to ask the Judge to order the sale of the house.

This is not a question; a litigant in this situation needs an attorney who will demand statements of retirement accounts, by subpoena if necessary. Both the attorney and client need to feel satisfied that all discovery has been exchanged. In Lake County a “readiness certificate” must be filed... Read more »

You don’t. Having bank accounts separated is also irrelevant unless by agreement. Therefore, you can protect yourself by agreement only, no other method is foolproof. I would hire an attorney who would negotiate this with your spouse or wait until you have time to negotiate after filing.
I would like to file the paperwork to hopefully expedite the divorce.
answered on Apr 16, 2018
Yes. You cannot get divorced in IN for 60 days post filing so it would be assumed you would file before the property settlement. In mediation you might do the two simultaneously but you still have to wait 60 days.

I highly doubt it. A decree has to be issued. If you haven’t re wives the decree either you were unreachable or it was never filed. If in Indiana call the office at 219-508-8607 Tuesday. I’m in another stare call the clerk of the court.

It’s possible. If your spouse lives in the old County you can keep it there, but you don’t technically have the residency requirements for three months after you move. Within the 3 months you could transfer by agreement.

First of all, most courts won’t let you finalize your divorce until paternity is proven, and that means the baby will have to be born. If he is violent with you, ask for a protective order. That way with the protective order in effect when your divorce is finalized, it will be easier to show... Read more »
Can I file for emergency custody and physical custody?
answered on Apr 2, 2018
If you have an order that says you have joint residential custody, you might be able to get the police to help you get your children. If you have joint legal custody but not residential, you’ll need to file for emergency custody.
