She is trying to make me pay for 1/2 of it when the charges arent mine but she says she used the card for the house. As a user I can not get the transactions through Chase as she will need to approve it.
answered on Sep 28, 2022
Its impossible for a lawyer to simply tell you that you are or are not liable for any or all of the charges on that card since there are multiple scenarios where a court can impose liability.

answered on Aug 4, 2022
My guess is that your sister is planning to list and sell your mother's home as part of her handling of the estate, or she wants to discuss with you the value of the home for her / you to keep as part of the division of assets of the estate. My suggestion is that you can meet with her and her... Read more »

He was facing jail time for a dui charge as well so he ran. He and his boss have ignored NEW Jersey Probation for a year now as well to avoid paying his alimony. Can his boss be held accountable for willfully ignoring the order for wage garnishment?
answered on Aug 1, 2022
I presume that your former spouse's employment was / is in New Jersey and that your former husband still works for the company remotely. Presuming I am correct, then an order served upon the employer in New Jersey for garnishment is valid and must be honored. If the employer refuses to honor... Read more »

i go to work and have to leave my child with the baby sitter for around 10 hours. Can I use the baby sitter or have to leave the child with other parent if the other parent is available

Based on your work schedule, someone needs to watch your child and it can be up to 10 hours per day during a normal work week and you have been using a babysitter for that role, but your ex is available to watch your child during that same time frame. So, I gather you would rather pay a babysitter... Read more »

In a bank account. We never spoke about it again and to be honest I never thought about it until he passed. In a case like this is there any way to find out if there’s an account with both our names on it?
answered on Jul 21, 2022
When your dad passed away, who was in charge of his financial affairs? Im sure that the accounts identified whether they were in his name alone or in joint name or payable to you upon his death.
This is the 2nd time I get him and he has a alarming mark on him. First time a deep scratch on pubic area. Today 3 red mark on the side of his neck. I asked father both times with pics and he says he knows nothing about that. I’m worried and I want to know what should I do now ?
