Their argument will be that they have provided you that value in services. You should go to a new lawyer. Exercise your due diligence before you go--seek referrals from your local or statewide lawyer referral service.

Can I Obtain The Tittle of King USA
answered on Feb 5, 2022
I am not sure what a Tittle is, but the title of King of USA is prohibited by custom and was refused by George Washington.
With all due respect, get a life!
There was an autopsy and investigation with pictures. We would like to have everything.

But you can find an answer by contact the owner of the school--be it public or private--and request permission. That will be dispositive of the matter

Not unless you endorse it.

It is obvious from the tenor of your question that you are doing a DIY bankruptcy. That's your first mistake. You are making assumptions that things happen automatically when for the most part they don't.
Go get a lawyer to help you sort this out.

Can the card holders go after my wife to pay here debt?
answered on Jan 18, 2022
We do not inherit our parent's debts.
If the parent has assets and the estate is administered, creditors can make claims against the estate. There is a statutory pecking order for payment--and the government comes first!

I am aware of the judgement that was filed. I am planning to file Ch7 bankruptcy, however, I would like to stop the garnishment as quickly as possible. I will not be able to afford my rent next month. Is there anything I can do?
answered on Jan 18, 2022
The most effective and efficient way to stop all that stuff is to file for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy--but don't do it on your own. You need a bankruptcy lawyer to guide you through the pitfalls of the process.

How do you propose to proceed.
Where was the debt creadted: Australia or the US.
Has your debtor been Australia when this debt was created.
You need a lawyer, either in Australia or here (or both).
What was your alternative, hire a hitman?

We were never married. I went through a modification but have since completed and returned to making regular payments
answered on Jan 14, 2022
Does your partner have a lawyer. If he doesn't then you hire one for yourself.
Your half interest is your homestead and if the facts are right the ex's half is his, and as such is exempt.
You need a lawyer to intervene and protect your interest ASAP.

I think you are correct in being pro-active.
You need to consult a lawyer in Texas who does bankruptcy. You don't say where the house is, what your interest is, nor any detail necessary for complete advice.

They are U.S. citizens, born there. How would the process go, would they be able to choose what state they get deported to or to the state they were born in? Who would pay for the flight? What happens afterwards that?
answered on Dec 21, 2021
What happens is subject to Israeli law and the agencies of their government that enforce it. Your guess is just about as good as mine, but I would suspect that they will be repatriate on a local airline and dropped off at the nearest arrival point for that airline in the U. S.

The short answer is YES.
Tort (not torte, a French pie) judgments are no different from others unless they include specific punitive or exemplary damages, which may not be discharged.
Take you specific problem to a good BK lawyer so he/she can know all the facts and base an opinion on that.
