cross claim or procuring a deposition of
plaintiff) waives their contractual right to compel arbitration, does that also cause that if they do continue at arbitration an arbitration award on that matter cannot be confirmed by... View More

You are quite correct regarding the waiver of arbitration: any act that is inconsistent with the agreement to arbitrate will waive that right. While the simple act of interposing a cross-claim may not, in all circumstances, waive the right to arbitrate, taking a deposition conjoined with the... View More

If you mediated, you may have already agreed to the transfer. Hire an attorney to search the title and and see if there is an action to set aside the transfer for fraud. But 3 year SOL has run and the trustee is the one that has standing. If sister is trustee, it is presumptively fraudulent.... View More

Is creating a trust the best option to protect my assets before a divorce in Utah? If yes, should I have my trust before or after the divorce? What options I have to minimize the loss of my assets in Utah?

If you are already married, the only way a Trust might help is if both of you sign an irrevocable trust, permanently giving up your asset. For example, the irrevocable trust could give the asset to your children. Once you both sign it, you no longer have control over the asset, so neither of you... View More

If you are representing yourself you could file to enforce the mediated agreement. But there is not a form for that. If a final order was drafted by... View More
I don't write letters often to Federal Agencies, however, wen I do, they almost always go unanswered for several months, or several years or in most cases - never. Just trying to get a feel for a viable defense if they come back one day down the road. Thanks.

No. The Federal Rules of Evidence do not have a statute similar to O.C.G.A. 24-4-23. The closest would be FRE 301 but that would not likely help you in your specific circumstances.
