Based upon your description I would recommend that you contact the Illinois Department of Labor and make a claim for the salary/wages you are apparently owed which have not been paid for three months. Here is a link to the website: https://www2.illinois.gov/idol/Pages/Complaints.aspx... View More

As far as the adverse impact on the recipient goes, the answer is yes, they are the same. However, bank wires are usually much more reliable than checks-- and thus do not "bounce" as easily. At least that is the way it was when I was an operating officer in a large bank.

Yes, it is a crime to cash or attempt to cash a cancelled check.
The banker, who was with us from start to finish, neglected to have him endorse the checks, but he was fully present and agreed to the deposit. None of the money was spent until a few weeks later, when, unbeknownst to me, my brother got the bank to move the entirety of the funds from my acct (I was... View More

A check is not valid unless it is endorsed by the person who is cashing it. Therefore, you cannot deposit an unendorsed check. You have no recourse against the bank.
No one is on the bank acct. but My Father. She is his ex wife but we have no papers to prove that.

If your brother is the executor he needs to file the necessary paperwork with the Court in the County where your father resided at the time of his death. That being said, there is a significant amount of work that must be put into your father's estate to ensure it is properly handled. You... View More
Can I write a check on her own personal checking account to get half of it back?
answered on Mar 23, 2018
You can't write a check drawn on your wife's account if you're not listed with the bank as a person authorized to do so. If there is a pending divorce case, let your lawyer know what she did as quickly as possible (before the refund is spent), especially if there is a court order... View More

The house will stay in husband's name until legally taken off through mortgage foreclosure or tax sale.
Only other way is for a probate estate to be opened and the house sold.
If the daughters are not on the note to the house, they have no liability.
Often, when a house... View More

The answer is going to depend on the exact wording on the trust. It would be unusual for the person creating a trust to give someone else the power to determine who benefits from it.

You haven't provided enough info to allow for a complete answer, but I can say this much. Our law is far from perfect, but it is not without understanding. He can take you back to court and seek to have you held in contempt for failing to pay what you were supposed to pay under your Judgment,... View More
I have proof of the amount he will be receiving but he is lying about it. He has stated they haven't settled it yet, but my picture proof shows the amount and that he, my husband, has agreed to the amount. Our marriage is rocky so I suspect he will keep most of the settlement in a secret... View More

He can try to keep all of the settlement, but it is a marital asset, and your would be entitled to your equitable share of it if you were in an actual divorce situation. If there is no divorce case involved, he if free to do whatever he wishes with the settlement proceeds. You will be entitled to a... View More

How could all of this be going on without you being aware of it.
Banks send monthly statements. Anyway, they don't honor checks if there is no money in the account.
Credit cards do the same thing. They send monthly statements and if you go over they refuse to honor charges.... View More
