Are you asking if the lender will require both spouses to sign for a refinance when the rental property is in one party's name? It depends on whether the new mortgage will be in both parties' names or not. Even if the property and mortgage is in one party's name, the lender may... View More

i am the PR - I do not want to have to come to nebraska during covid - do I need to file for an injunction in Nebraska before filing in federal court in Massachusetts?
answered on Feb 5, 2021
You might move to be removed as Personal Representative. But all assets that have come into your possession would have to be transferred to the new, proposed PR. Federal Court probably has no jurisdiction in this matter, and if a Court wants a hearing, that is the Judge's discretion, not... View More

Unless you reach an agreement with the other party, you are required to follow the court order. If a teenage child has only two weeks in the summer with an out-of-town parent, it would be common for the teenager to take off work for those two weeks to visit their other parent. If that... View More
I believe the court did not have subject matter jurisdiction when making an initial temporary custody decision. My ex did not live in Arizona for 5 months. Never visited. Never went back until the day before he filed the petition for custody. So doesn't that mean it would not have had subject... View More

In Nebraska, if there isn't already a custody order in place, then you generally need to file the custody action in whatever state the child has been residing the last 6 months. This state where the child has been residing at least the last 6 months is generally referred to as the "home... View More
I was convicted of two misdemeanors and am currently a part of a voluntary, non court case with DHHS. They have implemented a family safety plan signed by all parties that my ex husband is not adhering to so I’m not seeing my kids. I was promised unsupervised visits by my DHHS caseworker but now...

You may have rights under the Indian Child Welfare Act. If the safety plan through CPS isn't working or isn't being enforced, then you likely need to pursue a custody action and request a hearing date before the judge. You should retain counsel to assist you or will be at a strong... View More
Me to pay back child support from time of 18 to 19. Child has been living on their own and has been paying mom even when living for the three months of 18 and never reported the move.

It isn't clear from your question if this is a Nebraska case. In Nebraska, child support is generally ordered until the child turns 19 years old. It is possible to file a motion to credit if you paid child support directly instead of paying through the Child Support Payment Center. It would... View More

I am trying to help my parents.

There's not enough information here to provide an exact answer. What can be done depends on what assets would pass under the grandparent's Wills, how long ago they died, the values of the real estate and the personal property, and other factors as well.

Is that legal first of all. Second my ex wife knows our daughter better than anyone so that is why I would prefer to talk with her. This is not about my ex wife it’s about my daughter.

It isn't clear from your question if the mother of your child is your wife or your ex wife. If she is your ex wife, I assume there is a divorce decree in place that sets forth each parent's parenting time and possibly even a communication protocol. If there is and the mother is not... View More

Child support generally (but not always) terminates when a child begins service in the military. You may want to check the wording of your order. Some orders specifically state child support ends when military service is entered. Depending on the terms of the order, you may need to file a motion... View More
But, there is a special condition that if we are ranchers and own all the land, a 2nd home can be built, so we can "get around" the problem of not being able to build two homes, by not separating the 74 acres into 2 parcels (so we both own the ground), so no real problem so far. But, I... View More

Your question is too specific for a general posting board like this. You will want to consult a real estate attorney experienced with farm land issues to see what exceptions might apply in your specific situation.
And does it get filed in probate because it's worth over $50,000 dollars
answered on Jan 5, 2021
In some cases, a probate case has to be filed in court but not in all cases. You should consult an attorney in person, who works in probate, or in real estate, or both, for guidance. The attorney should review the Will, the relevant real estate records, and any other relevant info before... View More
My best friend has a 3 year old and was never married to her father. The are no longer together but have not went to court for custody. Does she automatically get temporary custody of the child until the go in front of a judge?
answered on Jan 5, 2021
Yes. Absent anything to the contrary, natural mom of a child born out of wedlock is considered custodial parent by Nebraska law, but there are a number of factors that may change this, such as whether paternity was established by acknowledgment of the father, whether the parents are residing...

Yes. May do. It is not uncommon for a defendant to "assign" the bond money to their criminal defense attorney as part of the fee agreement for services.

If a non-parent wants custody of child that has been living with them, the most common process to obtain custody is to file for a guardianship action to ask for custody of the child. You generally need to show that the parents are unfit in order for the Court to award you custody if a biological... View More
When hired the agreement was use of personal vehicle and a fee per delivery. After obtaining corporate vehicles they’re requiring use (when available). Meaning who drives them is a matter of scheduling making this policy seem potentially discriminatory

Child Support and Parenting Time are two separate issues. Not paying support doesn't prevent you from visiting and paying support doesn't guarantee a right to visit. Alot depends on whether the guardianship is full or partial. A guardian simply steps into the shoes of a parent and has the... View More
