If the home was owned jointly by your father and his wife, it likely... View More

I know it's a higher it will state and I know the main reason of why they terminated me, but they act very weird and quiet about it and I find it odd and I want to know more?

If you have enough grounds to bring a cause of action against the employer for the termination, then part of your court case could include asking for records, deposing witnesses, etc. for more information as to the termination.
If you were an at-will employee and it is just curiousity, then... View More

joint account holders have an equal interest in the funds in the account, regardless of who deposited the money. This means that you have a right to withdraw your money from the account, even if your mom doesn't want you to.

The party that it is owed to may be willing to write it off or agree to a lump sum payment to write off the rest. You would need to contact the party that it is owed to in order to request they...

It is ultimately up to the prosecutor whether a criminal case is filed or not. You can't file a criminal action on your own. That being said, you can possibly file a civil action for damages, such as for wrongful death. You would likely need to hire an attorney to assist you with filing such.

Potentially yes, but they open the company to possible liability for libel, slander, employment law issues, etc. I can't think of a good reason it would benefit a company to do so that wouldn't be outweighed by the potential liability that could come with it.

If a court case was filed, it would be a matter of public record. Even if you were successful in defending against the eviction action, the case number and details would be public record.

How does the Decree state to divide the property? It would be unusual, but possible, for the parties to remain owners of the property post-Decree without a plan to separate the real estate. However, usually your divorce decree will state either that the property is sold and proceeds divided in... View More

You generally contact an attorney that is licensed where you want/need to file the court action. It is usually filed by filing a... View More

answered on Oct 3, 2023
Yes, we do have a cause of action for grandparent visitation rights in Nebraska. One factor is the strength of the relationship between the child and grandparent. Thus, you don't want to go too long without consistent contact with the grandchild or the Court may become less likely to grant... View More

You may be able to “trace” your premarital property into the new home you purchased to have the court separate it from the marital estate before dividing what is marital. You will need an experienced divorce lawyer to help you through that process. Best wishes!
