We had to move MIL into our home for her last two years. Can I bill the estate for 23 months of round the clock care at a reasonable $500 per month.

On the financial affidavit, he claims that the business started after separation and he used his own money. Can I use the checks to verify that his business started before separation? Is...

Seems like the answer could depend on when the business entity (if there is one) was actually formed. If it wasn't formed (created) with the Secretary of State until after you separated, then there is an argument that the business wasn't marital. However, if that is the case, then you... Read more »

Until the divorce is finalized your wife has an interest in the property and would have to sign any deed.

Unfortunately, you likely aren't going to get a clear answer on this type of forum. I would highly suggest that you DON'T try and handle your pre-nup on your own, and instead at least consult with a local family law attorney. I will say that the pre-nup might not have much that is... Read more »
All debt in my wife’s name and we are divorcing. If I am responsible for 50% of marital debt and she is filing bankruptcy, how do I file for my half of the debt if it’s not in my name?
answered on Sep 19, 2022
I had this issue in a case in Oklahoma, involving a Colorado bankruptcy, and a Florida divorce.
Your divorce decree/property settlement agreement most probably allocates responsibility for the marital debts, and that is what includes you as a responsible party to the debt. But your... Read more »

I asked my ex-husband if he could watch our two kids on July 13 when I go out of town for work (a day trip). He told me no, that he would do nothing extra. He will only see them every other weekend and every other Thursday for dinner. I asked about his two weeks in the summer that is in the child... Read more »

No, there really isn't.
The court CAN'T make someone care more about their children, or want to have additional time with them. I suppose it is possible that you could rework your custody schedule so that he has 124 overnights per year (which would change his child support... Read more »

If you think that your mother can no longer care for herself, then you need to file for guardianship of your mother. This is not a simple process and I would encourage you to get the help of a local attorney.

Hire a NC attorney to search the title. It is very possible that both of you owned as Tenants In Common, such that her issue take her one/half interest as Heirs.
Just before my father passed, he and I set up a savings account online with me as a joint owner.

The funds in the checking account at the time of death are part of your father's estate. Because this money was transferred after death, it becomes much harder to determine the ownership. To access the account, you will have to go through the probate process and be appointed the personal... Read more »

There are a couple of questions that will need to be answered before I can give you specific advice. Did your grandfather adopt you as well? And second, are you biologically related to your grandfather? If you can answer yes to either of those questions, you can likely get his assets transferred to... Read more »
