In the majority of divorce proceedings there is an automatic temporary order. This prevents selling, disposing, destroying, etc.... any marital assets. Likewise, insurances must remain intact as well. Even with the temporary order in place a judge may give permission for one or the other party... View More

answered on Jun 24, 2020
The first question is a hypothetical, which I can't answer since I don't know what the law will in May of 2023. The second question is that if the original home that was destroyed had your name on the deed, or was by financial equity of some kind marital property then you have a pretty... View More

Why an annulment instead of a divorce? This is something you should discuss with your divorce attorney when you have your consultation.
School is out mid-May. Graduation is late June. How should the final payment be handled?
answered on Apr 28, 2020
You will need to review your support order. Most of the time the order will state the due date as the 1st day of the month. If child graduates in June then the June 1 payment would be made as usual.
