Lot of questions here - Were you under a conviction whilst in jail? (then you may have been civilly dead under the law) That will have some impact on the analysis. When did you discover the identity theft ? Did you file a police report? Put a lock on the three credit bureaus ? Was she prosecuted?... View More

Speak to an attorney to discuss the impact of what you are considering. It may turn out that what you need is a will. There are tax implications you should consider as well. There are ways to achieve what you desire without having to give the house to him all at once.

You may file the case in Rhode Island. The other state may have a residency requirement that could cause you to have to wait for up to a year before filing. Meet with a Rhode Island Divorce attorney to explore your options soonest.

Probably not - unless the law itself specifies a retroactive date. It does not appear to.

Of course, your rights will be well defined if you made a written agreement concerning who would pay for the costs. . .
If you cannot resolve it between the two of you, you may have to go to small claims court to resolve the matter.

You cannot ‘drop’ charges once the police file them. You can help your father by getting him a lawyer who can work with the prosecutor and make sure that he or she knows you were not injured and you don’t want to go forward. An experienced lawyer will make a big difference here, but you... View More

Not without an attorney! If the police are looking for you in order to "question" you, the best thing you can do is to contact a lawyer. If there is a warrant, the attorney can accompany you to surrender, and make sure that the police do not question you. If you cannot afford a lawyer,... View More
The deed states tenancy in its entirety with both out names listed. When we divorced he was to remortgage within a year, that was 2008. He did not until 2016. Also he never pushed me to do a quit claim because he said he did not plan to marry again. I am not listed on the new mortgage only the deed.
