You should immediately move to another residence and not provide him with a forwarding address. Instead of having your mail forwarded by the USPS, individually contact anyone sending you mail through the US Post Office to let them know your new address. Block his telephone number and change your... View More

I am pro se. I just received a notice today that my former attorney has been subpoenaed by the opposing party to testify at a hearing. Is this allowed? What about privileged information such as the attorney-client privilege? The hearing is in 6 days.

Yes, the opposing party can call your former attorney as a witness at a hearing, even if you are representing yourself pro se. However, the attorney-client privilege may protect some of the information that the attorney is asked to disclose.

, I never put any money in it until recently and my ex spouse withdrew all the money i deposited, can he do this and get away with it?
answered on Nov 17, 2023
If you deposited money into a joint account that properly belongs to you and your ex-husband withdrew that money, you likely have a claim for assumpsit (also sometimes called "money had and received") to get a judgment against your ex-husband for the money he withdrew.

Ordinarily, a QDRO does not designate an employee's beneficiary. Because this is a very unusual situation, you probably should consult the attorney who handled your divorce case about why your QDRO names your ex-spouse as the beneficiary. The only thing I can think of that might explain why... View More

Yes. You would need to file an "Original Petition for Change of Name of Child". It is a fairly straightforward and simple suit. The father is entitled to service on the suit because the child is a minor and would have to be served or waive service if he is in the picture and agreeable.
The Texas OAG would not allow negotiations for the enforcement to be completed during mediation without their involvement. The court keeps rescheduling the trial date, and the OAG hasn't shown up to court for their interest in the matter. I am prose, and I want to file a nonsuit due to being... View More

It depends upon the particular facts and circumstances. A key fact is whether the two brothers have legal custody of their sisters kids or have a pending action for custody of those kids. If so, federal housing discrimination laws may protect them from "familial status" discrimination.
In divorce court my ex husband and his sister both lied about an inheritance of $250,000. I am angry about it and want them to be held accountable. What can I do?
answered on Nov 13, 2023
An inheritance received by one spouse is that spouse's separate property. So, in a divorce proceeding, whatever inheritance your ex-husband received should have been confirmed as his separate property. You would not have had any claim to it.
