This is an issue involving a large sum of money. When dealing with something of this importance, you need to discuss with a real estate attorney. Your attorney will need to review the divorce decree and the deed to this home before he or she can answer your question.

I do not accept clients with United States District Court civil cases. My practice is limited to representation of individuals with Arizona work injury claims

There is no waiting period for the use of a small estate affidavit. Access can be given immediately unless the contract signed with this business provides otherwise. I would demand immediate access unless they have something in writing and signed giving them the right to delay.

You may be able to change your mind but I recommend discussing this issue with independent counsel before you decide. Independent counsel can review the materials you signed and can learn more about the facts of your case. He or she can give you an opinion as to what is in your best interest.... View More

Hello. I hate to say it, but this goes WAY beyond the kind of legal advice you should be seeking on an online question and answer forum. It's not really even clear whether you are the plaintiff or defendant, and it's nearly impossible to address issues relating to dismissal without a... View More

You may have a good claim. Generally, a business is not responsible for the criminal conduct of a third party. But where a business has notice of prior thefts and does not take reasonable steps to secure its premises for the protection of its customers, there can be liability for a... View More

First you need to search for other possible insurance policies on which to make claims, but if there are no other policies available, besides the one you have exhausted, then you need to do an asset search on the liable party to see if it will be worth the return on your investment to file a...

If you are representing yourself in this litigation you need to be familiar with court rules. See rule 12 (d) that states when matters outside the pleadings are presented in support of a motion to dismiss under rule 12, the Court shall treat the motion as one for summary judgment. You have some... View More

This appears to be more of a business question than a legal question. If this client is a valued client who gives you repeat business or referrals, you will want to work out a mutually agreeable settlement with him. You have already done a good job of this by offering a free tax return. Speak... View More

Before I can let you know your legal rights and options I would need to know more of the facts and review any contracts or agreements you have as well as the complaint and final judgment in both court cases you mentioned.

The latter controls the filing deadline for an appeal, and lists the specific types of motions that toll or extend the appeals due date. That list does NOT... View More

When it comes to interpreting any contract, it always boils down to the terms of the specific contract that you signed. With some notable exceptions, the courts and the law tend to stay out of contractual relationships, allowing parties to enter into contracts on terms to which both sides agree.... View More

The bad news is that anybody can sue anybody else for anything any time. Our legal system is fairly efficient at then weeding out the baseless cases, or at least more efficient than most, but you simply cannot stop somebody from suing if that is what they are bound and determined to do....

Go to or call the courthouse where the restitution lien was issued from.

Possibly, if you accumulated 8+ points within a year then you face a three month suspension or Traffic Survival School. Each speeding violation (including criminal speeding) is 3 points. If you are eligible for Defensive Driving School, ask the judge to see if he or she will allow it. That would... View More
