As child of which the arrears were accumulated for, how can i obtain a new minute order, directing pauments to me and my sister? No will or assets from deceased mother
answered on Sep 29, 2022
I believe child support ceases upon his death. It's your mom to whom he owed the support, not you. In fact, many states require the payor to obtain life insurance to cover the projected child support in case the payor dies before its paid.

When does spousal support time window start if there is a huge difference in the time of separation and case filing?
answered on Sep 23, 2022
The court generally does take this situation into consideration. If the spouse has supported themselves all this time, what is the need for support now? It is one factor that the court considers.
answered on Sep 23, 2022
Both are responsible for sharing in the debts. However, you can ask the court to make one side pay for it as part of a support order or to make sure that you have a place to stay.

Most courts consider an engagement ring as a conditional gift. The gift lapses and reverts back to its original owner if the condition (i.e., the marriage) does not happen.
