You may be eligible for maintenance and child support in the divorce. This will depend on his income compared to yours. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
The business is solely mine. I received a sba loan for covid in July. Im am divorcing and am curious if he can take my money in the divorce.
The loan can only be used for certain business purposes and is not marital property to be divided in a dissolution.
We have recently separated. The RV was officially paid for within a few days after we began spending time apart. If titled only in my husbands name would there be any issues of equal ownership if we divorce?
Generally, anything purchased during the marriage is marital property, subject to an equitable division in a divorce. An exception would be if the money came from his separate property, such as a gift or inheritance.
File for a divorce. Using a lawyer. First initial conference is next week. The respondent has not file a response. Change of mind and heart. Can the stipulated motion to dismissed be file by petition it self, without the lawyer? Thank you in advance for your help.
You will have to go through your lawyer. Your lawyer should not have a problem with this. If your lawyer is unwilling to do this, you can ask the lawyer to withdraw and then you can file it yourself. This could also be handled at the initial status conference.

Hello and happy holidays. If you have not revoked the power of attorney then it is still active. Yo revoke it, you prepare a revocation and provide the revocation to any place that may have a copy of the attorney.

His second marriage is void if you were not divorced. What to do depends on what your goals are.
What offices within the government. Do I need to get an office translation of the divorce decree.
You register it in the United States county where you want to modify or enforce it. If the documents are in a foreign language, then you have to have them translated by a certified translator.

In Colorado, a common-law marriage is as legal as a ceremonial marriage. So, yes, if you have a common-law marriage, you need to file for divorce if you want to dissolve that marriage.

I placed my spouse on the deed however, the mortgage is solely in my name. I have made every payment on the loan myself.

This house is marital property since it was purchased during the marriage. Also, it is titled jointly. Marital property is to be allocated "equitably', which mans "fairly", not necessarily "equally". The court will probably not care who made the payments, especially if... Read more »

1. What specific language should I use on the check to ensure it is her separate property, e.g. 'Jane Doe as her separate property'?
(Has to fit on the check.)
2. Although I'll be sending the check 3 weeks before the wedding, does it... Read more »
You do not need any special language. It does not matter when she cashes the check. The key is that she needs to put it into a separate account in her name only. If she puts it in a joint account with her husband, it will be considered marital property in the event of a divorce.
She had 2 years to get refinanced and now it 4 months past that. I keep filling motions because it was already meditated, but she won't comply and won't agree to a new mediation. My last motion to go back to the original order has been denied. What can I do ? She's just prolonging... Read more »
If she will not comply with a court order, you can move to enforce. I don't know what has been happening in your case with your motions.
We are going through a divorce and the town has now rented a property purchased by us, the town to him for one year. This act caused many problems and turned an amicable divorce ugly with children involved.
I am sorry to hear about your situation. This question is not covered under domestic relations law. It sounds as though your question may relate to conflict of interest employment issues. You may wish to post in employment law.
Mortgage is in my name because we wouldn’t qualify with his debt to income. Title has both of our names. Looking for a consultation.

A family law attorney could handle your case from start to finish to obtain a dissolution/divorce for you.
I got it compared signatures its his
Could you clarify the question?
how do we go about changing the custody agreement? the state we moved from is too far away to fly out just to alter one part of the divorce. I live in Colorado now and he and the children are in New Mexico.
The state that issued the order no longer has jurisdiction since you both and the children have left. If the children live in New Mexico, that is the state that now has jurisdiction.
I cosigned for an ex partner, the relationship was abusive and I no longer have any contact with her at all. She has since missed 23 payments on that car and is still affecting my life. How do I go about getting my name off of the car and not hurting my credit anymore than it is already hurt?
If you are married, you can file for dissolution and property settlement. If not, when you co-signed, you agreed to pay if she did not. Absent her consent to refinance in her own name, you are legally obligated to pay if she does not.
