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.
answered on Dec 14, 2021
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.
Specifically, refinancing our house and paying me the equity by the dates agreed upon. The value of the house has also increased since the agreement was signed and executed.

You can enforce the home refinance and equity payment order in court.

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. You will have the same issues to resolve as any other divorce, such as custody, child support, property division,... Read more »

If you are common law married you can ask for spousal maintenance, however to be considered common law married, you would have to have held yourselves out at married to others.

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.

You do not necessarily need a separation agreement just because you and your spouse are separating. You will need a "Separation Agreement" in order to finalize a divorce. This agreement contains details regarding your property division and support issues. Leaving the house is not usually... Read more »

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
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.
answered on May 17, 2021
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?
answered on May 11, 2021
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.

You will have to obtain a dividing order prepared by someone who specializes in the field. Then one or the other of you will have to file it with your employer.
Married 20 yrs. It’s been owned home before marriage. He has refinanced three times and never put my name on the house.
answered on Apr 30, 2021
You will have a claim on the increase in value that occured during the marriage. That increase is marital property, subject to an equitable (meaning "fair", not necessarily "equal) distribution in the divorce. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.

I think the order will apply since they did not file an appeal at the time. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
My ex husband filed a motion this week to modify medical decision making of our daughter. Our divorce decree states we must go to mediation prior to filing a motion but he and his attorney skipped this step. Could this be considered contempt?
answered on Apr 26, 2021
I do not think contempt is the right response. You could file a response pointing out the failure to go to mediation. The court is likely to order mediation in any case. You should get a lawyer to help you with this.
