A Delaware attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. This could be something that a L-T attorney would have insight into. Not all questions are picked up, but you could try reposting and adding "Landlord-Tenant" as a category. Good luck

Good day! While it is not mandatory to hire a lawyer for filing an ancillary relief after divorce in Delaware, it is highly recommended. Ancillary relief involves important legal matters related to the division of assets, spousal support, child custody, and other financial issues.

In Delaware, if you are a party involved in a child support case, your name should be listed on the court papers. Generally, both parents' names will be included in child support proceedings, especially if they are the parents of the child in question.

It would appear that parking in a fire lane in PA is a towable offense. Don't need additional warning signs about towing. Probably Tow Company called by Mall Security.

Q: Can you file for bankruptcy if none of your bills f your bills are in collections

answered on Feb 6, 2022

Yes.

There are two basic tests for whether one is bankruptcy-

1. Inability to pay debts as they become due, and

2. If the total amount of your debts exceeds the total value of your assets.

Eligibility for specific chapters of bankruptcy are set forth in Section 109 of the Bankruptcy Code.
