Ex has been incarcerated since 2018 to present. Am I responsible to store his belongings after divorce was final and gave him 90 days?
Also, if I was to pay ex for equity of home and nor him or his attorney provided Deed of Trust address. Do I still have to pay? Is there a statute of limitations?

answered on May 8, 2022

Yes there is a 21 day waiting period. Let us know 3-5 days after that time passed. You should receive the Decree within that amount of time.

What is your question? WA is a community property state, so is Idaho. The property you purchased is "presumed" to be 1/2 his.
You can "prove" you purchased the property with "separate money," but it will be your burden to prove. The fact that he signed a... Read more »

answered on Aug 27, 2021
Yes, these two documents, Civil Protection Orders sometime continue through the divorce proceeding. However, the Civil Protection Order is a "stand alone document," and doesn't need a divorce proceeding to survive. The statute says that after the first continuance of the CPO, you... Read more »
I have asked via phone, email, and text. What options do I have?

answered on Aug 10, 2021
If I were you, I would file a Motion for Contempt. This motion will put him on notice quickly, that you are NOT playing games and if he continues to play "keep away," he may actually end of spending time in jail.

2. Failing to draft and file a proposed DECREE or ORDER consistent with the Stipulation; and,
3. Acting against it.

When my ex and I got divorced, I signed a quitclaim deed on the home and gave her everything. In the judgement for divorce, it states that she shall refinance the property within 2 years. We are approaching the 2 year mark and she has not refinanced. What legal options do I have?

answered on Dec 16, 2020
I would send her an email and ask what the problem is and why she hasn't refinanced the property yet? When she answers you, listen to what she says carefully. "Contempt" is the "willful violation of a court order." If she has tried and her credit shows that she has, yet... Read more »

Are these consecutive or contiguous weeks? Second question, two weeks is not a terribly long time. They can also take schoolwork home and study remotely so why are you willing to spend thousands of dollars on attorneys for something simple that you should be able to work out in emails?
