His stuff can I throw it away?
answered on Nov 26, 2022
This depends on what your divorce decree says. Your divorce decree probably gives him a deadline by which to get his belongings. If I were you, I would reach out to his family again with a drop dead deadline and tell him that you will get rid of the belongings by a certain date if they do not come... Read more »

The husband is guilty of manipulation and severe, emotional abuse of your sister and (probably) their son. Idaho, like most other states can give your sister a divorce for FAULT reasons, not just "irreconcilable differences" which is "no fault." IN a divorce, if your sister,... Read more »

As a litigator, what I constantly have to remind myself is that judges don't care how good my argument is to give my client custody, or how persuasive I am about the good things my client is doing etc., if it's not in the child's best interests. This is thE ONLY factor that the... Read more »

In the absence of much additional information, this question is nearly impossible to answer. We will have to fill in some gaps in the facts.
We will assume the asker is the petitioner for spousal support which is known as "alimony" pending litigation (alimony pendents lite). The... Read more »

There isn't a question here, but we can intuit that this asker wants to know if the husband can sell a vehicle he gifted to the asker spouse. The answer is yes until the divorce is actually filed. Couples are free to transact business without legal permission. That is the essential nature of... Read more »
I hired a divorce attorney in mid 2020 and paid the retainer off in early 2021. The attorney worked throughout mid 2021 and 2022. The divorce is still not finalized because my ex-husband's attorney has been stalling with returning my attorney's calls and letters. My attorney informed... Read more »

The law of lawyering demands that attorney fees be reasonable. "Reasonable" means there must be an objective standard involved in the receipt of fees. That standard is typically an hourly fee for work performed.
This hourly scheme works wonders for an attorney who wants to abandon... Read more »

If you are 18 with your own ID and passport then you can legally travel unless there is a specific court order that says otherwise.
answered on Nov 23, 2022
Once you are 18, you are emancipated. With this in mind, no you do not legally need either parent's permission to travel with the other. Good luck!
I filed for divorce in march of 2020. We were separated for 5 years already.
answered on Nov 23, 2022
If you have a valid separation agreement that should govern equitable distribution. Speak to an attorney to go over your agreement.
So my ex signed the papers, and my lawyer filed it with the court on August 11th, 2022. It was an uncontested divorce, no kids or property shared. Basically no fault and just a very simple split. He wants nothing, I want nothing. I just want to know the realistic timeline that I'm going to... Read more »

It varies given the backlog - I've had Judgment's signed in as little as a couple of months, and I've also had Judgement's take 5-6+ months. It may also go slower based on the holidays, incorrect papers, etc. For a 2d opinion, call a Bronx Divorce Attorney.

One cannot advise you whether your case is "worth pursuing" without a full assessment of the facts of the case. If your husband at least produced a net worth statement, then an attorney could send out subpoenas for corroborating documentation even if your Husband isn't willing to... Read more »

Ex’s name in divorce decree is (using initials only) JAF instead of JIF.

Have your lawyer correct this. It may cause you issues in the future, The good news is you are divorced.
To what extent does it matter which state the property to be purchased is in, if the unmarried individual lives in community property state while the married person resides in an equitable distribution state? Thank you.
answered on Nov 19, 2022
Your question seeks an answer that’s much more comprehensive than a lawyer can provide in this forum. Are you seeking to protect your portion of the real estate only or do you want to protect all of your assets? If the latter, what other types of assets do you own? (Trademarks are protected...
