Interesting question. If the contract says it can be executed in counterparts it can be signed on separate documents.

Does wife have claim of any of this money. When married I had already stop contributing to it
answered on Sep 24, 2022

The Judge was the ONLY person who established your husband's visitation rights, and the Judge is the only person who can answer this question. Do NOT rely on a "military POA." Ask the Judge.
The employer didnt show for mediation, and after numerous request to show cause; the judge ruled they willfully failed to comply and found sanctions to be appropriate. He then ordered all defenses the employer may have had to the claims made striken and set a final hearing.

my ex girlfriend may open a child support case on me if she finds out i am newly married. Can my pre nup in Florida protect my new wife from my ex trying to add my new wifes personal income for child support case in Puerto Rico?
answered on Sep 23, 2022
The mother of your child cannot force your wife to pay child support in Florida, whether the mother sues in Florida, Puerto Rico, or elsewhere. Child support would be your obligation, not that of your wife. If your ex does file for child support, you and your wife probably should not own property... Read more »

I've been here for 5 years and he has never asked if I needed or wanted a paint job on the inside. I pay a lot of money to live here and would like it done. Is it legal to make me pay the first 250 for a repair?
answered on Sep 22, 2022
Unless the lease obligates him to paint the house, he is never required by law to paint it. Did you agree in your lease tompay the first $250? If so, end of story.
