Read the prenuptial agreement carefully. If in fact it says what is yours is yours then you can transfer it whenever you choose to whomever you choose. You may want to speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

You need to look carefully at the deed to the house and how it is titled. If it is tenancy bu the entireties then he will get the house if you die first and likewise you will get the house if he dies first. A specific dollar amount owed per the prenup will be enforceable regardless of how the house... View More
Can I move out of state if I continue to pay my child support?
answered on Jun 18, 2022
You, the parent, can move wherever you like as long as it does not change the child's school or the other parent's timesharing schedule. Otherwise you need to seek either agreement from the other parent or go to court. I am guessing from your question that you want to move and leave the... View More

Unfortunately your only legal remedy is probably partition, which means buying your brother out. It doesn't necessarily mean that the house must be sold but he will be entitled to his share of the equity. You can argue and should receive credit for maintaining the house all of the years that...

The deed to the house is in just my husband and his step-dads name. However there are 4 more siblings. The step dads will states that the house is to be sold and split 5 ways. Will my husband be soley responsible for any taxes due or fees since he is the only one on the deed?

It appears that you husband and his step-father each have half interest in the property. So what do you mean when you indicate that your husband is the "only one on the deed"; has the step-father died? If the will is admitted to probate, one would expect that the step-father's half... View More

What forms and what state do I file?
answered on Jun 16, 2022
The you would file in the court which originally awarded you guardianship. It is doubtful that the court has forms for that; you need to consult with an attorney licensed to practice law in that state.

If she dies with a will, it would generally depend on the terms of the will. If not, your step-father and half-brother would get shares of the estate; so would you.

The best solution to your wife's unfortunate situation is to her to hire a real estate litigation attorney to file a lawsuit called a "partition action" to force the sale of the house. Your wife and her sister would then split the proceeds. She might be able to convince the court... View More

How would I go about getting a writ of garinment
answered on Jun 13, 2022
This is a specialized area of the law. Look for a consultation with a local lawyer that does collections. As I am sure that you have figured out, having a piece of paper that says that you are owed money is not the same as money in your pocket.

To inquire about whether your daughter has a chance to get custody of her 13-year-old half-sister, you should ask this question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Kansas > Family Law; it has nothing to do with Florida law.

Contact a family law attorney in your area as soon as possible. You may need to file an emergency Motion for Return of Minor Child.
Separated as of Jan 2022, he left home. Lease is thru July 30,2022 we are both listed on list he has been paying half the rent but not any child support. Will him paying half rent count as child support?
answered on Jun 9, 2022
While it is not automatically considered child support, if you and the child are living in the home and he is not, he can make the argument that the half rent payment is for the benefit of the child. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.

I don't know what you are asking about, but the judge could perhaps vacate an order; litigants (including pro se litigants) can ASK the judge to vacate an order, if you can show that there is cause for doing so.
Like I won this hearing and the judge sided with me but somehow he makes it in words it as if I’m the one at fault it was filed today how can I change it
answered on Jun 8, 2022
Hire another lawyer and pay them to vacate the order you don't like.

You are bound by whatever court orders are currently in place. You say that your spouse has "primary custody." Is that in a court order? If you want to see the children and there is no court order then you need to go to court for clarification. Speak with a local family lawyer for more... View More

Normally not. You don't owe the alimony, he does. She could make a claim against his estate, but not you personally.
