It depends on the content and why they are sharing it.
My ex girlfriend filed for support in Missouri. Before the case was ordered, she moved here to Arkansas so my son could be closer to me. Shouldn’t that end the support order in Missouri?
answered on Feb 5, 2023
No. Under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act, if Missouri had jurisdiction when the case began, it continues to have jurisdiction until a final order is entered.
Once a final order is entered, under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution, any other state must give... View More

Only apply to me? Will I get the full stay? Or if it doesn't can I file alone and get it?
answered on Jan 8, 2023
Your bankruptcy lawyer can answer that more accurately than someone on a Q&A site like this. The re-filer needs to ask to have the stay reimposed, but the new filer doesn't. How the court handles it will to a large extent depend on the district you are in and who is your judge.

If you are named on the deed, you have a legal interest in the home that the bankruptcy stay will protect.

If, however, your employer requires you to stay in the building because your break is frequently interrupted by performing work if needed, then you... View More
The next day the truck was gone and we thought the lender took it. Several days later the lender said they did not have the truck and it must be stolen and to report it to the police which we did. The truck has not been located. Now the lender is contacting us. What are our options?
answered on Dec 15, 2022
Without seeing the loan agreement that discusses remedies in the event of theft, perhaps the asker owes the full cost of the vehicle minus payments made.
SSD - Social Security Disability, LTD - Long Term Disability. Is it legal for MetLife to make him pay back their money? This was insurance that he was paying for out of his paychecks, from his former employer.
answered on Dec 9, 2022
Most LTD policies contain an offset provision for Social Security benefits.
Before you receive your SSDI benefits, the LTD company is paying the full benefit amount. If SSA then awards backpay for months that you were already getting the full payment amount for LTD, you generally owe them... View More

Is it best to surrender the car or do a reaffirm agreement?

You would have the option to 1) surrender and owe nothing further, 2) keep making the monthly payments but not reaffirm, or 3) to keep making the monthly payments and reaffirm. You would likely only want to reaffirm under limited circumstances - mainly only if the vehicle was worth a good bit more... View More
