I have community property case, my then attorney filed for rental reimbursement in the descriptive list but not in the petition. is there a statute time limit that it should have been requested?
answered on Jan 5, 2022
No statute of limitation. But it is prospective, not retroactive to date of filing for divorce.
Husband has taken the kids and car and now living at his moms. This leaves me and the oldest son who is not biologically his but has been raising since 2, he is now 9, with no vehicle.

Find a cheaper place to live and leave. Hire a divorce lawyer and get a car.

You are probably co-owner of the house. Call Southeast Louisiana Legal Services.
I had a prenuptial agreement stating a separate property regime. I was advised “exclusive use” couldn’t be granted but it was. I thought it would only be until divorce. It’s been a year and I can’t get reimbursed.

Do you have an attorney? If not, you need one. If you have one, you need new one.

If the property was purchased hased prior to marriage, yes you can sell it any time. If it was purchased during the marriage, no you can't sell it now.
She doesn't pay it on time and it is ruining my credit.

It sounds as if she was given use of the home, but the property has not yet been split, or partitioned. You should consult with an attorney who handles divorce or property law to discuss filing to partition the community property.

Your partition should have:
1) Given her the LLC,
2) stated she had 30/60/90 days to refinance SBA mortgage.
If it does, then hurry and hire a lawyer to OBJECT to the HOC. If it does not, then hire a lawyer to file a 2d Petition to Partition for Omitted Liability.

If Louisiana is your permanent address, and you have no plans to move in the immediate future, you can file in Louisiana. I would defer to someone who is familiar with the divorce laws of the other states to say if you can file in one of the other states.
My ex filed, which I agreed to at the time, even though he cheated on me. The divorce was granted over a year ago, he is remarried and refuses to respond to the proposed settlement agreement.

Call the Louisiana State Bar Association or the Bar Association in the parish you reside and ask if they have a list of attorneys who might be willing to provide you legal services at a reduced rate or pro bono.
answered on Oct 6, 2021
Simply call any attorney who handles divorce and family law. Many attorneys will offer an affordable rate for an uncontested divorce, and they can often be done without setting foot in a courtroom.
The motion was denied even though the parties were separated even before filing for the divorce. The court's reason was "a 102 divorce cannot be taken by default".
What should my next step be in order to get this divorce finalized?
answered on Sep 23, 2021
Yes, I agree with Ellen. In Louisiana you are entitled to a no-fault based divorce under Art 102 or 103 and can get default judgments under either article. More than likely you left out a step required to finalize the divorce.
My experience has been that judges are a little more finicky... View More
