Your post is missing something which does not allow one to attempt to answer your question.
I do not want to answer to them, and my attorney is not deposing them, and telling me to go to this deposition. It feels to me I'm bringing the bullets to the gun owner. .. It is a custody case with many twist .

If you were not subpoenaed to appear, then you cannot be punished for refusing to appear, assuming you are not a party to the lawsuit. You mention that your attorney is telling you to go, which makes me think you are a party, however. If that's the case and you fail to appear, then the... Read more »

A petition for name change needs to be filed. If your child is over 18 then he is the party to file it. If your child is under the age of 18, I believe both parents need to have notice of the lawsuit and/or be a party of the lawsuit. Some parish Clerk of Courts have forms for this, but if your...

If your mother had a will, then it largely depends on the wording in your mother's will as to what she says would happen to your mother's portion should your mother (or any child) pre-decease her. I recommend taking a copy of the will to a probate/succession attorney in your area and... Read more »
My brother died and owned a house. It has been vacant for a while now and I don't know if it has been foreclosed or anything. I just don't know where to start
answered on Nov 11, 2022
Start with an attorney who focuses on "successions." You'll need to know whether your brother died with a will or without a will. You'll also need to talk with your brother's children and find out what's going on with them.

Usually, the undercurator would file something informing the court that the curator is no longer capable of serving; however, any... Read more »

You really need to speak with a Louisiana attorney who handles custody matters. There's a lot of additional information the lawyer would need to know to answer the question, such as where the child was born and when the petition was filed.

I am sorry for your loss. A succession will have to be open to pass the decedent's estate onto his heirs----in this instance, since there is no will, who receives the estate is based on Louisiana law. Further, depending on the solvency of an estate, sometimes it may be advised to hold off on... Read more »

Inferring from your post, I assume you are talking about permanent spousal support? Regardless of whether it's permanent or temporary, I suspect that there is an Order in placing which details this obligation.

If a Judge will entertain the legal document filed and have a hearing, then yes, however, if you do not already have one. then you need to retain a custody/support lawyer to assist and represent you in this matter. Good luck.
