No statute of limitation. But it is prospective, not retroactive to date of filing for divorce.

You need to agree to requested showings. The CDC concluded that surface transmission was low. Get vaccinated. You can require that anyone looking at the house wear a mask and stay outside yourself until the showing is over. If not, you can be held in contempt.

Yes, you can, however you need to read and review the listing agreement to see if there are any ramifications you might have if you terminate the listing agreement ahead of time. Also you need to read and review the listing agreement to see what, if anything, it says if you change you mind again... View More

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.
Does the first signed contract negate the second. Are will I be held to both ? What are my rights to cancel in Louisiana ?

You can always see your interest in the property but as you might guess, it is usually difficult to find a buyer for something he may not be able to do anything without the co-owner's consent.

If you want a lawsuit to make the owner(s) sell the property, then I do not think a suit for specific performance is going to get you there unless you have all of the owners sign the purchase agreement or you can prove that the owner who did sign the purchase agreement had authority to sell the...

If you have a court date, then a lawsuit has been filed. You indicate that "...this doc has costs us thousands of dollars and would like recourse." You need to immediately consult with an attorney or 2, and then hopefully hire one to represent you. Good luck.

Live in Louisiana. She spent money out of her account through your marriage on a variety of things. Food, house note, etc. am I legally obligated to pay that back? And if so wouldn’t that open her account up as community property
answered on May 4, 2021
Your attorney should be able to argue that daily expenditure was a gift. But for any major expenditure, like a home remodel or car, she would be entitled to a reimbursement if she has the bank statement, invoice, or cancelled check to prove it.

It is possible but few lenders would be willing to loan against such defective collateral. The borrowers might see if they can borrow enough money to buy out the non-borrower's interest in the real property. The loan, note, deed, and security instrument can all be executed in one closing.
