I strongly suggest you contact a lawyer to represent your interests as soon as possible. The agent/broker is supposed to be working for you, the seller, and no one else. Most P&S agreements state the buyer is prohibited from entering the premises and/or doing work n the premises with the Seller's... Read more »

You should hire a probate practitioner as there is a specific way to perfect a claim against an estate that must be followed . Was his brother a joint tenant of the real estate? If not then he may not be the sole owner.
We all live in MA, we had twin daughters who are 17 & will be 18 in Feb. He had no children with his girlfriend who lived with him. He definitely had less than $25,000 worth of assets & no will. He had a camper/rv that I was told she transferred the title to herself after his death & she put most... Read more »
You really need to hire an attorney to help you with this. Even if he had a will that left everything to the girlfriend, you at least can make a claim for the unpaid child support. If he did not have a will then most likely his children should get everything.
My father passed away 3/2018, and the executor of my dad's estate is my estranged sister. So far, instead of contacting her, I have called the law office for the case to get updates.

Hire a local probate attorney to look at the file for you and bring you up to date. The attorney can also file for you a request to receive notice of proceedings.
This is the answer: The Court Order would normally state who is responsible for payment for the therapy services. If it is silent then it would be treated like other medical services.
I don't know what 'silent' means?
TIA!!!!
"Silent" means if the Order does not so state.
Corporal punishment is not a favorable method and may be considered abuse or neglect especially if it is not a singular isolated instance and is a practice. The child could be harmed physically and emotionally. Consult your child's pediatrician on potty training techniques.
an alcohol evaluation from a licensed therapist. How can they do that??
The RMV makes its own rules...basically.
Make sure you find the right therapist and answer his or her questions satisfactorily.
You got this.
We do share medical expenses, but is therapy included in that umbrella?
The Court Order would normally state who is responsible for payment for the therapy services. If it is silent then it would be treated like other medical services.
My wife, 57, is legally blind. Her vision has steadily gone downhill for 15-20 years and hasn't driven since 2005. She hasn't worked since 1995 after our second daughter was born.
Maybe, but unlikely. If she is qualified for disability for medical reasons, because she has not paid into Title 2 AKA SSDI since 1995, she would not qualify financially. The other benefit available IF she medically qualifies, is Supplemental Security Income AKA Title 16 or SSI.

Technically, no. The date should extend the deadline of his green card so that it is no longer expired. The only issue we see is if something comes up as a result of the investigation into his continued eligibility for permanent residence.
Our agreement states he is to have custody certain days and hours. He often doesn’t take him at all with little or no notice. It is effecting my job. He also does not cover his half of medical or other expenses. My son has some health issues and this expense can be a lot. I can’t afford an... Read more »
It appears that he is in Contempt of your agreement if it was embodied in a Court Order or Judgment. If so, you can file a Contempt Complaint and also a Modification petition of Visitation and also potentially of Child Support if your child's health issues will be ongoing for a significant period...

Will they move my trial up and put me in jail for pretrial probation violation
They will not usually move up a trial dates as they are booked so tight. It sound like maybe you were on a pre trial diversion or given opportunity to not have case on record but the failure of doing thre drug test could be huge impact. You best have a very good explanation for missing it. IF you... Read more »
