When there is no activity on a divorce filing the court will eventually place the case on the no progress docket. Notice will go out that will state a date of dismissal if the file remains idle.

I have represented women in several divorce cases that had similar facts. It is an uncontested divorce. You should retain a competent attorney with experience with this type of divorce.

The answer is, yes. A motion needs to be filed, notice given to your ex, a hearing date for your motion to be heard, then the judge will decide.

A quadro should not expire. You should bring the QDRO to a competent attorney to review.
my ex-husband died last year. in my divorce decree i was granted half of his pension. when i called ford I was told they were going to remove my name and not honor the court decree as it was too old.

The answer from Ford doesn't make sense. You need to retain a competent attorney to investigate what is the status of the 401k.

4 year marriage minor hold douse cheated doesn't live in marital home. I haven't worked in a few years and can not afford the home and likely not an apartment based on the dramatic income levels.

Unlikely. The status quo usually lasts only until the divorce is finalized. Your marriage is considered by most courts asa short term marriage. That means alimony is unlikely and all that you will be entitled to receive fr your soon ex is child support. Most courts would rule that when neither... View More
I paid off house with my parents inheritance money. its all I have. He has good job with benifits. I have job but pays way less. cant afford apartment.
answered on Jul 20, 2016
If the money can be traced to your inheritance then you have a strong argument to keep the house. The issue to look at is if there has been an increase in the equity of the house. In certain situations the husband may have the right to 1/2 of the increase equity from the time the house was... View More

If you are in default then within 21 days of the entry, except if stated differently, you must file a motion to set aside the default. The motion must contain a legitimate reason why you failed to show up and secondly present a legitimate argument that states your defenses.
if we both agree is there something we can do besides a motion

I need to sell the vehicles to get a more reliable one. And since she won't help pay insurance I need to drop a vehicle that is why I want to sell both vehicles. And make her get her own.
answered on Jun 26, 2016
The answer is yes, but. Have you discussed the sale with her? If you are separated how do you plan on selling the vehicle? In my opinion you should file for divorce and deal with the vehicle by negotiation with her that will be formalized in writing in the judgement of divorce. Otherwise be... View More
I have a judgement against me because my exhusband had a reposession that I was listed as the cosigner. I handled my divorce myself, which was final in dec 2012, so I didn't think to add that he was responsible to pay this debt and they want money from me now. Can I go back and have that... View More

Review the judgement of divorce. There may be some boiler plate language in it that provides that he is responsible for the debt. If it doesn't, the general rule is that a divorce judgement is final and will not be changed unless there was undisclosed assets or fraud.

In general, when the child is 18 years old. If the child is still in high school at age 18 it would continue until she graduates.

The question seems to be cut off. Was the divorce in the state of Georgia? Did you fail to answer? Was the property located in Michigan? I can only speculate that a divorce judgement was issued in Georgia. The judge in Georgia was able to dissolve the marriage but had no power to issue an order... View More
