No. A verbal agreement made on the record has the same effect as if in writing. Sometimes, there may be a dispute about the fine details of the agreement. For example, if you agreed to sell the house, but never indicated when, the judge will enforce the sale of the house, and if one party asks the... View More

What you are seeing in writing would be in the the judgment of divorce. In a divorce, the court does have jurisdiction over the marital assets. When the parties don't agree, it's the court's job to make an order. And the court retains jurisdiction to enforce that order.

Was there a QDRO done?

Yes, you may be entitled to an equitable share of her retirement account. Of course, your accounts would be subject to division as well.

It's up to the plaintiff - your wife in this situation - to serve you the paperwork in order to continue the process; that must be done within three months of filing with the court, otherwise the court could dismiss the case for lack of service, and she would have to file anew.

Most often, it would be to the parent with primary custody / recipient of child support, in lieu of a calculated support amount.

Nice try, but no. You would need the permission of at least one of your parents to marry anyway. And marriage is between TWO people.

What are your parents not allowing you to do that you think you can and want to do when you turn 18 in less than a year?

Can they be found? I'm no expert in crypto so I don't know. The opposing party's attorney, through appropriate discovery demands, could establish that you have or should have a certain dollar amount in assets, whether they are in crypto or not.

Larger question is what would... View More

The police are not the right answer. She could conceivably subpoena the review website for that information and go from there.

Perhaps some (small) portion of it, yes. The divorce process divides the marital estate: the assets and liabilities incurred during the marriage - which is generally from the date you were legally married. The longer you are married, the more there is to divide of course.

Would your ex agree to re-open and complete the process? There is a court rule that provides a mechanism to do this, but it requires adherence to strict time deadlines. Courts follow those timelines closely, and when your time's up, your time's up. The alternative is of course to re-file... View More

If you entered your marriage in good faith and not for the purpose of getting immigration benefit (which USCIS assesses before granting you the green card), your green card card is legitimate. Any threats with purpose of having you being removed is not founded. In addition, by filing a petition on... View More

We would need to see the trust agreement to determine whether the property reverts to the grantor(s), or whether title vests in the beneficiaries. If the trust is still revocable (because the grantor(s) are alive, the grantors could revoke the trust and own the property as they choose. There is... View More

Is the divorce finalized? If not, this issue needs to be addressed in court.

Not sure what you mean by "communal" property, but it certainly is an asset and debt of the marriage for divorce purposes.

Possibly yes to both parts. File a motion regarding the overpayment and file a motion regarding the car.

Good question and reasonable logic. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Child support is calculated using a formula that factors the disparity of income between the parents among other things. Even with joint custody, one parent is likely to pay the other parent some child support.

If you had an attorney, you should go back to them to see how best to address it. It would of course be up to either party to ask the court to enforce any of the provisions, and until that time, it may not be much of an issue. Still, if it's in error, it should be corrected. And sometimes it... View More

A judge does not have independent access to anything, nor will they research or confirm evidence not presented. I would assume it's indisputable (meaning that your ex isn't going to say you're lying about this)?

Most county courthouses have some form of a legal assistance center that can provide you all the forms your need and generally explain how to complete the process. Go there. I can tell you if you are looking to file a divorce and looking into MCL 700.281, you are way off the mark.
