him opened the document without his permission and deleted it. Do I have a case against her for deleting and reading my private document to him?
answered on Jun 28, 2016

If they get a judgment in excess of your policy limits, they can go after your assets. They would most likely not be able to foreclose on your real property due to multiple owners, but they could place a lien on them for when they are sold. A bankruptcy may be of some use to you if it gets that... View More
