You should reach out to the new collection company to understand the status of your debt and discuss your options. Since the original debt collector agreed to withdraw the judgment but then sold it, you need to clarify the situation with the current holder of the debt. Explain that the original... View More 
The division of asset as listed nor properly divided. I was never given a copy of the divorce decree and zero asset where listed and no pension was granted on my behalf as it waws martial property.

A default judgment can be set aside by the judge. Simply claiming the property wasn't properly divided may not be enough. The judge will need to know why you didn't do anything before now. If it is set aside, it begins anew.

Citizens report the incident to law enforcement, law enforcement conducts an investigation (if appropriate), prosecutors decide if criminal charges are to be filed. In most cases, family court is where these situations are addressed not criminal court.

You can sue the company and him personally. Allowing an attorney, like me, to evaluate, organize, send a demand and draft your conciliation complaint (up to $15,000) may be a wise investment. A well polished complaint will not only provide the judge a solid foundation to rule in your favor, but a... View More
Hard getting into a place when i show obligation to mortgage in a house i dont live.
I've lived with my kids, my sister etc. Is he in contempt of court ? can i sue him ? What can I do
answered on Jul 6, 2024
I have no doubt it is stressful. That is why I and other attorneys try to ensure everything is final (or easily finalized) when the judgment is signed. Did you have an attorney 15 years ago?
Obviously, you can try to convince him to take you off the mortgage yourself. You could hire an... View More

If proper arrangements were made and it was successfully completed, it seems unlikely a mom with 50/50 (who agreed to custody voluntarily) and admit themselves to a residential treatment center would lose custody rights.

I suggest you first visit the court's website to access the court records if no one has told you anything regarding the outcome of a probate case and it's been over 2 years. Then you may decide to go to the courthouse (in person) to view documents not viewable on line. If it was a small... View More

In most civil cases, you do not have the right to a court-appointed attorney. This includes dissolution (divorce), custody/parenting time, and child support cases.

It could possibly depend on additional details. A local attorney should advise on any state-specific aspects. But as a general matter, if you mean your company is a medical office and a patient comes in while leaving their children in a car, the short answer is that it is something outside your... View More

My wife is that persons sister and was never notified. Is it the lawyers responsibility to verify that all this data is correct?
answered on Jun 24, 2024
She likely needed to determine the interested parties in the estate and serve them notice of the probate. I am confident the attorney would have asked about any siblings. What is your wife going to do now?

If you’re inside the US, he can sponsor you to adjust status for your green card after you get married.

Unfortunately, in many places, producing a card is not sufficient any longer. The court may require a letter from the... View More

It is pretty atypical for someone to be charged separately for alleged offenses arising from the same incident, but it is permissible and... View More
