Hi, so my boyfriend was divorced twice. First divorce was filed in NY, the second marriage occurred in California and he was filed the papers from California while he lived in NY. Would both of these show up on his marriage license in NY when we plan to get married?
They should not.
My cousin got her 10 years green card through marriage with a citizen husband. After she submitted the citizenship application from Brooklyn, New York, her husband has to move to Texas for work for 1 year, but she wants to continue staying in Brooklyn. If they just live in different cities, fly and... Read more »
As long as there are no other issues or red flags, this shouldn't be too bad of a problem. BUT - I STRONGLY suggest she invests in a consultation with a good immigration attorney who is experienced with family and divorce issues so that the attorney can thoroughly screen her for any possible other...

My lawyer states he cannot grasp the idea of my being handicapped because I am not in a wheelchair. He has not help me get any financial support thru the courts in one year. I am 66 years old. What can I do to be correctly represented as a handicapped person in my divorce?

Def made a motion in family court, was denied due to phrase "in lieu of maintenance" def to pay $5400 / month to pay bills, he was also denied downward mod for CS. He reapplied to argue renew or vacate judgement of divorce in supreme, was denied but granted a hearing for downward mod. at hearing... Read more »
Your question is very confusing. In general arrears accrue from the date they were not paid. They continue to accrue until the order is modified (if it ever is). If downward mod hearing was never had due to resp withdrawing motion, he can move for downward mod whenever he wants.
She has bpd and multiple personalities. I'm pretty sure she did it to just collect alimony. No kids. Not sure what to do.
It sounds like you need to see a divorce lawyer. The pets are "property" to be divided in the divorce. As to alimony, since it is a very short term marriage, if your wife were to get alimony it would be for a very short time.
My ex verbally released me from a section of the divorce decree stating that I was to pay half of all utilities and mortgage after a year. Would she be able to reinforce this? The time frame in the decree is when the home is sold, which it has not
No, any amendments to a Divorce Agreement or decree has to be in writing with your signatures notirized.
Signed away all rights to house in divorce, but spouse hasn’t and won’t refinance to take my name off mortgage. She plans on selling and I will get no money in the sale, would I get hit with a capital gains tax?
Not if all proceeds are reflected as going to her on the 1099.
Divorced, haven’t lived in home for 4 years. Ex promised she would refinance, she hasn’t and won’t, mortgage company states that an assumption of mortgage cannot be done.

You have no options. Should have done a divorce decree. You can sue for partition to force a sale, and get the mortgage paid off.
I'm filing for divorce but I have no income, I'm going to legal aid. I filled out the application & was wondering how good my chances were of being approved? My soon to be ex does work but he cashes his checks and doesn't leave money in the account.
They would be in the best position to advise you on that
My lawyer died, I have no representation right now and I can't get a new lawyer until I can obtain my file from the firm. He was a sole practitioner so waiting to see who is taking over.

My lawyer passed away right before my trial. I'm in the middle of a pretty horrible divorce. I've contacted the nysba multiple times with no call back or answer. The judges Chambers as well and my attorneys office. I've received no mail on if my court date has been moved or who is taking over as he... Read more »
Fax a letter to the Court - if need be the administrative judge and and also contact your local county bar association.

The only way your name will come off the bank loan is if your ex to be takes out a new loan in her name alone or the current bank agrees to it (which is unlikely). As for the missed payment, you can make the payment and claim reimbursement for it as part of your settlement (as it affects your... Read more »

The question is where were they in the divorce process. If they had come to an agreement, then that would control. If they were truly in the middle, then your mom is considered married retraining notice or not. Without a will, all the children would share in her estate according to law.
he is not being sued yet but forsees it in the next year
If he expects to get sued he should get the divorce immediately. It would be up to a court to decide if the transfer was real or not.
in February 2019 I used an agent to file an uncontested divorce in Manhattan, NY. I checked with the clerk a couple of times, they say it's pending and nothing to do. I checked my case on the "webcivil supreme - case detail" again, noticed both "RJI Filed" and "Justice" leaves blank. I'm not sure... Read more »
