I do not have the full amount but can make payments. Do I initiate the payment plan or wait until the lawyers go through discovery?
Contact your lawyer and initiate a compromise settlement or payment plan with the creditor.
The short legal answer to this question is yes. The short practical answer is yes, but they will probably will wait until everything settles down. But do not rely on them waiting.
My ex wife and I share custody of our son. When she initially wanted to leave, she was going to do so without any type of agreement. I put an order in place to prevent her from leaving with my child, then she turned around and put a restraining order on me, that was thrown out in court. We came to... Read more »
You likely would have likely had a better chance had you gone for custody from the beginning. If the child has been in AZ for at least 6 months, jurisdiction may be out there now which will likely put you at a disadvantage having to travel out there for hearings. You should consult with a local... Read more »
My son is 18 and dosen't follow our rules. He is a senior in high school but doesn't go on a regular basis, so he most likely will not be graduating. He disappears for days at a time and won't communicate with me when I try to reach him. I've been having a lot of problems with him over the past... Read more »
Yes. You have zero obligation to continue to enable him after he is 18. Feel free to put him out on his own.
I'm not on their insurance. The insurance wants them to file theft but he will not. Can the insurance company have me arrested?
No. But you need to get with an attorney who handles traffic tickets because chances are you are going to get one and you need to know how to say what you need to say.
Your are flirting with a problem, no pun intended. It's ok to be friends, but you should draw the line there. It's a ldr as you pointed out. I'd start looking around for someone closer geographically and age wise before progressing too far. Your young and I'm sure have many great qualities. If... Read more »
His work Visa has expired years ago. I want to marry the love of my life. He doesn't have a criminal background. What should we do?
Thank you,
Fay
Fay, your best option is to marry your fiance and apply for U.S. citizenship when you become eligible.
As a U.S. citizen, you will be able to file immigrant petition and application to adjust status for your husband to keep him in the U.S.
No. You would pq
I am the one who opened the case against her do she have the right to move from one County to another County without letting DSS or myself know in the state of North Carolina
Unless ordered by the court to do so a person generally has no obligation to get permission from or tell others that or where are moving. In fact, sometimes the purpose of the move is so that others don't know.
I have injuries in my lower back and in my neck. I had a lawyer before, but now I am looking for a new one.
Don't wait for someone to contact you; this isn't a referral service. It's only a question and answer board. Just reach out to attorneys - you could attorneys in or near your county here on this site, through your own independent searches, or maybe through the resources of the North Carolina Bar...

Or does the officiant have to turn it in because he is out of county too
If you and your potential spouse are eligible, you can get a marriage license in any county at the local register of Deeds office and use it in any North Carolina county within 60 days of it being issued. The officiant must sign it and turn it in within 10 days of the ceremony where it was issued.... Read more »
Citation, failure to reduce speed, has already been settled in court and given 40 days to pay before the shut down..
Under normal circumstances a Failure to Reduce Speed ticket should likely have been dismissed (meaning there would be nothing for you to have to pay) so if you handled this yourself - odds are you didn't do it right. If you do not pay, yes a $200 penalty will likely apply and DMV will be notified... Read more »
I received an email that my security deposit would be mailed out that week. Then a month later I was sent a bill stating I owed for damages. I was sent the itemized bill 48 days after the end of my lease.
A landlord has 30 days to issue an itemized statement regarding the application of the security deposit and/or return any unapplied security deposit. However, if the landlord's damages are not fully known in that time, they have to issue an interim accounting and then a final accounting within 60... Read more »
I've asked couple of questions that my attorney will not answer. I'm in North Carolina,my disability case is very important to me. Example of 1 my questions- Do I need to get my current Dr to write a letter or fill out any paperwork for my upcoming disability hearing?
Attorney- I can't... Read more »
It would be best if a North Carolina attorney advised you, but you await a response for four weeks, and the whole matter may be moot by now if you already had the hearing you mention. But as a general matter, attorneys should be able to share information with clients - their role essentially makes... Read more »
A North Carolina attorney is best suited to answer your question, but you await an answer for four weeks. As a GENERAL premise for motor vehicle accidents in MANY jurisdictions, time lost from work to attend doctor visits or physical therapy is not usually compensated as part of basic economic...

If it was a test setting, yes, because phones are equated with getting outside help. Good luck

She has primary physical custody. Our order is in Hawaii.
Probably not. Religion is a deeply personal decision. With joint custody there should have been communication regarding the baptism however i do not think either parent could force it nor prevent it. This is similar to non essential medical care decisions (dental sealant, HPV,). the law presumes... Read more »
1. Paid all lawyers fees 1st year
2. All creditors came back for the full amount, claiming to have never received any payment
3. Lawyer won't give me any further information
4. All payments were good except the last 5 payments
If your proposed Chapter 13 plan was confirmed, any money you paid in would be paid out to creditors according to the terms of the plan and you would not receive it back.
Depending on the terms of the plan, your payments may have gone to pay your attorney fees first. Then when your case... Read more »

Mrs. Boone,
Your are entitled to one half of all assets and potentially spousal support and alimony. You should not give in to his threats.
Please contact an experienced family law attorney who can stand up and fight for you in your location to assist you.
Being able to get your license depends, of course, upon your eligibility for reinstatement with the DMV. Now, if you're waiting on a DMV hearing, that usually means that you have a current set or permanent suspension suspending your privileges, thus you'd need to have the hearing and win it in...
