This is certainly nothing complex - at least not the concept. This is a lawsuit where you would be suing your spouses lover and basically claiming the lover broke up your happy home and you need to be compensated. These types of law suits are often difficult to win because you have to prove your... View More 
My wife and I divorced 2 years ago. We both signed a quit claim deed in front a notary, "giving her the house" which was never filed in court or anything, she still has possession of it. She has still not sold the house, or taken my name off of the loan. I am still paying the mortgage. We... View More

I assume you did not have an attorney, as no attorney worth their salt would have allowed you to sign a quit claim deed while still on the mortgage. Hopefully there is something in the divorce judgment that addresses this issue or you are for lack of a better word very likely screwed.... View More

These are questions for your tax preparer. If you plan to do your own taxes and you don't know the answer to these questions then you need someone to do your taxes for you.

Depends. If you do nothing, then he basically walks away and pays nothing. If you hire an attorney and get the Court involved, they usually at least make him pay you child support maybe more.
If you sign a separation agreement in a divorce saying you will pay off his credit card bill but circumstances have changed. Like he is only paying you 700 a month because he is making you pay the car payment, a mortgage that is 1100 and other bills to keep a roof over your kids head. Also now he... View More

Depends on a bunch of things. First, what you mean by trouble? Second it depends if the agreement is properly drafted and if so what the terms say. Third, it depends on if it is just a separation agreement or if it has been incorporated into a divorce judgment. Regardless, it is likely the... View More

Sure, you can ask for anything but it is likely you really want to know what the odds of getting it are. You may get child support. You likely will not get alimony unless that was brought up during the divorce.

Of course you can but it is likely the real question you want to know is will I get into trouble. The answer is possibly and it depends on how much of a you know what you ex chooses to be if they find out. If you want to date and associated without worry of issues later down the road, just get a... View More

If what you are saying is true - you are not married.
During the divorce process, if a lawyer is involved, does the filer need to contact the other person, or can the filer give all the contact info to the attorney and they do the hunt downs and such, contacting any family member if needed to find the person (out of state) and get the needed info?

Not sure what you are asking. When you say 'filer' who are you referring to? And when you say 'lawyer involved' do you mean your lawyer or your spouses lawyer? You can have what ever arrangement you want with an attorney but the best way to get divorced is to pay a flat rate... View More
I asked this twice already with no answers. Last question was sitting a month without a reply. I am sure I know why. Yet, I will keep asking until I get help.

We'd need more information but likely not - at least likely not without possible consequences.

No - a 'notice' won't work unless he wants to move out. If he won't agree to move out, the only way to get him out legally is to file a divorce from bed and board or if he ever get violent with you a DVPO will likely work as well.
My ex filed the divorce papers in a wrong manner. This did not attach the separation papers. Apparently my attorney did not get the answer to the court in time , and I am only concerned my daughter not have to visit my ex. There is no mention of visitation in the divorce dcree, only in the... View More

If your ex did not want the Separation Agreement incorporated and purposefully left it out - then she likely filed correctly. So unless your Separation Agreement states that it 'shall be incorporated' or words to that effect, it is likely too late to now have it included in your divorce... View More

If you are talking about a divorce in North Carolina - you likely have the wrong idea. There are no papers to sign. NC is a no fault state. You do not need your spouses consent or permission to divorce. While it is nice if they sign an acceptance it is not required and in most cases there is no... View More

The short answer is yes, you can change the locks. You own the property - you can do with it what you wish. Lawyers prefer that you not change the locks unless your spouse has indicated to you that she is leaving with the intent not to resume the marital relationship and you can prove it or if... View More

No. Of course, if she is still on the deed she can break in likely without penalty. Your best bet is to consult with a local family law attorney.

You can change the locks and maybe refinance in your name alone but refinancing in your name would be a bad idea because you can not change the deed without her consent or a court order.
We have everything divided up per a separation agreement. I put a forward in the post office. However, some items are still being sent to the home we shared.

In addition to filing a forwarding address, you should have changed your address directly with those you do business with. So at this point, now that you know there is a problem, your best option is to do what you should have done in the beginning.
