You may be looking for 14-07-11 and 14-07-11 of the North Dakota Century Code. But the better answer is that you need an attorney to help you file for a divorce. Divorce can be quick and relatively painless if settled by way of agreement or collaborative family law.

The short answer: call your bank (for mortgage restrictions), call your city (for rental permits).
My son is 15yrs old. He is on supervised probation. He has been in and out of facilities several times for behavior. He ran away last night and is now in police custody in a hospital. His aunt helped him and was coming to take him to a different city without permission. What can I do? His aunt has... View More 
I decided to help this girl and gave her a very deep slash on the price. The main reason I gave her such a price was that it would help her and it would honor my wife as i think she would approve, I had to speed up the sell and I asked her for $600 down and $400 to come and they agreed and I told...

Hypothetical question. Was told by my brother and sister in law it would be my fault. My dog is a Sheltie and is very expressive before taking action also has not bitten anyone. I am concerned with how kids act around dogs and dont listen very well that I will have to put my dog, who is my ESD for... View More

No attorney can predict the outcome of a case with accuracy. With that being said, if you knew these kids were coming towards your dog and the dog bites them, it sounds like you are the one most likely to lose in that situation because you already knew what was going to happen.

There is way too little information here to make a legal determination. If you are facing a criminal charge, you need a lawyer.

2 months later her owner changed their mind and wants her back- can she legally come and take the dog since she didn't even look for it for over 2 months ? Does she need to pay me for the Vet Bills I had to pay to get the dog fixed and vaccinated?
answered on Apr 3, 2020
Dogs are property, it could likely be argued that she relinquished the property. Potential small claims court case.
My sister is doing a medicine recidency and her program might be cut off. In case that happens she will be deported to Peru. Her husband would start the procedure for her to return to the states as his wife, but does not want the baby to leave the usa. What are my sisters´ rights, if she wants to... View More

That is more of a family law question. If your sister is awarded custody, or if the baby’s father allows your sister to take the baby, then she should have no issues.

If they have been living in North Dakota the requisite amount of time, then it may be time for a child custody proceeding to be initiated.
I got pulled over for expired tags. when they asked to search me I told them I had a knife on me. The cop said he ain't going to ticket me for why he stopped me but arrested me for misdemeanor weapon concealment charge. Was that legal?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
Maybe, it depends on the circumstances of the stop. Many lawyers, like myself, help individuals determine if their stop and arrest were legal.
They have dated almost two years he was 17 she was 15. They are still in school. But the mother to the 16 year old won’t let dad see the baby .

A father's rights are not there from the get-go. A child custody proceeding sounds necessary.
My ex recieved a letter from the court stating that they would not sign off on the child support because its lower than the calculated amount
answered on Feb 4, 2020
You need to use the child support guidelines to calculate the correct amount and resubmit.
I have filed for custody of my son and the defendant has been served in the state of MN. If she does not respond after the 21 days given to respond, what is expected to happen then?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
A default judgment could occur in which you are awarded all that you have asked for in the complaint. However, the judge is still going to review that judgment to make sure the requests are compliant with the law.
When he sells it i would get half. He's in the process of selling. He probably doesn't remember that at all. My name is not on the deed and the house is paid for. I can get a quick deed. Do I remind him of the divorce papers or what?
answered on Feb 4, 2020
You remind him of the divorce papers. You then sue him for the money if he fails to turn it over. But I would suggest doing so quickly as a lawsuit is only as good as the money standing behind it.

There are some larger issues with a traffic ticket that old. Specifically, whether you have a warrant for that ticket and whether any evidence even exists anymore to prove or disprove the claim. As soon as the case is opened, yes, you could likely dispute.

Child support is difficult to modify, but a stipulated order may do the trick if you are now residing in the same household and sharing expenses.
I am married, household of three (my wife is not filing with me). I make around 72k annually and my wife makes around 35k. I run with all of the household expenses as she can only afford her debts and provides everything for her baby, she is left with nothing in her pocket after paying everything... View More

Highly unlikely, but you should contact a bankruptcy attorney immediately who can assess your complete financial situation.

The usual solution is the nephew needs to make a claim in your mother's probate case for distribution of your mother's share of the house to him. He will need to prove that there was a contract and it is now paid in full. It would be helpful to at least get a photocopy of the deed from... View More
