At the beginning of the year, my daughter allowed me to park my unused car at her house.
Apparently, apparently 3 months ago, her boyfriend took my car without my permission and got into an accident. I was never informed of this and now I owe money. How can I fix it?

I think I see how this materialized - either (1) you were dragged into the claim as the legal registrant of the vehicle (which would eventually occur in the formal litigation stage, where the owner is named on summons and complaint), or (2) the plaintiff could be pursuing a claim based on negligent...

Your question for all ita detail does not state what the temporary order says. Follow the order and write grandmother to ask for mother's information. If that is hoe she wished to be contacted so be it. The important part for you is to demonstrate that you are communicating.... View More

Your question is whether you can block her number, you should not do this. First, I see your point here, and mother is definitely breaching your order by failing to provide you her phone number. However, if you then block the grandmother's number, the court will see this as a somewhat-petty... View More

answered on Sep 10, 2023
The answer depends on what your orders say to some extent, and also the papers that she is signing. If she's signing items directed to a parent or custodial guardian, that's inappropriate. If your order directs that an authorized person or person known to the child may do certain things... View More
I'm in SW Ohio, disabled veteran with 3800 in disability each month, my wife's not filing and makes 1850 after taxes. Even with the deductions, the schedule j would push me into a chapter 13 if I had a normal income. Is VA disability actually considered "disposable income"? Thank you for any help

answered on Sep 8, 2023
