When you download documents from the internet there is no telling what you will get. Never rely upon any documents other than those produced by an experienced attorney. As with all things, it is much cheaper and faster to have it done right the first time.

The person who files a protective order cannot violate the protective order. The rule of thumb is the person who has the protective order filed against them must leave the premises if the person who was granted the protective order enters.

If the vehicle is titled in both your names, it is hard to represent it as stolen since he has a valid claim of ownership. I don't think you have a way through police or the DA's Office to get the vehicle back. The only thing that comes to mind is small claims court. The argument is a... View More

The real issue is whether you are both on the original mortgage, or if you are going to be on the new mortgage alone.

It also depends on how many things your and your to-be ex agree on these issues already. Most attorneys will ask for a retainer or $1500 to $2500 and they will bill off... View More

The case hangs on until the parties or the court take an action to dismiss the case. Some courts clean up their dockets regularly, others not at all.
