My ex husband’s lawyer says I clipped them where I wanted to. So they can’t be admitted into evidence.
answered on Sep 18, 2023
The good news is the Judge, not the opposing attorney, decides what evidence will be admitted. With that said, you will likely need your own attorney who knows civil procedure and the rules of evidence to properly present your evidence.
Best of luck!

The only reason I can think of might be to minimize exposure for child support or possibly support alimony. With that said, I would go to the source and ask the attorney who made that suggestion to explain their strategy and then you will know for sure.

Sorry to hear of your headache with the insurance company. This is difficult to answer without seeing the power of attorney your mother signed.

The legal age of majority in most states in the United States is 18. Once you reach the age of 18, you are considered an adult and generally have the legal right to make decisions about where you live.

Technically it is still a state statute making it a felony. However, it has been rarely enforced since the 1960s. With the texas case of Lawrence it has become even more challenging because it’s a privacy issue between two consenting adults. Even though that case was a sodomy case between same... View More

answered on Jun 29, 2023
Context and details are always critical, so I think an attorney would need to first know the specific situation you are referring to in order to know whether or not there might be a duty to do, or not do something.
If you have a specific situation, contact an attorney directly (don't... View More
My son has full custody of his daughter and the child’s mother either won’t meet him at the court ordered time and location when he is supposed to get her back after visitation with her mom or she has him driving everywhere to pick up child.

If the court order is clear about visitation exchanges, then it is a matter of enforcement of the order. If the order is not clear about exchanges, then it may need to be modified. Meet with an attorney and after the attorney reviews your case they will be able to explain your options and a plan... View More

For instance, if there is a term that states no living together with your significant other for at least a year, would getting married supercede that?
answered on Jun 12, 2023
Maybe. Some decrees will cite an exception for marriage, but some don't. It would boil down to to the exact language used in the decree.
answered on Jun 9, 2023
DHS records can be obtained with a court order. The attorney you hire will know the process to get the records.
Best of luck with your case.
