I am intervenor siding with appellant. I am pro se. They gave me order on when to file brief. I followed order and all other r.a.p. I think they didnt like the content because judge was disqualified but refused to recuse. They are playing games with me, I know.

You can ask them to reconsider but I wouldn't hold my breath. Usually their orders will state a reason. You are an intervenor so your rights are limited.

You should talk to a lawyer who handles those, however disability claim on migraines is very tough.

Your appeal was won, I'm assuming you had an attorney, they are the best person to answer as they know your case fully.
We were not notified of the judgement of return of property until the 10th day due to a clerical error at the Mag. office. We went to file an appeal at the prothonotary office and were told we would need a judges order to file it. Can a judge overrule a Pa rule of civil procedure of 10 days to file... View More

The rules of civil procedure provide that a judge may enlarge the time for the doing of any act......So the judge if they grant your petition isn't overrulling the Rules, just doing what they allow judges to do. So if you want to appeal do it.
We were told she can come back, she got deported and it's been more than 10 years, something about a forgiveness. Do I need to fill a visa alien card? Residency? I'm really not sure where to even start, I have not a lot of money and don't know where to start......anything of an answer would be great

From what it sounds, if your boyfriend is a US citizen and is eligible to file for his mother, she would probably need an I-212 waiver and then have to process through the consulate abroad. These cases are very difficult without a lawyer. But I would consider at least going for a consultation... View More
L verdict. I am appealing, but i have no factual verdict to appeal. Can there be a civil trial and no factual decision?
answered on Nov 9, 2015
The time to appeal has long since expired. It is usually 30 days.

You assume that you can appeal, when perhaps you cannot. You needed to go see an appellate attorney back when you asked this question.

We have 2 kids, he left us about 3 months ago. We had a hearing with a mediator and the ex immediately appealed the order. He is always canceling to get the kids last minute, hasn't even seen them in a week. Is it just his word against mine? Do I need to get a lawyer? I can't afford one.... View More

Help can only come for you if you have money to hire a private attorney. Perhaps you could go see one for a free consultation to learn about what needs to be done.

Did you think that you had given enough facts here? I hope you have an answer to this question by now, and have already received the money. We do not even know what type of case it was or if there was already a suit.
I am in Berks County

A precise what? What are the facts here. You have to have grounds, and grounds are based upon facts. There are many reasons to move to strike a brief. Look up the PA rules of appellate procedure and start reading, or get an attorney who does appeals to review everything.
