There was no court settlement at the time of the divorce as we chose to do that on our own. My ex refuses to sign a quit claim. How can I proceed to have her name removed from the deed? Can I still sell the house even if she does not want to ?
answered on Nov 19, 2024
You cannot remove her name from the deed without her consent. You can force her to sell the property, but that can only be accomplished through a partition lawsuit. In a partition lawsuit, you ask the court to divide the property evenly. This typically only works if the property is undeveloped... View More

Handling this divorce on your own and not having the Court address what would happen with the residence, means that no, you cannot force your ex to do anything without taking them back to court. If it is not a part of the previous final judgment, then there is no order to force your spouse to... View More

The only information I found was that you can not have red or green lights visible directly in front, and you can not have flashing or amber lights. Does this mean I can have red mounted on the sides with blue as long as they are constantly on and not flashing or rotating?
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Below is a statute that addresses some of the restrictions on the lights. Depending on where you drive, there are also other ordinances and laws that apply.

We already lived with her for about a year because she was sick and needed our help. She was too sick at the end and she passed before she could make a quick deed. My husband also got very sick and couldn't take care of the title change yet. What does he have to do to get the deed in his name?... View More

FIled motion for a hearing and his hired attorney trying to get transferred and delay everything from not agreeing on dates available in my county
answered on Nov 18, 2024
Talk to your attorney about whether you filed in the correct county. Normally, if the child resided in the county where you filed for the preceding 90-days, you filed in the correct county. Otherwise, a transfer to that county would seem to be the correct procedure. If a transfer is appropriate,... View More
My father died without a will and his wife(StepMom) passed 3 years later. The Deed states that it was Joint Tenancy with Rights of Survivorship.
answered on Nov 18, 2024
When property is purchased by a married couple in NC, it is assumed they own it as Tenants by the Entirety. Based on your representations, it would appear that when your father died, the property would pass to his surviving wife. When she died, it would go to her heirs, and you would not inherit.
I assumed my mothers mortgage acct with W F same bank as checking acct .3 times now they have refused payment making my regular payment triple and my mortgage acct default . What can I do?
answered on Nov 18, 2024
You have provided insufficient information for me to know exactly what is happening. But it sounds as though your mortgage may be in arrears due to unpaid fees or other charges. If the amount tendered is not precisely correct including any late fees or other charges, a lender will often reject it... View More

Mold was making my family ill so we moved ourselves to a hotel in hopes the landlord would remedy it properly. That didn't happen and was made worse by exposing asbestos in dry walls.

You can then return to the court that issued that order to ask to get your child back. Generally, children do not get to choose who they live with. Speak... View More
