Call your insurance company, if you carried comprehensive coverage. Otherwise, your claim is going to be litigated, probably in Small Claims Court, where you can recover up to $12,500, without an attorney. If your car is worth more than that, you can sue in Superior Court, but you will need an... View More

It could depend on the agency. Some are more aggressive than others. You could try to negotiate a lower figure if you are newly out of school and struggling. They MAY or MAY NOT be receptive to your attempts. No one here can say what their position will be. They could say no. If you DO succeed in... View More

Because you are on probation it is not just a matter of negotiating an outcome with the prosecutor, as it would be on the new charge. You will have to deal with probation and revocation and a sentence on that in addition to handling the new charge. It is still possible to try to deal with some... View More

People are often discharged from probation early once they have completed the terms and conditions of their probation. I can't say for Ramsey County, but in many counties you would be transferred to unsupervised probation or discharged early after you have completed your community service and... View More

Generally child support issues fall within family law. However a case related to the disabled child must be filed before the age of 18 for the family law courts to have jurisdiction over the matter beyond the age of majority. So the question is, was there ever a case that was initiated that child... View More
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.

Yes, if the current deed (that the mom had upon death) is not held in joint tenancy or designated "transfer on death", then probate will be necessary to have it put in your husband's name. The sooner he gets started the better. The City may accept his permission once he is appointed... 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

You did what was right to move your family out of a hazardous situation. But you could have better protected yourselves legally.
