QUESTIONS

  • I got divorced and in the decree it did not grant me permission to change my name. I took the decree to the Soc Sec office and the still processed it. I have a new Soc card and drivers license with my maiden name. But keep having trouble as it was never officially changed in the courts. Do I have to file for a name change and pay the fee or is there a way to add it into the decree so I can officially go back to my maiden name?
  • I have full physical custody and shared legal custody. years ago we agreed he would get the tax write-off for our child 2 yrs in a row, I one. This is no longer fair as he has her for less than 100 days/yr and she's a teenager w a lot more expenses. He refuses to change to every other year. What recourse do I have?
  • I understand that when a divorce occurs, everything accumulated is community property. However, is a disability retirement subject to joint disbursement. My online research gives me conflicting answers. How do the courts interpret this?
  • i am in a 12 month lease, with 5 months left on said lease. today my landlord came to my door with a 30 day notice of rent increase, its been increased 45 dollars. i checked my lease there is nothing in it saying they can raise rent at any time during the lease agreement, my question is, can they do that? do i have to pay the increase or just what my lease says my rent is.?
  • I have joint legal custody and we have parenting time my child mother is continuously leaving my daughter home by herself while shes at work I keep asking if i can keep my daughter so she's not home alone and her mother keep denying me. Is there anything I can do so my child is not left home alone.
  • I have a parenting plan that was agreed upon about six months ago. I was wanting to change the agreement. How do I go about changing the plan?
  • A tree in the adjoining lot was blown over by high winds and fell across my rv and damaged it to the point it is uninhabitable. Is the owner of park responsible for damages??
  • We just got married 6 mo ago& are ready to split, due to having two homes both upsidedown. We can not afford the home that is in his name only. We live in the the one that is in my name only. Will foreclosure on his home hurt me since we are now married? Would a legal seperation help the situation for him/us? His home is an 80/20 ARM loan.
  • where do i get the divorce papers? once i have filed for divorce how long does the process take?
  • I was married at the time my two children were born, my ex husband left the state and haves nothing to do with my kids and I want to know how I can take his name off of the birth certificate and change my kids last name to my maiden name? Thank you
