QUESTIONS

  • I just filed for divorce and filed the proof of service at the central courthouse. My husband and I decided that we will provide the consent decree for divorce, but I was curious about the portion that directs us to pay a response fee. How and when do we pay that? Does he need to submit a response if we are going to do the consent decree for divorce?
  • What if child support is not being paid? What action or recourse do I have?
  • I had moved out of my house a year ago from my husband. I did not have the money to file for divorce until last week. As of the first of the year 2013 I have had a boyfriend and now my soon to be x is threatening me with adultery. Is this adultery if we have been separated for over a year?
  • my mother died and left me her home and she left owing money am I responsible to pay her debts?
  • If my 81-year-old husband predeceases me without a will, how is his estate settled? We have no children together, but he has three grown daughters.

  • My dad and my uncle owned my Grandparents old property my dad passed away suddenly. Now we need to sale the property, how do we get the title into just my Uncles name? The title is 1/2 1/2 by name. We are trying to avoid Probate due to the cost and little value the property holds.
