If a Canadian couple who reside and work in the US decide to divorce, are they subject to Canadian or American divorce laws? They have no green card, only a work visa, and there are children involved. The preference is to both remain in the US, but one spouse is considering returning to Canada with their children.
Can the spouse return with the kids?
I’m on the negative side. Can someone help me as to what i should say? And also can someone show me some statistics regarding this subject? This is for a law class in high school.
My mom left my dad for her third affair 5 months ago. My dad just wants the divorce to be over with so he can move on with his life. Apparently, my mom was told by her lawyer that she was entitled to half regardless of anything she did or would do. So, my mom threatened to go after my dad’s retirement that he’s been building for 30 years if he didn’t give her the house, choice of cars, and pay off her credit cards (30K+). My dad finds out today that he can’t take the 30K out of his 401K because she put a new truck against it that she now drives and he has to pay for. My dad’s lawyer is proving to be quite lazy and useless and replies to everything with "there’s nothing you can do" or " she’s got you good" etc. I refuse to believe that. However, my dad feels hopeless and discouraged now. He had to borrow 40K to pay off my mothers bills and wasn’t even left w/ any collateral. He would have done this initially, but his lawyer said he couldn’t. Now he says he can, but she will still get everything (useless!).
Can anyone please offer me some legal help or advice. Thanks.
Hi! I was wondering if my lawyer who I have used for several years for several different cases can represent my sister in law in her divorce custody case against my brother? Isn’t it some sort of conflict of interest or not? It kind of makes me mad because I need my lawyer now for another case and I am so upset because he is fighting against my brother. I don’t even know if he realizes what the situation is because we all had the same last name? I appreciate your comments. Thank you in advance.
My aunt was recently surved with divorce papers, but befor her husband informed her, he had a family member remove their kids from the home and took them to another city, this cant be legal, I need some advice to give her, legal, or course.
Located in Arizona.
My parents divorced around 16 years ago and at the time of the divorce the divorce decree states that the house is to be divided at the time of my younger sibling’s high school graduation (1 year from now). What is to be split is the appreciation of the house between the divorce date until the graduation. Currently, one of my parents is trying to push for this split, which would ultimately lead to my other parent losing the house. I would like to have a consultation with a lawyer/attorney, but I am really not sure where to begin. Would it be better to go through the county or find an attorney who specializes in this area (and if so, what type of attorney or law firm)? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I’m 15, I live in Kansas, and my parents are divorced. I’m starting to gain a social life, and i want to make my own decisions about whos house im at on certain days to do things with my friends. My mother claims that if i want to be at a certain parents house, its my own discretion. Yet my father claims that untill I’m 18, I have no right to choose whose house im at when i want. Which of my parents is correct, or if neither is, what is the law, and what are its restrictions.
I am having a problem with my 12 year old daughter who is being emotionally and physically abused by my ex-wife new husband. I tried to get a change in custody but can’t afford an atty and since its out of state neither Arizona nor California’s legal aid offices will help me.
My Sister in law had an 7 month affair that was exposed to everyone who known these people.
The divorce was my bother (1/2) who has CHALLENGED the NOFAULT RULE in Ca., stating the affair was the primary cause of divorce with evidance and asked the JUDGE for a CAUSE OF ACTION with detail so as to sue his wife for custody, and majority potion of the community property!
HE GOT IT 90% of the community property as well as physical custody of the children because he proved that his wife started to CO- habituate with individual who she was having the AFFAIR WITH and detrimential to kids well being.
Now let me say this I think the whole think STINKS to high HEAVEN, both party’s need to grow up.
That said I can’t fathom how this woman had the affair, how the LAWS of NO FAULT could be side stepped like this.
I practice Financial Meadion and contract negotions so I’m out of element on subject .
HAS ANYONE HERE SEEN THIS KIND OF CHALLENGING NO FAULT TO DIVORCE LAWS LIKE THIS?
I went through mediation. After 20 yrs of marriage. I was granted 1/4 of the 401K. It has been almost a year and I still have not received it. I have contacted my lawyer on several occations. Only once have I ever come face to face with my lawyer after I hired him. Before I hired him he seemed like the best guy for the job. After everything was said and done I was mistaken. He was awful and only allowed me to talk to his secretary and answered few of my e-mails.
Now I have received a letter from him stating that his job was done after I was granted the divorce.Since my ex is in contempt of court he would have to file again and if I wanted him to do that I could hire him for an additional 50.00.
My ex made really good money. I make about 18,000 a year and am due to receive 0 a month in alimony which is taking a year to receive per agreement from my lawyer. He said it was the best deal for me to receive even though my ex makes 3 times that amount of money and cheated on me during our 20 yr marriage. Our only child is considered an adult by law even though I still take care of her.
The only person I had to depend on to work for me was my lawyer and I know I was duped but I felt stupid when I told him I felt I was being treated unfairly and he said I should take the deal.
Is it true that he has no more responsibility to make sure I receive the 401K?
P.S. oh and my ex only had to pay 00. of my lawyer fees in 0 increments starting one year after the divorce was final. I had to pay 00. He also received all four vehicles including taking his own daughters car. My lawyer said there was nothing I could do about it because the judge wouldn’t make him leave it for her to pay off since it was in his name eventhough she paid for the down payment and paid all the car payments for over a year.
just in case you are wondering, I paid my own car payment for two years and never missed a payment…That was one of the cars he got too. Again my lawyer said there was nothing I could do.
