How long does a divorce take to be finalized?

ocdivorcelawyer — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 15:57:48 +0000

OK we didn’t get a lawyer because we are filing a joint petition, non-contested dissolution. His aunt, who works for the prosecuting attorney, is helping us with all the paperwork. We have been separated for 13 months now. We finally got all the paperwork finalized and now need to file it. Any ideas how long it might take to be finalized? We live in MO. We have no children; it should be a very simple and easy divorce.

Legal woes involving motgage, co ownership, probate and family law. Any true advice as to how to deal? ?

ocdivorcelawyer — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 17:07:16 +0000

I inharited a 450,000 dollar home with my sister. She had bad credit so we quick claimed her portion to me so I could borrow some equity and pay the steep taxes and do some renovations and blah blah blah
I regretfully doctored the paperwork to embelish my work history and bank statements so I would get appoved for the loan. This was so bad,i know but I was scared about the state taking the house due to all the back taxes and fees so I acted out of fear and ignorance.

Fast forward 1 1/2 years…
My sister has gone NUTS!!!! she wont work, she wont take care of the house, she is terribly depressed and drinks a lot, she does not help me repay pay the mortgage, she kicked me out then my other sister a week later. I am left living with a friend with my baby while I pay the total mortgage on my own. In addition to all that, my sister is demanding I give her MORE money since she spent up the 60,000 I gave her already.

she calls me at all hours, demanding money, threatening my life, threatening to burn down the house and all in it!

Worst of all she said she will expose my fraud to the bank and have them foreclose on me. can this be done? I pay the mortgage, will they take my home and all the equity left in it?
Can I evict her? can I "divorce" her in court? Will I ever have peace again? Do I need a lawyer? I know she has contacted one (the fool called me thinking I was my sister IDIOT!)

Remember I do own the house…well with the bank too. What should I do?

I already had my divorce hearing, and the judge signed off on everything, but i forgot to ask if they were mailing me the paperwork. Are they going to mail a divorce certificate? And if so, about how many weeks will it take?

Any lawyers, pre-law?Family Law/child custody issue.. Please read…help,expert advice only,please help me..?

ocdivorcelawyer — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:52:30 +0000

When my son was an infant,there was a dna test done because his father didnt sign papers claiming paternity. We had to go to the child support office in the courthouse where a woman told us that we had to do custody 50/50,and that we had to make up a schedule or the courts would do it for us. That was really all that was said…..? I don’t remember signing anything agreeing to anything or saying i would do anything…and if i did i dont have any paperwork stating so. We never went in front of a judge, no paperwork was signed (if any is usually done). What makes 50/50 custody legal? There was nothing said about joint physical custody,joint legal custody and so on…..?What I’ve said is actually ALL that was said/done about it, is this something set in stone..legal? My sons father is mad at me for deciding to collect child support for the first time in 4 years now saying i cant take him to texas in feb. can i just take him?When he has no proof that he is even supposed to be with him?help

What does a divorce lawyer’s retainer cover &if it is not all used,do i get back any difference?

ocdivorcelawyer — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:04:14 +0000

She says that the amount (00) covers filing (5) the papers and any hours billed after the retainer are at 5/hr. I have prepared most ofthe paperwork myself and there (as it stands) are no conflicts. She said it all depends on the lefwork that has to be done. Does this seem good?

I Need a Family Law Lawyer In the Seattle Area?

ocdivorcelawyer — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 05:17:40 +0000

Wow, ok, so my case is easy, but my finances are low. I need some one to ensure that all my court documents are correct, and I am not missing anything.

My Case: Well my child support is being modified by the state. I have 1 child that I am paying for, which is the child in question. My support is going up about 300 extra dollars a month, and I can’t afford that. I have 2 other children that I support, from my current marriage. My wife just got off bed rest, so I am the only one with the income. I seen a lawyer today, and she ran some numbers, and it looks like it would be about 240 a month. I can manage that. I just can’t afford her services, and there is so much paperwork, I don’t know what to do.

Is there anyone in my area that can help with paperwork. I can pay by the hour, but I can’t afford 00 up front. I don’t need to be represented in court. I just want to make sure everything is filled out correctly, and nothing is left out. I don’t want my proposal to be thrown out because of one little mistake.

One more thing, I want to modify the custody. There is no paranting plan, and my son’s mother has custody. I am sure she will agree to split custody and we can work out a parating plan. So there will be not ugly battle in court. Again, I just need to ensure that all paperwork is included, and I need to be led in the right direction.

Any help is possible. I just can’t afford big up front cost, but I can pay, and work out a payment plan. I am sure this is easy work for somone who knows what they are doing.

Does anyone know a free or cheap divorce lawyer in the Central Florida area?

ocdivorcelawyer — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 11:48:37 +0000

I am getting a divorce and my husband is trying to take advantage of me and I don’t have money for a good lawyer. I talked to legal aid and they only file for paperwork and don’t go to trial. I really need help. If anyone knows any lawyers in the Central Florida area that are cheap or are willing to take on pro bono cases, I would greatly appreciate it!!

orange county,Ca private investigators?

ocdivorcelawyer — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:23:37 +0000

My fiancee is currently going through a divorce and child custody. The attorney will have the paperwork ready by next month our only problem is that we have no address. She moved because she found out that we had it. We have some info on her and so I really have Three questions. The first would be would they be able to find her? can they serve her with the divorce papers and about how much would this cost. If anyone has been through a situation like this or is a PI any info would be helpful. We would go and find her ourselves the problem is that she is in orange county, Ca and we are in Florida.
For the first person to answer this question it is my business. We are a couple and he has asked for my help. Secondly, his wife cheated on him first then ran off and refuses to sign the divorce papers even though she’s with another dude. Thirdly he hasn’t seen his daughter in almost a year!! i want to help him find her so he can see his child again. How rude!

ocdivorcelawyer — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:46:56 +0000

Ok this is for a friend but not me.

She is attempting to file for divorce but the paperwork is to confusing and she also cannot find her now ex. She cant afford to pay for her legal services her self, and she has also attempted to go to the local self help center at our court house but they dont do much else then give her the paperwork and tell her to refill it out. What other resources does she have? She is located in LA county.
