QUESTIONS

  • When we got married, we both hyphenated our last names to form one. Now, we are frustrated with having the hyphenated name and would like to switch--my husband back to just his last name and myself to having my last name as my second middle name and his as my last. How do we go about this?
  • My ex and I are not a couple. But we are raising our children together. Can I still get child support from him if he is never there to help raise our kids.
  • I HAVE PRIMARY CUSTODY OF MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. MY EX WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN DIVORCED FOR 21/2 YEARS NOW AND SHE HAS NEVER PAID CHILD SUPPORT. SHE HASNT WORKED SO I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO GARNISH HER. NOW SHE IS GETTING A JOB AND WANTS TO AVOID THE GARNISHMENT BY SIGNING OVER HER RIGHTS. CAN SHE GET AWAY WITH THIS? IS THERE A LOOP HOLE BECAUSE SHE IS LEGALLY DIAGNOSED WITH BIPOLAR MANIA?
  • I have a 21 yr old handicapped son whom my current husband would like to adopt, is this possible considering his age even though he is disabled?
  • Served 5 day notice and tenant shows no signs of moving. What can I do next? Can I have the police department get them out?
  • My wife's neice has died. She has a 4 year old daughter that is staying with her great grandma. The father, the grandma and other family members are not eligible for custody. We are the only family capable of providing a bright future for the young girl. Do we have a chance at custody? Or should we just let the events take place.
  • How do I get my ATLAS number, I already have one, just don't know what it is?
  • I have recently filed for child support for my two kids, my oldest is two years old and my youngest is 2 months. I filed a restraining order almost a year ago. Now that I have filed for child support, will the other parent get any rights to be around my kids, even though I have a restraining order still in place since last year?
  • I was divorced in 1987. My former spouse has been living with the same person in SC since before the divorce. My former spouse still recieves 30% of my pension. SC is a common law state. Do I have any recourse in proving she is living in a martial state and stopping this benefit?
  • I requested 2 services for repairs going on 5 days now and the landlord has yet to complete them. Texting back and forth and on 3 occasions, the current one tonight, Maintenance Man was suppose to arrive to complete one of the repairs but never showed up.
