- Q. What happens in WA state when an unfiled summons, declaration and complaint are served without the attachments?
- A: In Washington State, the initial served pleadings generally are not required to be filed or to include attachments. You should consult with an attorney if you have been served as there are important deadlines you should be aware of in order to prevent a default.
- Q. I need advice on starting negotiations for my pain and suffering settlement because of a car accident.
- A: Good morning. My answer will be general in nature. The demand amount would typically depend on the specific facts surrounding your case. It appears you , your husband and your child may all have claims. Since the child is a minor, there may be additional consideration in making the demand. Since injuries may still be assessed, it may not be the best time to prepare a demand for settlement. I would recommend that you communicate with a personal injury attorney so they can assist you in maximizing your claim and ensuring the your current and future medicals may be paid, hence, possibly waiting for settlement and demands.
- Q. Can I go bankrupt post divorce to avoid paying a property settlement while still keeping my home? Chapter 13?
- A: Good morning. My answer is general in nature and if you would like a specific answer based on your facts, feel free to contact my office or another bankruptcy practitioner. A general answer is no, you will likely not be able to discharge the divorce settlement in a bankruptcy, however, there may be exceptions and you should be able to file a chapter 13 to create a feasible payment plan over an extended term possibly paying the settlement in full over the plan itself.
