- Q. For temporary orders shouldn't all community assets be exhausted first before separate property is used to pay bills?
- A: Probably not, unless it was specifically stated in the order. It also depends on what you are considering to be your separate property at this point. It would be a good Idea to consult your attorney about this, since you may be confused. If you don't have an attorney, it sounds like now would be a good time to get one since there is some confusion that is too involved to clean up on an open forum like this one. Many, including myself, will give a free consultation to discuss your issues. Good luck.
- Q. How long does the court give you to complete required actions?
- A: Your divorce will be final when the decree is signed by the two of you and a judge. If that is what happened on 3/2/12, then you have been divorced for a while now. If she has not done one of the terms of the Decree, then you can file a motion to enforce on her to get her to behave. You should probably call a couple of attorneys for a consultation. Most, myself included, will give you a free consultation so you can figure out where you stand. Good luck.
- Q. How do I get my rights to my son that lives with his dad? We never married and we have A little girl too, that lives with me...
- A: In order to get rights to your children, you will need to file a suit affecting the parent child relationship asking for custody. Contact a couple of family law attorneys in your area to find out what you need to do specifically in your case. Good luck.
