We walked out of the dealership with a signed contract and what we thought was a decent car payment considering our credit. About 2 weeks later they called and said...

    My sister wants to take her son to Canada, what are her chances if dad fights it?

    Thank you both for your input. I will let her know what you've said. I think I will also contact the Illinois Bar Association and see if it would be possible to find a lawyer to represent her either pro bono or at a discounted fee that maybe I can afford to cover for her. Thanks again, I really...

    My sister wants to take her son to Canada, what are her chances if dad fights it?

    Refusal to sign the mortgage documents

    check the court documents. i would think that there should be something noted from the hearing that she agreed to sign and that the court agreed to it and gave her 8 weeks. not signing should put her in contempt. contact the circuit clerk at the court you went to and/or a lawyer and find out how...

    Do I get to keep the home we bought?

    That's what i had to do, but I'm in Illinois. I wouldn't trust your husband for legal advice in the divorce, though, talk to a lawyer. If you decide that the home is to be sold, I wouldn't do it until the judge makes his ruling. when my mom and dad got divorced, since all of us kids were already...

    Thank you for your suggestion. I just spoke to my boyfriend more about this, to let him know what you said. First I should say that I was incorrect in the amount; it was 15, not 50, so I apologize for that error. I will speak more with Grandma about this too, since she has more knowledge of the...

    Criminal Trials, Hearings Federal Representation possible?

    This is about my boyfriend's uncle and I'm just looking to give them places to turn. The uncle is not a good person, first off, but the family believes he is in prison for a crime he did not commit and that he received faulty representation by his lawyer and that the judge had already decreed...

    Question about car loan and divorce agreement

    My divorce was finalized Oct 30, 2006. Neither my husband nor I could afford a lawyer so I paid for a Legal Secretary to draw up all the divorce paperwork as well as court costs.
