I had this kind of situation happen to me a couple years back. My husband (now ex) and I traded his firebird in for a used montero. 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...

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 had a baby with her boyfriend 5 years ago. Their relationship didn't work out, so now she's married and has another son by her husband. Her husband is a commercial carpenter and just recently, because of the economy and current market, he was laid off. He's also a citizen of Canada and...

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...

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.

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...

Illinois Divorce in Oct 2006: i got my car (paid off), he got his, but my name was on loan for credit reasons. divorce agreement said he was to get my name off car loan w/in 1 year. he couldn't because he's unemployed but said that he was getting a disability settlement and would pay it off...

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...

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. Everything was signed by all necessary parties. At the time of the divorce we had 2 vehicles. I was the only signer...
