One asthma attack is just not going to meet the requirements for FMLA. What kind of letter is writing? What does she hope to gain?

I have a feeling that there is a difference between reality and what Mom is being told.

It hasn't been a week yet, correct? The truth is there's actually no standard - in some states a felon can be in there for as many as 16 months. There is a bit of helpful information here: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/the-right-speedy-trial.html . There's also this...

Assuming he's no longer a minor, you can indeed evict him. You'll start with the standard "3 day notice", then you'll have to go ahead with the eviction. You can read here: http://texaslawhelp.org/issues/housing/eviction Good luck - you're in a horrible situation. Having said that...

Alrighty then! Good news for you! He cannot reopen the divorce in order to request alimony. He cannot appeal the order itself. You both AGREED to no alimony. If he wanted to reserve the alimony part of your divorce, he should have done something at the time. He didn't. Game over.

One other thing. The court cannot and will not award a sum that would make you basically bankruptcy. And I have a question. Is he paying child support? When he was earning, was there a large difference in incomes? If yes, on whose side?

Very generally, that would be a great big fat "Nope". - in fact, I'm comfortable saying there's a 99.9 change he will not be successful. The divorce is over - if he didn't request spousal support then, he's not going to get it now. But, I do want to check NM's statutes too.

Fine. I'll add what I wrote earlier. In a simple no-asset Ch.7, generally the debt will be considered discharged. That's only part of the equation though - if the Trustee decides that you deliberately omitted the debt, the creditor will usually be allowed to collect. That's the...

Usually in a simple no-asset Ch.7, an unlisted "I forgot" debt is included in the discharge. But that's only part of the equation. Even with the above circumstance, if the trustee finds that you deliberately omitted the debt it's possible that the creditor will be allowed to collect...

No, seriously - the court will not approve of that order. Now if Dad chooses not to file against Mom, that's fine. But - again - he cannot waive future child support (and for good reason)

I think you're going to end up gravely disappointed, and this is just one reason you need to see an attorney. What you're suggesting makes a bit of sense, yes, but Washington state is a bit of a wild-card when it comes to property - in particular when it comes to comingling and when it is...

No, the court is not going to agree to that. A parent cannot legally waive future support - absolutely not.

Be thankful you're not in Fargo. Now, I've been in the same insurance situation (when I did live in Fargo, oddly enough - and I now live in WA...). There are generally two issues. Was it a failure to provide, or was it actually no insurance? If it's the first, it's an easy fix. If...

Government loans are virtually impossible to get discharged in bankruptcy.

It's legal because they don't have to give you a reason to fire you. You can start reading here: http://lni.wa.gov/WorkplaceRights/Wages/PayReq/PersonnelRec/default.asp

While advising that you should see an attorney is excellent guidance, I'd like to go a little further. The elephant in the room is jurisdiction. If Dad filed in CT, it will be a moot point unless Mom has been gone for an extended period. But if he's filed in MI, it's going to be the...

Dad needs to file NOW to establish child support, and once he's got the order, he needs to go here https://www.misdu.com/secure/ Why am I getting the distinct feeling that OP is Dad's new spouse? ;)

Then you know the right thing to do. Anything could happen between and then - take the time now to enjoy your pregnancy and remain as stress free as you possibly can. I came down hard on you, and I know that. But you needed the correct legal info for our lovely State and I...

They can override his wishes, but unless the child is born of rape or something equally heinous, Dad will be taking the baby home with him if he so chooses. Although on this thread I'm almost cautious of raising that issue.

Oh yes, yes it can. This is Washington state. Not Texas. Not without Dad's notification, she can't. And given her posts, his actual consent will also be required. The times when adoption was the mother's decision have long since passed. Oh, but Daddy dearest absolutely does...
