I'd wait until you know there's a court date set, and what you have to address in court, before worrying about it. It's impossible to say what, if anything, you might need to prepare for at this point.

Nope. Politically, the home might be motivated to come to some sort of settlement. Legally, they are under not under any obligation to buy your house because you don't want to live there. You could possibly sue for the assailant for assault or the home for some type of negligence. Do you...

Agreed. Your ex is the person bound by the agreement, not the credit card company. They're entitled to come after you as the card-holder. You are entitled to try to recover from your wife for breaching the agreement.

Can they threaten legal action? Sure, it's a free country. Can they make a mistake? Sure, everybody's human. Can they expect to be paid? Ahh, there's the rub. I'd write the lawyer back and tell him you will not pay unless/until you see evidence of this alleged accounting error and a...

I assume your jurisdiction is Texas? The key is not just the number of times she calls but the reason why she calls. If her intent is simply to see what you're up to, etc., it's not criminal harassment. In Texas (and many places) criminal harassment requires intent to harass, annoy, alarm...

That's not an either/or situation. It IS right, and they ARE trying to force you to pay. The court's order that the person who sent you to the ER (call him/her X) must pay your bill is binding on X. It has nothing to do with the hospital. They performed a service for you, and they are...

If you have a binding contract, which is by no means certain, it is silent on a term. A court might imply a term like "a reasonable time" in which to pay. What that means is anybody's guess. What did the two of you intend? Maybe something like 30 days from the date of breach. Maybe...

Are you sure you have a court date? Have you been served papers yet? If so, what do they say? Sounds to me like she is blowing smoke.

It is not too late. Limitations periods refer to when you start the action, not when your case is actually heard in court. It's probably a good start. Whether you should name anyone else depends on the facts.

I don't know what you mean by "legal minds" (possibly "lawyers"?) but you're already getting the only advice there is to give. Whether a lender will want to give them another mortgage two years after they default on this one isn't a legal issue. It's a credit risk issue.

Details please. How do you intend to prove it?

Well, this would become a battle about who owns the timeshare - with the twist being that neither of you WANTS to get stuck with it. One one hand, the deed is not in your name. On the other, presumably the woman who inherited it has a signed agreement for sale showing you as the purchaser...

I don't know what "the worst" is - I guess they could hire some muscle to break your legs or something. If you want to know what might reasonably happen, your creditors could sue you and get a judgment against you. They could then garnish any assets you have in the US and try to collect...

Doing it is easy. Form an LLC, and sell the property to the LLC. The mortgage company will almost certainly require you to pay the loan. Selling invariably triggers repayment. Lenders are not "supportive" of transferring properties to anyone: the property is their security for the loan. If...

That's only a problem is you really really want to uphold the settlement. You shouldn't be worried about that anyways. In small claims cases, parties almost always bear their own legal costs. The only way you could possibly be liable for the other party's costs is if the agrement provided...

It's might be illegal to try to do that. I'm not sure what the law is in Iowa, but it may be illegal for you to make payment under the contract conditional on him fulfilling some requirement that is NOT in the contract. If it's not illegal, the question is whether it will be binding on him. I...

No. If he left something that he no longer owns, the gift fails.

What do you mean by "be nice"? Taking off my legal hat and putting on my Ann Landers wig... If he's just being nice, that's great. People should be nice. If he's trying to reconcile, tell him "no thanks". Unless you really want to reconcile. If he's being nice in hope of getting the ring...

Depends on how material that misrepresentation was to your decision to enter into a contract with them. Even if it was fundamental, that might not "void" your contract - you might be entitled to some other remedy (like damages). What is it you would like to do?

Yes. The old adage is, if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.
