Legal Answers
16 Questions Answered
- Q. Do grandparents have a legal right to keep their grandchild from moving out of state.
- A: I have litigated this issue years ago and the answer is still the same the grandparents don't have standing. Relocation issues only involve the parents
- Q. What are the Precedents of a Will
- A: Was the house purchased by her before she married and whose name is on it? Did she change the title?
- Q. If my x husband is not making equitable distribution payments to me what can I do ? Can he be put in jail?
- A: Since the payments are not alimony or child support and classified as equitable distribution the enforcement doesn't include possible jail time. It's a breach of contract action per your Marital Settlement Agreement which may include attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party. He has the option of filing for bankruptcy to wipe out the remaining payments or reduce the amount of if he qualifies for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 (Wage Warner plan).
