I signed papers not knowing i would have to pay child support & he gets custody. what should i do

Answered by attorney Michael Todd Hampton (Unclaimed Profile)

This depends on a few factors. Generally speaking, a person is presumed to understand and read what they signed, so it may be difficult if the papers you signed clearly state you are to pay child support. On the other hand, if there is fraud, or some sort of duress or genuine misunderstanding, you may be able to undo the agreement. A lot depends on the timing as well, so don't wait too long if you want to contest it. You should definitely contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

If my wife filed a divorce in New Jersey do I have to have a attorney that lives in New Jersey and I live in Georgia?

Answered by attorney Dana A. Azar (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Dana A. Azar
The answer depends on where you were "domiciled" at the time she filed. Did you consider New Jersey your home? At the time of filing, did you consider Georgia your home? How long had you lived in Georgia? Assuming that you had lived in Georgia at the time she filed and you considered Georgia your home, then you MAY HAVE an argument that she must file in Georgia. You need to ask a New Jersey attorney whether there is any law in New Jersey which allows New Jersey to handle a divorce if you have moved from New jersey and do not intend for New Jersey to be your home. The answer to the military question depends on whether New Jersey law or Georgia law applies and that depends on whether she should have filed in New Jersey or Georgia. In Georgia, she could be entitled to part of your pension, but the method of payout is more favorable to you than if your pension was with a corporation.

Who owns a home if the ex wife died before refinancing?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey Wittenbrink
Divorce lawyer at Wittenbrink Law Firm
A "quit claim" deed is not a document normally used in a Louisiana community property settlement. However, depending on the wording of the document and the "contingency," the deed may have what is known as a resolutory condition. Your questioner may have a claim in the woman's succession or to "bust the trust" if the resolutory condition-refinancing never occurred.
