For an ncontested divorce, what happens if I do not file a pettition response?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Clayton Lockhart (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Lockhart Law Firm
This appears to be a "no fault" divorce rather than an "uncontested" divorce.? There is a difference in the two.? Generally speaking, judges would rather have the parties come to agreements on everything, rather than the judge have to make a decision on any issues.? It appears as though the two of you have worked out all of your issues and I would be quite surprised if the judge made any changes to your agreement.? My guess is that the judge is probably going to sign an agreed order granting the divorce and making the agreements that the parties have already reached be a part of the order.

How to deal with lenders coming after me for mortgage payments of the house I do not own anymore without declaring bankruptcy? Which lawyer to see?

Diana L. Anderson
Answered by attorney Diana L. Anderson
Divorce lawyer at Diana L. Anderson
Its sounds like it might be a combination of enforcing the matrimonial order and possible bankruptcy.  If you have a judgement of divorce that required your husband to continue to make the mortgage payments, and he did not do that, then you can apply to the court for an enforcement of that order.  The enforcement may be more like a judgment or finding by the court that you are not responsible for the mortgage, that your name should be off of the mortgage, and see if you can use that when you sell the house to make him solely responsible for the deficiency in the mortgage.  do you have the property up for sale?  You should do so as soon as possible, the market is starting to come back a bit and you might be able to get a sale.  If not, consider renting so that at least you can get some income to cover the mortgage payments until this is straightened out.

Unemployment and temporary spousal support

Richard Scott Diamond
Answered by attorney Richard Scott Diamond (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Diamond & Diamond, P.A.
 There are several issues presented by your question.      1. If you file an application for temporary modification of your support setting, when will the family part judge hear the application? The answer depends on which county the application is being made in since some counties are up and running and others are still having difficulty getting staff in to handle the volume of matters.   2. Under the statute governing modification of support claims based on "change in circumstance" settings, your former husband would be prohibited from filing that application  for 90 days from his termination -  so, whether the court may impose the same 90 day hold on your support modification application for 90 days from your termination of employment.  3. Filing an application for modification of support is not simple and too many people make mistakes when they file it and as a result, the court denies the application and then it may be too late to try and correct it by hiring a lawyer to refile the same or a similar  application. There are specific procedural requirements to the filing of that application and if they are not done right, the court can easily deny the application, placing you in a worse setting.  4. It may make sense for you to reach out to your former husband and ask him if you and he can work out a temporary arrangement to help you get through this setting without the need of an application to the court. He may want to avoid the courts intervention as well and may be willing to work out some temporary modification so as to avoid the court making the decision. If not, you may ask him to agree to the use of a family law attorney as a mediator to assist you and him in trying to find an interim solution, with both of you paying the lawyer to handle the issue and if an agreement is reached through his assistance, he can then prepare a consent order for modification. There are a lot of family law attorneys currently working with families today handling this exact issue through videoconferencing or by telephone.
