Can I be arrested for a False accusation?

Kristen Prata Browde
Answered by attorney Kristen Prata Browde (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Browde Law, P.C.
Yes, they can arrest you. No you can not refuse to go with them. If it happens, get an attorney and DO NOT discuss the issue with the police without that attorney being present.

Divorce settlement says Buiding not property ,Does this matter before I sign ?

Answered by attorney Lori Nevias
Divorce lawyer at Lori Nevias, Attorney at Law
It's impossible to answer without knowing whether the property was acquired before or after the marriage, in whose name is the title to the property, and who paid for it. It would be a bad idea to sign any divorce agreement without having a lawyer review it first.

What shall we do? my boyfrend and I both not divorced yet , but we living together almost 4 years and now we have a child

Answered by attorney Alfred Joseph Polizzotto
Divorce lawyer at Polizzotto & Polizzotto, LLC
New York does not allow the creation of a "common law" marriage, a relationship in which a couple lives together but have not participated in a lawful ceremony. Unlike some other states, in New York a couple cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time. You do not need legal action to end such a relationship, if it was created in New York. However, New York does recognize as valid, common law marriages created in other states if the legal requirements of those states have been met. As a result, legal action is needed to dissolve legal "common law" marriages performed in other states and foreign countries in compliance with their licensing and ceremonial regulations. The courts are available for determining the rights of parties now living in New York.  As long as a couple lives together as husband and wife, the question of validity of their marriage is unlikely to arise. However, for purposes of inheritance or the benefits of pension plans or social security, a valid marriage is required.   - Alfred Polizzotto, III
