My son has been put in theraraputic foster care and my parents have custody, there is a visitation schedule but I can't see him

From the looks of it, you have a tremendously complex child custody case. In my opinion, it would be next to impossible for any attorney to give you any meaningful guidance on this, or any other, website. Child custody cases, especially those with foster parents and child protective services, can be very nuanced. You really should go talk with a child custody attorney as soon as possible.

Do I have a personal injury case?

I agree that you should "clam up" - tend to and document your injuries - and get yourself in to see a personal injury lawyer asap. Can't really judge the strength of your case without more detail. But it sounds like it is worth evaluating properly. Good luck!

MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING THRU A DIVORCE THE HOUSE IS IN BOTH OUR NAMES BUT THE MOTHER INLAW GAVE US 60,000 WHO GETS THE HOUSE

For you, the devil will be in the details. You really need to engage the services of an experienced family law attorney. Some of the information which the attorney will likely want to know is: 1) When was the house purchased in relation to the dates of marriage and separation? 2) Was there any sort of formal paperwork associated with the gift or loan? 3) How exactly is the property titled (on the Deed, not the Deed of Trust)? 4) Is there any notation of mother-in-law's...

I have been separated from my husband for 9yrs and we have a child he denies.What can I do?

This may or may not be the answer for which you were looking. But, you really need to talk with a competent family law attorney. You likely have numerous options. But, which is right for you will be a very fact specific and personal decision. It seems like you are eligible for an Absolute Divorce under North Carolina law. Also, you may want to talk to the attorney about terminating parental rights (TPR) or possibly going after retroactive child support. Obviously, there may be other...

ONCE SEPERATION PAPERS ARE FILED CAN MY HUSBAND SUE FOR CHANGES?

It is unclear from your question what sort of documents were actually signed. If the two of you are divorced and neither of you have filed for spousal support or equitable distribution (or settled them by written agreement), then he's probably not going to be able to raise those claims later. You should talk to a family law attorney as soon as possible so they can review what you have signed and tell you where things stand.

Divorce by default in cumberland county nc

In North Carolina, the ways in which uncontested divorces are handled can vary pretty widely from county to county. Your best bet is probably just to call the clerk's office directly and let them know what is going on. Most clerk's of court (and assistants and deputies) are very happy to help if you are respectful and polite. Generally speaking, however, assuming everything is filed properly and there are no problems, it should be within a few weeks of the thirty days passing. Depending on...

Military divorce

The prior posters have given excellent direction. The only thing I might add is that you may want to make a couple calls to his immediate superiors to calmly and clearly express your concerns. I have seen that strategy bring quick relief in some instances. Beyond that, it is really difficult to work through the nuances of your case in this forum. You definitely should talk with a lawyer as soon as possible.

My verbally abusive, bipolar husband of 16yrs refuses to take his meds,wants to divorce me and not send enough for basic needs.

Based on the information provided, it sounds like you would have several compelling claims against your husband. Indeed, if you secure counsel and get legal proceedings started, hopefully you will be able to get funds flowing to you and your child quickly. The important thing now is for you to act quickly and to retain a good family law attorney.

We filed without an attorney for divorce. Will I still be able to get half of husband's pension since I was married for 25 yrs.

You need to talk to an experience family law attorney immediately. Take copies of all relevant documentation with you, including anything you have filed with the Court and anything you have received from the Court.

Alienation of Affections Suit

There are a number of strategies that might be available to you, both pre-suit and in-suit. In my opinion, heart balm cases (alienation of affection and criminal conversation) are not easy from a Plaintiff's perspective. I wouldn't assume that you lose on the merits of the case. These are highly technical claims that the Plaintiff must prove in Court. You may well be able to avoid liability altogether (or effectively altogether). You need to talk to a lawyer who handles these sorts of...
