My wife and I are Bahamian citizens with two children, I am visiting the US and would like to get a quick divorce. Is it possibl

As mentioned previously, you need to be a resident in the State of Florida for 6 months in order to file here. Additionally, as a Bahamian citizen, you may be required to show some proof of your Florida residence for the last 6 months. This may be shown with affidavits of family members, utility bills, etc. If you want to file in Nevada, you will need to show residency in Nevada for a certain period of time. You will need to speak with someone experienced in Nevada to tell you the residency...

I have a mobile home and the land its on and I want to know under what law i could use to file exempt for chapter 7

In some states (I know Florida does), you can look up your property on your property appraiser's website/tax collector website to find the fair market value of your property. Because it is a mobile home, you may be dealing with a vehicle problem and a land problem. Do you own the land that the mobile home is on? If you do, then you own real estate, which needs to be listed on schedule A, and a vehicle which needs to be included on Schedule B. Both will need to be exempted (if possible) and...

What are my rights when my business partner files for ch7

When your partner filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, she should have listed that she owned a business and should have included you and you should have received notice. That notice should tell you about upcoming deadlines in the case - when the meeting of creditors is. She may not have named you as a creditor, but that does not mean that you are one. You should find out as much as you can about her bankruptcy in order to get a larger picture of the filing. You should consider contacting a...

Employer Asking for NDA

I am not sure how much leverage you will have with your current company. I would advise that you review your employment contract (I'm assuming you have one, given your specialty field) regarding termination. The purpose of a non-disclosure agreement is so that you do not share information learned at your current company with your new company. The purpose of the non-compete clause is similar, in that you cannot work for a new company within a specific geographic area for a specific time frame....

Was served Petition for Divorce from someone whom I have never been married to. Discovery Lvl 2 Rule 190..What should I do?

This is a very odd situation. Do NOT ignore the Petition. If you do not file any documents in response, you may lose your rights. Under most rules, you have 20 days to respond to the court and all that information on where to file should be listed on the Summons. Review the Petition which should state where you were married and when. It may also state pertinent facts that are helpful to shed light on the circumstances leading up to this "divorce". Hopefully, this isn't a "we got married in...

We filled a ch13 to help save home and are payments was to be lower on mortg but could not get any where with them.

Many people file Chapter 13 Bankruptcies to save their home. However, the bankruptcy court in most jurisdictions is not in a position to make your lender give you a lower payment. Some courts have mediations/conferences where lenders and homeowners can mediate and try to see if a lower payment can be accomplished, but no judge can force a bank to lower your mortgage payments. If you cannot get in touch with your attorney, I suggest you do two things. Look up the bar association in the state...

This year i am planning to bring my gf here the the states to marry,would chapter 13 affect my petition for her in any way?

Your chapter 13 bankruptcy should not affect her petition, however, it may come up if you file an Affidavit of Support for her. The Affidavit of Support will list your current situation, and if you have completed or have a confirmed Chapter 13 Plan upon the filing of the Affidavit, you should not have concerns. However, I would advise that you contact an Immigration attorney in your area to fully discus your situation.

How long are Notorized Divorce papers valid if they have yet to be filed?

I agree with the previous answer. I have had a situation where the papers were signed and notarized and 120 days passed between filing. The time lapse had nothing to do with reconciliation, but merely travel and other miscellaneous issues. I'd say if it's any longer than 120 days, get a new set of documents. Paying the notary again (even if it's $10) may be cheaper than a judge dismissing your case and you having to refile again ($408). I'd also do a gut test. Since you are asking the...

Can I forged my ex signature on a contract for a modification on our house.what can happen?

There is absolutely NO reason that you should (or even consider) forgery. Forgery is a crime. Did you and your husband file any paperwork with the courts? Did you have any agreement regarding the house? If so, please review your divorce/separation papers. You should file a Motion to Enforce Modification of the house and get a hearing before a judge and explain to the judge that your husband will not sign the papers. If you have not filed paperwork with the courts, this may be a good time to...

What does my chapter 7 "awaiting closing" mean?

If you bankruptcy was discharged, it means that you have received the relief from the bankruptcy court and the "fresh start" that a Chapter 7 provides. The "awaiting closing" is usually just an administrative procedure letting the clerk know to gather all the documents in their office (and out of the judge's office) and THEN to close the file. You should not worry at this time, since you already received the discharge. The document that would/should concern you would be a Motion to Revoke/...
