Ohio law has no procedure for sealing civil case records. Once filed with the court, the filed papers are public record open to inspection.

Your obligation is to appear on the date stated in the subpoena and answer questions truthfully. That is the long and short of it.

Yes is the simple answer. First are you and your husband in agreement that you want to end the marriage? If so, then what you need to do is enter into a separation agreement and jointly file a petition for dissolution. Dissolution does not require any grounds and merely requires that the parties jointly want to end the marriage and have agreed on all issues,i.e. who gets what property, who is liable for which bills, who gets the kids and what the amount of child support and any spousal...

I am at a lost. You filed a Chapte 7 and have a rental property. The mortgagee of the rental property has filed a motion. As pointed by one of the other attorneys there is no motion to dismiss. Most likely what was filed is a motion for relief from stay and abandonment which would permit the mortgagee to file a foreclosure action on the rental property. Or is it that you are renting a property and the mortgagee of that property has filed a motion for relief from stay due to you not paying...

Your attorney will know how to proceed. I would expect your attorney to take the deposition of the trustee to establish the full extent of the trust assets and income. This would give your attorney the ability to examine the trust documents to determine whether there is a spendthrift clause which is effective. I too don't believe this is a case for a private investigator. Through depositions and production of documents, your attorney will be able to show his income by this standard of living.

Your statement of the facts are less then clear. You don't revoke your bankruptcy. You can ask that it be dismissed. The trustee has the right to ask you for any information that will aid her in the performance of her responsibilities under the Bankruptcy Code. If you have an attorney, you need to sit down and consult with him or her. If you don't have an attorney, you need one as soon as possible.

No. It will have no effect on your case. Get the medical treatment you need and consult with an attorney to further advise you.

Take him up on his advice and sue him. Also sue his girlfriend too since she may come under the statute. You should consult with an attorney and file suit. If there is insurance, they will defend. Your attorney will then be able to find out the company's name and limits.

Since this loan was discharged in your bankruptcy and you did not reaffirm the loan, the bank cannot come after you for any deficiency. It is my understanding that if the bank files a foreclosure then it can be reported as such to the credit reporting agencies. If the bank wants a deed in lieu, I don't see where that would harm you. However, make sure that the paper work is reviewed by your bankruptcy attorney. Usually, the banks require you to fill out financials before they will take a...

Yes, they are truly being served as set forth in the certificate of service. First, attorneys are officers of the court. Their signature is the same as under oath. Second, Rule 11 of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure states that when a party signs a pleadings they are cetifying to the representatings contained therein. In either case an attorney can be punished for failing to served a pleadings if he or she falsely certified that they did.
