Can an inheritance in jtwros account be considered marital property in a divorce? Husband has put stocks in the account.

The key to determining the nature of property in Ohio is tracing. If the stocks were non-marital, they stay non-marital. Placing them in joint names does not change their status to marital, unless the husband intends by doing so to gift the stocks to the marriage. if, at the time he placed both names on them, he stated an intend to give wife an equal share, that would be evidence of gifting to the marriage.

Consequences of having a police report filed against you?

I agree with Jeff. I have never heard of an employment or school application asking if a pollice report has ever been filed against you. They ask about convictions and, sometines, charges. There should be no issues wtih this. However, now that the campus police have you are their radar, you should be careful.

In my husbands presentence report the woman who wrote it states that she talked to me via telephone. I never talked to the

The answer depends on your goal. If you just want to let someone know the investigator failed to do her job, you write to the supervisor. If, however, the statements she attributed to you harmed your husband's chance for a lighter sentence (or the failure to get your statements did so), then you need to talk to the attorney about the possiblity of filing for judicial release and using the information you have in the motion and at the hearing on the motion.

Can I apply restraining order to again my wife showing up not telling me in my working to cause argument because divorcing?

If you are asking if you can obtain a civil domestic violence protection order due to your wife coming to your house, you must show that she is physically harming or threatening you. If you are asking if you can keep her out of your house, you may be able to obtain a court order for exclusive use of the house. This will probably require filing for divorce. You should consult an attorney in your county.

Hi

I concur with the first answer. You need an attorney. Hopefully, he can have the warrant for you not appearing recalled and give you proper representation, which you cannot do yourself.

In Connecticut is it difficult to terminate my fatherly rights away if the child is 24 years old?

I read the first answer and comments. As your child is grown, the only way to terminate any obligation to him is to disinherit him from your estate. This is done by you writing a will, and stating that you are purposely not bequething anything to him, as he has not been a son to you other than through biology.

If I receive a "Summons and Order to Appear" from the Court of Common Pleas through the mail (not hand delivered to me),do I go?

It does not sound like this is a subpoena, as those are not generally sent through the mail. For you to be arrested for not appearing pursuant to a subpoena, you must be personally served. You should consult an attorney regarding exactly what was served to determine any potential consequences of not appearing.

Can a mother's baby get taken away if she has postpartum depression?

You should consult with your doctor to determine if you have post partum depression, or another issue, and begin treatment. If you are having issues caring for the child, obtain assistance from friends, family or a social service agency. Taking action to deal with any issues will greatly assist you in obtaining custody in the divorce. It is very rare for a husband to obtain sole custody of an infant.

Will the prosecutor change her mind?

The determination to press charges generally rests with the prosecutor's office. If the police believed charges should be filed, you could solicit their help to convince the prosecutor. if not, you can try speaking to the prosecutor yourself. If she still does not wish to prosecute, you could request you be given a private complaint referral to bring the charges yourself. You could also file a civil suit against the woman to seek money damages.

In a Domestic Abuse Addendum claim paper form, shouldn't the hearing and trial follow and focus on what said on that form?

The evidence presented at trial does not have to match what was in the peition, but, if it does not, that can assist you in winning the case. As I did not hear the evidence, I cannot say what pursuaded the judge, but a hole in the apartment wall allegedly made by you could be seen as an attempt at physcial harm. You should have obtained an attorney to handle the trial. If you still have time to appeal, you should retain an attorney to look into the merits of doing so.
