I'm disabled and do not work and have never worked. I have social secury and hence don't pay any taxes and never have.

Asked by a user in Riverview, MI - over 2 years ago.

From the information that you provided I assume that you will not be filing a State of MI income tax return and will not be receiving a refund. If that is true then the garnishment will be answered by the state that there were no funds to be garnshished and it will not affect you. Some creditors send the tax refund garnishment in on all judgment debtors.

Divorce-- can I contest that my judge has been changed?

Asked by a user in Livonia, MI - over 3 years ago.

I cannot tell from your questions why a different judge was assigned to hear the case. Has your Judge retired, will he be out for an extended period of time. You could call the County Clerk's office and they may be able to tell you why a new judge will be hearing the matter. Once you know the reason, you may be able to file a motion requesting that the orginally assigned judge hear the matter. Second choice-- get a copy of the transcript where the Court stated it would enforce the order....

My divorce decree, final in April 2008 stipulates that wife refinance the house to get my name off of it. This has not happened.

Asked by a user in Westland, MI - over 3 years ago.

You would have to go back to Court to enforce the terms of the Judgment of Divorce. This is a tough one though, because she may not be able to refinance. You cannont claim interest unless you paid interest.

Should i get a lawyer?

Asked by a user in Marysville, WA - over 2 years ago.

It is always a good idea to have a lawyer represent you in a lawsuit. There are just too many ways to make a mistake when you represent yourself. It would be money well spent.

Filing for bankruptcy. Will it affect my dad's car I cosigned on???

Asked by a user in Park Ridge, IL - over 2 years ago.

Your bankruptcy would not effect your dad's car so long as he continues to make the payments. Your legal liability would be discharged. You should contact a bankruptcy attorney for a free initial consultation. It sounds like bankruptcy would provide the relief that you need.

Do I have to or (Should I) file Bankruptcy also?

Asked by a user in Saint Paul, MN - over 2 years ago.

Filing bankruptcy would stop the garnishment so it would be an excellent idea to speak with a bankruptcy lawyer. Many lawyers offer a free initial consultation.

Chase took money out of my account without letting me know they were going to do this and no judgment was filed,

Asked by a user in Orlando, FL - over 2 years ago.

I am in Michigan so you should speak with an attorney in Florida, but in MI a creditor cannot garnish a bank account without due process-- lawsuit filed, service on the defendants and a judgment. However, if you had a Chase card and a Chase bank account, your documents with the bank allow them to take the money out of your Chase bank account to pay the Chase credit card bill. A charge off doesn't mean anything regarding y our liability on a debt. That is essentially a bookkeeping matter for...
