How can i find out if i am a trust beneficiary

If you are a trust beneficiary, other than a beneficiary of a specific gift, you are entitled to a copy of the trust and a full accounting for the trustee's actions. Remember, the trustee works as a fiduciary on behalf of the beneficiary so do not be timid in approaching the trustee as if you were the trustee's boss. Also remember, the trustee is likely collecting a fee for its services.

Can a person file a harassment complaint against wife's attorney for obvious attacks of verbal abuse to me?

Likely not. You would do well to ignore the sarcasm, give the attorney whatever discovery is requested, and try to move on with your life. Her lawyer's job is not to be your best friend, and in most cases of this kind, there is an underlying reason why individuals are subjected to this type of treatment, usually at the direction of the other party.

Check your written warranty for coverage. Send them a certified letter telling them if they do not repair you are going to contact the State of Illinois Attorney General's Consumer Fraud Division to initiate a complaint.

Only if he lied, and you can prove he lied under oath in a sworn statement or testimony given to the court, then the court will consider issuing a nunc pro tunc order relating back to the original date of hearing. Otherwise, you are stuck, and have to go to court now for an order of modification.
