Ticketed for expired tabs. Website states notice will be mailed for renewal. Did not receive such notice. Contestable?

You can't contest the ticket on the basis that you did not receive a renewal notice alone. Your registration states when your tabs expire and the court will find that you have sufficient notice of your renewal deadline. If you hire a traffic attorney, they may be able to find other grounds to contest your ticket. If you do not want to hire an attorney, you can request a mitigation hearing and ask the court to reduce the fine, or you may be eligible for a deferred finding. Once every 7...

My husband has a new girlfriend and is trying to divorce me to marry her..

Washington is a no fault divorce state. What that means is that infidelity will not be a factor that the courts will use to determine the split of assets/liabilities or child support/parenting issues. Adultery is not a crime and is not a chargeable offense. The courts do not care WHY you are getting a divorce, they just assist in coming up with the terms of your separation from each other. The court will however consider whether your husband has been spending any money on his mistress...

After both parties have signed separation papers and we are at65 days after filing, can he now contest what we both agreed to?

The answer depends on what type of separation papers were signed. If you were both represented by counsel, and you and your attorneys all signed a CR2A agreement, it is almost impossible to change the terms of the agreement. If you both signed a Separation Contract without the advice of counsel, or you both signed the final Divorce Decree outlining the settlement terms, then your spouse can request that the court NOT accept the agreement. I would contact an attorney if you have not yet...

I was recently the victim of DV and the courts put a 2 yr no contact order in place, as the victim can i contest it?

I suggest that you contact the prosecutor's office or your victim advocate and express your desire to no longer have the no contact order in place. They can help you get time before the Judge to state why you believe the order should be lifted. It is then up to the Judge's discretion.

To request for deferred sentencing on a speeding ticket, which box do I check off? Mitigation Hearing or Contested Hearing?

Mark the Contested Box, keep a copy of the ticket for your records, send the original to the court within 15 days of receipt. I also advise that you contact an attorney as you may have other options besides deferrment.

If I own a busines/corp. and we divorce does get half its value?

Washington is a Community Property State. Absent a postnuptial agreement, the business could be deemed a community asset by the court. Your husband would then have a legal argument for a division of all assets. Furthermore, Washington does not require an equal division, but an equitqable division of assets, so 50% is not necessarily an appropriate divsion. Another concern is something called GOODWILL. your "good name" or reputation in an industry can be deemed a community asset and you...
