Legal Answers
7 Questions Answered
Q. Can I lose my share of the house if my ex spouse who owns 1/2 the home gets in tax trouble?
A: Yes, the Hawaii Dept of Tax can lien any real property a taxpayer owes. They can only lien up 1/2 the house. Not your share of the house. If they foreclose on the lien (very rare), they would sell the house and pay you 1/2 the net sale proceeds.

Hope that Helps.

Q. If my parents claim me as a dependent but I am majority age (I am 18) can they control my salary?
A: I don't think your parents can control your salary, unless you work for them. However, I am not a CPA. They would know best. Aloha, Blake Goodman
Q. If making monthly mortgage payments, why am I in foreclose, and I have all my bank statements showing I have paid.
A: You are being screwed with. I help people file bankruptcy to save their home from foreclosure, not this kind of thing.

You need to find an attorney that represents borrowers under the Truth in Lending Act (or TILA). See what you can find on Google for an attorney versed in this law that can help you.

Good luck, Aloha, Blake Goodman
