Legal Answers
15 Questions Answered
Q. Can I file a wrongful death claim against a drunk driver that killed my husband?
A: Of course. Consult an attorney immediately as there are strict time limits to this kind of case. If you call my office I will answer any questions you may want to ask, free of charge.
Q. My 17yr old daughter moved in with her boyfriend and his family. Do I have to still pay ex wife child support
A: Before taking any self-help action and terminating child support payments on your own, you should first consult an attorney who will review the situation as well as the current child support order. I have handled cases similar to yours, and what happens is there will need to be a motion filed to modify child support, multiple trips to court and in all likelihood a contested hearing where the mother will probably testify that she is still supporting your daughter either in cash or in kind. By the time you get to court your daughter may have attained the age of eighteen. In the meantime you may have gotten mom thinking about going for college expenses since she's already in court anyway. You need to weigh the expense of that procedure versus the amount you hope to gain in terms of reduced child support. Depending on what you are paying, with your daughter closing in on age 18, the game may not be worth the candle. But definitely talk to a lawyer. Otherwise, if you quit paying on your own, you may soon find yourself staring down both barrels of a contempt petition, so be careful. ... Read More
Q. For a death resulting from a fire in an unsafe structure, would the landlord or the city be legally responsible?
A: Potentially both. It is impossible to address all possible circumstances where liability might be imposed without more information than what you have provided. You should consult an attorney immediately in order to protect and preserve your rights. There are strict time limits governing suits for wrongful death.
