Legal Answers
4 Questions Answered
Q. My husband died while our division of assets was still being worked out, due to a prolonged illness.
A: No, but if you mean that he died while the division of your assets were still being worked out means that you filed for equitable distribution and that was still a live claim that was incomplete when he passed, then the personal representative of the estate should be able to continue see that process through.
Q. I'm on child support an I haven't seen my boy in years..I beg an beg no answer ..I pay my support
A: Hello,

If you are wanting to have visitation with or custody of your son then you should begin the process of filing a complaint for child custody. I would definitely start with consulting with family law attorneys in your county since each county has different local rules and can get tricky. I would also try calling the Clerk of Court in your county (or the County that your son lives in if it is different) and ask them if they have any information for you to try to begin that process on your own if necessary.
Q. Will my children be responsible for my student loans, and credit card debt when I die? Assets are $2000
A: Hello,

Not unless they co-signed on them. Family is not usually responsible for the debt of the decedent unless they have made themselves personally accountable for those debts.
