- Q. Can a mortgage be refinanced against divorce decree agreement with both parties in agreement to do so?
- A: Your Decree can be modified by stipulation provided both former spouses agree. I recommend that one of you hire a family law lawyer to assist with this modification.
- Q. I am looking to file a partition motion. Can a partition motion be contested or delayed?
- A: A partition action is a lawsuit and is commenced by filing a complaint, not a motion. A lawsuit can be contested and can be delayed. Reaching a negotiated settlement that is fair is a better option. I understand that you have tried this but, once a lawsuit is filed, you will have additional opportunities to attempt settlement with your sister.
- Q. Is Rule 60(b) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure applicable to proceedings in the Arizona Court of Appeals?
- A: No. The Rules of Civil Appellate Procedure govern proceedings in the Court of Appeals.
