860 Questions Answered
- Q. I live in Louisiana, and need to file a petition to annul a judgement based on improper service.
- A: To an extent, all depends on the amount in controversy (or the amount of the judgment), however, something so important as this one should really have an attorney handle this. In addition to the substance (the petition to annul), there's also the procedure and time deadlines out there in which you need to be aware. As such, I recommend that you hire an attorney----absent that, I recommend that you set up a consult--even if you have to pay---to discuss specifics of your situation and the best way to proceed. As for a form or guide, I do not readily recall one, but it seems goodle is a good place to start---but it does not beat having a lawyer represent you.
- Q. What are my options for a Divorce from a spouse who committed infidelity?
- A: There are various ways to obtain a judgment of divorce in Louisiana---most will select the option of having lived separate and apart for the period of time which would allow you to get divorced---depending on one's situation, 180 days or 1 year. You can also obtain a divorce based on adultery/infidelity but you do have to prove it. I recommend that you contact a divorce/family lawyer in your area and have a consultation to discuss your legal options---after all, if there are children of the marriage and/or property, then there are issues other than the divorce which are in play.
- Q. Is neighbor who backed out of his driveway and crashed into car parked across street liable for all damages?
- A: Liability/fault is based on a review of all of the factors surrounding the collision, but in this case, it sounds like 1 car was moving and the other car was stopped (parked) and unoccupied. If the driver of the moving vehicle acknowledges that he was aware of the parked vehicle before the collision, then I would think it is going to be difficult to show he is not at fault----but again, the post does not give the driver's version and/or present the entire picture.
