- Q. I would like to know if I can hire an attorney to verify if my son's dad has received a settlement check?
- A: Yes,. You can do that and more. If the father owes money you can file a contempt/collection case and if you know the source of the settlement and/or the attorney who procured it for him you can issue a subpoena directly to them. If you don't know you can issue written questions to the father asking that he disclose all money received including form the settlement and other information that can help you determine the source, the amount and location of the money and then subpoena those entities to get the amounts and totals. On top of all of this if you prove he had the ability to pay but didn't and even more so attempted to hide the money he can be held in contempt and could be jailed, ... Read More
- Q. My husband is wanting a divorce and I do not. Do I have to leave my home with my son as he wishes?
- A: I am going to tell you something you clearly already knew when you took the time to come on here and ask the question. Your husband is clearly self dealing and you need legal representation.

- Q. What to do if spouse throws stuff out,turns off power,etc,evicts kids & I while not following prenup?
- A: The scenario you presents does not make any sense. If you had an executed prenup it should have most certainly been introduced and been part of any divorce. There are some facts and circumstances missing from what you are saying. I would suggest you consult with an attorney (possibly the attorney who handled your divorce if you trust that person [not sure I would if your prenup was somehow ignored]) to find out your options and what really went on in your case. This is not something someone is going to be able to easily address in this forum without a lot more background information.
