Her hair in mind go. WebMD to diagnosed my cancer. I. All of that everything unfold by doing everything at Indianapolis. Actually the cleanup when your parents passed away. And view are the person that there are leaving everything to. Do you have to pay off their credit cards and bills so typically the way that the state where if you bring your state into the probate court and family court and is a one year period attire and the creditors have the right to file a notice decline. So typically on this credit card bills that they filed their notice of claim the proper amount of time in the court the way that you're supposed to be done. Those things to do we get paid out of the state before you get your money. There is a timely but he used to be year I think it still is. Here's a 774 text do we need to lawyers for a pre nup if we agree on everything in my lawyers insisting we deal. You'll lawyer it is very intelligent you do in fact need to lawyers. Now even though they need is a funny word yeah yeah should they should have won the Asian if you want a story upheld yeah let's start if you really wanna protect your assets. The two good practices dabble size purpose so somebody can't try to claim in court I didn't have a lawyer assignments pre nup adding that I learned I what do rats yes it was a full disclosure my assets under things. Our costs are Marmara aired yet far from our jobs and on comes the that could happen or this person is. This person wants you to answer the will question. Should do you know will and how much how much does that cost yes you should get a will and how much it cost depends on where you can you will. If you want to hear doctor example and Worcester you're probably talking 500 dollars yeah it's a simple little pour over. That's seeping in Boston's probably fifteen of I know that I was I have offices in bull the FC now I drinks after 36 violations at another golf and I kinda gets out of college I suspect. So and what do you don't have anything I mean what if you don't have any assets is that the reason is to have a little typically when you do William health care proxy durable power of attorney so for example. Art call that got a T bone accident he's in a coma he's up to guide is now pays bills. Yet it will be yeah he's got his power of attorney in his in his health care proxy so decisions can be made on his behalf what about the royal pre nup. Do we know anything about what the royal pre nup it's like well if there was anything like the wedding it's why. At Atlanta church cheering. But not good but will's love heals all but but there's a good note here it lets you let me use. Ask you my man yeah just come in at a rapid pace of small arms just he's just may be a part of the show yeah right what and I know my. Point here is there is if I if I if five atomic debt. Days can you put in a will you have. Word together and then I become. Full of atomic debt. Because when you're together someone else custom paid the debt that's. Asking for friends. Yeah I love where I mean yeah yeah. Can you put that in the way you can you put you delegate your debt to somebody Yahoo! none are can you can you save the other person from the debt. We you can but that's called chapter seven bankruptcy or care we should do that first before you apparently. How to lied proof. Loses 617 text how white prove co habitation. Of my ex wife and her rich boyfriend he lives in my house. And takes her on lavish vacations. And I am still paying alma. Well it sounds like you needed a different lawyer because it is no longer your house it is her house let's start with that. Habits do the best way to do this is to hire private detective. It's in ninety equal habitation period. And we talked about this last time I was here this things you look at such as where's as Mayo goes to voter registration driver's relations. Where's his car parked in the morning whereas the park Arctic night. I'm not I question just quickly and the cost of Pia. Like just for that. So we'd we do a lot of us and typically for a the surveillance it's anywhere between 15100 to 3500 for a week so it's not cheap but she join our during what you're saving. Right where. And there and heads up for that Gary Allen Mori's attack churn out child support you can't be Cameron and until October of this year OK any elderly orders after October of this year fallen to the neutral tax plan and those little to no longer be deductibles all love you guys that Powell Chad just before tax money yes I passed here's. 617 tax if you get pulled over for suspicion of the do you lie. Should you blow the breathalyzer or refuse the test if you've been drinking I would not blow the breathalyzer because you are pretty much gonna end up. Convicted OK so usually is either way yeah silly me I mean so we hit ninety days if you refuse automatic or no next month's if you're a few that I needed to be taken. Okay and could and for the record. You can be arrested for a point 04 point oh search it's not total point oh wage thing are here again you know that right now while some news on six you know Erica I think I'm well aware aware caused him a couple. Gonna carry you through these questions here not married with kids. Looking to separate. Will IOs support and what percentage of my paycheck so they're not married. But they have kids. Or will a that individual close support and what percentage of the paycheck is. So that depends on a couple things. Somebody's going to. Probably owes somebody supports if you get custody of your child she made you support or email use or you are. If your joint physical custody were both parties share the child equally. Massachusetts courts run the guidelines both ways so that if you goodness pay a hundred dollars your spouse for child support your spouse would pay you fifty dollars. The net payment of fifty dollars goes to the spouse it's a deduction from them out. So goes both ways I would tell you this in Massachusetts finally. Finally we are looking towards a presumption of joint physical custody for male clients. And so what does that mean and well before that ever met have had a hard time getting custody of their kids right that's true story okay. I'm so this means that now it would it would be automatically joined the that it bodes well witness would presumption means you start optic. Here if you look at the scales of justice the line lady everything's equals yeah she start off that way whereas before. Even the Eagles don't know how to start off equally it's more in 82 money the woman and I am so. Now that presumption to be overcome with the evidence that you're not fit to be Casone apparently didn't do things to be the primary caretaker of the child. Or Massachusetts the stand in his best interest of the child. How are you or what interacts war requires some borrowed something you did menu don't consider Dario for fifteen years suck. 978 text bought our house with my husband last year. But everything is in mind mean. Should I add him to the deed or just write out a will leaving him everything. So the the better thing to do in that case is probably to do it he'd add him on that deet and the reason is because. For example William marries here entitled to what's called Tenet's by the priority. Which is a husband and wife and properties upon one's death the other automatically owns that house you don't have to go to the probate process. Which of Xavier tremendous amount of money and tremendous amount of time. This it is. You think you're gonna get of course I think it's good that it doesn't matter and Sissy is still a dozen this is Audrey hello Audrey. They wanted to try to. You're on house if you're unmask a lawyer it would Larry army junior. All que lire got a question for about eight years ago I was living in Rhode Island. By a car. I one million lie in because I do own the car it would at least is that spelled C young lady that I had in the sand. And so now eight years later. To clean up my credit is got a hold of everyone that has. You know past due amounts due or now all of a sudden the lawyer. He's telling me liking to me that he actually didn't core. And I'm kind of wondering what I can do about fish street he can go away. From. So it's really all it is that you did not on the car you just to driving arrest. And they repossessed car you did not home. Correct you know when your. Yeah not releasing it but you're dying is actually making the payments. Cellular island year round concerned get canceled. And we had no insurance. You can't. Is paying on a car could they have to have insurance honestly because that's. How many of you know this was eight years ago. Typically on a breach of contract in his six year statute of limitations now it's under Rhode Island lot you know full disclosure I'm only places in Massachusetts. But typically tort claims of three years statue limitations archer claims are sections of more than six years past years. Ask that you look at why Wyatt has wired hasn't run out a way right the idea is the other option is his captors Edmund yeah. I don't don't don't be communal sort of using. That's awesome full disclosure Melissa yeah this is Hamid thankful he's not just Iraq a full open full disclosure and Mary games. And. My husband. 617 taxed for our school lawyer my husband bought our house before we were married. We had been married for 14 years. Am I entitled to half of that house in the divorce. So did the short answer is you're entitled to something out of that house depends. Quite frankly on how long before you'll in the house he owned it what was the equity in the house before he owned it on these types things it judges in the probing in the court typically look at so even though he bought it. Prodded into the marriage. Theoretically she is entitled to part of that even not something he brought in to marry you and if you think about logically the for the fourteen years they were together they pulled their funds they had joint endeavor is that marriage so wasn't just his his financial means that I assume. The move forward over the next fourteen years and even if it was teachers they Oman. You know I assume that she did things are on the house to make it better as well so. She's entitled to something it really depends on how long how much money when they're gonna buy it no no 508 tax. I gave my fiance a ring and now I wanna back and she refuses to return it. Can I totally favorite question can I can either legally force there. So it depends are weighing you gave her the rings is like law school wanna while I'm going back to Suffolk University. If you gave her the ring on any special occasions such as a birthday or holiday it is considered a gift. If you did not give it to around one of those days and it was a regular day meaning it wasn't anything attached that other than your engagement. It's it's of it's a contract basically to promise for a contract so you can effect sooner for breach of contract for her not fulfilling the house. Getting married you so yes you consumer and wondering back. Same same thing you're 774 texts we were engaged. I bought the 101000 dollar ring now we're separate. Yeah I actually got it. Can I take a bad allergies. Ring well I'd say this you're separated temper or where temporarily take every bag your argument is if same answer as before this. Buyer beware. Let's see. And I was curious side whether or not I can drive would my old plates on until I get the new car registered. You had seven days in Massachusetts I think eking usual place. About seven days you're driving an unregistered motor vehicles this is Al school lawyer this is Jeff Fuller Jeff. Good morning everybody welcome to ask the lawyer. Not much so sir I'll need you to go like direct feature being quote unquote undocumented pharmacist. Any duke and came out they had seen and this art pharmaceutical. It vikings are supposed to be vacated. But unfortunately it and Norfolk VA kept like the chargers which I liked the night I can get out which was where to look. So I have a lot so look if you go to a month a mortgage takes the big battle for the. So that's the woman who is with the woman who was working at the who tainted everything. Could he sued the states you know you you can sue anybody right you consider him the question is whether you glad I don't mean down the answer is now he's got the point that while he's out there I'm bill that form but he's back. I'm. Originally with a host the fourteen years call Larry army. His he'll take care army and Roche. We the L Larry. What where do you weigh in on speaking of palaces on the story we are talking about earlier. The parents who were trying to kick their thirty something year old son out of the home now the judges said he asked to leave. Does this kid if you are this gives lawyer would you take this further and as he had a case he should be able to limit his parents and to at least it. The so I think this is a different issue than the legal issue I would not take its case first by both of my children know that when they're eighteen they graduate my school. Need to go to college in the get a job I spent if there but this is a bigger issue. I guarantee you that you had a box full participation trophies in this aspect it's all about that movement that liberal movement and let's just coddle these kids today where guys let them know that everything's going to be all right well everything's not gonna be Eric you'd need to lose to note it's like to lose so the evil win. Moon it's really that simple thirtieth still living at home you have issues ya. Yeah here and I don't care about and I heard you talking about that that that's a personal choice to yeah they'll spend more than you make. Yeah. But see here's a question about my wife and I are stuck in a timeshare. With seemingly with seemingly no way out that's just. 'cause you took the three G yeah trip around Joba and you guys and it got dark it. We wanna just give it back if we could is there any advice on this so I've dealt with this once in my pocket now lost a friendship over to hold the friend and I did not ought to handle. Florida in the Arctic partners yeah DO. They don't use lawyers to do and stop the documents the U cider are. Unbelievably pictures of the you're you're in trouble so a better idea is to keep that you'll in any and all okay so little on the time. No there's no get out of those McDonald and these are ultimately yeah can't give back to back themselves and he has the right so give it back or give that to a friend and let them you know it would leave the issue but the better practices to lag times yeah. Let's see there we have time after one or two more. Buddy I'm I'm looking here there's so many questions committed during the segment. What's the best way to get out of the speeding ticket. Tell the truth really. That's the truth is that that just tell the truth and and that's that I earlier than the other man among them asked the police that yes yes and they told you we don't like people that lie down so just tell the truth and often times that this state the truth shall set you free. A lot of things that it you can bet the look at the level with the police option becomes opposite you know you do it right you look at him after going ninety miles an ounce at no clue yet that you're getting a ticket. All right this is. Mac to Mac hello. Take on asked the lawyer Matt what's up. We have my wife and I separated couple years ago and I've been paying them blow it by myself I'm not. Sure water legal obligation sheet on the Baltic to. Well okay. So you both have to pay the mortgage you both their joint and several liability which means if the mortgage doesn't get paid it affects both of your credit now therein lies the conundrum. If you don't pay the mortgage and she doesn't pay more if you're never gonna get another house again because you credit's going to be in the toilet. So my advice is filed for divorce get a temporary order if she's living in the house chances are he can afford at the judge and make her pay the mortgage. If you're living in the house you know vice Versa we'll have to pay for and nobody can afford it typically would the judges will do some house. Here's a text can I stool my wife who cheated on me for breach of contract. You consumer for divorce we can use that adultery tried to get to a bigger pot of the pie but as far as suing her for that you know probably get very far okay. And then you used to because of action that no. No losses the other night for a loss of consumer. Amount. The legal advice about the added another good advice. This has been made public today. Good morning Greg let's update. My question is I was driving in might sound this went there. And I hit eight huge pothole and it caused 25 underdog we're the image to my car I had to pick tonight who might now or. Not taking care of the road. Good question especially would mean the bottom are all over at Massachusetts. Is this thing and I tell everybody out there and in in the congress today the biggest things about pot holes is the towns have to have noticed that they. So if the town knew that the plot hole is there somebody reported in the form letter or phone on the lot that yet typically concede that damage. The problem is not a lot of people call those things you know yeah they use their way they do so if you've ever hurts though five of its well I finally there about how you can address. That they got so you would have that when you go to soon you'd be you know out. Correct inducted they settle on that kind of thing Lotta times they do so I might be worth it so you did 2500 dollars damage. And you go after the town they might settle on to avoid that Mikey B something. So I'll tell you this. There's there's legal advice and then is the way the world really works. You can probably see the town if there was a report you can probably 2500 dollars but. He can't do in small claims courts have to hire a lawyer or you have to navigate this by yourself against city where it's gonna be much more than 2500 dollars. I work for an employer 978 text that shuts shuts down for a week every summer. They force us to use our earned vacation time during the shut down is this legal yes.
