Since you are both equal owners of the house, there is probably no way to prevent it. Good luck.
Q: Can I sue a driver/owner (18 yrs. old) insured under NJSA 39:6A-3.3 in small claims court?

Yes, you can probably do so, but more facts are necessary to make that determination. Contact an attorney and have a consultation with the attorney. Good luck.

Q: Only the wife is on the deed of real property. The husband passes away. Can the wife disclaim the property?
Answered on Apr 23, 2016

Maybe, more information is needed and the will would have to be reviewed and remember time limits do apply so I suggest a consultation with a lawyer, it may cost a few bucks but could be worth it in the end.
Q: What is the fine for section 39 : 4-137

Depends on the court but Generally about $47.00 if payable, if not payable it will be the amount the judge sets, plus court costs.
Q: I received my 1st and only dui back in 2010 i was 20 at the time since i was under 21 isnt that considered underage dui

More information is needed such as a review of your old discovery, unfortunately its not a simple yes or no answer as it depends on many factors including but not limited to your BAC level. I suggest a sit down consultation with an experienced DWI lawyer.
Q: Do I still have to pay child support to the mother if both my children are enrolled in college and live on campus?

YES, the children are full time students and the money is for their benefit. However very recent NJ case law allows payment of child support directly to children. You need to retain an experienced matrimonial attorney to handle this situation for you. Good luck.
Q: Verbal agreement (NJ) after written marital settlement agreement (FL). Can I sue for breach of verbal contract in NJ?

You are not going to be able to have this answered in anything other than an in person consultation with a full review of all documents. An oral agreement MAY or MAY Not be enforceable. A lot more information is required. Set up an appointment with an experienced matrimonial attorney right away. Good luck.
Q: I gain citizenship through marriage of an American citizen..can I file 90 days before the 5 years for my new wife?

More facts are necessary to answer your question. You need to retain an immigration attorney to handle all immigration proceedings. This prevents errors that can sometimes prove costly and may even be irreversible. Use AVVO's Find a Lawyer tool to select a qualified attorney. Good luck.

Q: I live in NJ. My Ex moved to FL & won't pay child support/answer calls/letters. What's the best way to proceed?

You need to retain matrimonial counsel, who is licensed in both NJ and Fl. In the alternative, you need to just retain an experienced NJ matrimonial attorney, who will pursue this matter aggressively.

Possibly but more information would be needed to answer your question including a reading of the will and the probate papers.
Q: Hi, am i eligible to claim my bonus if i leave in the middle of the year with the clause i signed below?

An attorney cannot give you legal advise without reading the whole document to give you the advise you seek. It would be like asking a doctor to prescribe medication to you for a cold but he did not examine you and not only do you have a cold but a heart condition which will effect the medication you can take.
Q: Can siblings in fathers will agree to give automobile to one sibling in fathers will and procedure to do this?

It can be done but can have both tax consequences and legal consequences, a lawyer cannot tell you how to do it in a forum like this, that is what in office consultations are for. I would suggest that you set one up with a lawyer.
