My husband purchased our house in Indiana a few months before we got married (over 10 years ago). Am I entitled to half? Does he have to sell the house and split the profits with me?

How do I get him to stay away from my daughter
You may need to consider filing a petition with the court to modify parenting time or otherwise restrict this person's access to your children. You should consider speaking with an experienced family law attorney about your case.
I moved out of my apartment after I broke up with an ex a while ago. He stayed. I forgot to take my name of the lease and he can't keep a job, so now the creditors are coming after me. They've garnished my wages and now I can't afford food or gas. Please, what can I do to fix this?
File a chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to terminate the garnishment.
Papers were left in my door saying I needed to show up for court in August I am being sued for like $3000. I have read it over and over again and it does not say who is suing me. So I have no clue who or why I'm being sued for that amount of money.

If not, contact the clerk of the court and provide whatever information is contained in the paperwork. In most... Read more »

Hello, more information is needed here. It would be unlawful for the employer to consider your use of FMLA in a decision to terminate you. I would reach out to an employment law attorney to schedule a consultation.
The debt is not on my credit report. I go to the court and actually meet with lawyer for Discover who asks some questions. I think they are just trying to keep the debt refreshed. What happens if I don't go? Or should I contact them? We have no money.

The man was 6'4" security guard who. eat his girlfriend. My friend was afraid for her own safety and was afraid if she acted he would turn his attention on her. Prior to the attack, the man's girlfriend tried to force herself on my friend, that's when he attacked his girlfriend.
