It is not a South Carolina law, or any other State law, which protects every individual's privacy... it is Federal law.  Your financial privacy AND your spouse's financial privacy is protected, and creditors who provide information to ANYONE other than the debtor can get in serious legal trouble.\n\nHowever, you or your spouse can provide a creditor with written permission to discuss financial details about your accounts.

sadly, yes they can. The county inwhich you owe back child support in can garnish your taxes every year until all back child support is paid.  Not only can they take your state tax returns, but they can also take your federal tax returns. Generally there is some salvation.  If you have remarried, your spouse may file form 8379 Injured Spouse Allocation, with both federal and state revenue offices.  This way they can only take the person who owes back child support and your spouse will receive their tax returns.

If a spouse INCURS a debt and she is liable on that debt individually, then her husband does not INCUR the same debt unless he has guaranteed the debt as well. \n\n(This is federal law)

If you are joint on any bank account holdings, real estate, or other property he had, then you do not need a lawyer.  However, if there things that you were not joint owner of, then you at least have to go to court to havea judge name you the beneficiary.  In my case, my mother was joint on all of my father's ownings, so she did not have to do anything more than present a death certificate to have his name removed from those holdings.  Most such things are actually titled "joint account with right of survivorship".

The statute of limitations for each state is readilly available on the internet with a simple search.\n\nAttory Generals are not in the business of giving individuals legal advice.\n\nSo what is your problem here?  If the \nSOL has run out, you need to go back to court and get the judgement appealed and overturned.  Until that time the creditor can continue to garnish your wages.

The general rule is that a spouse is entitled to his elective share.  If there is no will, the spouse is entitled to whatever that state says spouses get (usually at least a third if there are children; in some states 100% even with children).  The quality of the marriage is NOT an issue and is irrelevant.  If the woman didn't want him to inherit from her, she could have gotten divorced.\n\nAn insurance policy is paid to the beneficiary.  It is not a probate asset.  The spouse cannot usually claim it.  There may be some circumstances (where, for example, the wife was mandated to elect the spouse but didn't) where he might be able to claim the proceeds of insurance.\n\nIf back child support based on a child support order or agreement is due, the estate of the decedent may be able to sue the husband for it.  In some cases the children might be able to proceed directly.  States may have statutes of limitation that cut off one's ability to claim child support beyond a certain point - five years is probably a good average.\n\nIt sounds like the children need to consult a good estates attorney in their area.

SHE HAS TO REPORT HIM LIVING THERE.  BUT DHS AND CHILD SUPPORT WORK TOGETHER NOW.  IF SHE DOES NOT TURN IN THE FATHER TO CHILD SUPPORT SO DHS CAN COLLECT THIER MONEY FROM HIM SHE WILL LOSE HER MONIES.  ALSO IF HE IS REPORTED SHE AND HE WILL HAVE TO PAY BACK THE STATES MONEY.  AND THERE ARE ALSO SOME DHS SYSTEMS THAT MAKE THE MOTHER WORK FOR HER SMALL CHECK.

Yes they can. If the property is in foreclosure then the loss of value is to the lien holder, not your mother, who will obviously be abandoning the property.

If the property belongs to her, and she can't afford to pay for the nursing home expenses, then the government will take the house to cover expenses.  If she has signed the property over to you (or someone else) prior to seven years before she goes into the nursing home, then it would be clear of risk.

call a laywer and ask for sure but i'd think so... i mean, if you pick up and leave they can't legally proove that you weren't spoused to.

It depends if your state has community property law.  If it does than his debt is now your debt as well and you will be responsible to pay for it.  If you do not live in a community property state than file and injured spouse form and you will get your share of the taxes. You can also file separate.  Best advice is to let them take your share until all of the back child support is caught up.  As soon at that happens the garnishments on his paycheck won't be as much because he will just be paying current support.

You may sue either or both, sue the one nearest you. If he want to redeem any money from the loss of his suit with you he will have to sue his partner. You may add the company to the suit if you like.\n\nTake any and all items you need to prove your claim, to include any person you want to testify in your behalf.\n\nIf you win the case, you must then find a way to collect your money i if he refuse to pay or don't have the funds to pay you. \n\nThere are companies that will do the collection for you for a percentage of the total debt.\n\nYou can also garnish his wages if he has a job or you may place a lien against his home if he has a home.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

He should speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau. As far as I know, unless the house is in joint names or she can prove a significant financial contribution to the upkeep,  she is only entitled to maintenance for the child if they are not married.

If he signed an agreement with her stating that he would pay back the money she spent to redeem his car, then yes, he is legally obligated to uphold his signed agreement.  She can take him to court for default of that agreement if he doesn't keep his word.  Then he would have a court judgment against him as well as the contractual obligation.  After obtaining a court judgment, she could then place a lien on his property to collect the debt or even force him into forclosure or bankruptcy depending on what assets he has available balanced against his ability to pay.

Yes, in a roundabout way.  They can turn the loan over to a collection agency, which can sue, and the court can order wage garnishment.
