Can the Mingo county commission amend a life estate in a WV divorce and over rule the judge?

I don't think so, but I wouldn't be foolhardy enough to answer a definite "no" without knowing more about the specific situation.  What did they attempt to overrule?  If the judge's ruling violates any Mingo County ordinances or statutes, then the County Commission could ask a higher court to block the original judge's ruling.  I don't believe they could just arbitrarily overrule the judge, though.\n\nHowever, I don't practice law in West Virginia, so if this is your situation, you definitely want to seek the advice of an experienced attorney.

Yes because he did not represent you or did your paperwork for your divorce.  If her current husband is a judge, that would be a different story.

I think that you should appeal this.\n\nWith whatever documentation you have from taxes paid and the sale of the business, I don't see why this judgemnt cannot be overturned.

I believe you can petition it, but you need to prove that there is some bias with that judge. It cannot be just because you dont like him/her.

If you mean Mingo County, West Virginia, it was a conflict between coal miners and mine operators. Lots of stuff written about it. Check web sites for more info. See http://www.wvculture.org/hiStory/minewars.html

Do you have an attorney?  If so, they should be advising you on this.  If not, it sounds as though you need one!\n\nIf you think the judge will treat you unfairly, you will first have to convince the judge of that.  Judges are assumed to be impartial, so it is customary to ask them to recuse or remove themselves from a trial or hearing. You would be expected to prove that they may have a bias or personal stake in the outcome.  Only if the judge refuses to do so should you petition the administrative judge (judge's supervisor) to request they be removed.  Going over the judge's head without giving them an opportunity to voluntarily step aside would likely be ignored by the administrative judge and result in the judge in question to make your life even more difficult.

Contact a family attorney. Chances are you can do a petition to the courts on grounds of Abandonment as it has been 2 yrs since they spoke to him so he hasn't been in their life but basically the judge would have to give permission to change their name.\n IN MD KY and GA 1 yr with no communication is considered abandonment

You may motion the judge to do that.  It will be up to the judge on the case.

Years if it is contentious. One particularly famous case currently in West Virginia (and dealing with about 12 million dollars) has been before the WV Supreme Court of Appeals three separate times over a period of nearly seven years. \n\nHonestly, like most lawsuits, unless a settlement is reached, a highly contentious divorce can proceed through appeal and re-appeal and re-litigation for a decade or longer, so long as the parties continue to pump (waste) money in an attempt to stick it to the other side.\n\nThe only way to get a quick divorce is to settle as amicably as possible through mediation.\n\nAnd this isn't even counting how long a "divorce" gets drawn out through a custody dispute -- in those cases the real conflict of divorce can go on almost forever (or at least until the child reaches 18 or graduates college).

a county judge deals with minor - or viewed as such - matters. Local fraud, abuse, children...etc.\nMurders go to a higher judge. The Supreme Court usually.

A judge can do anything calendar wise with proper notice and the following of the Rules of Court.  This all depends on your jurisdiction. I'd suggest you attempt to reschedule through the court's Clerk. If a judgment was entered despite the cancellation of a mediation or hearing, it MAY be the basis for an appeal, but once again it depends on the jurisdiction.

Contact the clerk at the court where the proceding will take place. It is likely the Washington County Circuit Court, the web site for which is below.

Ignore all of the above answers.  They are plain wrong.\n\nIf he died without a will, the law of "intestate succession" in Ohio will determine who gets what portion of his estate, or his assets.  Generally speaking, the law of intestate succession provides that the estate will go to the spouse, and if the spouse died first, then to the children, if any. So if you are his only child, generally speaking, you should get everything.\n\nIn order to settle an "intestate" estate (one in which the person died without a will) the next of kin must go to the local surrogate to have administrator appointed (In contrast, if a person dies with a valid will, this step is uneccessary, because the will will ususally appoint an executor in its terms).  The person seeking to be the administrator of an intestate estate generally has to post a bond (but may vary in Ohio, depending upon Ohio law) to protect the administrator from screwing over the beneficiaries.  \n\nOnce appointed, the administrator has to "settle the estate.  That is, marshall (or gather) the deceased person's assets, pay his debts, and then, if anything is left over, distribute the residue (what's left over) to the beneficiaries.  \n\nIf your father had assets, and no real debt, and you think there will be a good amount of money left over from his estate (the "residue") and you fear your aunts will steal what is rightfully yours, you should hire an Ohio lawyer to 1) contest them being appointed administrators, and 2) have you appointed as administrator instead.   This will cost you money, but it will generally be paid out of the residue of the estate.  In other words, the lawyer will try to have you appointed as administrator, and if he is successful, he will help you settle the estate, and take his fee from the residue (what's left over after all debts are paid). It is very much worth the money.  \n\nIf you do get cheated, you might be able to resort to the bond which the administrator likely had to post.  Contact a lawyer to find out how.  \n\nGo to www.martindale.com to find a lawyer who practices estate and trust law in the county in Ohio in which your father resided or died.  Do not delay in contacting a lawyer, as the sooner you challenge your aunts actions, the better.  \n\nGood luck.

Basically a judge decides these things but it can be a contested divorce which means nothing goes until all parties agree. I'd suggest negotiating more...

That depends on who asked for it.If your husband asked for it then I don't think you can have it removed.If you made the request then you need to go and speak with the Judge that signed the order.
