California laws has a separate property law. Since you owned the property before you were married, he can not take it way from you. \n\nhttp://www.nvo.com/beaulier/statebystatedivorcelaws/

Yes, it is called filing "In Pro Per", and is the cleanest, least troublesome way to do an uncontested divorce. Just go to your County Clerk's Office and ask for the forms for Dissolution and Uniform Custody Order....if issues DO arise about which you and you ex-to-be do not agree, many jurisdictions offer mediation services free or at very little cost.\nGood luck.\n\nPS, there is absolutely NOTHING illegal about not hiring a lawyer, the person below is mistaken in that statement.

you can't\nmost states are  no fault, and the only way to contest them would be for money and child support / custody, but once papers are filed, the dissolution of marriage ( as it's known in legal terms ) will be granted, it might take longer if it's contested, but eventually who ever filed will get the judgment and you cannot stop it. He also does not have to give a reason ( hence the term no fault ).\n\nNew York Has A Version of No-Fault Divorce\n\nNew York does not have no-fault divorce as such. Instead, New York's version of a no-fault divorce requires that the spouses live apart from one another for at least a year before a divorce can be filed. The parties must execute a Separation Agreement, which must be filed with the local County Clerk before the one-year period begins to run. The spouse suing for divorce must prove that he or she has substantially performed the terms of the Separation Agreement to obtain a divorce. If you obtain a divorce based on a written Separation Agreement, you don't have to sign any papers or give any testimony about reasons for the divorce. In other words, no personal allegations against either spouse are necessary. There are other grounds for divorce in New York which are explained below.\n\nThere are several steps that must be completed before you can file for a divorce in New York State.\n\nResidency Requirements\n\nFirst, you must satisfy the residency requirements set forth in Domestic Relations Law §230. To file for a divorce in New York you must satisfy one of the following residency requirements:\n\n1)The marriage ceremony was performed in New York State and either spouse was a resident of the state at the time of the commencement of the action and resided continuously in this state for one year immediately before the action began;\n\nOR\n\n2)The couple lived as husband and wife in this state and either one is a resident thereof and resided in this state for a continuous period of one year immediately prior to the commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n3)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and either party is a resident thereof and lived in this state for a continuous period of one year prior to commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n4)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and both parties are New York residents at the time the action is commenced;\n\nOR\n\n5)If you and your spouse were married outside of New York and you never lived together as husband and wife in this state and the grounds for divorce did not occur in this state -- either you or your spouse must presently be a resident of New York State and have resided continuously in the state for at least two years prior to bringing this case.\n\n\nServing the Summons and Complaint\n\nSecond, you must ensure that the court has jurisdiction over your spouse (the Defendant) by arranging for him or her to be served with a Summons and Complaint or a Summons With Notice.\n\nStep 1: Your divorce action begins when you purchase an index number and file the summons with the County Clerk’s office.\n\nStep 2: Your spouse must then be served with a copy of the summons by being personally given the document. It is important to determine where your spouse is located. If he or she lives in New York State, the server must be a resident of New York State, over eighteen years of age, and CANNOT be a party to the action (this means you may not serve your spouse with the summons).\n\nIf your spouse is presently residing outside of New York State you must still ensure that he or she is personally served with the summons. It is preferable to have this service accomplished by a New York resident, although this might be costly. If you use a non-New York State resident to serve your spouse outside of the State, the server must be a qualified attorney, solicitor or the equivalent in that state or nation. Otherwise the person must be authorized to serve papers pursuant to the laws of that state.\n\n \n\nThe person

If you want custody of your children, the best thing you can do is hire an experienced and good child custody attorney.  I would strongly advise you NOT to go it without legal help.\n\nIf you decide to go it alone, go to a law library.  Many counties (or if you are in Louisiana, parishes) have law libraries.  A better library to go to would be the library of a law school - if you are in Louisiana, go to the law school library at LSU or Tulane.  Look at the statutes on Family Law or Domestic Relations to find out the law on how to get custody.  You will also have to look at the law on Civil Procedure to know what is required for your Modification of Custody lawsuit.  The law library may also have resources about the law in Guam.  Just ask a law librarian - they are usually very helpful, but they WILL NOT give you legal advice.\n\nFinally, I don't know the law in Louisiana, but in Georgia, in order to modify custody you have to show that the custodial parent is "unfit."  I don't know if the mere fact that your wife is a lesbian meets the standard of unfitness.   By the way, are you already divorced, or are you going through that process as well?  If you are not already divorced, then "unfitness" may not be a factor.\n\nI hope this helps!  Good luck.

It depends on what state you are from.  In TN the waiting period for a no fault divorce is 90 days, but in SC the waiting period is 1 year.  You should be able to call any lawyer, or legal representative in your phone book and they could answer this question for you at no charge.

The law that governs eviction is Fla. Stat. § 83.59 (2005)\nwhich basically says that A landlord can only evict through court proceedings, he cannot just give you a notice he has to sue(although the suit will be on the fast track) you. Basically if you refuse to move out Landlord cannot use self help to throw you out -- that will be assault, and he will need a court order to have a sheriff come and kick you out legally.\n\nHere is the statute in full: \nRight of action for possession\n\n\n   (1) If the rental agreement is terminated and the tenant does not vacate the premises, the landlord may recover possession of the dwelling unit as provided in this section.\n\n(2) A landlord, the landlord's attorney, or the landlord's agent, applying for the removal of a tenant shall file in the county court of the county where the premises are situated a complaint describing the dwelling unit and stating the facts that authorize its recovery. A landlord's agent is not permitted to take any action other than the initial filing of the complaint, unless the landlord's agent is an attorney. The landlord is entitled to the summary procedure provided in s. 51.011 [F.S. 1971], and the court shall advance the cause on the calendar.\n\n(3) The landlord shall not recover possession of a dwelling unit except:\n\n   (a) In an action for possession under subsection (2) or other civil action in which the issue of right of possession is determined;\n\n   (b) When the tenant has surrendered possession of the dwelling unit to the landlord; or\n\n   (c) When the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit. In the absence of actual knowledge of abandonment, it shall be presumed that the tenant has abandoned the dwelling unit if he or she is absent from the premises for a period of time equal to one-half the time for periodic rental payments. However, this presumption shall not apply if the rent is current or the tenant has notified the landlord, in writing, of an intended absence.\n\n(4) The prevailing party is entitled to have judgment for costs and execution therefor.

You need to call the Muscogee county clerk of court to get that information. I tried to get the number for you, but my computer is acting up.

need more of the question.\n\nIf you want a speedy trial it is your right.  However you must ask for a speedy trial. When you do so this will place a timeline on your charges to be brought to court or dismissed,.  In  Georgia its 6 months.\n\nIf you don't ask your charges could be over 3 years in backlog.

I'm a former police officer turned attorney in Indiana. I don't know if this will help or not.\n\nWere the two of you ever married? If yes, then he may have an equal right to the child. It all depends on the law in Tennessee. \n\nWhy are the papers not drawn up yet? What did they state? You should've had at least a basic knowledge of what they were suppossed to say. Were they done locally? If so, go to the court that is working on them, and see if you can get a copy directly from them. \n\nAs a police office we never got involved in custody disputes. It was not our job to resolve civil disputes. Most people never realize this, but police usually have no power over civil law matters; only criminal. I would contact your local law enforcement and ask to speak to an officer. Ask what their policy is regarding these type of disputes. We usually left the child with whoever had custody at that time as we had no power to determine custody. \n\nI wish you the best of luck.

Any time someone asks who or what is best, the answers will only be someone else's opinion. One will say this is the best and another that is the best. I have no opinion on this matter because I've never been to Georgia State Law.

Ayup.\n\nGrandparent Rights to Visitation: As a part of a decree dissolving the marriage or a decree that neither party is entitled to a divorce, the court may grant visitation to the grandparent if the grandparent has intervened in the suit for dissolution of the marriage. The court must find that the visitation is in the best interest of the child, after considering the statutory best interest factors. Title 20, Section 20-124.1 (C.V. § 20-124.1).\n\nSo if it's you your asking about, hurry up and file the necessary papers to intervene.
