- Q. Is Sunday included as part of a "Friday through Sunday" parenting time schedule?
- A: The child(ren) would need to be returned to the custodial parent on Sunday. If there is no time indicated, then it would normally be a reasonable time based on age.
- Q. I've paid 13 months on a chapter 13 bankruptcy so far. I am really struggling to make the payments.
- A: The most common reasons a person files under Chapter 13 is either they earn too much and therefore are ineligible under Chapter 7 or they are in arrears on their mortgage. If your earnings are below the mean test threshold then it may mean you are behind on your mortgage and want to keep your home. You can not keep your home and not have a plan to pay your mortgage arrears since the home is secured. You should ask your attorney.
- Q. How do I get my attorney to file a 388 return of child petition? She has been failing me due to misconduct.
- A: Is this a NY case? There is no 388 petition. Either this case is for a different state in which case you should repost as such, or you are being misled by your Google research. Talk to your lawyer.
