Legal Answers
- Q. Who owns the house?
- A: In Florida, if the deed is only in your mother's name and she is unmarried then she owns the house. You do not mention whether there is a mortgage and if so, whose name is on the mortgage. Assuming that there are no encumbrances (mortgages or other liens) then your mother can sell the house if she wants to. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
- Q. In florida and father of baby is moving the Oregon, mother and father are separating and mother does not want to go.
- A: You do not say whether mother and father are married or not. If married and mother wants to stay in Florida then she needs to file for divorce. If not married then mother controls where the child lives until father goes to court for paternity. Father cannot force unmarried mother and child to move anywhere. Either way, if mother wants to stay in Florida then she should start legal action in Florida. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
- Q. I divorced 2yrs ago and was awarded alimony in Florida.
- A: The answer will depend on what kind of agreement you entered into with your former spouse when you agreed to the termination (verbal, written, etc.). Since you did not file anything with the court then there may be a chance; however, your former spouse will argue that you reached an agreement and that alimony is terminated.
