Legal Answers

Q. I won some property in my divorce settlement ( a 5th wheel camper). He was to deliver it and never did. what can I do?: September 21, 2022; A: I am sorry you’ve had that experience. Please be advised that the court of common pleas does retain jurisdiction over a divorce to the extent one party fails to comply with the agreement that the court adopted as a order of court.

You may file a petition with the court that presided over the matter for enforcement purposes.

Q. Ex's first name is different from marriage license and divorce decree. Am i legally divorced?: August 20, 2019; A: If your ex-wife legally changed her name after getting married, you are still divorced because she is the same person you originally married. Additionally, the courts ask for social security numbers for parties to a divorce, so that should cover you.

Q. I am looking into a divorce no fault. I would like to know what my options. We have no items to separate.: August 16, 2019; A: If you have no property to divide and neither party desires alimony pendente lite, you can get a divorce with simple paperwork.

Frankly, in most counties, the court has a self help section where you can print out forms and follow the directions to finish the divorce.

However, if you don’t wish to be bothered with the paperwork, you can hire an attorney to file the paperwork and get you divorced. These type of divorces are inexpensive and can be resolved rather quickly, especially where both parties consent to a divorce.

Where the other party does not consent to a divorce, you will most likely have to wait until you have been separated for at least 1 year before you can get a divorce.
