- Q. How do you go about having an ex spouse removed from a deed that is not on the mortgage?
- A: If there was no Settlement Agreement executed in this case and neither party filed a count for Equitable Distribution during the Divorce, the remedy now is most likely a Complaint for Partition.
- Q. Does the closure of PA schools mean the school year has ended and we should start end of School year custody?
- A: Every county is issuing updated directives. One that was just issued is copied below: “In Westmoreland County, there have been questions from counsel and litigants pertaining to Governor Wolf's directive closing all schools in PA for the remainder of the school year and whether that will affect custody orders. The answer is no. Summer custody orders take effect on the date that school would normally have ended for the school year. The school year schedule for custody remains in effect until that date for all Westmoreland County custody orders.”
- Q. How do i sign away my parental rights without having to pay any child support.
- A: If everyone agreed, mom’s new husband could do a step-parent adoption, which would end your parental rights and support obligation.
