• Reckless Driving Defense

Q. My ex and I agree to modify the morality clause to set a timeline of 6 months in a relationship before overnight stays.

10 March 2021

A: Unfortunately, probably not. There is a procedure that one must follow involving a Motion to Amend, but sometimes before that, we lawyers might have to file something to get the matter "before the court" A court cannot rule on something that's not rightfully in its view--even a Consent Order. Maybe your case is open, and maybe it's not, but there must be an open case for a court to take something up. It must have proper jurisdiction somehow. There are many factors that are important in this discussion. My advice is to involve a lawyer to get this done well and right. There is not a lot of work involved in what you are suggesting, so I do not think the cost will be overwhelming. My best to you all.

Q. I got married abroad. When I immigrated to the U.S. in 1994, my wife did not come. Lost touch, can I get a divorce?

17 May 2019

A: Very unusual and interesting question. The answer is yes, and we have worked through one of these before here in my firm. Would take too long to outline the process on this site. Contact a good family law firm, and they will be able to help. My best to you.

Q. In VA. Divorce- Complaint ent to def. by sheriff and was posted. Def. gave no response after 21 days...what do I do now?

7 May 2019

A: If you have verification that the Complaint was served by the Sheriff, it is possible that the certificate of service from the Sheriff did not make it to the Judge's file? Or was there question about the address? There is also a general requirement to follow posted service with a mailing. Without more information, it is difficult to understand why the service wasn't accepted. That aside, you are allowed have the Complaint served again--this time perhaps by a private process server and served to the defendant personally. Our best to you.
