IF EXPLAINED IN COURT, I'M ALMOST 99%SURE YOU'D GET IT ALL, WAS THE CAR YOU WERE DRIVING A POSSESSION OF YOUR MARRIAGE OR WAS IT A CAR YOU HAD BEFORE THE MARRIAGE?.....DID HE AT ANYTIME, "LIVE IN YOUR BODY AND SUFFER YOUR PAIN?.....I THINK NOT........YOUR EX IS TRYING TO INTIMIDATE YOU, I'D FILE A RESTRAINIGN ORDER ON HIM WITH ONLY SUPERVISED VISITATION WITH YOUR CHILD WITH A WITNESS PRESENT AND ALWAYS EITHER RECORD YOUR CONVERSATION OR VIDEOTAPE IT. THIS WILL KEEP HIM AT HIS BEST MANNERS AND HE'LL KNOW YOU ARE DOING THINGS BY THE BOOK. MAKE SURE YOUR ATTY. TELLS THE JUDGE HE IS INTIMIDATING YOU AND THAT YOU ARE AFRAID OF HIM, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE IS MONEY MOTIVATED (bad for him in court)AND JUDGES LOOK DOWN ON PEOPLE WHO INTIMIDATE WOMEN. IN ALL STATES

each state is different, but if he is making a lot more money than you spousal maintenance should be awarded for a period of time...you get half of all assets and half of all bills in most states and if you have been married over a certain number of years you are entitled to half of his retirement...an attorney would need to go into more detail with the exact laws of your state.

you can put what ever you want on your claim.  phone charges, loss of wage, whatever.  if you win, its up to the judge what is granted or not. he could grant a partial ammount of your claim. if i were to guess i would say, that he wouldn't grant you the loss of wages.  however, you may try and claim the filing fee.

All depends on what trial it is of course. I suggest you telephone for some advice, perhaps your lawyer.

Go to a lawyer specializing in Personal Injury. Don't sympathize with the one who got you into all this trouble, and don't care whether he is "incompetent" or not. If you are insured, your insurance company and his should be taking care of expenses, but better see a lawyer first. There will be a lot of investigations and interviews from both companies and your lawyer, and everything will come out. Meanwhile, have a record of all your medical bills and correspondence with the insurance companies, etc; take pictures of everything that was affected, especially your injuries---gross as it may seem, if it is, take shots of your wounds, etc., in short, everything! Your lawyer if he is good will need all these.\n\nMy hubby was hit by a car when he was walking, broke a leg, not his fault as he walked on the pedestrian go-signal. The offender's insurance and our insurance took care of all expenses. We went through 3 or so lawyers before we found someone who really worked on it and got us a 6-figure settlement, aside from the payment of all costs involved. \n\nIf your lawyer is hard to contact, doesn't return your calls, and the case is moving slowly, don't be afraid to fire him. There will be others who will take your case. You don't pay them anything because their payment will be a percentage of your settlement, so the bigger they get for you, the bigger money they get, too. \n\nDon't be discouraged. Keep your wits. Look out for yourself. \n\nIf you were in Canada I can give you number of the best injury lawyer there is...

If you have children and u left him with the children, he can go to family court and get and a temporary  order( pendente lite) for you  to contribute now. Otherwise,When and if u r divorced, the settlement will reflect this. If the note on the house is more than the house can be sold for and there are not other offsetting assets ( pensions, cars, IRA's, Householfd furnishings etc.) he could potentially get a judgement against you for half of the difference.

i wouldn't in fact i would go talk to a lawyer. sounds to what he is doing is trying to cover his azz because he knows he caught if u apologize then he knows that u can't sue later on that. because u'll be admitting guilt but u went back yo him then yea he can make u do what ever he wants since he's doing a favor for u buy lrtting u come back but if he came to u first then no he can't

This is a tough situation you put yourself into...I suggest you take the mature way out and Tell his wife. Telling his wife will get his marriage in shambles and then you and her can begin the sueing process. It is in your best interest to sue him for emotional problems and the lifestyle he has given you. Good luck ! IF you need a good lawyer call 1 800 ask gary hes no mumbo jumbo

The issue here is one called "jurisdiction" - the question of whether a court in a particular location has the legal ability to "hear" a claim on a particular subject.  There are two types of jurisdiction - personal jurisdiction (the ability to hear a case based on the parties themselves and where they're from) and subject matter (the topic of the claim) jurisdiction, and the court has to have both in order to hear the claim.  In other words, if the court has one but not the other, then they can't hear the claim.\n\nSo, for your particular question, if I understand it correctly, you were in another state and were hurt by someone while there.  You returned home and now you want to sue.  So, in general, any state's court system definitely has subject matter jurisdiction over torts (claims from one person against another person).  But the problem is personal jurisdiction.  Since the party that hurt you did so in another state, you have two places where you can file... the state where the defendant resides, or the state where the damage was "incurred" (where you were hurt).  Thus, if by chance the defendant is from your state, you can then sue in your state.\n\nGood luck!

Welcome to the real world. My brother-in-law is a lawyer for a government agency. He tells us that all lawyers are dishonest. Now, this brother-in-law is the best husband, father, and man that I have came in contact with. Go figure? \nThere were six of us who were permanently injured at the same company. Indiana law states that a person cannot sue his/her employer; only the company of a machine manufacturer if the problem was with a mal-function machine caused by their error.  Each of us called lawyers all over the state of Indiana. We also contacted an extreme amount of government elected officials and we could not get help. We did have proof a black list existed for those who were injured there and for those with chronic diseases. I will not go into detail. If you find legal help, you are one of the few who finds one. \nThose who believe that suing is so easy are extremely uneducated and IGNORANT!!! Sorry, even after eighteen years, I hurt so much and the pain and memories of what we went through will probably haunt me forever. May God lead you to justice.

It really depends on the state. Which lawyer were you talking to? Hers? Yours?  \n\nIn many states only the wifes 1/2 of the community property is hers.

You may sue either or both, sue the one nearest you. If he want to redeem any money from the loss of his suit with you he will have to sue his partner. You may add the company to the suit if you like.\n\nTake any and all items you need to prove your claim, to include any person you want to testify in your behalf.\n\nIf you win the case, you must then find a way to collect your money i if he refuse to pay or don't have the funds to pay you. \n\nThere are companies that will do the collection for you for a percentage of the total debt.\n\nYou can also garnish his wages if he has a job or you may place a lien against his home if he has a home.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

It depends on the court order.  If it's for any income, yes, he will.\n\nHe could go before a judge to get it temporarily reduced. (maybe)\n\nHe could also ask his ex for a suspension during the recovery time and make it up later.

You you can.  But it's still going to take a lawyer to help divide the debts between you and your husband.\n\nYou also need to contact your bankruptcy lawyer and trustee, because it's going to have a drastic effect on you "plan".

Absolutely!  Just about anyone can sue anyone for anything!  Whether the plaintiff wins or not is always open to the decision of the court. \n\nIf you owe medical expenses they can sue you.  The judge, if he/she rules in favor of the plaintiff, there are several options available upon judgment.  A few of these area:\n\n1.  Attach (lien) of any real property (land, homes, etc.) In extreme cases you may be forced to sell the property.              \n2.  Garnishment of wages.\n3   Attach (lien) of vehicle (not usually done).\n4.  Interest and late fees.\n5.  Notices filed with public access in county recorder's office.\n6.  Credit  agencies always receives these notices.\n\nIt is always best if you can settle without going to court to arrange the payment of the debt.
