Husband arrested for domestic abuse in 2009. filed papers for divorce that sept. he s just now giving me the papers signed back. so the date on them

Stephen Marc Drucker
Answered by attorney Stephen Marc Drucker (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Legal Action Workshop Professional Corporation
I'm not sure if I am understanding what you need?  If you have filed for divorce, your spouse needs to be served.  He can be served by a process server or other adult (not a child of the marriage) and he does not need to sign anything.  He has 30 days to respond.  If he responds then you are in a contested divorce and will have to go to trial to address your issues or will need an agreement. If your spouse does not respond within 30 days from the date of service, you can enter a 'default'.  If you did not enter a 'default' and he responded a year later...you will now need to go to trial unless he will sign an agreement regarding your issues. Divorce is complicated and not easy to get through the court system.  It sounds like you are trying to do this without legal advice or oversight.  If you wish, you can go to the court 'self help' section and they can help you understand the process.  If you can afford our flat fees, you can also give me a call to help.

If someone is married and you gave them a car for a gift if they divorce do they have to give it to their spouse?

Answered by attorney Eric S Lumberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Law Offices of Eugene Lumberg and Eric S. Lumberg
He can claim it as separate property as a gift. However if wife used the car she may have a claim to the car or to something else. Consult with an attorney to discuss these issues fully.

What is a notice of non stipulation?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Anne Barbara Howard (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Anne B. Howard, A Professional Law Corporation
If your case is assigned to a commissioner you are supposed to stipulate to having a commissioner rather than a judge. Not a big deal generally. This probably means unless you object to the commissioner he will handle the case.
