What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Louisiana I own a small business and bid some work for a local municipality. A local engineering firm is managing this job, as well as other work being completed by the municipality. Our company was notified that we were the low bidder on the...

Pretty basic... Consumer filed bankruptcy, debt was discharged. Now credit card co. is going after consumer's fiance (authorized user) for the entire debt. Not sure what the contract terms on the card were, etc. but assuming the contract stated that anyone using the card becomes valid for...

Thanks! Thanks for the info! Can you point me towards any case law that would get me started with research on this - authorized user/liable for a portion/etc.? I'm in the middle of a project and just coming up blank. Obviously details are different, etc. but if I could just get a starting point.

What is the name of your state? LA I read a post by you regarding authorized users on a credit card. From your post you indicated that an authorized user COULD be held liable for an account. I need to know several things: 1. Can the credit card company SUCCESSFULLY demand payment from the...

What is the name of your state? Louisiana I received a phone call last week from a collections agency regarding a debt that had been turned over to them. It was a medical debt that was being sent to the wrong address. According to the collections agency, they will have had the debt for 60...

No. Not unless the college support was originally agreed to by the parents in a divorce or custody decree. Otherwise, CS ends when the child turns 18. You could possibly go to court and get until 19 if the child is still in High school. But no college. The kid will just have to get a job...

OR consider adoption? Life isn't going to be easy on your daughter....no matter how much assistance she gets. There's plenty of loving, caring individuals who would love the opportunity to raise this child...and your daughter could move on with her dreams and goals. Just food for thought....

Do you intend to pursue this in TX or in CO?

A quit claim deed will not remove your name from the mortgage. Your ex-husband will need to refinance the home in his name or sell it in order to remove you from the liability. I'm surprised this wasn't settled in your divorce. Was the property never divided/settled?

I believe you're correct about the daycare service....if your papers explicitely give you right of first refusal, then the child should be with you if you are available after school. He is also in contempt of court for denying you your visitation. I would suggest starting to enforce, or...

I second that Bloomer. CS is not alimony...if both parties are equally sharing in the physical care of the child, then the child support should reflect this.

Not sure about other states statutes... In LA (community property state)... She would be due 1/2 of the 401K attributable to the marriage - some will settle it as 1/2 the BALANCE as of the date of the termination of community or 1/2 of the current balance if no seperate contributions were...

Oh lordy...been there, done that.... Just let your insurance company handle it. We have BCBS and just called and made their fraud division aware of our suspicions (i.e. excessive visits on EOB, no visible problems when child was in our care, mother's aunt was office manager). They handled it...

I'm glad to hear things are going well.... It's great that you're being flexible with her...just be on guard, the niceness can turn to ugliness VERY quickly. I'm sure it will look great that you are being flexible with her as well. Just remember, it's not about her and how horrible she is...
