My ex-husband is the owner of the policy. The bills have been addressed to him.

Ugh. That really isn't how I meant it. We started the policy for our son. I just want to make sure he's taken care of. It really isn't about the new wife. We split up long before they got together. I'll talk to him and see if he'll just change the beneficiary to our son, and I'll agree to keep...

My ex isn't very organized or even very responsible. I don't think he remembered about the policy because the annual premium bills still came to my address (his old address). When he lost his job, he was trying to figure out some way to get money and remembered about the life insurance. At...

What is the name of your state? Maryland If I purchased a used shirt bearing a logo (like Nike, for example,) from a thrift store and tie-dyed it, would it be legal for me to sell the shirt? Or if I were given several new shirts with a beer logo (like Guinness, for example,) would it be legal...

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD When my former employer permanently laid me off (because they were unable to pay me,) they owed me roughly $10K in a combination of regular wages, mileage, expenses, and bonuses. They have since repaid me roughly 2K in the 2.25 years since...
