3 Questions Answered
Q. My husband divorced me 14 years ago. I am still living with him because he never paid me my settlement. Can you help me
A: You should have filed a motion to enforce your settlement 14 years ago. You never enforced it till now. Many changes have occurred between your divorce and your cohabitation. I think you really should retain a lawyer who focuses on matrimonial law and post-judgment divorce actions.
Q. If you have 35 days to file a written answer or motion, is it 35 calendar days or 35 business days?
A: The 35 day period references calendar days. If the end of the calendar period of 35 days ends on a weekend or a holiday you can file on the next business day. Under the rules, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are excluded.
Q. How long should it take for a lawyer to respond to his clients questions and inquires?
A: The lawyer should be responsive to your questions within 24-48 hours after you left a message. If the lawyer is not responsive, perhaps he or she is on vacation and unable to return. However, if after a reasonable time your lawyer never returns your calls he or she may be violating the rules of professional conduct under a 'communication with clients' section.
