- Q. What are the legal benefits of getting married before giving birth?
- A: There are many legal "benefits" to getting married. There is a presumption when a married woman gives birth that the husband is the father. This makes paternity cases less necessary and child support matters easier. There are legal issues regarding owning property as a non-married couple as opposed to a married couple. There are social security issues that differ as well.
- Q. Can you file an appeal when a judge makes orders while exercising emergency jurisdiction? Ny
- A: While there is a lot of information here there are some crucial details missing. Did the original court order in NY give the custodial parent permission to relocate? If not, did the custodial parent seek permission to relocate? Normally, a custodial parent does not have the right to relocate out of state without court permission, particulary if it interferes with parenting time of the non-custodial parent. As for your initial question, you can file an appeal on a temporary order and ask to stay the order pending appeal, but these things are rarely granted and the appeal can take a long time. Seek an attorney.
- Q. I lost my license ver 10 years (Suffolk County, NY). It was due to lapse of insurance, I missed the court date. Help..
- A: First you need to make sure you clear up everything with the DMV, pay any fines and, if you need, turn in your plates. Once that is cleared up, you need to clear up your situation with the SCTPVA. You need to pay whatever default fines were assessed. Speak to a traffic attorney.
