Legal Answers
73 Questions Answered
Q. I bought my house five years before i got married. my wife sign a quit claim. is that enough for me to keep property?
A: That's a good start, but you should have an attorney draft a written agreement for you and your wife to sign. This way you will make it clear that both of you intend that the home remains entirely your separate property. Characterization of property becomes complicated without an agreement as community property income is used to pay the mortgage, make repairs, and perhaps pay for upgrades.
Q. Does accepting ins. settlement in car accident prevent suing in civil court?>
A: Yes. As a condition of issuing the settlement draft, the insurance carrier will require that you sign a release of the insured. The release prevents you from having a meritorious case because the defendant would successfully raise the defense of 'accord and satisfaction'. An exception would be if there were more than one party at fault in the accident, you could sue the party or parties that you did not release, but this is very rare.
Q. Can a defendant in a limited civil suit (for$) DEMAND evidence of personal service other than proces server's affidavit
A: You can file a Motion to Quash Service of Process, and the court will hear evidence regarding whether or not you were properly served. This procedure is not used very often because it basically just delays the inevitable. For example, even if the plaintiff loses on the motion, he can just have you served again at the courthouse exit after the hearing.
