Legal Answers
3 Questions Answered
Q. Seeking compensation after car accident; driver at fault, total loss of vehicle and injuries.
A: You should contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to help you pursue compensation for your injuries, your grandsons’ injuries, your totaled vehicle, and your additional expenses. An attorney can assist you with filing a claim against the at-fault driver and their employer, who may be liable since the driver was working at the time of the accident. You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, pain and suffering, property loss, and increased vehicle costs. Your attorney will gather evidence, obtain witness statements, handle negotiations with the insurance companies, and make sure all deadlines are met. Since time limitations (statutes of limitations) apply to personal injury claims in California, do not delay seeking legal representation.

Q. How to modify alimony agreement to continue until remarriage instead of moving out as stated in May 2022 divorce?
A: You should contact a qualified family law attorney who handles post-judgment modifications of spousal support orders in California. To modify your alimony agreement, you will need to file a request for order (RFO) with the court and show that there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order. The court has discretion to modify spousal support terms if both parties agree or if circumstances warrant a change. It is generally advisable to first discuss the proposed modification with your ex-spouse to see if you can reach a written agreement, but you can file a motion even without their agreement. Because time limitations and procedural requirements apply, it is important to act before you move out and to seek legal advice promptly.

Q. Can I sue my ex for using fabricated evidence in California family court?
A: You should consult with a qualified family law attorney or, in some cases, a criminal defense attorney experienced in handling cases involving false evidence or perjury in California family court. If your ex is attempting to use fabricated evidence against you, a family law attorney can advise you on the best steps to protect your rights in your current family law case, including how to challenge the authenticity of the evidence. If the conduct rises to the level of fraud, perjury, or another criminal offense, a criminal defense attorney can advise you on possible legal remedies.

If your ex’s actions have damaged your reputation by making false statements about you to others, you may also want to speak with a defamation attorney. Defamation claims in California have specific legal requirements and time limitations, so it is important to act quickly if you believe you have been defamed.

Time limitations (statutes of limitations) apply to civil and criminal actions, including defamation, so seek legal advice as soon as possible to avoid missing any critical deadlines.
