Legal Answers
844 Questions Answered
Q. Who is the respondent for a posthumous QDRO in California when the ex-spouse is deceased?
A: The caption of your case does not change. It's the same case title that was used in the divorce and with the same case number. The issue is who signs the QDRO now that one of the parties is deceased. For that, you will need a "successor in interest" to be designated and to then sign on behalf of the deceased.
Q. Order of filing family law forms in California
A: Either way is fine (assuming you are referring to the Summons on Joinder, request for joinder and pleading on joinder). You can file with the court with your proof of service attached (i.e. serve first), or you file with the court first and then serve the "conformed copy" on the other party. And good for you, by the way. Most people never file the joinder paperwork while their divorce case is pending and instead either never file it at all or wait until after the case is over. This causes headaches for your later retained QDRO counsel. So again, good job!
Q. Are parents required to return the items owned by a minor they disowned in California?
A: "Child" ?? I'm assuming it's the "child" who is posting this question? Are you 18 or older? There is no legal concept of "disowning" a child. Without knowing what the legal relationship is between you and the parents in this scenario, without knowing your age, and without knowing in what manner the items were "taken away", it's not possible to answer this question.
