Is it the husbands responsibilities to help his wife cope with all the pain of his affair?

  • The person that was cheated on is of course angry and their heart aches because they once trusted their mate. Once that bond of trust is broken it is extremely difficult to get back, but, if both couples work on it with marriage counseling there is always hope it can work out. No, it is not up to just the husband to have 100% of the responsibility to help the wife cope with the pain of the affair, but both couples must work together. There were problems brewing in the marriage before the cheating began and both spouses need to sit down, discuss it, then seek professional help. There are no brochures that come with marriage and humans make mistakes, but some mistakes can be rectified with professional help. There are many couples where one spouse has cheated (as long as they were not habitual cheaters) that have saved their marriage.

In most cases the debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate.

Can a creditor collect without a judgment?

Plain and simply yes a creditor can collect without a judgment as this is the whole reason that you were granted the credit from them in the first place because you made an agreement between the creditor and yourself that they would lend you so much on the agreement by you that you would pay back a minimum ammount each week or month or whatever you and the creditor agreed upon and so when you fail to pay as per agreement then the creditor has to apply for a judgment against you and depending on which kind of judgment is granted to them they may either be given the right to cease the property back if it is a car or an item and then theyre allowed tosell that in order to get their money back which you have failed to pay or they may be permitted to acquire your property and hold onto it until the debt owed by you is paid in full in which case it then will be returned to you and not before so the answer to your question is yes the creditor may collect your agreed payments but no they cannot cease the goods back without a court judgment being filed against you and granted in their favour.

My father's estate has been settled and now a large bill has arrived. Am I responsible for it?

Answer

First of all, a lot depends on the state and jurisdiction. Generally, though, if the estate was duly probated and notice was published there was a period during which a creditor could make a claim, otherwise a claim by the creditor is barred. In such legal matters however, it is always a good idea to consult with the attorney who handled the estate.

What is an IOU and what does it need to make it binding?

i believe it is a promise to pay someone for something/anythings between 2 or more people. To make it binding in some courts the verbal agreement with the intent to repay/replace whatever is being borrowed is good enough, but i would want it in writing if it was something very important to me i was lending. once its in writing its considered a contract. you can write a contract/iou/promise to pay on a cocktail napkin, a piece of a paper bag etc. As long as the signature of the person promising to pay back signs and dates it and a brief discription of the terms of the iou should be included also. U must be able to use the document to prove in court the person showed intent to repay/replace by giving you said document.
