How does a federal inmate file for divorce for free?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the prisoner is not going to contest the divorce, have the spouse file for an un-contested divorce in their local court. The case will eventually be heard and if the prisoner returns all the completed paperwork that he will be sent, there should be no problem with it.

Where you can complain about your landlord?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This depends on the type of complaint you're alleging.

Start with a complaint to the landlord themselves, in many jurisdictions you're required to give prompt notice to defects in the apartment, especially ones that can cause further damage (no heat, gas, water, roof leakages, etc).

If after a reasonable period of time (can be a matter of a day or two weeks depending on the issue and how quickly it can be fixed) the landlord does not correct the defects you can contact your local housing court to find out the procedures for a renters escrow.

A renters escrow is a bank account you open with the courts and deposit in your rent monies. The landlord does not get the money from this account until he shows that the repairs have been made satisfactorily. Landlords will face a penalty for the courts having to take this action.

If after a period prescribed by your local housing court the landlord does not correct the defects, the court can order the house to be inspected by local code enforcement and subsequently condemned if necessary. In the mean time, the court will grant you permission to quit your lease and seek new shelter.

At this point you should follow all standard move out protocols. Send your former landlord a certified (green slip) letter with a forwarding address and demand full return of your security deposit for breach of lease.

If your landlord fails to claim the monies with the court after a time prescribed by that court, you may return and collect the monies. In addition, If the landlord fails to return your security deposit, in some jurisdictions you may be allowed double damages. (i.e. $500 deposit not returned may be $1000 after court).

If the complaint against the landlord is in regards to a breach of lease, you can reversely evict your landlord. Which means you provide them with 30 days notice to quit the lease due to their breach, demand your security deposit back, and leave before the start of the new month. If the landlord keeps the deposit (as many will try), you may take them to small claims court and seek your security deposit back (in some states you can get double or treble!).

What do you do if a tenant won't sign the lease?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You do not allow them to move into the premises or you give up the idea of having the protection of a lease. Once you let them move in without signing a lease they are your problem. It should be noted that a tenant who refuses to sign a lease is giving you a loud message about what type of experience you can expect in the future.

Can a convicted felon own a black powder rifle in Vermont?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm quite sure it happens often. Your question doesn't qualify whether it's LEGAL, only whether they CAN. Of course they can, provided they have full use of both hands and at least one eye... besides having possession of a black powder gun and everything it takes to discharge one with a projectile.

Legally... since most black powder guns are not considered "firearms", it's also probably legal to do so. However... the question begs to be asked: why? It's begging for trouble, pushing the foil. They've been denied access to conventional modern firearms - why not get used to it & "walk away from the fence"?

Added; 18 USC (921 & 922) address convicted felon's possession of blackpowder arms and identify the only "lawful" type for them as "antiques" manufactured in (or before) 1899, or EXACT replicas of those firearms. Modern blackpowder arms ar prohibited to felons.

If does a legal document need to be attested?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whether a legal document needs attestation (or notarization) depends on the law of the jurisdiction. As a general rule if a document required such "at common law" then the similar document today might require it unless a statute eliminated the requirement.

Can you go jail for lying in family court?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It makes no difference WHAT type of court you lie in, you are lying to the judge and the court after having given an oath to tell the truth. You can be charged with perjury and/or contempt of court, and, since it is civil court, you can be fined instead of jailed.

Can you sign a legal document aged 16?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yeah right if they want to get arrested ! Minors can sign tax returns at any age, the catch is, if there is a problem with the filing the parents or legal guardian will be held responsible. Other documents both state and federal sometimes require the parents and the minor's signature, but any parent who has custody of the minor can sign any document on the minor's behalf. Regardless of the situation, parents and legal guardians are ALWAYS responsible for the minor child/children until they reach the age of majority, meaning whether the minor signs or not is irrelevant. The only exception is when the issue is one of medical care.

Does mortgage name have to match the deed even if same person?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO. The owner of the property must sign the mortgage and all the owners must sign if there are multiple owners. All the owners must consent to the mortgage so that in the case of a default, the lender can take possession of the property by foreclosure.

When you co-sign a mortgage for property that belongs to another person you have agreed to pay the loan if the principal borrower defaults. You have no rights nor interest in the property unless your name is on the deed. You have simply volunteered to pay for property you do not own.

Can a 17 year old sign a legal document in Missouri?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends upon the type of document that is being addressed. The legal age of majority for the state is 18, anyone entering into a legal contract for purchase of goods, (credit card, car loan, rental agreement, etc.) must be at least 18 and will usually need a cosigner. When the issue relates to something such as an affidavit a minor can sign such a statement but must have a parent, legal guardian and/or legal counsel present in most cases.
