Joint Petition

Question: How do I file a joint petition for divorce in Nevada? My ex and I are currently trying to file the proper paperwork to finalize our divorce, the problem I am currently encountering is that in order to sign the divorce papers it needs to be notarized by someone in Nevada, as I do not live there this is very difficult without making a trip there myself. Is there a way I can sign the papers where I am and have him sign and file the papers in Nevada?

How long once filed does it finalize? One more thing..the wife soon to be ex..can she move back to her country or does she have to wait for everything to be finalized??thanks!!!

Answer: You will have to appear in front of a judge or magistrate to say yes I want this divorce. I don't know about the soon 2bx if she needs to stay here until it is final. I am sure every state will do things a little differently so you may want to consult an attorney first. usually you can get a free consultation and you could ask then, even if you want to keep the attorney of it.

Question: Confused about joint sponser and petition sponser on the I-864 form-can't use the income of both people? The application claims that the petitioning sponser can't combine their income with a joint sponser to be enough for the required income requirements...why is this?

Answer: Primarily because the petitioner and the joint sponsor don't share their income or expenses, since normally, they don't live together. A husband and wife who do share income and expenses could do that, but they would file together on the I-864, not separately, with one or the other acting as a joint sponsor.

Question: i sent the joint petition to my husband and he hasn't set it back? should i just do a petition for a divorce if he's just stalling he agrees with everything expect the child support...he says its to much

Answer: You don't get to set the amount of child support. That is determined by the court based upon both his and your incomes and the needs of the child. If he doesn't agree he has to "answer" or respond within a certain time frame or you will be granted a default decree of divorce. YOU should not be contacting him anyway. You should be doing everything through lawyers.

Question: Joint Petition for Custody-Alabama? I need a format of a joint petition for custody involving adoptive grandparents giving custody back to natural mother.

Answer: The best place to find one would be to go to clerk's office for the court handling this case. Ask them for a copy of one someone else has done. They may have to think for a while to come up with one, but that's okay, they're working on your dime.

Question: Is there a standard way in English to identify the husband and wife in a joint divorce petition? I'm helping someone translate a document from German to English; in German the word "petitioner" has both a masculine and a feminine form and that word is used often in the document. (So, the petitioner (male) will do this; the petitioner (female) will do that.)

Answer: Though I dont have legal or law related background. But as per my knowledge, in the legal or court documents, in the beginning its defined like Mr.abc (hereinafter called as 'petitioner 1') and Mrs, xyz(hereinafter called as 'petitioner 2).

Question: Will Liberals petition the Joint Chiefs of Staff not to attack Iran (like they did Bush) if Obama orders it? Obama has made it clear he will not.allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, even if it means military force. Will Liberals hold Obama to the same standard as Bush and claim any premptive attack is illegal? Would the Joint Chiefs even listen?

Answer: As long as it is Barack Obama who is giving the order, then as far as the Radical Leftists are concerned it is all permissible and perfectly legal. To the Radical Leftist way of thinking such an order is only illegal and not permissible if the order is not given by a Radical Leftist. If the order is given by a Radical Leftist, that makes the order OK, as far as the Radical Leftists are concerned.

Question: Family court joint petition? Hi,me and wife applied for joint petition via same advocate, I never wished for divorce, but wife due to mental issues she hates me and her parents agreed to go for joint petition. court ordered for counselling which is no use and failed ,she never wants to live with me. my next hearing dated on march end 2009. can i get divorce on next hearing ? or it will be extended for another 6 months. on mar end it will complete 6 months. since joint petition is there any issu in delaying the court decesion? waiting for your valuable answer

Answer: The first motion for Divorce by mutual consent was jointly moved by both of you & a next date of hearing as in the end of March,2009 was fixed by the Family Court,when you both again appear in person for moving second motion for divorce. This six month date get delayed only if either of you fail to appear on the next date of hearing fixed & move a joint second motion for divorce once again, in that case the court will either dismiss the divorce petition or fix another date (which is the usual practise in such cases) for both parties to appear in person & finally seek divorce by mutual consent or withdraw both or either of their consent for divorce. Before the decree of divorce is issued the court has to be satisfied that both parties have neither withdrawn their free consent for divorce nor there is any compromise to live together between them after the counselling as ordered by the court in its previous date.

Question: A wife was asked to sign a joint petition for mutual divorce along with sec7 of Act 1984. Maintenance claimed? A wife was grabbed of her sacred thalli(mangalsutra) and sent to her house as she questioned of the husband's and in laws' truthfullness about the husband's qualification and job as he had lied on these matters .This was done 3 months after marriage . 3 months after separation he has sent a lawyer's notice stating that he wants mutual consent divorce as he cannot live with her hereafter as she has broken the thalli (mangalsutra) and that there are no financial entanglements between them and no pregnancy through this relationship. The Girl got frustrated by their deeds and thought to get relieved from these filthy people she sent a reply notice stating that though she doesnot accept the allegations made by him she is willing to give divorce by mutual consent but at her own hometown which is 700 kms from her husband's. But 1and1/2 months later he sent papers of joint petition which are to be signated and sent back to the husband for him to file the joint petition at his hometown. Moreover the petition has been drafted under ther Hindu marriage Act1955 SECTION 13B and Family Courts Act 1984 SECTION 7. In the Family Courts Act 1984 ,Section 7 has a subdivision-b with another inner division1-f which states "Jurisdiction for a suit for maintenance".My doubt is whether the husband is trying to claim any maintenance from the wife through this Act by giving false allegations about the breakage of the relationships by the wife and so that he should be granted compensation for breakage of marriage. Can the wife claim from him ? She was forced to sign a document on the day he broke the mangalsutra stating that she has taken all her jewels and things from his house and that she returned the mangalsutra with her own consent. Are there any possibility that the husband can claim compensation from this wife who is a doctor and the husband is a non graduate who has cheated her that he is a graduate with a good job in software. Though the wife need no compensation she do not want to be cheated again by giving compensation to him. What she should do?

Answer: The fact the petition drafted under section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 has to be jointly signed by both parties, followed by joint statement made on the day of first motion which is too jointly signed by both parties & their thumb impression taken on the statement sheet. Even if the husband sent this joint petition draft for signature by his wife, unless the wife is present in person on date of first motion & carry out the process as explained above, this petition under section 13B HMA has no value. The jurisdiction of the court where the husband resides has been chosen on the ground that the parties last resided together at the said district of the Family Court. As far the claim of Maintenance/Alimony from the wife during the pendency of the case or after the decree of divorce being granted by the court, that all depends on the actual income/source of income of both parties & their individual needs/requirements, there are section 24 & 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 for these under which this will be granted or rejected by the court. The wife should avoid signing any such draft petition sent to her & insist that the divorce by mutual consent will take place in the same district where she is now residing. She should also refuse for any maintenance/alimony for the working husband under the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 rather this should be her fore most condition for agreeing for any divorce by mutual consent. Another suggestion to the wife is to file Petition under section 12(1)(c) of the Hindu Marriage Act,1955 for annulment of the marriage on the basis of fraud being committed by the husband by taking her consent for marriage by misrepresentation/non-disclosure about the relevant facts about him i.e. his educational back ground, income etc. As far the Family Court Act,1984 is concerned that is the procedural statute with regard to Family Court formation, its working & jurisdiction etc, the decree of dissolution of marriage or order for maintenance/alimony etc are concerned that has to be made under the specific substantive statute such as the Hindu Marriage Act,1955.

Question: Can we file a joint petition for divorce if we have a minor child? Just wondering if anybody knows if its possible to file a joint petition for divorce when we have a child. We haven't lived together for 6 months, so we are basically already divorced without the papers, and we agree to everything. Not much will change besides we won't be legally married. I want to file jointly because its such an easier process and less hassle, but we do have a minor child together. So far all I've seen is filing jointly when no kids or property is involved. We don't have a house or anything major to fight about. We agree to visitation and child support and so on.. Anyone have any ideas on this? I live in NH if that matters.
