Separation Agreement Property Settlement AgreementA legally enforceable, spousal contract settling all matters. Generally not referred to as a divorce agreement. since only the court can grant a divorce. If the parties fail to reach an agreement, the case goes to trial, and the court's decision and judgment is substituted. Court's judgments are modifiable based on a material change in circumstances. An agreement may be either modifiable or unmodifiable (surviving). Typically, these agreements settle issues relating to: 1. Asset and liability division 2. Alimony, health, and life insurance 3. Legal and physical custody, child support, visitation, medical insurance and expenses, and college. Question: Divorce Property Settlement, Separation/Parenting Agreement? I have not been divorced before and would like to learn from anyone who's been there any tips on what I should remember, consider when coming up any of these agreements? Or if you did/missed writing something that has affected you and your children, even your ex-spouse greatly after the divorce? Thank you for any help. I am doing my research at the library too. If it helps you at al, I am divorcing in Virginia.
Question: Consent Order for Property Settlement? I am transferring a property from my de facto to myself as we have parted ways. My bank require a separation agreement advising the settlement outcome, however my legal representative advises a "consent order" is a more formal and fool proof way to approach this.
Apparently a de facto is able to seek out property and valuable assets like superannuation and my car which is only in my name! Since when? We arent married and our relationship is not legally binding.
They want to charge 1500-2000 for this order. Is it worth it?
Question: Urgent help needed? My ex husband and I signed a separation and property settlement agreement but I’m the only one that complied with it. During our divorce trial my ex made outlandish claims and lied about pretty much everything. My ex owes me money but I was willing to let it go if he’d comply with the agreement. The judge didn’t even acknowledge the separation agreement. Do I have the legal right to sue him for the things he agreed to in our agreement?

I have a lawyer but he thinks the supreme court will up hold the original verdict.
Question: Property settlement issue? I recently left my husband due to lots of emotional abuse, constant fighting, him refusing to meet me halfway and also him altogether stopping talking to me, the last episode of which lasted 1 1/2 - 2 months. Ugh. I also played my part in acting a fool however never treated him as poorly as he did me. So anyway I moved and hadn't spoken to him in the weeks since I left until today. He has contacted me via his lawyer twice saying he wants me to sign a property settlement agreement (he wants to keep our marital home). I personally cannot afford the mortgage on my own however, I always told him I thought we should sell the house. He has such an obsession with the house.
Today we spoke and he told me he never wanted a divorce, that he has no trust in me since I left him one day without telling him (he was acting funny right before I left and I was scared at what his reaction would be if I left), that he never wanted any of this to happen to us and that we could try a separation first and at the end "see what happens" but that he wants me to immediately sign over the title of our house to him. Why would he want me to do that? If he really wants to make things work, why would he keep bringing up the house, right? He's quit adamant about me signing it to his name. I just do not know.
He never sent me flowers or called me saying he misses me/loves me/wants to make it work during allt his time, just called me about utility/gas bills/and to find out where I was living so his lawyer could contact me.
Advice please?
P.S. I will be retaining my own lawyer and definitely will not sign anything until I talk to the lawyer.
So in him asking me to sign this immediately, does it mean he does not at all want to reconcile truly after our separation? I am so lost on what his intentions are!
Question: Do I have to "answer" a divorce complaint? Everything is done, the separation agreement, property settlement, all been taken care of and settled and it's states that in the divorce complaint. If I do not disagree w/anything on the complaint and do not contest the divorce can it just go ahead w/o me filing an answer? I called the county clerk and she said that I do not have to do anything unless I disagree w/the terms. They have to send me a copy of everything that's filed and that's all the complaint is and I do not have to go to the hearing b/c if they were going to try to change anything or take away what's already been given, they would have had to notify me of that change and they have not. Just looking for a simple answer if I will be ok not answering the complaint since I do not disagree w/anything and want it to move forward but don't want to get screwed if there's a way for them to do that..
Question: Some Questions about Divorce? 1. Is it considered as divorced after signing the Separation and Property Settlement Agreement.
2. What is the procedure to get divorced?
3. Is there more paper to sign after the Separation and Property Settlement Agreement?
Question: Why do some women feel they are entitled to more than half of community property if a marriage doesn't work? My ex-wife and I filed for a legal separation and I was falsely led to believe that if I signed this document, as well as a property settlement agreement (so she could remain in the house), she would agree to split everything fairly should she decide to "move on" with her life. (2-year later) She now is going back on her word to me. We were married for 21 years. Need assistance?
Question: How do I withdraw my sponsorship for immigrant? I have recently come to believe that my husband only married me for a green card. Stupid, I know. He was so charming before he got that "conditional" green card and did a total 180 afterward. I have suffered mental abuse, neglect, him throwing'breaking things, gone to therapy (alone sine he only went to ONE marriage counselling session w/ me), been ignored for weeks/months without a word from him, found out he had a personal ad online looking for sex with strangers (made a copy) and lastly, him telling me he would put me in the emergency room if I left him and met another man. He told me he was recording all of our conversations! Of what? Of him talking down to me and acting rude?! I couldn't take it anymore and left him about 2 weeks ago. Did it while he was at work so that he wouldn't suspect (also cause he has anger issues). He also condescendingly told me, They won't take my green card away! Why would he say that?!? I'm pretty sure he's been to a lawyer about this already. He even sent me papers with his lawyer re: property settlement agreement stating he wants to keep the home we own! WTF! There is no potential for a reconciliation between us and I curse the day I met this man. He also hid all of his immigration documents & tax return info from me when I asked for it, also took my engagement ring & hid it from me, refusing to give it back.
How do I withdraw my sponsorship from him? Is there a form I need to fill out? I don't have any documentation since he hid everything. Our state requires 6 months separation without children and I just left 2 weeks ago. That means we could have a divorce by end of March/April. His 2-year conditional green card expires 4/8/10. I'm positive this slimeball has already tried to remove the conditions. I am not going to sign anything for him & I cannot believe I was hoodwinked and will never believe he married me in good faith. He went as far as to refuse to never put a bank account in both of our names. I've severed all contact from him as I cannot waste another breath on him. He seriously hurt my heart/soul. :( Advice?

Question: If New Zealand was to become a republic, would the Treaty of Waitangi still apply? New Zealand is currently a contitutional monarchy. When it was a British colony, the Crown representatives signed an agreement between the native inhabitants (the Maori) offering them ownership of their lands and other properties, and gave Maori the rights of British subjects.
My question is, if New Zealand was to become a republic (formally announcing complete separation from the Crown) would the treaty between the Crown and Maori still be recognised?
