Question:

I have been married for eleven years, and for three of those years I have wanted a divorce. During the marriage, my wife had an affair and got pregnant. For nine years after that, I thought the child was mine but a DNA test proved differently.

Can I sue for parental fraud?

Ask A Lawyer: Is There a Time Period to Protest New Deeds?

Posted by pmcmahon in Spencer Williams , property issues , MO , fraud , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer


Question:

My father owned property prior to his second marriage which began 10 years ago. Three months ago, his 2nd wife told him that if he wanted to save their marriage, he would put her name on the deed. He's a sucker. He also signed for a new car for her.

She filed for divorce approximately 2 months after the deed and 1 week after getting the car.  Is there any sort of time period in which the new deed can be protested?

Ask A Lawyer: I Never Signed Those Papers!

Posted by Rick Ortiz in fraud , Erik Carter , Cordell Cordell, PC , Ask A Lawyer

Question:

I divorced my ex in 2004 and I was working out of town at the time so she actually filed the divorce.

After bringing me several drafts of the divorce decree I finally signed one. Now I am finding out that the home we owned was in the divorce stating that if sold we would split the proceeds. I know that was not in the one I signed, at least not to my knowledge, or I never would have signed it. As soon as I realized it was in the final draft I had her sign a quit claim deed releasing her interest in the property.

Is a quit claim deed a legal binding document that would negate what is in the divorce decree? I had to refinance the mortgage to pay off a credit card, then I sold the home about 6 months later. I did not make any money at the sale of the house, I actually had to pay at closing. Now she is sueing me for not splitting the refinance amount that I used to pay off my credit card. Do I have any grounds to refuse?

Ask a Lawyer: Annulment of a six month marriage

Posted by Dads Divorce in short , Rules , Procedures , mistake , marriage , fraud , divorce , Ask A Lawyer , AR , annulment

Question:

My brother has asked me to help him with his "situation". He lived in Ocala, Fl. and met a woman there who he lived with on and off for a few months. He moved to Arkansas in 2005 and lived there for 5 months. In January of 2006 the woman drove up to AR from FL and he married her. They've been married a little more than 5 months. My brother now realizes he made a terrible mistake and he wants out of the marriage, she does not. They have now lived apart for a month. Is there any way he can get the marriage annulled or will he have to go through a divorce?

Answer:

Allow me to preface my answer to your question with the disclaimer that I am not licensed to practice law in the state of Arkansas or Florida. Generally, he will need to file for divorce. A change of heart is generally not grounds for annullment. The law of the states in which I practice require fraud, one party not of age, one party already wed, and the like. Annullment is very uncommon. He needs to file for divorce. The sooner the better.
