After a separation agreement has been signed, can a wife re-work the agreement? She is threatening to take my entire paycheck, yet she wrote and signed the agreement just like I did. We have joint custody of children, I pay health insurance for her, both our kids, and her biological child from a previous marriage. I also pay some home utilities per our agreement. Besides adhering to the separation agreement, is there anything else I should be doing to protect myself?

I recently bought a home in New Hampshire and live with my girlfriend, her children, and my own children. We have been back together for 2 years after a 1-year breakup. I have paid for everything, including the mortgage, loan, and household bills, while she contributes nothing and has no job. We have never been married. I want to know if she can claim any rights to my house if we split up, as I have worked hard to save and buy it.

My wife's license was suspended for non-payment of a ticket in Lake George, New York. She then received a ticket in Suffolk County for driving with a suspended license. On the eve of the court date, her father-in-law passed away, and she did not go to court. She has a copy of the death certificate. Can she get another court date? Can she be arrested for not showing up? How can we get another court date? Should we get a lawyer? Thank you for your help.

Should I have been summoned to appear in court by mail after being accused of physical violence, and what happens if an officer does not read me my rights during arrest and tries to question me while being booked?

Somebody is trying to serve me a subpoena regarding a dog bite from two years ago. I have not officially been served yet, but I am intentionally blocking efforts and she has threatened to come with a cop tomorrow to serve me. Additionally, if I am served, I will have to go into court for this and I do not have much money for an attorney. What should I do?

My fiancée has been involved with DYFS all her life and chose to keep her case open for monetary and medical support. We recently found out we are having a baby and requested to close her DYFS case. We moved to Delaware to stay with my parents until we can afford our own place, but her case worker refused to bring the papers to close the case and mentioned she might need to ask her supervisor. Since then, she has been receiving threatening calls from her mother. Do we legally have any threat of losing our child? Are they just playing games with her to keep her case open? What are our rights, and are there any ways to get DYFS out of our lives for good (such as marriage, which we are planning before the baby is born)?
