I received a small settlement check from my divorce, which was forwarded to my lawyer's office. My lawyer is holding it and told me that I have to pay the balance of the attorney fee with that check by signing it over to her. I have been paying regularly and never signed anything stating that I would pay the balance with the settlement. Can they legally do that?

I am a missionary in Mexico for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and this will be my 8th year as a Pastor of an English speaking church in Zihuatanejo. In the past, I was involved in drug dealing and did time in the Federal system. I would like to be released from this as it will allow me to live full-time in Mexico for my family and my ministry there and to be able to travel to Canada to visit churches who want to support our ministry. Is there any hope in obtaining a pardon, and if so, what do I do?

We have over $70k in debt, our house is 2 months overdue, and we live in Florida while my husband works in California. I have secured a lawyer for custody issues due to potential foreclosure. 80% of the debt is in my husband's name only. My lawyer advised against filing bankruptcy. Can we put my car in my name only so my husband can proceed with bankruptcy without it being considered fraud?
