My husband sold separate property 10 years ago and is using that money as a down payment on a new house with a $250,000 mortgage. He put only his name on the house and plans to put it in a trust for his kids. We live in Idaho. I believe that since we have a mortgage, the house should be considered community property. Can he legally do this without my involvement or rights?

I'm homeless and my car was impounded in California due to old registration. The DMV requires me to pay all debts to get the car back, including getting car insurance. I don't have the $2,700 needed and am unsure if any homestead or COVID-19 laws can help. Can impound fees be reversed for my situation?

I was charged in the UK with possession of a false instrument (a fake ID) under section 3 of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act of 1983. The offence is a hybrid offence, meaning it could be charged summarily with a maximum penalty of 6 months or on indictment with a maximum of 10 years. I was convicted summarily and received a 2-month suspended sentence. As the crime could have been charged either way, am I eligible for the petty offense exemption rule for US immigration purposes?

I have a child and my father gave permission for the passport, but now opposes international travel. The airlines stated a letter of consent isn't needed. Can he cause a legal issue for me if I travel with the child? I am in Florida, traveling to the Dominican Republic. We've never lived together, and there's no court parenting plan.
