I have a default judgment against an individual. The individual has insurance that likely covers the scenario that led to the default judgment. A "reach and apply" action is an action to make the insurance company answer for their insured. I would like to discuss how such actions work.
I have friend who is getting a lot of pressure from his Ukranian bride to change his whole life or she is leaving. I was wondering if she was doing this now because she had hit some amount of time where she could stay after a divorce.
She's a hot little number. But getting more and more demanding as time goes on. Also completely ignores him when it comes to spending money or most things really. Should have gone to China.
I don't directly, but I have good knowledge of whether a particular crime will get somebody deported. Not sure if that helps you.NCCommish said:
Poor guy waited for marriage. Until he was 42. He has no idea how to deal with women in a relationship and she is running him. He asked me to cover a shift for him last night so they can go to Disney World, which he cant really afford right now, and he sounded like he wanted to cry the whole time. I feel real bad for him.
The amateur psychologist in me says he doesn't want to admit failure. Everyone warned him. Did I mention she spent a lot of time as a Cam girl? But he told everybody he knew what he was doing. So here we are. Plus this is his first. I think we all know how powerful that can be, especially given he was in his 40s.
So, realistically, the immigration issues won't ever matter because he won't divorce her?
First first????
No, I don't need her. She's just remarkably bad. This should be a 45 minute deposition and she's going to turn it into 6 hours.
Did she get a green card? Not the conditional - an actual, permanent resident alien card?
We have one of these guys in my jurisdiction. He's actually a decent attorney but he constantly looks like a slob. I had a private mediation where we were arguing over a significant sum of money and he wore sweatpants and a tee shirt. He often wears sneakers and no tie to court and I swear one time he wore dark sweat pants to court that he thought would pass as suit pants. So weird.
I was in court a couple weeks ago and the judge refused to allow an attorney past the gate to argue because he wasn't wearing a tie. They don't do that around you?
Depends on the judge - and honestly - alot of our more routine hearings take place with us standing on the public side of the bar so unless the judge really looks at you he/she can't tell the pants and shoes you are wearing.
I've seen this happen once in my jurisdiction, but that was to a young "city lawyer" that the judge hadnt seen before and likely wanted to teach a lesson for thinking anything goes in my more rural jurisdiction. However, the attorney I'm talking about apparently has been doing this a long time. Combine that with the fact that he's usually on top of his pleadings and argues his cases competently, and the judges have all just appeared to give him a pass. Personally, I take no issue with it b/c he can't come across well to the general public making my office more likely to get the court lobby business.
TY.
Ok. I have no idea what to expect so that's why I asked. I was hoping there would be a rough timeline but I understand I'm asking a pretty vague question.
We could all give you some horror stories but no one in here will have the slightest clue unless they practice before the court your suit is in. These things vary wildly. You could be looking at anywhere from a couple months to well over a year.
Yeah, unfortunately, the question doesn't usually really turn on the legal issues themselves. How long a summary judgment opinion takes depends on the judge, the judge's staff, that Court's usual turnaround time, how busy the Court is right now, whether they understand the issues or have to research them, etc. etc. etc. And even if you win, there will be an appeal. So tack on 6 months to a year.
I had two SJ decisions take 18 months in the DDC and SDNY, respectively. When I was clerking the federal judges would rather be caught dead than have cases on their six month pending reports. It's weird.
She may still be in process of getting the permanent but I don't think she has it yet.
