How can you get child support if you have full custody?

If you have full custody of your child, you may be wondering whether you will still have to pay child support. Child support exists to help the child's needs be met, and there are plenty of things that a non-custodial parent can do that would benefit the child—and hence, qualify as "child-related expenses".

Some people mistakenly believe that they cannot get child support if they have full custody because they don't need it. However, this isn't true: in most states, only a portion of your income and/or assets are considered when determining how much support you might owe. For example, if your expenses exceed your income, the court could decide that you need more money than it would consider reasonable to cover those expenses, and so it would order you to pay more than the minimum amount required under the circumstances.

If you have full custody, the other parent is still obligated to pay child support. If you are in Utah, please call the family law attorneys below, they can help you with child support.

Can I take out a student loan while in Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Maybe. It is possible to take out a student loan under chapter 13 bankruptcy protection . You would need to get permission from the court, which would require you to file a motion to incur debt. This can be complex and you do need to know bankruptcy law to do this and have both a factual and legal basis for doing so. I suggest speaking with a bankruptcy lawyer to make sure it’s done correctly. It makes sense when you think about it—if your goal is to make sure the loan will be repaid, why wouldn't the lender want to make a deal with you? After all, if they don't lend money to those with sizeable assets, then their chances of getting repaid go down. The government has a rule which says that those who file for bankruptcy cannot be denied federal aid and other things they were receiving prior to filing. In other words, if you were eligible for a federal loan before filing bankruptcy but were not given one due to credit issues and so got one from another source instead, then t

Can someone name you as an executor on their will without your permission?

Image
The short answer is “yes.”  In one movie, a man named his friend as executor of his will without asking him first. The friend was happy about being named but then realized that his own father was also named in the will to help him out. His father wasn't thrilled about being asked to help out and gave his son such a hard time that he died before completing the job. It's common for people to have a friend whom they trust and want to name as an executor of their will. But if you're that person, how do you feel about being named? It's helpful to understand what the role of an executor entails: The role of executor is all about seeing the estate through to the end. This means making funeral and burial arrangements, paying off debts, sorting out any tax issues, and collecting assets and distributing them as appropriate. In Utah, we call executors “ personal representatives ” of the estate. In addition to the grief, you may be experiencing at the loss of your loved one
