I have an important question regarding the legal ownership of a bank account. My parents divorced and I lived with my mother in Ohio, but my father lives in Pennsylvania. When i was very young he opened up a bank account in Pennsylvania for saving bonds, monetary gifts, etc… I believe the account was a joint custodial account with both of our names on it. I’m now 21 and studying to be a lawyer and trying to find out how I can get this money in the account. Do you know any type of legal issues or statues that I can raise when trying to obtain my money. Thank you
I really can’t give specific advice without knowing more, Nick. If you would like to contact me directly, I would be happy to discuss the situation with you and see if I can be of assistance.
Hey Mark can you update the All Things Pennsylvania Family Law Blog link to http://www.pafamilylaw.net? Thanks
Mark,
I came across your website doing some research relative to searches about the collaborative practice of law in PA. I am gratified to see the information your blog provides about the alternatives of mediation and collaborative law to the traditional adversarial system; it is my belief that every divorcing couple (and every family in legal dispute) should be advised of process options for resolution. Are you a trained mediator or collaborative attorney? Do you have a group of colleagues who are also committed to providing choices for families in dispute? Please consider joining the Collaborative Law Sub-Committee of the PBA ADR Committee which I co-chair with Connie Brunt in Harrisburg. Also, contact me if I can provide any information or support to you about including collaborative law in your current practice. btw…it is great to see that Dustin has listed websites for the PA collaborative practice groups. Contributions from each of us can make a difference for PA families. Best to both of you! dh
I have a substantial mobility disability and severe chronic pain.
My husband had decided that I have no worth and do contribute financially. He basically reduces his invome and earns $$$ under the table. He does pay basics and wants to come and go out of the house and verbally abuses and sometimes gets violent. I have been told since he pays his “fair share that I should not ask for more support.
I only get 200.00 weekly for three of us and my son has autism. I have substantial educcation and he refuses to sell our house and threaten to let it be foreclosed. I need surgery and my kids are now getting to the point where I cannot supervise them adequately.
Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Dorrie Iltis Cooper Psy.D.
Mark Jakubik,
I read the article in the paper Philly Burbs, titled “Unhitched” and may have been married by an internet ordained minister. That was Oct. 2004 and I have no way of contacting him. I was put in touch with the minister through a friend who I have lost touch with. Also I am currently seperated from my wife and I have filed for divorce. How do I find out 1. if the minister is legally allowed to perform the ceremony? 2. if I am legally married? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Steven Costanzo
Hi Mark ,
Im so glad I found this site, I hope you can answer a question for me, a friend of mine has 4 kids , now the first two are his biological and the last two are not , they have different fathers from two different men (and yes he and his wife are in a divorce right now because of the infidelity she has cause to this marrage) , now here is my question he does pay child support for all 4 kids ever since he left her, even though the last are not his , and she put his name on both of the younger ones birth certifcate , (the fathers of the two youngest ones don’t want anything to do with them) now no one knows that the two younger ones are not his the whole family thinks this because the x-wife doesn’t want to let anybody know , he even has this secret too , the two older kids are 14 and 18 , the ones that are biological his , I think they should know that the two younger ones aren’t their brothers , I believe the truth shall set you free , but he doesn’t know what the reprocustion s will be, now can the soon to be x do anything legally if he tells his older kids the truth about the younger ones real father , can she take him to court and have him removed from the youger ones life , since he his not the real father? This is weighing on his mind big time , cause the 14 and 18 need to here the real truth. She also doggs him every chance she gets , so of course the kids think he his, just the two older ones do , he has vistion with all of them , and he does everything he can for them as much as possible , the two younger ones are 3 and 4 , if you can help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,
Emily
