Abandonment and divorce – how is property distributed in PA?

If a husband packs his bags and leaves the house, wife and kids (15 and 22 yr olds), how is property distributed? They live in a fully paid-off house in Pennsylvania.

I believe this is referred to as “Actual Desertion”. The wife wants him to stay but he left and basically abandoned everything.

Would he still have a right to claim 50% of the property?

If joint custody custody is specified in my divorce papers, can I take my 15.5 year old out of state to live, or would it be considered kidnapping without my ex-husband’s written permission. Also the court has nothing to do with the custody, but I collect child support, so do I also need their permission to do this, even if I’m willing to give up the child support? I live in Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

Question about dog custody / ownership in Pennsylvania? NOT divorce-related. Help desperately needed!?

Hi
My son bought a dog in August and, even though I didn’t want a dog, I gave in and let him bring him home because he promised that if it wasn’t working out, he’d re-home him. Things were okay at first – but before I knew it, I was the primary caregiver for his dog, Boris. Now, my son does work a full-time job and *is* biologically forced to chase girls (he’s twenty years old lol) at any opportunity, but I quickly grew weary of taking care of his dog most of the time. I’ll be fair, he did take him out for runs and walks when he could, but it seemed too little for me. Anyhoo, long story short: I gave Boris to the parents of a good friend of my daughter’s. HUGE mistake. My son is EXTREMELY upset and wants his dog back. When we talked and he realized that I’m serious about him spending more time with his dog, we agreed that he could get him back. As luck would have it, the wife of my daughter’s friend happened to call about a few problems with Boris. (They have two other dogs, and Boris is a pit bull.) She was sending him back over, but unfortunately, her husband decided to be an ***. Said that his son (seven years old) had become attached to him. (In twenty four hours?!) And in spite of me begging him, refuses to return the dog. Soooooo, we’re going to the magistrate because the dog was never actually mine to begin with (and we can prove that) and I had no right to give him away. But I suck at web searches and can’t find any cases or laws to cite that aren’t divorce-related that I can present to the magistrate. Any help would be deeply appreciated, and thank you from the bottom of my heart
Our Boris:

http://i42.tinypic.com/21bnq69.jpg

MamaBas: All due repsect, but I did mention that my son does now understand that he needs to spend more time with him. And attached in twenty-four hours? That’s the same thing kids that age do with toys – which are quickly forgotten and discarded. Perhaps I didn’t explain the situation thoroughly enough. But this dog is loved and he IS coming back to my home – just under new rules this time. I’ve been tied down since I was nineteen, raising my kids, and I’m just not willing to have a new responsibility dumped on me willy-nilly. That’s all. I really don’t mind looking after him most of the time – just not all of the time. I just was hoping for some help as in case law to cite, not a lecture. But thank you anyway. Peace.
Rayven: The chasing girls thing was CLEARLY a joke. (Did you miss the “lol”?) He doesn’t need to chase girls. He’s lucky enough to have an utterly gorgeous girl with a heart of gold who loves him. Maybe I was just trying to lighten up a subject that’s seriously eating at me? Duh……
Chix: You are clearly an A S S H O L E. This dog was NOT neglected. You don’t know the whole story, in PA dogs ARE property, and you’re clearly cowardly pond scum who’s venting because of your own frustrations in your miserable effing life, anonymously, over the web. I asked for case law citations. Derrrrrr. Have a nice mouth rinse or two, hon, and then try again. Effing loser asshole.
I am indeed in Pennsylvania, boston… And to the magistrate’s office I’ll be going Tuesday morning

in august i took my raised seal divorce papers into the banking center in new egypt nj they told me with my birth certificate that i can not change back to maiden name, i then moved to Montana, keeping the bank accounts due to my child support and alimony were direct deposited to those accounts. i called them as i was moving in November so they wouldn’t flag my card as i used it for some type of stolen card, when i got to Montana in DEC i changed my address on their online banking. since i have called them at least 30 times trying to get the name change done. they have continued to change my address back to the new jersey address causeing them to keep telling me they cant change my name due to recent address change, im not changing my address they are. in addition to this its over a year now that i have been ordered to change my name in the divorce, i was informed i could be found in a fraud case against me for not changing my name. also when i moved my sons birth certificate was lost and the government wont give me a new one as my license is in my maiden name, and my banking info is in my married name and they also will not accept a raised seal divorce degree. i need by all mean to get the bank to stop fighting me and change my name, they want me to drive 2000 miles to a banking center to change my name, because they dont offer a center in my new state. im a single mom, and do not have that kind of money to travel back to a banking center. they are able to do it by phone, but refuse to as they said i keep changing my address. i now am not sleeping at night worring what can be done to me if my ex husband wants to press charges against me this has been an ongoing fight for months and it isnt right, the bank could of fixed this easy but THEY keep messing my info up and im paying the price. Please help, im tired of the banks taking advantage of the little people they need to be held responciable for thier actions, they same as i would be.
can i sue them to make them accept my legal documents and for the agrevation and causing me to be illegal? and as a single mom with limited income, how do i get a lawyer? or does the bank get away with discriminating against me.
yes i have offered them the updated drivers license, the divorce papers i gave them have the raised seal and the judges signature it is the origanal divorse order that the moter vichel accepted. again they said because the address has changed they can not do anything,
AS for the comment about moving the child away from the father, the father lost his rights to the child years ago for abusing him ordered by a judge. ty for your concern tho. even if your comment has nothing to do with the issue.

Would you want to read this? ?

I’m in the process of writing a story, and I wanted to get some feedback on it! =) It wouldn’t be enough to just give you all the first page, so here’s a summary (even though it’s kinda long to call a summary, haha. Oh, and the events are much more spread out and detailed in the actual story) I know it looks long, but please read it all!

The story starts off with Anna Clark (full name Annalise; main character; story told from her point of view) on a bus back to her old town, a small community of farms, a farm supply shop, a grocery; the kind of place where everyone knows everybody. She’s staying with her grandparents, grumpy old Lydia and clueless but warmhearted Gramps. Previously living in the city a year ago, she is forced to move back after her parents were murdered by a man with a gun. (don’t back out yet, the story isn’t all depressing!) Upon arriving in the town, she takes a short tour to see if anything has changed. Amazingly, someone has built a large mansion in the tiny farm community, but Anna overlooks it, assuming that it’s just an old, rich man with nothing better to do. At the end of her “tour”, Anna drops by her dad’s friend’s farm supply shop (friend’s name = Tom Silverton). There she learns from Tom’s son Nick that the mansion is actually the home of the Othello family, and that there will be a party there the next day. (note: Nick was Anna’s boyfriend before she moved, and the two promised to get back together and attend the same college after completing high school. When Anna and Nick reunite, she tells Nick that such promises are “childish” and “unnecessary”. Their relationship problems will tie in later) Anyway, the next night Nick takes Anna to the mansion party and she slips away to explore the huge house. She finds herself in the mansion’s massive library where she discovers the Othello’s son and heir to the family business, Asher Rei Othello. As Anna befriends the reclusive Asher, she learns that his parents are actually divorced and he is living with his mother and step father. As they become even closer, Anna reveals to Asher that her parents were murdered and the name of the man who did it. The problem? The murder is Asher’s real father, Samuel Ridge (sentenced to death)(Asher’s mother and step dad changed his last name to Othello to avoid him having the last name of a murderer). Because of this, Asher keeps to himself and avoids opening up to anyone but Anna. But Houston, we have another problem… unbeknownst to anyone but himself, Ridge was framed. He’s the only person who knows the real killer, but no one is allowed to visit him in prison. Can Anna, Asher, and Nick figure out the identity of the real culprit, before Ridge’s time is up?

Anna (sixteen)convinces Asher(seventeen) and Nick(sixteen) to team up with her to look into the case, but with both boys after Anna, teamwork is the last thing they’re looking for.

So that’s the summary! I tried to make it clear and not too packed with unneeded details, but the plot is kind of complicated…

-What can I improve on?
-Is this something you would read?
-Please keep in mind that I’m typing this summary up at 2am, haha =)
-This is my first story that I’m really serious about writing, please try not to smash my hopes if it’s not the best thing you’ve ever heard of.
-If you have questions about the plot that would help you critique it better, please ask and I’ll update this question to answer it for you!

Thank you!

need help with ex-husband issues?

I am looking for people that are divorced and have kids, to answer. I have a very controlling,verbally abusive ex. He pays his child support through DR, right out of his check. He expects me to pay for EVERYTHING else for the kids. ALL sports, lessons, school supplies and the whole nine yards. He also tries to demand that I send clothing for the kids, which I did till a few weeks ago. I now send them with clean, appropiate clothing on and they wear it back home. He should be able to provide clothing for his kids. The kids get very upset, because he won’t allow them to have playdates or go to birthday parties on his custody time. He always give them excuses (which the kids know are lies). THey cry when they get invited to something if they aren’t with me for that time period. They immediately run to the calendar and ask if they are home then. He tells the kids that’s what I pay your mom for, when my son said “dad maybe you can get 2 year books and mom can get 2″.
the kids have taken the invites to their dads. He ignores the invites. The kids beg him, and cry about not being able to go, but instead he takes them to art institutes and museums. They usually tell him way ahead of time, but he just blows them off. The kids told me he is always on the cell phone at all hours. For long periods of time. He tries to claim he has this huge important job. Believe me, he doesn’t need to have calls 24/7 even on weekends.
He is also refusing counseling for the kids and one really wants to go. SHe keeps asking and dad says he isn’t in a position to consent at this time.

How many read this section of the Obamacare ruling?

From page 42 of the ruling:
It would be a radical departure from existing case law to hold that Congress
can regulate inactivity under the Commerce Clause. If it has the power to compel
an otherwise passive individual into a commercial transaction with a third party
merely by asserting — as was done in the Act — that compelling the actual
transaction is itself “commercial and economic in nature, and substantially affects
interstate commerce” [see Act § 1501(a)(1)], it is not hyperbolizing to suggest that
Congress could do almost anything it wanted. It is difficult to imagine that a nation
which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving
the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in
America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people
to buy tea in the first place. If Congress can penalize a passive individual for failing
to engage in commerce, the enumeration of powers in the Constitution would have
been in vain for it would be “difficult to perceive any limitation on federal power”
[Lopez, supra, 514 U.S. at 564], and we would have a Constitution in name only.

From Page 46 of the ruling:

http://www.politico.com/static/PPM153_vin.html

For example, everyone must participate in the food market. Instead of attempting
to control wheat supply by regulating the acreage and amount of wheat a farmer
could grow as in Wickard, under this logic, Congress could more directly raise toolow
wheat prices merely by increasing demand through mandating that every adult
purchase and consume wheat bread daily, rationalized on the grounds that because
everyone must participate in the market for food, non-consumers of wheat bread
adversely affect prices in the wheat market. Or, as was discussed during oral
argument, Congress could require that people buy and consume broccoli at regular
intervals, not only because the required purchases will positively impact interstate
commerce, but also because people who eat healthier tend to be healthier, and are
thus more productive and put less of a strain on the health care system. Similarly,
because virtually no one can be divorced from the transportation market, Congress
could require that everyone above a certain income threshold buy a General Motors
automobile — now partially government-owned — because those who do not buy
GM cars (or those who buy foreign cars) are adversely impacting commerce and a
taxpayer-subsidized business.

How do I keep my husband from hanging around 2 old men who are bums?

He’s 58 and they’re in their early 70s. All these old guys want to do is drink every single night. Both men are divorced & work for my husband. They called my husband on his cell phone today, the Fourth of July,and asked him to join them at a drinking party at a tavern, tonight. I wasn’t included in the invitation & my husband told them he was staying home instead with me.They know the female bartender there, from a previous tavern that she worked at, where she would give the 3 guys,free drinks, in exchange for a big tip. She was eventually fired for doing this.
Should I just brush this all off, ignore this…?!? I’m pretty angry and hurt too,because I had these old coots at my house for a nice Easter dinner with my family this year.
P.S. This older female bartender is a gambler. Likes to play the slot machines etc. My husband has a problem gambling also. I’m hoping he wont go back to the betting machines again this time.
