Grandparents Seeking Child Custody
Submitted by trspencer on Wed, 05/15/2013 - 21:40
Many grandparents end up raising their grandchildren because of troublesome problems with the biological mother or father. Since it is often worse to leave the child with the parent the concept of grandparents taking care of the child is gaining in popularity. Issues typically start coming to light once it is time to enroll the child in classes because certain documents and other things are required for school which often only the parent may obtain. Often grandparents assume that they have to fight for custody, but really all they are are seeking is Guardianship. Most of the time gaining Guradianship over a child in Utah is a much easier process for grandparents and Terry Spencer can help you obtain this.
Terry is handling a an appeal of my divorce. My ex wife hears voices in her head that "give her direction" and she follows them without a second thought. She has not had a rational thought in more than 15 years. She has made outrageous claims, none of which have a thread of truth. She has delayed every motion; has buried the court with hundreds of documents; and continually files new documents that cause further delays. Two years after the divorce has been signed she continues to maintain that we are still married. Terry has patiently guided me through this process. He has rebutted every motion with a professional attitude. I have confidence that he will succeed in successfully defeating her appeal and expect that his skills will serve me well in the ensuing trial to resolve all issues raised by the appeal.

A will is a legal document that is left behind for loved ones after one’s death containing instructions as to what should be done with any assets or cash and how things are to be dispersed throughout your family. Sadly, when someone is on his or her deathbed, rather than focusing on spending quality time with the loved one, some families get wrapped up in all the legalities that go along with “who gets what.” Some family members might feel they are not getting their “fair share” and this can not only cause a rift between family members, but also make the last moments of a passing loved one less than amicable.
Question: My wife and I bought our house 2.5 years ago. In spring we had to have part of bathroom floor replaced due to a previous leak. We contacted the seller and she remembered the repair of toilet but would not pay for repairs of floor. During that repair the plumber found crawl space had 30" of water in it and I had to pump it out. No apparent damage but Ifound a sump already in place on the far end of house and neighbors confirmed it being pumped out each spring. Now have water damage to floor in master bathroom from previous repair. None of this was not disclosed.
