The examples we tackle include:  If I missed a Court Hearing, can I file an appeal because I can barely see my daughter? My Marriage application was voided by the Probate Court because I did not file the proper steps, does that mean that I don't have to file for divorce because the marriage is not valid? When we got married, it turns out that my husband's divorce was not final. Does that mean we have to get remarried? I was separated from my deceased husband for years, but he died recently. We never bothered to get a divorce. No I want to get remarried but I can't get a marriage license because the Court keeps saying I still married. My former mother-in-law put on the death certificate that he had been divorced.; What happens if my rights were terminated and I want them reinstated?; and a few more!   If you would like a transcript of this show, you can find it on our website.     If you are enjoying the show, please take a moment to post a positive review about it.  Not sure how?
