VISITATION ISSUES

LEGAL NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM THE DESK OF MICHAEL S. BAILEY, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW.

One of the most difficult questions presented to a family law attorney from a client is the question whether a child must have parenting time with the other parent when the minor child has expressed his or her desire not to do so. This question arises frequently during the holidays.

A parent should always follow the current order of the court unless an extreme situation exists such as a situation concerning the safety of the child.

If the facts warrant, a parent may seek a modification of the parenting order to address this issue. A parent seeking modification of the parenting order may have to retain an expert, such as a child psychologist, to support their request for modification of the parenting order. Alternative methods of resolution may include mediation or settlement conferences.

Since this is a very complicated issue, you should consult with an experienced attorney for an evaluation and advice on how to proceed concerning the modification of a parenting order.

PROTECTIONS FOR PETS.

If you have questions, call me at (513) 631-0022.

A bill has been introduced in the State of Georgia Senate to protect persons who damage an auto from being sued by the owner of the auto for damages. This law would apply when a person tries to protect a pet left in the auto and damages the auto during hot days and other distressful times.

Let’s hope that the bill passes and that other states pass similar laws. See the following link for more information: https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/new-law-would-protect-people-who-save-dogs-from-hot-cars/ar-BBTsJl3?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=U452DHP .

REDEMPTION IN A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY

LEGAL NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM THE DESK OF MICHAEL S. BAILEY, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW. If you have questions, call me at (513) 631-0022.

A “redemption” allows a debtor in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy to retain personal property (autos, household goods, jewelry, etc.) that is collateral for a secured debt. It’s possible for a debtor in a “redemption” to pay a secured creditor significantly less than the amount of the debt owed the secured creditor. However, the debtor must pay the fair market value of the collateral to the secured creditor.

By way of an example, if a debtor owes a secured creditor $10,000 for an auto and the fair market value of the auto is $4,000, the bankruptcy code permits the debtor in a “redemption” to pay the secured creditor $4,000 while eliminating the remaining balance of $6,000 owed for the secured debt ($10,000 - $4,000). Note that the amount due the secured creditor in a “redemption” must be paid in a lump sum. There are lenders who specifically make loans to debtors to “redeem” an auto or other personal property for a “redemption”.

A “redemption” can realize significant savings for the debtor and allows the debtor to retain the secured collateral while eliminating some debt. Want to know more? Give me a call.
