If you were served a small claims case but your name was spelled wrong do you have to appear

I would strongly advise you to appear.  The chances of the Court relieving you of the consequences of non-appearance because your first name was slightly misspelled on a document are small.

Can I not grant my husband a divorce?

Answered 12 years and 3 months ago by Donald E Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer
Bad News, Good News. In Oregon, if a married person wants a dissolution of marriage, all they have to do is allege that "irreconcilable differences" have arisen in their relationship. Once that allegation has been made, there is no defense to the dissolution of the marriage. HOWEVER, in a dissolution of marriage involving a couple that have a child, the following issues come up right behind the actual dissolution of marriage. First, who gets custody of the child based on the "best interest of the child." For a three-month old child, Mom gets custody unless she has done something so completely outrageous that it convinces the Court that Dad will clearly be a better parent. Once custody is decided, the court moves on to parenting time for the non-custodial spouse and child support which is paid by the non-custodial spouse to the custodial spouse. Next, the Court has to divide the marital estate (real and personal property and related debt) between the parties on a "fair and equitable" basis. Lastly, if your husband earns significantly more than you do, he will be ordered to pay you spousal support in an amount that depends on a number of factors like respective incomes, years of marriage, etc. From what you put in the question, you need to consult with an attorney in your county of residence as soon as you can....

Usually a lawyer can choose to terminate representation, as you can as well. Check your fee agreement and that issue will be covered.  There are occasions when a lawyer may not withdraw e.g. too close to trial, etc.  In either case, you may contact the Oregon State Bar to enter the "Fee Arbitration program" to have them look at the fees you have paid so far to determine whether they are reasonable. You may reach Cassandra Stich by phone at 503.431.6334, or via e-mail at cstich@osbar.org. You may find a good lawyer lead using www.lawyers.com. This response is general in nature and is not legal advice.  No attorney client relationship is formed by it.  Further, the response does not represent the opinions or views of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies....
