How do find out about firearm registraion?

[reno]

I had a friend, still have the same friend, but at the time he thought he was going through a "friendly" divorce. I tried my best to get him to hire an attorney. He said no it is not necessary, they are getting along, (I said, HUMMMMM, Your getting along but getting divorced?) he insisted that he did not need an attorney, she did not either. They were doing their own documents, going to court together without an attorney and it would be solved easily.

He shows up at court alone, by himself, It didn't end that day*** She shows up and has one of the best attorneys there is maybe, All he could say for months was WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Get an attorney....

Shut up, lawyer up, heads up, seven up.

Also - be sure that you have an ACCURATE INVENTORY - including "replacement value" of your property.

Because, if they're suddenly "not there"...then your side of the story will want to know that your property has been disposed of and now you're owed for it. Or something like that, I think.

Best to you.

Also - quit posting about this.

Oh, there's much much more, but probably things best kept to myself.

Yes, so in a month you aren't emailing a mod asking for so and so post to be deleted.

I think you're fine to post about it as long as you stick to only facts and not interject with your personal opinions. Name calling is always asking for trouble, same with accusations that are unproven. The parties involved may be reading these posts right now.

The best way to avoid stepping on a landmine is not to attempt to navigate the minefield but to not traverse it at all.

The cheapest way out of any divorce is to hire the very best attorney you can find, if you think you can't afford him/her, think again ~ cause you can't afford not to hire him! In 90 + % of the divorces, the "high priced" top attorney will save you twice (or more) than you pay him. Another thing, keep WRITTEN records (a diary) of any harassment, threats, other issues with a short version of what happened, including date and time! A written record carries a lot more weight than statements made from memory. Everyone here is correct, don't make ANY statements here or anywhere on the internet as these may be used against you in ways you can't foresee! Good Luck ~ many of us have been there, done that - for me it was near 50 years ago ~ but I ended up with my children!

Protective order, eh? Anyone offering odds on if he is legally able to have possession of any firearm by the end of this?

I am allowed to have firearms, the protective order was dismissed. The question is whether I will see any of mine again. It took 3 months for me to get in front of a judge and tell my side. Honestly I am not worried about this thread, there are significantly larger issues to deal with.

IANAL, but I did go through a divorce. I believe that, absent a prenup stating otherwise, ALL property (including that brought into the marriage) is marital property. ie. you both own it and it is part of your combined estate. The best thing you can do is find a COMPETENT divorce attorney. I am speaking from the position of been there, done that. Best of luck, and remember to ALWAYS keep your cool, or you can get sucked into a trap that is set for you.

This is generally not true.

What pre-exists the marriage is usually considered non-marital property. If it is used as marital property, then the court gets to decide whether it is or is not, and if so, how to divide it. Even after the marriage is executed, there are some cases for asset acquisition that preclude it from becoming marital property, particularly in the cases of inheritances or legal judgments.

That said, this is a starting point, not necessarily the end point.

What exactly is a protection order?

It's a lot like a protective order with a different suffix.

The shops they were bought at have to keep 4473 forms for 20 years.... if they were bought at gun shops.

yeah walked into that one.

This is an case study in why you should keep a document with the serial numbers, as well as a photo of all of your guns and other valuables. Its something like proof that you actually owned item 'X'.

A password protected Xcell spreadsheet on your phone, and a private file on your photobucket acount would do nicely, and require no actual time or monetary investment.

Along with this I go a step further and have an itemized list stored in my fireproof safe.

What if she steals the safe?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

What if she steals the safe?

OR what if the safe gets hot enough to combust the paper? OR if something gets hot and melts all over it?

I'm all for keeping a copy in the safe - but it should just be one of many copies.

A few attachments in an email sent to yourself at a few different email addresses would also be quite handy.

In the I.T. world, we call that "redundant off-site backups".
