    You're kidding, right?

    When a child "divorces" his parents, it's called emancipation. But blood is forever.

    You will FOREVER be related to your sisters, whether you want to be or not. That doesn't mean you have to be happy about it, or be involved in their lives, or even on speaking terms. But there is no way to "divorce" your sisters, no matter how much you want it.
    A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

    You can never make the same mistake twice, because the second time you make it, it's not a mistake, it's a CHOICE.

    Did you marry any of your sisters?
    Eek! A mouse!


    No, I am not a lawyer. You'd be paying for my advice if I was a lawyer. Lucky you. You're getting my non-legal opinion at no cost to yourself so you ought to pay attention.



    Marriage is betting someone half your stuff that you're going to love them forever.

    I'm going to ignore your comments since you act like a criminal.

    As we say in West Virginia, you can divorce her, but she's still your sister.

    If your over 18 you can slowly create more distance -privacy between them and you, things like non published phone numbers, not giving up a new mailing address when you move. You may not be able to end your legal relationship with them but if over 18 you sure can limit your possible contacts with them.

    thanks.

    The reason why I want to end this relationship I am always afraid they will try to claim things from me. For example after they got married, me and mother live together and we worked overtime to save enough to buy a house. Which they didn't paid a penny or knew anything about it. Unfortunely my mother pass away in a accident and they now are sueing for a part of the house, a part of my car and my fortune. I eventually settle with them and split my mother half to them. I always feel they will be back for more, we have different fathers. It isn't just about getting different numbers or addresses as they are plainly just freeloaders.

    They will always be related by blood. No matter what.

    Since this was their mother, too, these "freeloaders" had every right to claim that which would be rightfully theirs upon your mom's death. Anything that is yours alone they have no claim to.

    As long as you know that, if they demand things from you again that weren't part of your mom's estate, JUST SAY NO. Simple.

    Hi
    Yes I agree that they have the right, therefore I settle with them and refiance again.
    Now I'm also thinking what happens if I died, now I'm sure they are going to claim my stuff again. The last thing I want to do is leave them with anything.
    Of course I can leave a will, but who is going to make sure anyone see the will.

    thanks.

    There are means to make sure your will will be presented to probate court so it can be followed. Who would you leave everything to? That would be a good person to have know where your will is located or for them to even hold onto it.

    Get a living will and a regular will. Do it through a reputable attorney. My attorney has a copy of my will. My executor also has a copy, who knows who my attorney is. If you don't want the sisters to get anything, then follow your attorney's advice on how to handle that. Just make sure that who you DO want to handle your affairs knows where everything is.
    No whining allowed.

    In some counties, the Probate court will hold copies of wills until the person passes. That way they are on file for safekeeping and easily accessed.
    Parents should remember 3 things: Love your kids more than you hate your ex; when you have children the relationship with the other parent is until death; your children determine what type of nursing home you end up in.
    Nothing stated by me should be taken as giving you legal advice or forming an attorney/client relationship.
