Can I Amend a Complaint to Add a Party to a Case that was Filed Three Years Ago?
Can I file a modified complaint after more than 3 years as the action hasn't been settled yet, to add the LLCs my husband controlled involving real property, to the action as parties. These LLCs were also put into receivership by his ex business partner in 2010. The ex business partner claimed my husband defaulted on their buyout agreement and filed to be Judgment Creditor Receiver and was appointed. I also want to file a Lis Pendens to prevent this receiver from selling off the properties and leaving me with nothing. I loaned my husband half a million dollars for the business right after I filed for divorce when he claimed one of the properties wasn't going to be able to continue to operate unless I did so. He now refuses to repay me and claims he is indigent. Its all an act from him but he is totally uncooperative so I don't have access to the business records to show where literally hundreds of millions of dollars went over the past 8 yrs. I don't know if I can file the Lis Pendens against the properties of the LLCs that haven't been sold yet if they aren't parties to the divorce but can I add them? The judge in the receivership has never considered my interests and has denied every motion from me although she gave me the right to file them. She refused to grant me status as interveiner. My prior attorneys never filed the Lis Pendens and my husband secretly sold several properties the proceeds of which he was supposed to have deposited into an escrow account. He never did and hasn't paid me the loan or any of the interest he was supposed either. This loan and repayment agreement was part of a stipulation between me and my husband but is worthless it seems because the Receiver has refused to comply with any of it just like my husband and the receivership judge has allowed that to occur despite the fact that I made this loan from my separate property in order to enable one of the LLCs to continue to operate. I was told by one of my attorneys that I had separate property which my husband couldn't touch unless i agreed. I was under duress when I made the loan as I was told by my attorney that if I didn't make the loan I would never obtain a divorce because of a long marriage of over 35 years.

How Do I Find Out if There is a Lien on my Home?
Our adult daughter has numerous medical bills from cancer surgery that are past due and have been turned over for collection. As she uses our home for a mailing address (but does not live here) can any judgements against her result in liens being placed against our home. We have not cosigned any agreements for financial responsibility for her medical debts. We are in the process of selling the home in the near future and do not need any ugly surprises at settlement. Is there any way to find out if any judgments or liens have been placed against our home?
