My parents are getting a divorce and I had a few questions about it, mainly for people who practice law or are otherwise experienced.

My dad moved out back in 1999 on his own accord and communicated with us (mom, sister, myself) off and on for about 8-9 years (up to the present day), with some of those years being pleasant and even involving him in birthdays, holidays, coming over to the house, etc. (again, we didn’t kick him out, he chose to leave). Recently, he had a heart attack. We found out and went to visit him in the hospital. While there, his new ‘significant other,’ basically harassed us the whole time we were there. He has revealed that he has moved in with this woman and has since broken off communication with us and is paying the minimum child support (for my sister), while also refusing to pay for any of her future education.

He recently had his lawyer send us an ‘inventory’ letter which lists a bunch of random things in the house that he thinks are his (the majority of the things are not his – he didn’t buy them or they are long gone – and we think he just wants whatever they are worth in $$$$). Is he allowed to do this???? He has had 9 years and access to the items in the house (he could have taken them at any time), but he is clearly just saying he wants them so we’ll be forced to pay him whatever they are worth.

Please advise (serious responses only).

I realize that the law varies from state to state (I’m in PA), but I just wanted some advice.

Thanks.

I’m not getting in the middle of it, I’m asking a question about it. Two different things.

Thank you for your answer, though.

We as a couple have deep relationship problems that includes sex as well. We want to get help from a counselor. Now what exact is Couple counseling and sex counseling. Are these two different things? Also how do you differentiate between them. When I looked for couple counselors in my area on Google, I found quite a mixed results.
Please guide me to search what I need. Thanks in advance.

I have been trying to look up schools in my area for physical therapy. A lot of the time my results will pop up with orthopedic technology. Aren’t these two different things? What are the differences between the two?
