Recourse for Checks Written to a Contractor After Closing

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: North Carolina

Hi guys, I purchased a house last year that required some serious repairs. The work was to be done after closing since it would take some time to complete, so the solution was that I had a contractor provide an invoice for the amount of the repairs and my closing attorney issued multiple checks payable to the contractor that I would hold onto until the work has been completed. Fast forward a year and the contractor has not completed the work and has proved unreliable. I still have the some of the checks and need to use someone else to finish the work.

The easiest course of action would be for my closing attorney to issue new checks to a new contractor of my choice, but my attorney was very challenging to deal with, so before I make any requests, I want to understand my rights. Is my attorney required to issue new checks to me and would it be theft to refuse, since that would be taking money that rightfully belongs to me?

Second part of my situation - the unreliable contractor had completed some work and one of the checks he deposited has left me with a $1,400 credit with him - meaning the check was for $1,400 more than the work he provided. At the time it wasn't a big deal and I just expected him to continue working and wash out the credit. He is now unresponsive and I have documentation that the work wasn't completed. How can I get my $1,400 credit back?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Termination: Terminating an Easement Due to Abandonment

My question involves real estate located in the State of: North Carolina

Hi guys, I am the serviant estate of an ingress & egress easement that is a major burden to me and I am looking to understand how I can terminate it. It is a permanent easement but there are some very unusual factors that make my situation more complex and unreasonable, so I would really appreciate your guidance. Quoting from the easement: "non-exclusive, perpetual easement for purposes of ingress and easement" ... "...easement is appurtenant to and runs with the lands..."

Usage of the easement: the dominant estate is a landlocked house and the elderly lady who lives in it is heavily medicated and has caregivers. She does not have a car and she never walks on the easement - instead she uses my neighbor's property to get to the road because it is a direct path to the road and my neighbor allows it.

About my property on the easement: this easement was written almost exactly 20 years ago, and at the time of writing, there was already a fence passing through it. The elderly lady's new caregivers, upon finding out about the easement, have taken it upon themselves to tamper with my property. They have cut down my bushes on the easement, threatened to take down the part of my fence which crosses the easement, and sprayed roundup all over my lawn on the easement.

About my closing attorney: to put it bluntly, my closing attorney sucked. Most importantly, she did not disclose a key document that explained the easement, which I only learned about recently after seeing another lawyer who did a title search and showed me the document. To clarify, while the easement was in the title I was given at closing, my attorney could not explain some of the language on it because she was missing that key document. Also, when I asked my closing attorney if I may have to take down my fence due to the easement, she said it would not be an issue.

Question 1: why is there not clearer direction on such an antiquated situation? This easement was made as a gentlemen's agreement in a completely different time period with different laws. Clearly the intent of the easement was never to take down my fence and bushes/privacy or the original owner 20 years ago would have done so. Just because a legal document (this easement) is written to last forever, what happens when it was never followed and now at the whim of malicious caregivers taking advantage of a gentlemen's agreement I have to pay the price?

Question 2: how is this not a public matter? The government would not have allowed the elderly lady's landlocked house to be built today, but since the government messed up years ago and allowed the house to be built, why are they not responsible for resolving the present situation? If a car manufacturer recalls a car because of a defect, they always compensate their customers in some way. Instead, in this situation, the government messed up, changed the law to prevent future screw ups, but then completely ignored all existing situations because it was inconvenient to them. How can this possibly be acceptable? As a result, in my particular case, a gentlemen's agreement was signed between two private parties, and now the agreement is being interpreted differently and I'm being threatened/harassed to take down my fence. This entire situation exists only because of the government's incompetency. How do I hold them responsible?

Question 3: is there a strong case for terminating the easement due to abandonment? I.E. the dominant estate never uses it today and has not been using it for almost 20 years.

Question 4: since my fence has always been on the easement since the time of its writing, do I have a strong case to keep it there? Can I repair it if it's falling apart in some places? Could I still be required to take it down? What about the bushes and trees that have also been on the my easement since the time of writing?

Question 5: what are my legal rights/recourse in response to how the caregivers have been damaging my property? What makes this extra ridiculous is the caregivers are definitely NOT acting on behalf of the elderly lady. She doesn't seem to care about the easement and has not given me any trouble. She is a nice lady but is not fully present (heavily medicated & diagnosed with schizophrenia) and once told me "I just do whatever I'm told." She is clearly not in her right mind, and the caregivers are acting alone as there was no issue until they started caring for her.

Question 6: what are my legal rights/recourse due to my closing attorney's negligence? The lawyer I met recently who showed me the missing document explaining the easement that was absent at closing suggested I take this up with my closing attorney. I want to be prepared and understand my rights before meeting with my closing attorney. Is it reasonable to request that my closing attorney's firm represent my interests with the easement until it is resolved to my satisfaction free of charge, since they were negligent at closing? More broadly, what are my rights and what is my closing attorney's firm obligated to do in this situation?

Thank you in advance for your guidance!

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Georgia.
I was wondering if you could get arrested and 6 years in prison for being drunk inside his house with a gun and saying he was going to kill him self. He had his girlfriend in the house as well and she called the cops. He was waving around the gun and they had to call in the swat team to handle the situation. I was wondering what is illegal about that and why they called in the swat team. Also what charges could they have charged him with and why did he get 6 years

Sex Offenses: Statutory Rape Laws in Japan

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Japan
Hello, I am 16 years old girl, and my boyfriend is 31. We love each other and have a healthy relationship, so I didn't really think about the age gap between us. In my country, it is legal to have sexual intercourse from the age of 15, but in Japan it's against the law to have sex with someone under 18 (if the other person is over 20). I want to ask if there is any possibility to make it acceptable by law. For example if my parents are okay with it, or if we show our relationship isn't just about sex/it isn't just one night stand etc.

Roommates: Roomate Given Permission to Stay by Landlord, but Not Paying

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

I'm pretty sure our landlord does not want to rent to us anymore, he has said he wants to renovate our unit now that our roommate has given notice, and rent the unit for a price we cannot afford. We have been here for 4 years and have no desire to move. Our roommate has stopped paying rent this month which we had to cover in order to answer the 3 day pay or quit we were given oct 17th when he did not recieve Johns portion of the rent. Since paying Johns october rent, the landlord then issued John a 30 day notice to vacate which expires nov 17th, but expects us to pay johns portion of the rent again this month or he is threatening us with another 3 day notice soon to follow by an unlawful detainer, and eventually an eviction. Can he do that? And what happens if we only pay our portion of the rent on the first? I offerred to pay Johns portion pro rated for when john was actually gone because john is a miserable man who thrives on destroying our property and making life as difficult as possible for us. I work from home and cannot do that when john is slamming things throughout the house and screaming at both my husband and myself. Do we have any recourse, and why is it that john doesnt pay his rent and he gets 45 days to leave the premisis, but we dont pay johns rent and we get a 3 day notice? Isnt that prejudice or discrimination or something along those lines?

My question involves criminal records for the state of: CA
Need you urgent, professional help for an innocent poor man!!!!

I was mistakenly arrested half years ago. I was took to the jail and got figure prints, and stayed there for one day before I got myself out with the help of bail bonds office. They initially wanted to charge me as felony, domestic violation.
After I got out, hired a lawyer and they police station said my matter is now “dormant and no one will touch a finger on it”. They will not file the case although they still have the right to file it in the future (possibly within 3 years); and it is now still at policeman station level. So I never went to the court and no record at the court level has been found. The arrest has been reclassified as a detention as no action has been taken for my matter with the help of my lawyer. My lawyer said the only thing I have to do is to wait until 3 years and it will be officially over then.

Here are my questions (which my lawyer is not sure):
(1) I am going to do job hunting, when the employer do background check, what kind of information could they find? Will be any of these like “arrest or detention”, “the reason why the arrest happened” ,“felony”,“ domestic violation” “suspending” showed in the background check?

(2) What else can I do to get rid of this nightmare ASAP or at least to reduce the adverse effect? Is there any method to dismiss/drop the case at the police station level? I do not want to generate a court record. But if the record will definitely affect my job hunting, I could take the risk to activate the case to the court level as I am very confident I can win the case because (1) the female admitted that she attacked me first and I was merely defending myself; (2) I can easily prove that the female told lies to the policeman; (3) I recently learned she should has paranoid personality disorder and some bipolar. (4) I have a lot of evidence to show that she has been violent to me for long time while I have never been violent. (I was idiot and tried to protect her and did not tell the whole story to the policeman for the first time).


I am really worrying about this and pls help me !!!
Every information or suggestion counts!!
I really appreciate your help very much in advance!!

Accident on School Property

My question involves an accident that occurred in the state of CO. High school athlete, participating in a sanctioned and required event on the school campus. Coach is also a teacher. We have a 2nd coach who is a volunteer. Volunteer coach instructed a athlete to drive golf cart to trash bin, and dump trash on the cart into the bin. Volunteer coach did not ask if student had a driver's license nor if the student had ever driven a golf cart.
Student accidently hit a teachers'car with golf cart. Teacher's car was parked in clearly marked no parking zone.

School told me I could (1) engage an attorney, (2) claim it on my insurance, or (3) send it to the school district to to their risk management team. I choose the last option, as I believe that some other party is responsible (either the teacher whose car was parked illegally, or the school for failing to ensure student safety by allowing student to drive the cart.)

What's my exposure here? I am parent of student.

Collection and Enforcement: Employer Providing False Information to Foc

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Michigan

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Michigan
There has been an active withholding notice with his employer for over a year now, but I haven't received a single penny of support. In January of this year the FOC suspended his licenses and issued a bench warrant. Both are still currently in place and they also contacted the employer to find out why there has been no support sent. According to them he's a bartender who is paid in tips and nothings left to withhold after they take taxes. I know 100% that he is NOT a bartender. He doesn't even work at the location the GM claims he does. He's actually a manager at a completely different location.

I haven't called FOC yet because the county prosecutor should issuing a warrant for felony non support either this week or next. From what I understand, you can not ask for enforcement from FOC if the state is currently working on your case. I'm wondering what is actually going on. Do withholding notices not apply to all locations within the company? Is his employer possibly paying him under the table, or not reporting his employment changes to help him avoid having to pay? I'm not sure if I should contact the general attorney office and let them know his real employment, or if they can even do anything about it. I appreciate any advice you might have! Thanks!!

Agents and Brokers: My Neighbor Contacted My Realtor and Lied to Him

My question involves real estate located in the State of: New Hampshire

Hello,

Neighbor is angry I am selling my house. We share a well. Neighbor contacted my agent and said he "wants something done about the electric to the well" as the pump is in his house. My agent contacted me with this news. Lawyers did a complete title inquiry for both houses. No language exists for shared well. I attempted to reason with angry neighbor by paying an attorney to draw up a shared well agreement. He sat on the agreement for a month before I had my agent contact him to inquire weather or not the agreement was ok. I had included a payment of a very generous sum quarterly for the electric to the well. He now says he will not share the well at all. I paid a LOT of money to draw up that agreement for nothing. Being that he specifically requested from my agent that "something be done with the electric" do I have any recourse? My home sale has been on hold for months while this angry unreasonable neighbor digs his heels in.

Text Message Harassment

My question involves restraining (harassment) orders in the State of:Nevada. We are living in Texas and the person sending harassing text messages lives in the state of Nevada. My husbands ex wife has continued to text him and send offending messages even though we have told her to stop. He has had to block her number but that does not stop her from texting from another number or finding other means. How can we obtain an anti harassment order while we live in two different states. Can we also call her local police department and will they respond with a warning to her or do they need extensive evidence?

Is Geotechnical Report and Borings Required for Making Repairs to Single Family Home

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Hawaii

First, "if you ask five different engineers, you will get five different answers." Therefore I'm looking for the legal answer to this question.

An older 1960's home with post/pier foundation has some settlement. I would like to improve the foundation so that settlement will not be an issue when I fully remodel/restore the home. A specialty foundation contractor tells me that they work with a civil engineer who is experienced in foundation repair. This engineer has recommended a foundation replacement. The foundation replacement includes continuous grade beams supported on drilled micropiles. Since the house is on a slope, there will be some drilled tie-back anchors for lateral support. The proposed foundation appears to be very strong and a substantial improvement from what was existing.

Is a geotechnical report and soil borings required to make this foundation repair/improvement? Soil borings and geo-report is almost $7,000 which seems excessive for a foundation repair.

The contractor says that the Honolulu Dept. of Plannin and Permitting does not require soils reports to do such work.

Also, in reference to the first statement at the top.. Some engineers say that a civil engineer is required to design the micropiles and footing excavations (because they are below grade) and structural engineers are required to design all the reinforced concrete and posts/beams above grade? Is this 100% accurate? My contractor says his Civil engineer is capable and does both below grade and above grade work. My contractor also says that all of his similar projects do not require soils reports and his civil engineer has designed and stamped many many many projects in which the DPP has processed and approved building permits for.

Mahalo in advance for your responses. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Cleaning and Repairs: Where to Send Security Deposit

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Indiana

I am a landlord of one single family home in Indiana. I currently reside in Pa and manage the property myself. I charged $700/month for unit and collected a security deposit of $700. When I returned home from a family vacation I did not have the rent check in my mailbox as is usual. Rent is due on the 1st (allow 9 days before it is late) I returned home on the 12th and no check tried to contact tenants to no avail, sent my father in law to drive by the house to see how it looked. it looked abandoned. upon entering the house the unit (10 days later) was trashed inside and outside. literally trash everywhere, bikes, beds, old freezer, walls had holes in them, all very stained, bathrooms were filthy and all the flooring were badly damaged.

They had a lease that ran through June 30, 2018. they apparently moved out sometime end of September but without any notice and still have talked to them, nor have I received the keys back. I have changed the locks and removed all the items out of unit in hopes of repairing it. I am needing to send the notice as to why I am keeping their security deposit but have no forwarding address. Indiana law states I have 45 days to send it, but from when? when they moved out (which I have no idea when that was) or when I knew that they were gone? (October 13th) Also do I send it to the rental house address? it is the only address I have for them, but I know they aren't there. also how long should I charge them for rent? I was thinking Oct-Nov. but it would be ready to rent mostly like in December. the damages and rent are obviously more than the security deposit but don't want to be hit with the penalty of triple damages for not properly returning the security deposit.

Modification of Custody: Ex Wants to Give Up Shared Parented for One Child, Not Both

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio

Three kids: 8, 10 and 13.

We have a shared parenting plan. It calls for 50/50 time but in practice I have had them quite a bit more, and it has gotten a lot more lately.

The other parent says they have given up trying to be a parent to the 10 and 13 year old. I have suggested counseling for them and the children. I have done more driving to facilitate visits (beyond the clearly mandated driving responsibilities spelled out in the court filed parenting plan), even when the other parent moved farther away.

Other parent refuses any effort at reconciliation between them and the kids, saying "if they say they hate me then I don't have to take them" and has stopped taking the 10 and 13 year old altogether. I've suggested counseling to work things out but other parent refuses.

I do all the driving for them, school functions, doctor visits, shopping trips, etc., etc.

Now, the other parent is saying they will "sign over custody of XXX and YYY so you don't have to consult me on school and doctor stuff." Our agreement, like most shared plans I'm sure, says we make all those decisions together.

However, the other parents gets along just fine with the 8 year old. They have a pretty healthy relationship, really. At least from what I can tell. They want to continue shared parenting with this child, which is fine with me and I wish could be done for all of them.

Anyway, my questions are:

Can the other parent permit me to assume sole custody of two of our children while maintaining shared parenting with the other child?

If so, how do we do this assuming we can agree throughout the process?

Dl Suspention and Earlier Court Dates

My question involves criminal law for the state of: NJ

Ok so here it goes. I am currently a resident of GA with a Valid DL in GA. I am a financially challenged grad student. During a recent visit to home I was driving my cousins car and receive a call saying the home alarm is going off. So naturally I head over there rather quickly and get pulled over for speeding. I leave my phone and wallet in a jacket. I provide the officer my information let him know heading to a family emergency. I ask if he’s going to keep send someone to the home to check it out (The home has been burgerised before). 5, 10, 15 mins go by and the officer is keeping me waiting. I ask for more help and he gets frantic with me and loud “Get back in the car”. As i’m walking back he decides to arrest me. Bring me to the station for Obstruction and resisting. Then proceeds to write me a ticket for driving under Suspention in NJ. Keep in mind I do not have a DL in NJ and a valid GA. He also proceeds to write my cousin a ticket (who isn’t isn’t in the country a ticket) for “Allowing driver under Suspention or something under that effect. The court date is scheduled for a time that is scheduled for a time where I’ll will be out of the country for my PhD thesis.

My questions are:
1.Can I request an earlier court date to handle these issues? Possibly Can I walk in on a court date and ask to be on the docket?

2:Although I have a different DL in another state and unaware of the NJ Suspention what is the likleyhood it will get dropped?

3: Since I have no criminal record, will the persecution try to make me plead out?

4: If my driving under Suspention gets dropped will my cousins ticket be dropped as well? Can I request it be nulled?

Thanks and and all help is welcomed.

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Texas

I was driving on the middle lane of the freeway, and wanted to change to the left lane. I put my turning signal on, check my mirrors, and notice there is a car on the left side (with a 3-4 cars space between him and I) so as I'm changing he speeds up to cut me off and I end up sideswiping him on the passenger door before I quickly changed back into my lane. My driver's mirror flew off and my door has scratches from his passenger mirror. We stopped at the shoulder of the freeway, exchanged phone number and name (I don't have insurance since I'm 18 and they charge me over $200 and I can't afford that). The car is under my grandma's name since she bought it and then passed it down to me when she got a new one. I am now awaiting info from the other guy's insurance. Who's at fault? And what's gonna happen with the insurance? Will he take me to court since I don't have insurance to pay for his damages (I looked it up and it shouldn't be more than $600)? If I get sued for the entire sum of his car, I don't have the money to pay for it. I'm a college students and only get $650 a month on my job. Please help.

Adverse Possession: When Can You Claim Adverse Possession of a Landlocked Property

My question involves personal property located in the State of: CA
STORY:
Before I purchased my rural wooded property parcel that I have now lived on for 30 years. The Realtor gave me a subdivision parcel map. The parcel map of the property was described as a 15 acre parcel. I purchased and found out later that the Realtor had given me an old parcel map and the subdivision plot plan had been revised and the property lines and acreage were not the same as what I had agreed on with the realtor. I still have this parcel map. It turned out to be 8.67 acres and a pie shaped lot. I was informed that the realtor who had moved back to Texas had made a simple mistake giving me an old map that had been revised after the fact but to late for me I owned it and should have did my research and not relied on him. This was kind of true but I was young and dumb and pretty much broke. But this created a big problem for me. Due to the terrain and Creek beds without the parcel I no longer owned I lost drive able access to the back of my property and the small pond that was one of the main reasons we bought this parcel. So I continued to occupy this abandon land locked parcel that has no easement for access unless i allow one across my property which I will explain later in this letter.

I went to the court house planning commission to find who owned the land that I thought was mine and it belonged to an Arnold M Clejan out of Roseburg, CA. I called and wrote Mr Clejan to see if I could make some kind of deal on the parcel and could not get a hold of him. Mail was returned unopened. After some time I went back to the court house property tax collection dept to find out who was paying the land tax. This is were I got information on the property and the title holders disposition. There had been a land lottery in 1947 and he won many parcels one being the one in question. There was suppose to be a town of Wilbur that never came to pass. The parcel he owned next to me was now land locked with no access of easement so he abandon it. The parcel was 11 years delinquent in property taxes but had not been placed for tax auction because of on going probate. I was told when probate closed the parcel would be auctioned off by the tax dept. There would be no disclosure in a silent auction of it being landlocked without easement to the bidders. My fear was some bidders would not do their due diligence on researching this parcel and not understand that it would be worthless or at the least to costly to them if they could not access or sell because of the same reasons and run the bidding up farther than I could afford. The only other option I had was Adverse Possession. But I needed legal help to understand the process, criteria and procedures petition the court for quick title. That is were I am at today.

Proof of Possession:
1.For the last 30 years I have been cleaning the culverts of debris to protect this parcel as well as the one I have title to and neighbors down stream.
2.I have been collecting firewood from downed trees as fuel for my wood stove that is the only system I have to heat my house. In doing so I have been maintaining & prevention of fire hazards and improving the parcel while protecting it & myself as well.
3. I have a cattle feeder structure on the property.
4. I have been erecting a fence on the property.
5. I have paid defaulted taxes going back to 2007 to the present date.
6. I have tried to contact owner to make a deal on this property even though I knew he abandon it. Mail keep returning unread

LEGAL HELP NEEDED"
I need a local or otherwise lawyer willing to represent me for this claim. I am willing to do the leg work but probable need representation in court and application & advise.
Property owners are deceased & Land is in probate, Do I need to wait to proceed with quick deed claim to court.
What are my real chances and pitfalls of proceeding with the claim.
Of course a cost evaluation. I am willing to pay for services needed. I am serous and will do what is needed to see this through.

LAND DISPOSITION:
Owners are now deceased and estate is still in probate and was awaiting tax auction.
Land is 5.68 acres but only 126 foot wide but long with difficult terrain & partly floods in winter.
Land taxes had not been paid sense 2007. I now pay them.
Parcel is landlocked on all sides
No easement to or from property.
Been abandon for over 30 years probably 60 years.
Boarders my parcels south property line.

Spousal Support and Alimony: Cancellation of a Credit Card Used to Pay Temporary Support

My question involves a marriage in the state of:Illinois

My temporary support is being allow exclusive access to the home and my spouse pays the utilities and insurance. I am also allowed use of our joint credit card for living expenses. The card is my sole means of income

My previous attorney had his assistant email me and inform me that he wanted me to pay his bill with my support credit card. I questioned several times if that would be ok legally and each time I was assured by the attorney through his assistant that I had a court order to use the card. I did as he advised and gave them the card number to charge even though there had been deadline issues and months of unanswered calls and emails directly from the attorney

A week or 2 later after after his assistant emailed me asking me to give permission to the attorney to sign an important document that the attorney knew I had issues with, I retained a different attorney

After another week or so when I tried to use the card to purchase groceries the card was declined. I informed my new attorney who later that day received an email from spouse's attorney stating that my charges put the card over the limit and she told my spouse to cancel the support credit card. She also said that they weren't going to pay it. It seems my husband had cut the limit on the card in half after he made the agreement for support and we both continued to use the card.

My attorney set a emergency hearing for 2 days later. At the hearing spouse's attorney stated that I didn't need the support because I had received $23000 60 days previously from an insurance policy I'd cashed in. That was untrue and spouse's attorney was quite familiar with the fact that I cashed in the $20,000 policy 16 months earlier the first time my husband took me off the card and closed our joint checking account. It wasn't difficult that time because I had the insurance money for expenses and used it to pay off other obligations for the 6 months I didn't have the card.

After several more false statements and insults from my husband's attorney (like I was harassing my husband by saying he is an alcoholic, which he is) the judge decided to do nothing about the card

There is another hearing in 2 months and I'm broke until then. Is it possible to appeal the (non)decision or is there anything else I can do? Right now I am using a credit card and paying only the minimum with the small stash of funds I hoarded away. Luckily the kids are grown and on their own or I'd be really screwed.

Thanks in advance

Estate Assets and Debts: Can You Empty a Deceased Parent's Bank Account After They Pass Away

My question involves estate proceedings in the state of: Tennessee

My friend and her brother have a serious problem with their 83 year old mother. This lady is in very bad health, is not well educated, and is VERY paranoid, even to the extent that she will not cooperate with her own children's diligent efforts to take care of her. She is likely to pass away at any time, has had several near misses already and of course she completely refuses to accept this. She will not even consider seeing an attorney or making a will.

She has one checking account at the local small town bank, of which she is the sole owner, no other names on it, and it contains several thousand dollars, $10 to $12 thousand, they believe, though she will not let them look at statements. How she functions is that she writes a check to cash, and has one of the children take it to the bank and get cash, then they go to the store and buy her groceries and supplies, and bring back the goods, the receipts and any leftover cash.

Neither of her children have power of attorney for business or health care and neither is listed as POD on this account. She is not senile, this has been her ordinary approach to life always, she is virtually illiterate, though she had a good job for many years and draws a sizeable retirement pension. She just lets the money build up in that checking account, refuses to deal with bills and notices, etc. And she has multiple creditors, including local government in several places attempting to collect property taxes owed to them, though no one has garnished her checking account (as far as the children know.) The children provide her with utilities and telephone service in their names, though she gives them a check to cash for what the bills are each month because unless they do, she simply will not deal with her affairs.

One of the siblings has voiced the plan that as soon as momma dies, they'll just go down to the bank and draw out all her money, so that they can pay for her funeral and take care of expenses, and the places she owes won't get it all. I know that one is never supposed to attempt to take money from a bank account after someone has died, and the bank is not supposed to let them, but if they did manage to get there and write a check, sign her name to it, or use her teller card and withdraw money from the bank account before the bank finds out she is dead, what exactly would be likely to happen? How can I convince them this is a VERY bad idea?

Termination of Support: If a Parent Moves, Which State's Laws Govern the Age for Termination of Child Support

My question involves a child support case from the State of: New York

I have not seen my daughter since she was 6 years old. She is now 17. Her mother through the courts made it impossible for me to continue to challenge custody. I live 3.5 hours away from where my daughter lived and I have severe physical limitations which makes it very difficult for me to drive.

Now the mother has moved my daughter out of state to a state with an emancipation age of 18 without notifying me. The custody order says she MUST notify me before moving.

My question is when my daughter is 18 in a couple of months, can I challenge the support order and have it expunged through emancipation? I do not know if she's considering further education. Thanks for any response.

Mortgages: Usury Laws for Private Bridge Loans for Real Estate Purchases

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Florida.

I am a Californian planning to lend money as a bridge loan to a real estate company in Florida. The loan duration is 8 months, with a simple interest rate of 40%. Principal and interest are due after the 8 month period. The money from me and a few other loaners will be used to purchase a property in Florida. Once the property purchase transaction closes,me and the other loaners will have the option to place a lien for in the amount of the investment on the property.

Firstly, is this legal given the high interest rate?(I read that Florida considers loan rates over 18% rate as usury)

Secondly, if legal, what all documents do I need to review and what type of loan agreement contract should I sign with the borrower?

Can someone refer me a lawyer who can handle something like this without charging an arm and a leg?

H Visas: H1 Extension Rfe and 240 Days Closing Soon

Hi,
Here is my situation.
Visa expired on 1st April 2017 and I 94 expiration date is 11th April 2017.
My last extension for my H1B was applied in November 2016.case was transferred to CA center in May.
In Aug 2017 I have received an RFE and submitted RFE response on 19th October in Premium. On 27th October I saw the status in USCIS site as another RFE( yet to receive the notice).

So wanted to check on the below details ---

The 240 days rule is from the date of visa expiration or I 94 expiration ?

Since my 240 days will be over by end of November and I am doubtful with just 3 weeks RFE response can’t be filed.

I understand that I can’t work after 240 days, but can I stay in US and wait for the decision? My employer says they will put me on administrative leave ( no pay ) to wait for decision. So can I legally stay here and not work ? Would staying here without pay affect my future extension or Green Card processing ?

Ticket for Not Slowing Down to Reasonable Speed when Passing Stopped Police Officer

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Maryland
I was driving on a 3 lane highway where the speed limit is 70mph. I was on the far right lane driving when I saw a police officer's vehicle pulling over someone on the shoulder. I tried to move to the left lane but it was packed and there was no way for me to switch lanes. As we were going uphill I let go of the gas and passed the officer, this is when I saw him outside walking towards his vehicle. About 1 mile later I see the same officer with his lights on weaving through traffic far behind, I keep driving staying towards the opposite side of him so I'm not in his way. About a minute later he get's behind me and I realize he's pulling me over. He comes to the passenger window and basically scolds me for driving past him saying, "some people have families at home" and I was driving too fast. I told him there was no way to switch lanes and said I did not see him, he responds by saying we were going uphill and there's no way I couldn't have seen him. He goes back to his vehicle, comes back hands me the citation and says to pay the fine in 30 days or have my license suspended. I didn't even realize I could get a citation and tried to ask him about it but he ignored me got into his car and sped off. I saw him only a mile down pulling someone else over! The citation says: FAILURE OF DR. TO SLOW TO REASONABLE & PRUDENT SPEED WHILE PASSING STOPPED EMERG. VEHICLE

The officer has absolutely no physical evidence of the speed I was going when I passed him. I plan to request a trial.
Just FYI I'm 18 and have not even had my license for only 10 months. My driving record is clean!
Any advice??

Collection and Enforcement: Collecting Cs from a 1099 Contractor in Mn

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: MN. I am maternal grandmother with legal custody of my granddaughter and have an order from the court establishing child support. I gave my county worker all the employment info I had on my Son In Law's employer and they sent a verification form down, which came back saying he is not an employee so my worker pretty much put the case on the shelf. I have found out that he is a 1099 contractor and paid out of accounts payable, but receives a regular weekly paycheck from a nationwide commercial cleaning service. Is this garnishable income? Can I send the order down myself and see what happens or should it come from the county?

Hello everyone,

Do I need to have a company ALREADY RUNNING before I can ask for funds from Investors / Venture capitals ?

I thaught that money is asked to form(start) the company, and so Investors / venture capitals provide funds BEFORE the company is born, so that the money can be used to FORM the company through processes like obtaining licences/registrations and permissions etc.

Wrongfully Accused

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania.

My son and his friend walked to a store for a drink. Upon their way back an officer started after them in his car. Needless to say, they both ran. The officer caught my sons friend. My son happened to escape. Upon questioning my sons friend he lied to the cops not wanting to "rat" my son out as to who he was.

My son proceeds to tell me that he and his friend left their school, around the time this so called theft occured, which is all on school surveillance video, walked to a grocery store to purchase drinks. My son did not go in he waited outside. When his friend returned they started walking back to the school along a path behind the store. This is when a cop pulled up on them. They ran because they are stupid kids and were afraid. My son got away. Next thing is I am getting a call from a cop stating that my son fits the description of a person that just stole something from another store. This store is not next to the grocery store they were in, it is at least a 10-15minute walk away. In fact, they were NEVER in this store that day where this alleged theft took place. My son is being charged because he fits the description, he ran from cops and his friend lied to protect him.

What are my options? I know we will need a lawyer.

Benefits for Injured Workers: Back TTD Pay

My question involves workers compensation law for the state of: California
I had an injury almost 5 years ago. In 2015 I quit my job because I could no longer work due to the pain. In the meantime, I ended up moving out of state. To this day, I still have not received a new doctor or any money from TTD because I didn't go to a new doctor. When I moved to the new state I called my attorney, emailed my attorney and he never got back to me in regards to an MPN list. I have been out of work for over 2 years now and my attorney is telling me since a doctor never signed off on TTD that I won't be eligible for it. I feel like its my attorney's fault for not returning my calls. He says, regardless, it was up to me to find a doctor and that there was no MPN list. I checked my records and there was an MPN list but since it was out of state he would have had to get a doctor approved from the claims administrator. He claims that's not the case. What recourse do I have in this situation? Am I screwed? I am still getting worse because nobody can get me a doctor apparently since it is out of state.
Just a tidbit about my attorney: I am reporting him to the bar over four other offenses. Not sure if hes incompetent or just lazy. Too late to switch since I am supposed to be getting PDA(?) payments soon? I don't know how that happened or how they came to that all I know is I am now P&S and I didn't see a QME for 2 years after my last visit. My QME even asked me why it took a year and a half for me to come back to him and I told him"My attorney lost the report and didn't know I had to go back"
Also, if anyone knows, is Work Comp entitled to a lien on a Personal Injury settlement if the PI settlement is for Pain and suffering, not medical or back pay?
TLDR; Two and a half years with no doctor and no pay. What do I do I need some type of WC benefit!

Last Month Rent when Going Month to Month

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida.

My landlord is selling the home I live in. The lease expired almost 2 years ago and we have been on a month to month. I paid first/last/security when I moved in. I told my landlord on Oct. 21st that my last month rent would be used from Nov. 21st to Dec 21st. All was fine.

Somebody made an offer on the property but said they would only purchase it if I was out of the house this month . My landlord notified me today (via text message) that he needed me out of the house by Nov. 27th. He also stated he was prorating my last month rent and would give me my last month remaining balance plus my security deposit after moving out. I stated that i told him we had an agreement i would be out by the 21st of December. To which he replied that the buyer told him he doesn't have to give me a months notice and since we are Month to Month technically he can have me removed in 15 days.

I stated that if I knew i had to be out, I would have used my last months rent on Oct. 21st and would be out Nov. 21st. My landlord than told me if I could be out by Nov. 21st he would give me my last months rent in full upon leaving the 21st.

I feel like I'm getting screwed in a way. I told him I was moving out, i have plans and things in order to move to another property in Dec.

Can my Landlord evict and give me my last month rent in order to sell his house faster even though we agreed I'd be out in December?

Reckless Driving: Reckless Driving/Stunt Driving

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY
So i'm driving my car, which is pretty low to the ground as its a sports car and i have it lowered. I'm getting onto the highway, and a truck pulls up behind me and starts riding my tail. I was literally blinded by this truck, he was so close I literally could not see, so I sped up, over into the middle lane, and then proceeded back into the right lane. The truck then followed me, and did the same thing again, blinding me to a point where I could not see. I got off the highway, and as I get off the sirens go off and the cop pulls me over. He gives me a ticket for stunt driving, and reckless driving. He also says that he's had it out for me because my car stands out and is loud. The only reason I sped up because I was blinded, and it was not safe to pull over on the highway, I literally exited the next exit I could.

Disability Insurance: Is an Undiagnosed Condition a Pre-Existing Condition for Disability Insurance

I live and work in California and have worked at the same company for 2.5 years.

I had a hemorrhagic stroke in July 2016 caused by high blood pressure. Fortunately I was working at home when it happened and was taken to the hospital within 20 minutes. I'm young (45), otherwise healthy, and the stroke was considered 'small', so I was released from the hospital after 5 days with a walker and a fist full of prescriptions. I spent the next 5 months on disability (SDI and short-term disability insurance) and the road to recovery. Sleeping upright, working on simply walking, being able to type, being able to drive, all progressively getting better. Fortunately I seem cognitively fine even from the day one, I'm "all there" and can still do complex math and regular conversations. In December of 2016, I return to work.

But its seems like things are not fine. Over the next 9 months I'm discovering that I have very strange cognitive issues. I'm missing meetings because I don't know what time it is, have a hard time keeping on task, am impulsive on some things but can't get started on others. Its like I've come down with the worst ADHD ever (just without the hyper part). I also develop "post stroke central pain syndrome" (that numbness on the left side slowly evolves into discomfort and pain) and a constant headache that doesn't get better from NSAIDs.

I probably did the wrong thing by ignoring these and hoping it would just get better with time... it hasn't. My work definitely notices the problem, but it materializes in warnings; "you need to be at all meetings regarding x", "you need to take lead on x", etc. I get written up for poor performance for the first time in my 25 year career. In September 2017, I'm on a business trip but can't remember what I'm supposed to do, or why I'm in a hotel room. At this point I fly home and go back on medical leave at the recommendation of my HR department. I'm going back onto SDI and disability insurance.

Finally my question (or the tl;dr version) -- if I develop undiagnosed or new symptoms 9 months after a major brain injury, is that considered a pre-existing condition for the purposes of short-term or long-term disability?

Repossession: Cam I Sue Bank for Repoeing My Car with a Clear Title Illegally

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: California.

Seller and me went to the DMV and he completed paperwork there and the seller completed paperwork there to get me a clean title to the vehicle which I have in my possession.

So again according to the DMV I am the registered owner with a clear title to the car.

Some months later my vehicle is repossessed by a bank saying that they have a lien on the vehicle and a different older title. I told them according to the DMV current records I am the registered owner with a clear title and sent them a copy of my title to prove it.

They said case is under investigation and refused to release my vehicle. Cops refused to help saying it is a civil matter.

Have they acted illegally by not releasing my vehicle as I am the current registered owner with the most current title?

I would think I would have the right of possession until they restore the lien and get their title restored and they are currently breaking the law.

I know I can sue the seller.

Has the finance company or towing company done anything illegal where they are worth suing also?

Any advice before I get a lawyer or take this to small claims court is appreciated.

Establishing Paternity: Can You Establish Paternity for an Adult Based on DNA of the Father's Relatives

My question involves paternity law for the State of: Texas. In 1970 my wife was born and dad was known but left off of birth certificate because he ran off and joined the military before he finished high school. Now via Ancestry DNA we have matched my wife to her paternal grandmother through 3 separate 1st cousins who were children of her dad’s siblings who have submitted DNA samples. My wife sent her now known dad a letter presenting him with the dna evidence as well as photos . If he still denies it how do we get him to do so legally? Once DNA proves paternity, is he liable for any back child support? It was a small town and her mom had to drop out the end of her junior year as the school wouldn’t let her finish being pregnant.

I was driving down the road doing less than the 25 mph speed limit following the flow of traffic , when a person struck my car with their door, causing it to hook onto my car which caused damage to my side panel pushing my rearview mirror up therefore pushing up my bumper causing damage to the bumper as well as the headlight .The police officer put in the report that I struck the vehicle (but also told me that the individual should not have opened their door into the lane of travel )if I struck the vehicle would I get that much damage versus the vehicle getting the minimal amount of damage that it did ? And if that’s the case who’s at fault? Also the person was in a rush (as soon as she got out she stated “no fault” *this took place in NJ* and that she had a wedding to go to ). She was parked further out then any other driver (I took pictures when I moved my vehicle after instructed to do so by the officer. The way the picture in the report looked is that my bumper hit her car ,but then I wouldn’t have scrapping damage to my side panel . And I also believe that if her door was already, her door would have more damage and would not be able to close which it was . Because of the damage my tires were affected therefore almost causing a blowout . Her insurance is only trying to take 75/25 responsibility , does this seem fair ?

Switched Price Tags- Wasn't Caught. Yet

My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

My friends switched price tags to pay a cheaper price on a couple pair of pants two days ago. She did this in the dressing room and was not caught. She paid with her credit card. At no point was she stopped. She is now extremely remorseful and feels terrible. She has been throwing up for the past couple of nights out of anxiety and thought about dropping the items back to the store (without a refund).

What is the likelihood that the retail store will try to track her down? How often does that happen, and how long does it take for the police to arrest after the fact? There may not be video evidence of the actual price tag switch, but there is video of her going in and out of the dressing room. This was her first offense and she will never do this again. It was about $150 in merchandise. Thanks in advance for the advice.

Runaways: Moving Out of Your Family Home As a Minor

My question involves juvenile law in the State of: Nevada

In short; my parents are divorced and I live with my mother and sister. Money is extremely tight in our family as is my relationship with my mom. Since I could remember we haven't really gotten along. Mostly we have verbal arguments but we have had some physical confrontations, especially as I've grown up and stress has increased. In a junior right now and I feel I've always struggled with school. I am not the smartest person in class nor the most motivated. I try my best to keep up with school work as well as my after school activities. As I'm getting closer to graduation, stress has been piling up on me and many times have I found my self completely just drained and upset/depressed because of it. I have a decent friend group and a boyfriend who try to help in any way they can, but until now I've been scared to reach out for support in this situation. I do not feel as if I'm in a good place living with my mom for many reasons relating to school, my emotion and physical well being. My mom is not a responsible person when it comes to financial situations, for many reasons as well.
Last year I was offered a place to live that, in both the family and my own opinion, would have been easier on me since it was closer to school and the parent and my friend wouldve been able to support me mentally and financially. I talked to my mom about this, asking if it could be worked out when I did turn 16, but she said no before I could explain my reasoning and why I felt it would be best.
I dropped the situation but its come up again. Please bear with me though for this next part. My boyfriend is 19 and has been on his own for almost two years, and recently moved out of an apartment with his friend into his own. I will caution you that our relationship has not reached sex or anything too sexual/intimate as I do not want anything to do with any of it.
I was purposed to partially move in with him for many reasons: he lives closer to the school and the town (which also means closer to jobs and whatnot) than I do, has his own vehicle which my mom doesnt, has a stable job, and supports me when I have a bad day and occasionally helps me with my school work when I'm struggling. I know there is no way my mom/law will allow me to fully move in, but I was going to ask if it was acceptable to stay weekdays with him and weekends with my mom. That way I would be home to do chores and house work that needs to be done and it gives my boyfriend some alone time so he can have his own freedom.

Is this legally allowed and what would I have to do to have it discussed? Does the law/court have to be involved or is it something I would only need to discuss with my mom?

She can be very strict and stubborn sometimes and I want to be completely prepared and well researched when I ask her for this opprotunity. Mind you, she does not know we are dating. I've mentioned him a lot to her, but due to age, I don't want to tell her until I feel that our relationship will last more than the simple 3 months it has been so far. She knows I spend the night with him and simply hang out with him a lot, and has met him due to him and his friend living just below us in our apartment complexes.

If anyone could help or at least give me some advice I would love it. In a very problematic person and am scared to ask her in fear it will start an argument, but I am not really happy living with her anymore and I don't want to wait until I'm 18. I also do not want to move an hour away with my father because I want to finish schooling in my town, and I never really wanted the law/court involved in dear that would cause more stress than necessary.
Thank you very much and apologies for the very long explanation... I'm really bad at simplifying details.

Filing a Complaint: Neighbor

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Ohio

Hi all. Our neighbors recently filed a TRO against us for a split rail fence we plan on taking down which is on our property. Since then he puts on a big show in public to be nice to my wife and kids although does not talk to us if at home. He is a large man and this intimidates my wife. I do not want him interacting with my young children in any way.

He has also 'linked up' on LinkedIn with colleagues of my wife and I. The colleagues are in an entirely different field of work than he is in. Do we have grounds to ask the court for a TRO against him as we do not want him to interact in anyway, shape or form with our young children. Thanks in advance for any info.

Neighbors Circumventing the Law in Regards to Legal Access

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Florida
I purchased a distressed property in Alachua county Florida. It had a private use road crossing 3 neighbors property that has been in use for over 20 years. A small portion of my property is used for neighbors further down the private road, and the road is in active use by all parties except me. I was told legally I could use the road but in order to market the land I would need it legally ascribed to my deed. After negotiations with the neighbors failed I filed a case and managed to get all parties involved served. On the day of the hearing, one of the parties deed their parcel to a family member, unnamed in the case. The judge deferred on that day in hopes that we could work it out, (a few days later we found out what they had done) and on the second meeting the judge signed off as we had written giving us access, however the judge stated that I would have to obtain the new landowners signature to complete the easement. So it sounds to me as if the neighbors have found a way to circumvent the law. The case filing alone costs $1400 not including legal fees and service. If I have the "new" landowner served, they could easily do the same thing again. Any help greatly appreciated.

How to Deal with a Debt Owed

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: CA

To make things simple their was an issue in a condo that was apparently fixed. Everything was payed except it seems another invoice wasn't acknowledged and my parents being the owners it was thrown to them. Being that it was a rented unit my dad later out found out that it was past due. I called and they said its now in collections hands. My dad went to claim why this invoice wasnt paid when the guy incharge of the association said that he would cover a part and my dad another part (basically the association used their insurance to handle this issue).

Fast forward I am here to see what are the options. The invoices were billed to the insurance, but it doesn't seem they were going to pay that (they did however pay other ones). So at this point I sent a letter certified to the collection company (Grant & Weber) acknowledging this is no my debt, they responded and highlighted the work was done on the unit, but the bill was to the insurance. So say I have to pay this whats my best intake to pay the very least amount here? How should I deal with it maybe cut it in half if pay in full or even pay less but still paying in full (the amount is about $1,800). Reason I want to work this out is because they are already charging interest and its minimal, but its not something I want to ignore. Thanks in advance.

Repossession: Private Sale of Trailer with Contract, Missed Payments and It Was Repo'd

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: California

My son purchased a camper trailer, giving a large down payment and signed a contract with the prior owner, setting up a monthly payment plan and it also stated that if 90 past with no payment the prior owner could repossess the trailer. The prior owner signed over the title to my son at the time of the sale and instructed him to register it and my son also agreed to pay the back registration, which he did. My son made 3 payment and then ran into some financial difficulties and the prior owner after only 2 months of missing payments filed a small claims suit for the balance of the "loan" or what I like to call "sale." At 90 days past due, the prior owner brought paperwork from the small claim suit that he filed and had a sheriff deputy do a civil stand-by while he connected to the trailer and explained to the deputy that he was repossessing the trailer and it was authorized by the courts. He now has the trailer in his possession and it is registered to my son, which, my son is the only one on the title as well, which makes him legally responsible what happens to the trailer while it is not in his possession. We tried several times to report the trailer stolen and initially the sheriffs office stated that the prior owner showed repossession paperwork, however, since going to supervisors the paperwork was only of a small claims suit for the remainder of the "sale" and they admitted to allowing the repo to take place was in error and will not instruct the prior owner to bring it back. Keeping in mind that the entire time, my son still has not been served with any paperwork for a court appearance. It was only brought to light of a lawsuit after we were instructed to call the court. The court clerk advised that there were no judgments and no paperwork authorizing a repossession, because my son hasn't been served and there hasn't been a trial.

My son in the title holder, the trailer is no long in the prior owners name, and is not listed on the title as a lien holder, was this repossession legal? or has this trailer been "stolen?" and what should my next step.

I Have a Question About Lien on Property

My question involves real estate located in the State of: CA

Hi I have a question about a lien that was put on a property that is owned by my parents. I am curious, but they put a lien on his property because their was some construction done to the unit. This is a condo and apparently the association insurance would do all the job etc. Fast forward things my dad gets a letter that if the debt is not paid they would be put a lien on his property. So at that point my dad contacted the association I got ahold of the person in charge of billing and explained the situation (gave her all the info of the guy incharge of the association since he said he had the funds set to do the payment).

Fast forward things my dad finds out with the county that he has a lien on his property from them. I contacted the lady in charge and said it was removed and showed me paper work (basically recently sent the paper work to remove the lien which is not a concern anymore), but this is what I want to know. How is it possible to put a lien on a property without getting some type of judgement from the judicial system?

Ex Employer Harassment

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Pennsylvania

My father was let go earlier this year from his employer after dealing with a hostile work environment (including the owner whipping a jar of hotsauce at his head (and missing)). The owner my father did not get along well, but it was the owner's temper and hotheadedness that eventually led to the termination of my dad's employment. There was no argument, no fight in the end. My dad left and that was that. Or so we thought.

My father also uses the laundromat at the other end of the plaza from his (ex)employer's shop. He's been going there for years since they closed the laundromat that was closest to him. He still continues to go there since it's the next closest without having to drive several miles and waste gas. The problem now is one of his coworkers (we'll call him Joe), along with his old boss/owner, have been harassing him nonstop for the past couple of months. Today was the THIRD time the cops showed up at the laundromat because of a call Joe made spouting wild accusations. According to the police reports, my dad is accused of going up to the shop and staring in through the window, calling to threaten Joe and his wife/kids, blowing kisses at Joe, and overall antagonizing Joe outside of the store he works at.

Mind you the store has cameras all around that show the parking lot and outside, and Joe refuses to provide evidence of my dad being anywhere NEAR the shop. Joe also received a phone call (apparently this one is real but it sounds like a setup and definitely WASN'T from my father) that he had recorded in which the caller uses a voice-changer/scramble, threatens Joe's family, then identifies himself using my father's full name... It's clearly a ploy to falsify evidence; why would my dad use a voicechanger then proceed to identify himself?

The police station closest to the store literally laughed at Joe and told him not to bother them again after the second time they were called in for this supposed harassment. After that my father received a call of his own, again someone using a voice-changer, that threatened HIM this time and also threatened to drive to MY city and "carve your son's face and wear it as a mask". My dad played this message to the police but was told that they would "look into it". Nothing came of that.

Now, however, Joe was unsatisfied with that answer so he called a DIFFERENT police department for the third time around today. The officers that showed spoke to both parties individually; my dad at the laundromat and Joe at his shop. They came back and threatened my father, not believing his side of the story. My dad was told that if he visits that laundromat again and they get called out there, my father will be arrested for harassment.

He shouldn't have to drive another couple of miles out just because Joe keeps making accusations up to the police. My father doesn't go anywhere near his old store; he get's his laundry done at the laundromat and leaves.

Is there anything he can do to prevent being arrested next time besides going to a different laundromat out of town? He's calling the original station that received the first two reports to notify them that a different station was called. We'd like to lawyer up and take this company to court for the constant harassment toward my father. Do we have we need to take this to court, especially after 3 police reports filed against my dad? We'd at LEAST like a restraining order filed against them, but I don't think that's going to stop them from calling in bogus reports and going after my dad, will it? Please advise. Thanks!

Divorce: Divorce and Restrain Order

My question involves a marriage in the state of:CA
I dont really know how to start my post here since It is my nightmare ever in my life, it's even worse than a nightmare:
I was married for 6 yrs and have 2 boys, back to back, now they are 3 and 4. I was fulltime mom and stayed home for the boys.

Contracts and Agreements: Non-Compete/Non-Dealing Term

I have been contracting for someone whose business is registered and operated in the state of NY. I, myself, am based in another country.

The nature of the work means that the contractor's clients are often short-termed. Some clients are ongoing and do remain clients for long lengths of time, but with the option to cancel their agreement with a period of notice.

I have a non-compete clause in my contract, which understandably states:
"Should the service performed give the Second Party access to First Party’s clients, Second Party agrees not to solicit, either directly or indirectly, any services or recommendations from any of First Party’s clients. Once the relationship between first and second party terminates, Second Party shall be prohibited from soliciting and/or accepting business for a period of not less than two years from any of the First Party’s clients without express written permission from First Party."

It is not uncommon for former clients of the contractor to email me months later requesting assistance. Up until now, because I have been working for the contractor, I have informed the former clients that I am unable to work with them privately, and that they must go through the contractor.

I have terminated my contract with the contractor, and I have no problems with the clause. However, I want to be able to clarify if the above clause would typically refer only to existing/ongoing clients of the contractor, or would it also extend to former clients of the contractor that no longer have a business agreement. I don't want to get myself into a bad situation by giving the wrong information to a former client of the contractor, if they happen to reach out to me about my own services. I'm also not terminating the contract on bad terms; I simply have too much other work on to continue subcontracting for this contractor. To be honest, I wouldn't work with most of their former clients personally anyway, but there are one or two that I would be happy to take on if it is above board.

The other issue with the contract, which I only just noticed, is that although the contractor is based in NY state, and their business is also registered there (and has been since just prior to me signing the contract - I checked), the end of the contract states "This Contract shall be binding upon the Parties, their successors, heirs and assigns and shall be enforced under the laws of the Illinois." I'm confused as to how the contract could be enforced under the laws of Illinois if the business is registered in, and operated from, NY state?

Thanks for any words of wisdom :).

Consumer Law Issues: Credit Card Company Issue

My question involves a consumer law issue in the State of: Pennsylvania

Basically this is my issue: several years ago I applied for a secured card from a credit card company and was approved. They stated that as long as I was a good payer and kept my credit score good, I would be graduated in 6-12 months. In the past six years, they've given me an unsecured card, and have risen the limits on both cards. My credit score also rose from 500s to 750+. But the company will not graduate my secured card.

I want to sue them for fraud and due to the agreement that I signed with them, I can only sue in small claims or go through arbitration. Since arbitration is nearly always stacked against the plaintiff, I am choosing to go to small claims. I want to sue them for fraud, but in Philadelphia I can only sue in small claims for 1) exact damages (i.e. If a mechanic does work on your car and messes up and you incur actual costs, you can sue for that, or 2) lost or unpaid wages.

How do I go about suing my card company for what they're doing? And please - no insults, no troll, I will remove your post from my thread at the first sign of abuse and will notify the mods. I don't need the negativity and you don't need to waste your time. What my card company is doing is clearly unacceptable, and simply closing the card is not something I want to do as it will damage my score and I feel that they've reneged on their promises with me by not graduating me.

When Adult Children Move Out of Your Home

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Ohio

What is the law involving adult children who move out of your home and leave possessions? How long do they have the right to enter your home without your permission or without you being home? How does the law determine who owns what? If an adult child moves out, leaves a note notifying you that they have moved out, advised you in person when you contact them....that they no longer wish to have contact with you and that they will not be returning......do they have a right to enter your home at any time because they have a key? Or come through a window? How can you legally notify them that it will be considered trespassing if they enter your property? These adult children managed to remove quite a few things that did not belong to them....and left quite a few things that did. Our local sheriff advises that they have the right to enter the home because they lived their previously. There has to be a limit on this.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Business Ownership: My LLC

My question involves business law in the state of: Florida

Hello everyone,
My cofounder and I started working on an app about a year ago. Our startup is registered as an LLC in Florida. Currently I own 10% and he owns 90% of the company. As we started to run out of funds, I decided to inject more money into the startup and make the share split 20% and 80%. He agreed to the idea, but he said if I get more equity now I will get taxed big on that extra 10% (tax will be around 25%). He suggested that I put the money in now and wait until we get another investment and become an Inc. to get that extra equity. I feel like there's something fishy going on. Do you have any comments/suggestions? Is it possible to make another shareholders agreement stating that he agreed to give up 10% without anything in exchange? Will there be any taxes?

Thanks,

Co-Ownership: Fha Loan Fraud by Former Spouse

My question involves real estate located in the State of: Illinois
My former spouse forged my name to an FHA loan, the loan application and closing documents and refinanced our marital home after we separated and I moved out of the home. Intending to impose mortgage fraud on me she used only my employment income on the loan application even though she was working and earning $30K annually. I had no knowledge of this mortgage until December 23, 2016 when I found an unclaimed check for a settlement related to robo signatures. After I found the mortgage and note on the county website I realized I was not a part of this transaction and after 3 QWRs to the lender I received partial paperwork and it is clear my signature and initials were forged. Since May 2017 I have been searching for attorney to help and have been unable to find one that has experience in this area.
After forging my name to the FHA loan at 110% of the value of the home and taking $75K equity on (all occurring two years and 5 months prior to our divorce being finalized) she made a couple mortgage payments and lived in the marital home a year while it was being foreclosed upon. Despite me paying support so she could keep the home for our children, she deliberately defaulted on the loan. I had no knowledge of the foreclosure until after it happened and she move out of the house.
The proceeds of the January 2009 refinance appear to have been used to pay off several credit cards she had opened and maxed out using my name and hers on the accounts and then she received the remaining cash. (Note the closing statement provided by redacted the account numbers.) In September 2010, 20 months after refinancing the home she filed for bankruptcy, using my divorce attorney without my knowledge or permission. According to her bankruptcy documents obtained off PACER there was at that time $98,000 in debt. The bankruptcy was final April 2011, our divorce was then miraculously finalized in May 2011.
Although I was not a party to the bankruptcy some of the debt was also in my name and there were accounts I had no knowledge of that she had signed my name and used my income to obtain the credit account. All during this time we were legally separated, I was paying support and I was not living at home. I had hired an attorney for the divorce proceedings, who ultimately worked for my wife behind my back. The divorce settlement was extremely generous to my spouse and I was told by my attorney that was the best that could be negotiated based on the financial circumstances.
I am seeking an attorney that will help me file complaints with FHA (mortgage fraud), FBI (misstatement of income on a mortgage application) the various lenders who received huge fees, the title company, the notary that claimed she knew me personally and any other parties that financially benefitted from and conspired to make this fraudulent loan.
In addition to financial restitution from my former spouse I want my name cleared from the illegal federal FHA transaction. I am starting a second career as an Enrolled Agent with the IRS and this fraudulent loan and bankruptcy matter is unacceptable and may hinder my ability to become and Enrolled Agent if not corrected.
I have multiple organized binders with documents from the county records, Pacer and response from the QWRs sent to Wells Fargo and the originating lender. I am organized, ready to work and I have the capacity to pay legal fees to resolve this matter. Thank you in advance for considering my case
