Moving Out: Commercial Tenant Wants to Remove a Garage Door When Vacating

My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: South Carolina,

Tenant came with land I purchased in July. Property has house and small commercial garage, both rented for many years by the same couple. They live and he works on the property. 30 day Notice to Vacate given. Tenant has decided he wants to be recompensed for the cost of a garage door he had installed. He is planning to remove the supports for a roof extension he made. I suspect they will want the front door as well. Who knows what else will arise.

I have been trying to find the statutes that cover this kind of situation, but don't know exactly what terms to search.

And no, I have NO intention of ever being involved with "tenants" again...

Other Issues: Canadian Friend Wanting to Stay in Usa, How Do I Help Her

My friend came down for my wedding on Saturday she told the USA Border that she would buy a ticket on the 29th to go home she never told them when that she can remember.

She forgot to tell them that I invited her down to stay for 1 month or as long as she wants that I would take care of any expenses she has while she is here.

Now I know she can stay here legally in the USA 6 months but does she have to go back sooner cause she forgot to tell them about my invite while they were asking her question's?

Her intention was just to come down for my wedding but now she would like to stay down for 6 months possibly longer.

How can we go about changing this for her while she is staying in the USA?

Disputing Debts: Can Ex-Wife List Dad As Responsible for Medical Bills

My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: KS

My husband's ex-wife lists my husband as the financially responsible party every time she takes their son to a doctor, dentist, etc. Their divorce agreement says that he must carry insurance for the son (he does; and it's good insurance), that he pay a substantial child support payment (he does, always), and that she is responsible for medical out-of-pocket and co-pays. Is she allowed to disregard the divorce agreement and list him as financially responsible? According to the medical office and the bill collector they've hired, she can list anyone she wants and they are entitled to come after him for payment. How can this be right? The unpaid bills are now substantial (close to $1000), but aren't that much more than one month's child support. So my questions are : 1) is she legally allowed to list someone as financially responsible without their consent? 2) Is the medical clinic and bill collector required to desist from putting this to his charge (destroying his outstanding credit record) and contact her for payment once we tell them that she is legally required to pay these bills? 3) How do we fix this problem? Talking to her isn't going to work, obviously. It may be worth noting that she has never in the 8 years I've been around, shared ANY medical information (I contacted the allergy clinic and got the needed information to provide the medications he needed at school myself - thankfully, the clinic WAS willing to help me with that), educational information, or anything else that requires any decision, with my husband in spite of their having joint custody. She is singularly uncooperative about complying with a number of very specific details in their formal parenting agreement and has backed out on informal but very important agreements we've made about education and other issues after getting what she wanted from us (for example : my driving several hours per week for several years during elementary and middle school to take him across town to the school she wanted him in, then backing out on allowing him in return to attend HS near us (in one of the best schools in the state) - and constantly asking me to again drive him across town to attend one of the worst high schools in the area - she's willing to leave him stranded if I don't comply). Mom has convinced son that his friends near us "aren't really my friends; they're just people you make me go to church with" and so on. My husband feels there is no point in going to court as the court would always tend to side with the mom and it would just cost us a lot of money.

Towing: Legal Requirement to Warn Resident of Apartment Prior to Towing (FL)

I live in Florida, and my wife is a Mississippi resident. I drive a van that is registered to her, and has Mississippi plates.

Recently, the van failed to start. It's a 2003 with 250,000 miles on it ... so I'm understandably hesitant to drag it down to the shop. I'm in the process of trying to get a copy of the title so I can sell it or junk it. This involves a bit of a wait period due to the fact that my wife will spend 2-3 weeks working in Mississippi, then return to Florida for 2-3 weeks, and the title was still in Mississippi.

My daughter told me today that a maintenance worker with the apartment complex told her they were going to tow the van. I'm going to go explain the circumstance to them, but I was a little taken aback. The van is registered with the complex, there's no warning sticker on the van, and I haven't received any written notice. I was just surprised they wouldn't come talk to me about it or call me ... instead, it was just a passing comment to my middle school child.

Is there any requirement to notify someone before you tow a vehicle that is otherwise legally parked?

Class Actions: How to Reclaim Belongings when Kicked and Not Allowed Back in

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Florida

I have a friend who has been kicked out from his ex-partners house after a mutual break up, with nothing but the shirt on his back. When they lived together my friend had paid the rent from the time he moved in until the time he was kicked out, for 8 to 9 months. He handed his ex cash every time so he doesn't have proof of this. My friend doesn't want to move back in, but after being kicked out he hasn't been allowed back into the house to retrieve his belongings unless he agrees to move back in and continue to pay for his ex-partners rent every month. Obviously my friend does not want to do this. What can he do, what kind of help should he seek, law enforcement? Take it to court? It's been almost a week now since he was given the boot. I feel really bad for my friend he is a really good, kind hearted person and doesn't deserve this.

Divorce: Spouse's Personal Information (Ssn, Dl, Etc.) Needed to Get Divorced

My question involves a marriage in the state of: TEXAS

I have filed for divorce and served my husband personally and he has defaulted.

The divorce involves a minor child. I will be named sole managing conservator and he shall have no right to possession or access unless mutually agreed upon in advance (domestic violence with court ordered protection, zero contact with the child for the past 8 years, he has defaulted when I asked for this in my petition, and I have a temp order to this effect already). No support will be ordered due to lack of personal jurisdiction over my soon-to-be-ex according to the UISFA.

I do not have a lawyer and am writing the final decree myself. There's only one point I'm really hung up on:

The TX family code says that the final decree must include personal information for all parties including SSN, Driver lisence number, home address, etc. in any suit affecting the parent-child relationship.

Ex has been basically MIA for the past 7/8 years. I do not have any of his personal information beyond a mailing address (his sister's address). He has been wholly uncooperative with giving me any information. (No idea why, so please don't ask me.) I haven't had any luck finding it on my own so far.

It seems that the court either wants to order him to give his personal information and keep it current OR they want to decide that he would be in danger if he did.

Q: Can they order him to do this without personal jurisdiction over him?

I just don't know how to word the final decree if they can. As it stands I just put what little information I have and stated the rest as unknown and put the required warning, "EACH PERSON WHO IS A PART TO THIS ORDER IS ORDERED TO NOTIFY EVERY OTHER PARTY, THE COURT, AND THE STATE CHILD SUPPORT REGISTRY OF ANY CHANGE IN THE PARTY’S: [personal information]..."

The way it is worded sounds like it is his responsibility to provide this information. Could I have the decree signed as-is (without all of his information) and then just let him deal with complying with the order by supplying the information after the fact? Or will I not be able to get divorced without knowing all of his personal information first....because that would be a real problem....

These are the options in my mind:
-The court can not order him to provide his personal information without personal jurisdiction over him and this should be left out of the final decree altogether.
-The court can order him to provide his personal information. I should provide what I know and leave the rest in his hands once the decree is signed by the judge and the order goes into effect.
-The court can order him to provide his information AND it needs to be part of the final decree in order for the judge to sign it. :(

Does anyone know what to do here?
(Please don't say hire a lawyer. I can't afford one and have been turned down for legal aid twice.)
