Question

I am a small time licensed general contractor. I did a small remodel job for a client. He was very pleased with the result, but is dragging his feet on paying me in full. We did sign a simple contract prior to beginning the job, which states " prompt payment is expected. If payment in full is not received within 30 days of completion of job, a 25% late fee on unpaid balance will be incurred" He is well over the 30 day period. I informed him that I am charging the late fee, and he has since ceased communication. Do I lien the property, or proceed to small claims court? What does a lien cost? He owes me @ $2000.00. I worked hard for the client, and could sure use the $$. Thanks.

Answer

Take him to small claims court.

Question

My daughter, due to chronic asthma, is frequently ill in the fall/winter. The facility where she goes for gymnastics has changed their policy to no make up or refunds on missed classes. I feel this descriminates against my daughter and her medical condition. She has no control over when she is ill. Under ADA could this policy be considered descrimination against those with chronic illnesses?

Answer

Not unless others without disabilities get makeup time.

Question

My daughter is being sued by State Farm Insurance in a subrogation claim. They are suing for the $225k they paid to their insured after my daughter's insurance limits were exceeded. The suit is filed in the State Court of Fulton County - Civil Division as it stemmed from an auto accident in Fulton County. My daughter no longer resides in Georgia and was served process in NC. My question is this:

What does the State Court of Fulton County have at their disposal vis-a-vis enforcement/collection of a judgement rendered in Atlanta against a non-resident defendant. I should also mention my daughter has no assets and is waiting to hear back on an application for subsidized housing.

Does the Court have to have personal jurisdiction over her in a case like this?

Answer

Since the accident happened in Fulton County and she apparently formerly lived in Georgia, there appears to be no question as to jurisidiction.

She needs to see a lawyer. First of all, if and when she loses, she carries that judgment for years if not decades. That means her future paychecks and bank accounts and assets can be seized. Also, many states will suspend a license, for life, for an unpaid judgment (Georgia does) if the judgment holder requests.

Likely, her smart move is to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Unless the accident is from a DUI or deliberate act, the whole debt is probably dischargeable. Instead of focusing on a defense, help her with seeing a Bankruptcy lawyer. That may be a cheap ending to an expensive case.

Answer

I think the import of your question is: does she have to defend the case in Fulton County GA? If she was personally served, even in NC, I would recommend that the case be defended. If not, the case will "go into default" and a judgment entered against her in Georgia for the full amount. Next step--after the judgement is obtained State Farm will send the case to a "collection" lawyer in NC who will engage in post-judgment discovery including sending written interrogatories and setting a post-judgment deposition by subpoena. If your daughter doesn't co-operate the lawyer in NC can seek an order compelling her to, and if she still doesn't cooperate with this post-judgment activity, she can be sent to jail for contempt until she does. They will find out where her bank accounts are and where she works and will file garnishments in both places to get money from them to satisfy her judgment. Also, most states (Georgia for sure--I don't know about NC) give the judgment creditor in a car wreck the right to have the defendant's driver's license revoked and tags taken off the car until the judgment is satisfied. How to beat this: (1) Defend the case in State Court of Fulton and win (I don't know the facts--maybe she wasn't at fault in the wreck?) You'll have to hire an attorney in Georgia to do that. (2) File for bankruptcy. (3) Make a deal. Enter into a payment plan or beg/borrow enough money to negotiate a lump sum settlement. State Farm isn't crazy. That company understands that something is better than nothing and if your daughter goes the bankruptcy route State Farm will get nothing.

Question

do i need to forward an estimated FIT payment and/or state of NJ estimated tax payment when I receive a partial executor's commission or can i just declare it and pay taxes on it when i file my 2014 returns?

Answer

Best is to pay the estimated tax now, to avoid a possible penalty for underpayment of estimated taxes. Do not include self-employment SS taxes in the federal payment, as these commissions are not considered self-employment income.

Question

My relative has brought her immigrant husband to the US, and signed an Affidavit of Support. They are now separated and he's working under the table (she knows about it) and therefore has "no" income. Since he has "no" income she continues to pay the full amount required under the Affidavit. This seems like he is stealing from her, and someone told me this is a felony. Is that true? What should she do?

Answer

She is not required to pay any amount, per se, as the Petitioner of an Immigrant Visa. The sole reason for the Affidavit of Support is to legally allow a Government Agency to seek reimbursement from the "Sponsor" if the immigrant obtains a means-tested Government benefit, such as welfare or food stamps. It is not intended for the immigrant to extort money from the Sponsor. However, Court ordered spousal or child support is a totally different issue. I suggest that she seek counsel from a Family Law Attorney in the State in which she resides.

Criminal law issues reside with the District Attorney. The spouse would need to be arrested for a crime first.

If on probation and u violate with a felony charge what happens?

Answer

Usually a violation of probation petition is filed. Let your probation officer know as soon as possible that you were arrested. Often a violation of probation results in jail time, but not always. Sometimes I have negotiated with the DA on the new case and get the DA to agree not to ask for jail time if a violation of probation is filed.

Question

Mother Died on 2-2-2014, Should I Sign my Rights as Administrator for Will and Estate Rights ReNunciation To a Family Member?

I Do Not what to give up my Rights to the 2 Cars which I was Promised by my Mother(Verbal Agreement). I have had a lot of Problems with All my Family Members. My Youngest Sister has POA to my Mom's Assets because of Medicaid. There will be an attempt for a Medicaid Estate Refund, Mom's House was Signed over to my Brother, Sister, and I about Three Years ago. What is the Best Course of Action for me. I Need HELP NOW !!!! Thank you.

Answer

Yes you need sound legal advice. The way to get it is to make an appointment to see an attorney who handles estates. There is no way with such limited information could any attorney give you sound legal advice. Good luck.

John

Answer

Verbal agreements are not enforceable in terms of transferring assets unless you are claiming that your mother made a completed gift of the cars to you prior to her death. If your mother made a will then her property passes as per the will. If she did not make a will, then her assets will pass as per the intestacy laws of the state where she lived at the time of her death. There may be limited circumstances where oral expressions would prevail but you post no details so I agree with Attorney Davidson that you need an attorney.

Power of attorney ends at death, so the fact that your sister was power of attorney is meaningless. The question is did your mother have a will and who is the personal representative?

Medicaid by law is obligated to seek recovery from your mother's estate. You suggest that your mother conveyed her land away 3 years ago and was on Medicaid. That is not possible. Medicaid has a 5 year lookback period from the time your mother applied for Medicaid. Either your mother conveyed the property away more than 5 years before the time that she needed Medicaid or she engaged in fraud or she would have been ineligible to receive it before the 5 year period expired. Or you have misstated the facts which is another reason why you need to speak to an attorney.

I am not sure what you are being asked to sign. If its just a consent to have a family member be the administrator of the estate, it would probably be o, but without looking at the form, no attorney would tell you to sign a document that you do not understand.

If you are only being asked to consent to the appointment of an administrator, you are not giving up any rights of inheritance. However, heirs can only inherit assets after all the debts have been paid and your post suggests that Medicaid is going to seek reimbursement. In that case, there will not be anything left to inherit if your mother only owned the cars. You could buy the cars from the estate but then you add that you had problems with the family and the administrator could sell them to someone else.

I would consult a probate attorney who practices in the county/state where your mother lived at the time of her death and pay the attorney to review both the form you are being asked to sign and the circumstances here including whether any verbal expressions would be enforceable.

Question

We are company A, and we are hiring a sub-contractor (individual) who will be creating a sole proprietorship, LLC referred to as company B. Company A is asking company B to sign a 6 month non-compete clause. Company B will be selling company A's services, but will have 100% interaction with the customer. Company B will also use company A's collateral, contracts, and billing systems. If company B decides to quit, move to a similar company, or decides to fulfill services internally, which company would own that customer, based on the information provided above?

Answer

First, no one "owns" the customer. The customer goes with the party they determine. This may create claims between the vendors, but not against the customer. . Second, in general, non compete clauses are unenforcable in California unless entered into in connection with the sale of a business and its goodwill. California Business and Professions Code. There are possible agreements which you may be able to utilize to discourage this type of conduct, but the circumstances you describe make it very difficult to protect yourself ( assuming you are Company A. You need to engage counsel with expertise in the area to guide you through this and discuss in detail the alternatives available to you. .

21 year old has drug parphnialla in her room can a parent get in trouble if they live in the same home

Question

21 year old has drug parphnialla in her room can a parent get in trouble if they live in the same home

Answer

Yes, if the police raid a house (or stop a car), there is a chance that anyone present could be suspected of possessing the contraband. If the true owner took full responsibility, however, the other occupants might not be charged, all occupants are fair game if there is no clear owner. A better question might be why you don't just get the contraband out of your house? Real estate or cars used for drug enterprises can potentially be seized and forfeited by authorities, so there are always real risks in allowing it.

Question

My ex-husband wants to sign his rights over to our 3 and 4 year old daughters. The courts ruled over a year ago that he was to have no contact with them. Anyways my question I think he wants to sign his rights over so his mom can try and get grandparental rights, is that possible? She lives like 6 hours away and the girls don't even really know her. Also I live in texas!

Answer

Just because a parent wants to terminate his parental rights does not mean that a judge will sign the paperwork. Also, if he terminates his parental rights it does not mean that his mom will get "grandparent" rights since technically she would no longer be a grandparent.

I recommend that you talk to an attorney in your county.

I would not file anything on his behalf. Make him file & pay the money. But, in the meantime, find the toughest and meanest family law attorney that you can. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com.

what is temporaly custidy

Question

what is temporaly custidy

Answer

Temporary custody in regard to what?

Temporary means not permanent, for a short time. Custody means having possession of something.

So having temporary custody would mean having possession of something for a short time.

For example, in a child custody case between a mother and father, the child has to spend a majority of time with one parent or the other (a perfect 50-50 is very difficult to achieve). The parent who has the children the majority of time will be called the custodial parent. The other parent who maybe gets to see the children on evenings or weekends has periods of temporary partial custody.

This is in the child custody setting. Since your question is posted under probate, estates, wills & trusts then it may have a different meaning. You can get a definition from going to a dictionary site on the web.

So what is your real issue that you need legal help with? Try reposting that in the proper section (if the issue does not relate to probate & estates) with more details about what is going on so any attorney may help you.

Question

The seller is asking us to pay more money because he doesn't want to pay for certain repairs to the house he is selling. We already signed contract 2 weeks ago agreeing to $39,900 - his full asking price. Now he wants $800 more because he wants to make a better profit on selling his house. Can he legally do this? I received escrow papers today that state our original agreed price.

Answer

Your written contract that was agreed upon determines the purchase price. You have that in front of you, and it should tell you who is responsible for what repairs, and what items are considered contingencies. You may want to consult in person with an attorney and have them review the contract.

Answer

The terms in the signed contract will govern if this progresses to litigation, but it might be quicker, cheaper and easier to relent and accept the proposed change without escalating the battle. The boundary between what's legally enforceable and what's a common-sense concession is often very fuzzy. Maybe this seller just needs to be told he's being a jerk.

Answer

Assuming you mean you are the buyer and have a valid written contract with all the terms properly included, then the seller can't change those terms in escrow without all parties agreement. You wouldn't have to agree. But, see Mr Whipple's reasonable advice.

Question

can i establish a childsupp. order if my child is over 18?The father came here from texas to san diego superior court to get legal custody of him when my son was 2 years old. the judge dismissed case so i raised him up here for 18 years. he never paid any support.Can i establish a case and ask for back support for 18 years as well? thanks so much: Adel

Answer

No.

Answer

Once the child turns 18 and is not in high school, the court no longer has jurisdiction to award support. You cannot go retroactively and seek support if you don't have existing support orders. If the child still is in high school( up to the age of 19 )support can be paid if you quickly get an order. If you're not certain as to your legal rights, please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.

Question

My husband foreclosed on his home (loan only in his name, not mine) in 2013. His loan was through BB&T, but it was a USDA loan. If we file taxes jointly for 2013 or any year after, and the gov't chooses to collect the debt, can they garnish my wages or hold me accountable for the repayment other than taking our refund since we filed taxes together? Also, if we file jointly and the IRS chooses to take that refund as debt repayment, would I be able to file the form for injured spouse allocation in this instance to at least get what I would have collected married filing separately? In case it makes any difference, the loan/house was in WV and we now reside in NC.

Answer

Your questions appear to be primarily related to taxes. You may want to consult an accountant or tax advisor moreso than a lawyer.

Answer

I agree with Attorney O'Neal. I am not a tax lawyer but you should not file a joint return as you will be liable for any taxes owed by your spouse if the bank/lender files a 1099c. While the innocent spouse exemption may apply, it will be easier to prevent the IRS from taking the money in the first place rather than fight to get it back. So I would not file jointly. But you need to consult a real CPA - not someone at one of those tax places.

Question

What can my daughter do to get her vehicle back from a month of being impounded by local sherrifs dept. They have asked for $5,000.00 to get vehicle out they have taken one month to notify us of the price and a paralegal has done the comunicting for the sherifs office. She told us we needed to counter offer a sum of money we could afford to pay we really can not afford the large amount of 5000,00 they want to drop the impoundment. They say it is because the vehicle was involved In a buglery. My daughters charges were dropped but the guy is still in jail. The police have writen a report and paralegal said it states that the two are boyfriend girlfriend but she said the police assumed this my daughter did not even know his last name and we told them that. This did not seem to matter. She was arrested then charges dropped for burglary after offering a person she really did not know only through an aquantance a ride home ...he told her to stop car then got out she thought he was going to someones house after he disapeared she ran out of gas and was just waiting to figure out what to do when the guy reappeared. He had broken into a vehicle then tried to help push her car thats when the police happened upon them and the guy took off running and was captured hiding in a school grounds. He has been charged and my daughter was not. My problem is why is she being penalized for such a large amount of money to get her vehicle back her personal items are still in the car herpurse licence student id. She is a college student and needs her vehicle to get to classes we can not continue to drive her and this has resulted in her missing classes. She can't work without transportation it has been over a month and now the sherrifs paralegal says she has until November 11 2013 to counter offer again more money we already offered 10 percent which is too much I just cant afford it. My husband has been out of work 3 years and I recently list my job. Why is the price so high and can anything be done ...my daughter is innocent and charges were dropped. They want more money closer to the 5000,00 is what she told me this seems like a way for the police to make money . Van they sieze the vehicle grom my daughter if we vant pay to auctiom it off? I am very worried she will loose the car. Can someone help us understand. I have tried to get a police report to see exactly what officer wrote. As of yet I have not been able to get a report have been at the mercy of person contacting us about this issue.

.

Answer

You could sue the sheriff, or person detaining the vehicle, if you feel it has been improperly held. Your question however is not really a criminal law one, so I suggest you try calling a civil attorney in your area to see what can be done.

Question

if a person lived for 20years + in an appartment then died and smoked in the aprt the whole time can the owner or agent come after a 3rd party

Answer

What?

Answer

Who is the 3rd party, and why would the landlord come after him?

If a tenant caused damage to an apartment, a landlord is entitled to sue for the costs to repair.

If the tenant died, then the landlord would have to sue the estate.

If there were other tenants in the unit, the landlord could also sue them.

Question

Hello, I was charged with a petty theft crime by my former employer Abercrombie. 2 weeks ago. The Abercrombie's asset protection department confronted me, and had me wite a letter of confession. I was then given a misdemeanor ticket and told to appear in court in June. I am 18 and this is my first misdemeanor. I have never been in court before, and was advised to request a deferred prosecution or admission into a diversion program. I don't know how or when to request either of them, and don't know how to go about minimizing my charge.

Please & thank you for the help

Answer

The short answer is - on any criminal case, you absolutely need an attorney. There may be defenses to the charge - or to get you into an alternate disposition program if it is available in your area.

At least consult with a local criminal defense attorney to discuss things.

Answer

Mr Dane is correct but if you absolutely cannot afford a private. attorney

request that the court appoint a public defender to represent you. Do not do anything until you have spoken to the public defender.

Question

My son & his wife were divorced in state of Georgia this year. He remarried recently, but his faithful payments of child support has just been stopped (temporarily) because he lost his job. Can his ex get his new wife's paycheck garnished?

Answer

No, but since he can lose his driver's license or even be jailed for non-payment of support, she might consider helping him out.

Answer

A spouse is not legally responsible for paying child support for the other spouse's child. Your son needs to understand, however, that unless the order is modified, he is responsible for payment. If he goes more than 30 days without providing support, the mother could make an application for an abandonment warrant, his driver's license could be suspended, etc. The further behind he gets the harder it is to dig out. I suggest he try to make as much of the support payment as possible.

If I pick a wallet from the street , am I criminal ?

Question

If I pick a wallet from the street , am I criminal ?

Answer

Only if you keep it and use its contents for personal gain without taking the steps needed to attempt to get it returned to its rightful owner. There is a difference between lost and abandoned property in the law -- people generally do not abandon items of value on a street. They lose them, and there are laws (both common law and statutory) to protect them. But simply picking it up, no.

Question

Notarized statements filed 56 years ago by our subdivision developer empower the owners of two specific lots out of 15 to, without consultation, impose new financial charges on the other 13 owners for all costs relating to an adjoining lake outside of and not owned by the subdivison. How can this be legally binding? Can the covenant be broken?

Answer

I would suggest that you arrange for a consultation with an attorney

who handles zoning, land use, and real property law issues in the

area where your subdivision is located for an opinion and appropriate

legal guidance in this matter.

Question

I am considering the purchase of the name and client base contractual agreements (if possible) of a small accounting firm. The single owner/CPA has multiple written 1-3 years contracts for accounting services which are essentially the basis for his asking price for his firm. None of the contracts with his clients mention assignment or delegation, but the contracts also do not specify who will perform the accounting. As the sole accountant of the firm,it could be reasonably expected by his clients that he would be performing the accounting work.

Will I be able to hold these clients to contractual payments, or can they successfully argue that the contract is personal in nature--i.e. the contracts were made with the understanding that only the former owner would be doing the work?

Answer

Of course it would be worth it to have an experienced business attorney (& litigator) to review the agreements

I am in Eden Prairie

Answer

You should hire a private attorney to review the proposed agreement, and those contracts, and provide you with a legal opinion. Tricia Dwyer Esq, Small Business Law Attorney

Question

My wife and I live in Georgia. We obtained temporary custody of her grandson(not a blood relation to me). We are now going thru a divorce and she is talking about child support. She has not tried to get support from the biological parents. Can I be made to pay support for her grandson??

Answer

If the child is not yours and you did not adopt the child, the answer would be no. However, her needs and expenses could be relevant if she seeks alimony, so indirectly the child could have a possible effect. You should seek a lawyer ASAP in the divorce.

Answer

When grandparents are awarded custody, it is the parents requirement to pay child support to them. Since you are not a relative, she would need to seek child support from the child's biological parents. I suggest you retain a family law attorney to help get you through this to protect your interests.

There is no jail time for simple possession, but you need to quash the warrant. Have a lawyer file a motion b4 you're arrested. Sending in a money order will not be enough.

Question

My husband and I don't have a will. He says we don't need one as the surviving spouse gets everything anyway. I think we do so that we can protect everything we worked for without our children and grandchildren thinking they can just come in and take what's ours. If one of us dies without a will does the living spouse get everything?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Answer

The issue isn't so much as having a will drafted, it is having your estate looked at. That is to say, how things are titled, their values and how you want things to go upon either of your passing, and then the subsequent death of the survivor. To many people make assumptions about how things go upon the death of a person, only to discover they need to pursue a relatively expensive process that could have been avoided with some pre-death planning at a much lower cost.

I'd be happy to discuss this with the both of you during a free consultation.

Question

I would like to know if there is any recourse against a hospital for the poor care my wife has received. She went into the hospital on 12/29 with stomach pains, they did not perform any test for 3 days while she is doubled over in pain. On the 4th day she saw a gi doctor who began to evaluate her and order tests. He went on vacation and no other doctor for GI saw her till we complained days later, only to find she was not put on the other doctors list. There are several doctors seeing her and none of them are communicating for her treatment. They have identified the problem to be her gallbladder, over 10 days ago. But have left her in pain.... Each time she is told a doctor or surgeon will come see her it takes 3-4-5 days. It is now 25 days of her in pain and still no surgery is scheduled. I am outraged that they have such poor communication and have left my wife double over in pain for such a long time. The only saving grace is that the nurses have done all they can to make her comfortable.

She is a kidney transplant patient and must go to tampa general. Or I would have moved her out already.

Question

After a murder investigation is finished and the report is given to the family...what

sort of things can the family ask to have back...My son's phone and some reports

have not been given to the family and it has been over a year. What am I legally

entitled to ask for?

Answer

Generally, a murder victims' heirs at law (spouse, children, parents, etc.) can ask for all the belongings that are not likely to be evidence in the trial of the person(s) accused or the murder. The defendant's family may not have rights to property, but the defendant and their attorney might.

Many reports are public records. Those that are can be obtained by Subpeona or formal Freedom of Information Act requests. Some can be had by going to the police station and paying the retrieval and copying costs. Most documents will be redacted (blacked out) in some places to prevent private information from being divulged.

If it has only been a year, and no arrest, then much of the information will be of an ongoing investigation fashion in the eyes of the record / evidence keepers. I do not know if they will claim that the phone is need for further investigation.

Good luck

Question

We closed on our newly built home about six months ago. The shower in the master bedroom was not constructed properly and has caused significant water damage and mold. We were first aware of the issue about 3 or 4 months ago. The warranty department has been involved but has not fixed the problem though they have tried. We would like to move from the house because of concerns with current and future mold problems. What legal recourse do we have? Is there like a lemon law for new homes?

Answer

You need to give the builder adequate opportunity to repair first. Document, in writing, all of the problems and the history of repairs. If you don't get satisfaction, you are required to follow the procedures outlines in your home contract and/or warranty, which may include arbitration. You should have the problem looked at by an independent plumber/bath specialist of your own choosing to identify the problem and give you an estimate of what it would cost to remedy. You should probably have the assistance of counsel to proceed on these matters since it's hard to follow all the the steps by yourself.

Answer

Your father should consult with a personal injury attorney to see if he has any claims under the Nursing Home Care Act. Injury lawyers offer free consultations and work on contingency fee.

Answer

Consult with an attorney. Personal Injury Attorneys offer free consults and get paid out of the recovery, so you pay no "up front" attorney fees.

Answer

If your father fell at a nursing home, then yes, the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act, provides the basis for a claim. If the fall occurred in the hospital, it is a medical malpractice case. In either scenario, the NH or hospital staff had a duty to assess what specific factors created your father's high risk for falls, and then implement an appropriate plan of care to protect him against injuries due to falls.

Removing an alarm, which is intended to protect against falls, for no valid medical reason, may be a negligent act. Your father's recourse is to present a claim against the NH or hospital to recover compensation for pain and suffering, medical expenses and loss of the ability to engage in his normal activities.

Attorneys working in this area of law do work on contingent fee basis - they get paid only if successful in obtaining recovery.

Also, I would suggest keeping a close eye on your father. Elderly fall victims are at risk for a variety of complications once a fracture occurs.

Answer

Your father definitely has a case worth investigating in order to determine exactly what happened, why it happened, how it happened and what caused his injuries. You need to obtain the medical records as soon as possible and take them to an experienced malpractice and injury victims lawyer. You should do so promptly.

Question

Hello, I am the mother of a 11 month old boy, born in the U.S. His father is an immigrant, who has a green card, was born in Senegal Africa, and has been in the U.S for three years. He has threatened me to take my son against my wishes back to Senegal. We have a contentious relationship. I went against his wishes to abort my son, and he has only spent time with my son a handful of times and had only one overnight visit with him. He told me he is going to make me suffer emotionally because I am making him suffer financially with child support. My question is we have a court date approaching where he is requesting visitations time and joint custody. I know he will eventually kidnap him so can I be granted supervised visitation, and ask to relocate to California as well? I am currently living on the New Jersey. I want to request to move because I will have financial help and support there, but I don't know how to request this to the judge? I truly can't have the father alone with my son because I may not see him again one day.

Question

my current employer, 2 lawyers, one is retiring, the other going to in-house counsel for client. I am told that client will now pay me but i'm not interested in job=its not same position and too physically demanding. Client (new employer) is tyrant. Current employer says firm not ending, just they will no longer compensate me. New employer will match salary but still not interested. If they force me to go on his payroll, is that in effect laying me off? Can I claim unemployment to find suitable work?

Answer

It seems to me that you cannot be forced to work for an employer who is not the one for whom you've been working and who is unacceptable to you. If there no longer is work for you at the law firm, then it seems that you have been laid off and, barring complications, should qualify to receive unemployment compensation so long as you are diligently pursuing new work.

Can I be convicted of aggrevated sexual battery on a minor, indecent liberties with a minor, and indecent liberties with a minor while in supervisory position just from the "victims" statement/testimony in the commonwealth of virgina circuit court?

Yes! Unless the victim is incompetent to testify, then the testimony alone can be sufficient to convict you. If you are facing this issue, I strongly urge you to consult with an attorney as soon as possible. The issues and collateral consequences related to an accusation or charge related to these matters will have life-long consequences.

We are really upset about this.

What can we possibly do to get the money back?

Thank you.

Eeva Jyrala

Answer

If the judgment is a money judgment, then it does not matter that specific funds were released to someone else. You can enforce the judgment in the same manner as other judgments, by levying and attaching assets that belong to the judgment debtor.

If the judgment was a specific order of restitution against a named defendant, then you may have to enforce through contempt. This can be very tricky, as contempt is not to be used to enforce money judgments other than family law orders. I do suggest you have this reviewed by a competent attorney.

Answer

Send written letter to attorney with this information indicating that there was a judgment entered against you which may have been a court error inasmuch as it looks like the case was suppose to be dismissed because a settlement was reached. Without knowing what the terms of the settlement were. . . . . i.e. was the case to be dismissed after you paid some money? It is curious to see a Judgment entered. Inform the attorney that if he fails to communicate with you in writing to explain what this means within 5 days you will file a complaint with the State Bar about his failure to communicate with you, and you will seek out another attorney to help you.

As an attorney, if I were to receive a letter from a client like that, I would be JUMPING to attention immediately and handle it. You are giving him a chance to fix his mistake before another attorney gets their hands on it and things get worse.

Question

Follow up on question: What is the Los Angeles Civil Form 234 used for?

(LACIV 234, Proof of Service, Notice of Appeal - Administrative Hearing)

I live in Los Angeles County, California. I was on vacation (came back today) when a Process Server served a summons and complaint 15 days ago on my cousin who was pet and house sitting for me. The front wood door was opened but the security steel door was closed when the Process Server asked for me after which my cousin (we are both male) replied that I was on vacation. Nevertheless, the process server dropped the documents on my welcome mat. A Proof of Service has been filed with the Court and I know I have 15 days to file an Answer. Is LACIV 234 used to challenge the Proof of Service? And how does the process work regarding the appeal and administrative hearing?

Thank you.

Answer

Thank you for providing some detail. That form is used for proving that someone was served with an administrative appeal. Administrative appeals in Los Angeles run the gamut from zoning decisions to disputing parking tickets. It does not sound like that is what is going on. It sounds as though you are in a full blown lawsuit.

The proper motion to challenge service is a motion to quash. There is no form for that and it is simply filed on pleading paper. But you may have been served via substituted service. It would help to know what the actual proof of service filed with the court states. Again, I am making assumptions here. You do not state that it is an unlawful detainer (eviction) which would only give you 5 days to challenge service and not 30. That is why details are important.

what rights do siblings have if poa willnot give info on affairs-and what can be done if mis conduct is a concern?

Question

what rights do siblings have if poa willnot give info on affairs-and what can be done if mis conduct is a concern?

Answer

You can't get a meaningful answer withing giving us he clear facts. Your post makes no sense.

Answer

I am assuming that what you are asking is that the agent under a power of attorney, who happens to be your sibling (and the principal is probably your parent) will not give out information so you want to know what is being done, correct?

The answer is it depends. It depends on a whole bunch of information you do not provide. First, who is the principal - the person made the power of attorney? What is their mental state now and what was it when the person signed the power of attorney? Where did the principal live when the power of attorney was executed? Where do they live now? Are they still living in the same state where the power of attorney was executed? What assets did the principal own when the power of attorney was executed? How about now, to the best of your knowledge?

What kind of power of attorney is this? One for finances or health or both? Was the power of attorney drafted by a lawyer? What does the power of attorney say in regards to requiring the power of attorney to file inventories/accountings? If financial, has it been filed? If not, what does the state law say about using a power of attorney that has not been recorded?

The answers to these questions will dictate what you do next. A financial power only concerns finances. Some powers of attorney can be drafted in a way that does not require the power of attorney to file inventories/accountings. States usually require the power of attorney to be recorded when the agent goes to use it. Has it been recorded here? If so, you need to get a copy of it and use it.

Powers of attorneys can be revoked. If the principal is of sound mind, then he or she can simply revoke it and make a new power of attorney if the principal does not like what the agent is doing. If the power of attorney has been recorded then the revocation must also be recorded.

Powers of attorney can always be overridden by guardianship/conservatorship proceedings. In guardianship/conservatorship there are two concepts - guardian of the person and a conservatorship or guardianship of the property. The same person can be in charge of both things or they can be different people. The conservator/guardian of property manages the assets for the principal or ward. The guardian of the person manages the person's support/care and sees to it that they are appropriately housed, clothed, fed, get medical or other care and so on.

To bring a guardianship/conservatorship proceeding, to prevail you must prove that the principal/ward is mentally incompetent and cannot manage his/her financial affairs and/or care for his/her person.

For example, if mother is in a nursing home, is 92, bedridden and has advanced stage of alzheimer's, proving incompetency is not going to be very hard. If father is 62, can get around trusts agent, and is mentally sound, then a challenge is not very likely to succeed.

Guardianship/conservatorship proceedings, like all court proceedings, costs money. The person bringing the guardianship must be ready and willing to assume the duties if successful. Further, the person seeking it has to be able to prove incompetency which will mean talking to the principals doctors or other health care providers and getting information about the principal's condition.

In answer to your question, the agent under a valid power of attorney does not need to provide you with any information just because you happen to be a sibling. Perhaps the agent has a moral duty, but not a legal one. If the power of attorney must under state law provide an inventory and accounting, has the agent done this? If not, perhaps the principal can revoke the power of attorney or perhaps the agent can be removed for misfeasance.

What makes you think there is something funny going on? Is this a situation where the principal had assets before the power of attorney was executed and had very little after the agent was in charge? If so, then the power of attorney probably ought to be revoked and a full accounting demanded by the principal which can then be reviewed. The principal would then be free to pursue legal action against the former agent. If the principal is no longer mentally competent then revocation will not work and you will have to pursue a guardianship proceeding. Once appointed guardian/conservator, the guardian/conservator can demand a full accounting by the prior agent and, if there is misconduct, pursue legal action to try to recover the assets.

Question

I have an issue with my Property Manager. We have no contract. Now he is charging me 20% of all rents. Never got a 1099 in years. And I believe he has been swindling me when it comes to remodeling homes.

For example, he claims $ 3,000 had been paid for labor (on a house I bought which wouldn't even require paint, only felling of 2 trees and minor work. $ xx,xxx later he would not even explain what the "labor" was for!! Responding I'm harrassing him with such a question.

The thing is, he usually pays someone $ 10 an hour. That's a lot of work...

One MH remodel, he just said "$ 7,500". Plus a $ 5,000 fee. I kept probing as to ACTUAL COST, especially thousands claimed to be spent on some electrical heating only device. (A few weeks ago, I had a complete gas heating system replaced for $ 1,500 for a 1,640 ft SFH in CA, plumbing issues and all).

Closing, he LIED about "needing $ 2,200", and I sent the money. I'm now upset and don't want to take this attitude any more.

What are my legal options?

Answer

Get a new property manager. If there is no contract, then you do not have any obligation to keep him on.

Question

We have a home in rural Nv, and have quit claimed it over to our Granddaughter, who is making the payments. We understand that we are still finacially responsible for this house, unless she should refinance. Shouldn't the payments come in her name, so she can claim taxes and insurance on the property?

Answer

Question

My sister is currently in a custody battle with her ex husband. Her children were taken from her and put in the care of their father. 3 of the 4 children still live with him. He is claiming that she is mentally unstable and should not be allowed to spend time with the children. She has not seen them since the beginning of May. The judge is agreeing with the father even though her therapist has given a letter to the judge stating that she is not a danger to herself or her children. Is there anything she can do?

Answer

Is sounds like she needs a competent lawyer, as she did not convince the judge herself

Question

We were served with court paper regarding regarding a property we r renting residential - theirs 5 units an all were served. Do we continue to pay the rent? Or what r our options.

Answer

Have no idea what "court papers" you are talking about. If there are 5 units and everyone was served, my GUESS is that there may be a foreclosure going on, or the owner wants to empty the building, or something like that. But without reviewing the papers, it's impossible to say for sure. Could be anything -- code violation notices.... etc. If EVERYONE was served the same thing, you all could see one attorney possibly -- but it not YOU SHOULD STILL SEE ONE!

I agree with the previous post. You did not provide enough information. I can be reached at 312-372-5600.

My son's roomate, took my son's checks, forged my son's signature and cashed checks in the amount of $5,588. This occurred over a 5 month period.

Question

My father deeded his home to me in a Life Estate transaction. He recently rented out the upper level of his home with has it's own entrance and is separated from the main house below in which he lives. Question: Does my father have the right to rent out the upper level in the home and sign a lease agreement with a new tenant, or am I required as the deeded owner to make agreements with any new tenants? He signed a lease with an individual and I am wondering if it is valid, since I do not to recognized the validity of the lease. I am not asking about eviction, I am simply asking about whether or not he had the right to initiate and agreement, and if not, is the lease itself technically void? Thank you.

Answer

Most likely your father deeded his house to you and reserved a life estate for himself. If so, the house is not yours until he dies and you have no say with what he does with it during his lifetime.

Question

I made a verbal agreement to a sports betting co. in Nevada paying 100 on my credit card on 1/11/14 with a balance of 199 in 2 weeks is been 2 days I have changed my mind.do I have the right ?

Answer

No but then I don't know what the laws are regarding this. And I do not know all the details.

I can tell you generally that there is no right to cancel an agreement. The three-day right of rescission only exists generally for sales of products in your home (like if the push Kirby vacuum cleaner sales man shows up) and for a few other things.

I can tell you also that a verbal contract is no different than a written contract; they are equally enforceable. However, most charges over $500 have to be evidenced by some kind of writing with your signature.

The other thing is that gambling is unlawful in most jurisdictions with some exceptions. It is highly unlikely that a Nevada bookie is going to sue you for $199. It would cost more than that to hire a PA lawyer and file suit. And the Nevada bookie is not going to sue you in Nevada - you don't work there or have any property there I assume.

So you can d try to rescind the transaction. If the Nevada bookie will not let you do that, then you can try contacting your credit card company and disputing this charge or maybe even closing this account totally so that the card will be invalid. What happens after that is anyone's guess. If the credit card company lets you close the card or reverses the charges, I don't know what the bookie will do. Chances are it will not be on your credit.

In the future, don't do this. If you don't have the money then you should not be gambling at all. I know lots of people who enjoy going to Vegas or the casinos and that is fine. But these people gamble responsibly - they save up their cash to use to gamble with and they have a certain dollar amount set aside so that when they lose up to that amount, they stop and go home.

Is therea trust account that i can put money into that will be safe an cant be touched by the irs or state or any kind of lawsuits

Question

Is therea trust account that i can put money into that will be safe an cant be touched by the irs or state or any kind of lawsuits

Answer

If you put money into an account - it will be reported to the IRS.

Answer

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code and the Federal Statutes would give what is called "The Right of Supremacy" to any Federal Court (including Bankruptcy) to determine the source of monies that you have obtained if they were "ill gotten" or if there were a failure to report and the statute of limits has not as yet run against the proper reporting of the same, be it from gambling, or other source.

Assuming that money, assets and other properties was received or earned under normal circumstances, then there are numerous planning opportunities that you could make both in the U.S. and outside its borders. Remember that most foreign countries have working relationships with the U.S. government and will provide access to the accounts to the Justice Department and the IRS upon proper procedure.

I practice in the area of DAPT's (Domestic Asset Protection Trusts) that when set up properly provide a great deal of protection and security against collateral type attack from sister states, and creditors; also some Bankruptcy protection planning may be available if appropriate precautions are taken and there is time available to work with.

I would suggest you at least browse the Asset Protection websites, or put in FAPT, and DAPT and see what comes up and if it is somewhat suitable to your situation. To my knowledge there are only a very limited number of off shore countries that do not have a working relationship with the U.S. authorities, the most public one is in the "Cook Islands", South Pacific, and there is a good deal of information and reports available on those.

Question

I live in Texas and I sold a Persian cat to a woman living in Pennsylvania. The cat was given a clean bill of health the day before he let my care from my vet that I sent with the cat to the new owner. Tr new owner is saying that the cat had to have nearly 1100.00 dollars in veterinary attention the day he arrived at her home. She contacted me and I told her to send their vets report to me so that I could see what was going on within 6 hours of leaving my care. She will not send the report but instead she is slandering me on the Internet and sending harassing emails to me saying she won't quit. I want to resolve this issue and could have done so had she sent the vets report. Instead she has served me with a civil suit for 12000.00. My question is can she sue me from PA when I live in Tx and expect me to fly to Texas over a 1000.00 cat? I am a senior citizen caring for an adult child with MS. I can't fly to Pa what do I do ?,she will not speak with me. I paid for a background check on her fearing for my safety and she has a laundry list of criminal offenses. I'm scared. Please help

Answer

This is way, way too complex of an issue to be addressed on a free forum. You need to talk to a lawyer. If suit has been filed against you and you have been served you probably need to file a response but the way you respond and what documents you send is very important to preserve your rights. You may also want to file a defamation, fraud, malicious prosecution or other counter-claims against the individual.

Answer

You need an attorney that practices in Pennsylvania and in Texas. That lawyer needs to review any written documentation of the sale.

Who is responsible for property taxes of a house while in probate? Is the estate responsible to pay taxes while house was in probate and still in the estate? Or am I responsible for past taxes after I inherited house after probate. The estate had the funds to pay the taxes but I was sent 1.5 years of property taxes while house was in probate

Answer

The estate should be paying the property taxes unless the heirs have agreed otherwise. Once the property has been transferred, the heir receiving the property is responsible for the property taxes.

Question

We were shown a house for sale by an agent 6months ago. Our offer was rejected and the house is no longer listed with that agent. Can we contact the owner of the house and make a FSBO offer?

Answer

Yes, but depending on the listing agreement that the seller had, the agent may still be entitled to a commission.

Answer

You can, but the agent/broker can claim he was the 'procuring cause' and entitled to the full commission on the sale, payable by the seller. He can do so even after the sale and escrow closes.

Question

I have a court case in 2 days, there are numerous financial terms of my divorce, as well quite a bit of backed child support. I had medical emergencies, and my son with my fiance was born 3 months early, and she was in the hospital in critical care. I am a carpenter and I always have a difficult winter. So my question is, I am backed up almost 10,000 on child support. I have a letter in to modify the amount of $375 a week for one child, and i am in the process of setting up a payment plan with DCF. Should I pay the uninsured medical expenses with the money i have now to her, or should i make a child support payment? I can't afford to do both in two days. Also, I am going for contempt of court in 2 days, so this is something I really need advice on.

Answer

It's usually better to make a payment on whatever the contempt is about because it shows you're making an effort to resolve that issue.

Question

Detinue was awarded for $14,551. Most of the items were recovered by the sheriff, but several items were not found. What should I do about the unrecovered items?

Answer

Assuming this $14,551 represents a valid/enforceable judgment

of the general district court, you should be able to garnish wages and/or levy against the bank account(s) for at least the fair market value of these remaining unrecovered items at the time of their loss

as long as they were part of this monetary award of the court.

It would be advisable, nevertheless, to check with the clerk's office

(civil division) to determine whether some additional action on your

part might be required under the court's local rules.

My husband car tire got slashed twice in our apartment complex parking lot. The next day my tire was loosing air, I had a nail, need it also to be replaced. My question my lease is up on July 31, 2007 can I leave before because of security reasons? By the way our neighbors cars got broken in to and other neighbor apartment got robbed.

Could you please advice me

Thanks a lot

Answer

Re: Can you break a lease agreement

An attorney will need to read your lease but you do have a right to be safe where you live. If you have a record of complaining to the landlord about the security problem, then you should be able to move out eventually. But consult an attorney first.

Question

If mortgaged home title is in a legal revocable living trust - does the beneficiary/exec trustee/occupant have any protections against acceleration - - when current homeowners insurance carrier is now requiring beneficiary's name to be 'added' to the title or the current policy in force thru December will not be re-newed? Carrier is State Farm in Texas.

Answer

You are mixing a bunch of different terms here. A homestead in a revocable living trust does have certain protections against acceleration. The failure to maintain insurance, though, is not one of those protections. Perhaps the insurance company is asking for the "beneficiary" of the deed of trust (which is the lender) and not beneficiary of the revocable living trust.

Question

What would happen if a parent with joint custody of children needed to leave town for an extended period? Specifically, the parent would be a few hours away attending a state police academy. The parent would be able to come home on weekends, but required to live at the academy (or training post after academy training) during the week. The training would take about 9 months. Would the parent have to forfeit custody? Would they be considered in violation of the custody order? Could a temporary custody order be arranged that would revert back to the original joint custody after 9 months?

Answer

There could be a temporary order for sole custody, particularly legal custody. This could be done with a stipulation between the parties. Or, you could arrange to have the court appointment a guardian to stand in your place while you are temporarily gone. This could be a grand parent or anyone else that you closely trust to make decisions on behalf of your child. The guardian would share legal custody with the other parent until you return.

Answer

Yes the parties could agree to a temporary order. I would need to see the current order to answer your other questions. There is a statute that allows for temporary placement (six months) that may apply in this situation that would not require the courts intervention. Feel free to contact me to discuss.

Question

I had a child over 3 years ago with a man that I never married. We have never put anything in writing with respect to custody or time sharing. I have been the main one caring and financially supporting my child, what rights does he have after all this time to prevent me from moving out of state if any?

Answer

You probably have a moral obligation to try to consult with the other parent, assuming they have been involved in the child's life in some way.

Assuming there is no court order of any kind concerning custody, support, and visitation of the child, you are probably legally entitled to move without his permission.

Consider what is best for the child, and best of luck!

Question

My 14 year old step son has come to live with us as he doesn't want to reside with his mother any longer. The conditions of her house are not ideal. (dirty, beds on floor and other children he is asked to watch constantly) We recently found out the mother checked herself into detox and then out about 5 days later. Her now soon to be ex says shes still on drugs (oxycodone) . If we ask a judge to grant us custody does she have to submit to drug testing and say she has been to detox? She has also driven all her children in a car with no license no tag, no insurance and no rear window. Is this child endangerment?

Answer

The parent of the son has to either call DCF (Not recommended) or file a petition for relative custody under chapter 751 Florida Statutes. Contact my office for free consultation 727-446-7659

Answer

Your husband would certainly have the ability to file a Supplemental Petition to Modify the Final Judgment, since there appears to have been a substantial change in circumstances. You could also ask the court to allow the child to testify as to a preference of where he should live.

Answer

The Judge will listen to the evidence to decide whether she should submit to drug testing. It is not automatic. A judge does not have to allow testimony of a child (and most judges prefer not to). Your spouse needs to be prepared to present evidence supporting these claims after filing a Petition for Modification of the current parenting plan.

Given the allegations and the fact that a guardian ad litem or a custody evaluation may be necessary (and/or the involvement of DCF) I strongly suggest that your spouse schedule a consultation with a local family law attorney.

Question

I reside in the state of Missouri. My wife and I are undergoing a divorce. I am filing for full custody, primarily for the safety of my daughter. My soon to be ex-wife is unfit as a mother and is trying anything and everything to keep me from my four year old daughter. Just recently, she made a claim that I am not the father and requested a DNA test. The judge didn't order me to take one. However, she talked to the guy she claimed is the father and convinced him that he needed to take the DNA test. Our trail got delayed due to this with the statement of "awaiting DNA results." After questioning my wife, he is convinced that he isn't the father and is unwilling to pay for the test. My question is two fold. One, will the judge now order me to take the test, since my soon to be ex is now willing to pay for it? Two, if I am determined not to be the biological father, will I lose my daughter?

Answer

You should discuss this with your attorney. If you do not have an attorney, you should hire one. What could possibly be more important than your daughter's future ?

Answer

Yes, the judge will have to know whether she is a child of the marriage. If she is not then you can file for guardianship if neither parent can take care of the child or file for custody. Ti win the custody case you have to prove the mother unfit. Presumably, the alleged father does not want to be a father and would consent to you getting custody of the child.

Question

Is it legal for a Section 8 landlord to say that you have too much stuff in your home and you must get rid of most of it? On that subject, what are the conditions in which you can be evicted from Section 8 housing? I've been a good tenant, always paying rent on time and never causing trouble, yet my Section 8 landlord wishes to evict me for nothing and simply because she can make more money of a different tenant due to the fact my rent is fixed and cannot change.

Answer

Section 8 is a rent program; all other obligations are usually typical lease requirements and many can be controlled by local ordinances. Most leases say that the tenant can't "overload" the floors and/or the electrical or other systems, so yes there are reasons why the landlord can ask you to limit the things you keep in the apartment, but this is relatively rare unless you have so much stuff that it is just becoming a mess, since most leases also require the tenant to keep their apartments in "clean" and/or "neat" condition. Your landlord should be telling you what the issue is, though. So if you can't get this information or have been given a landlord's notice to vacate because of these complaints you should talk to an attorney who can find out what the issue really is or protect you if an eviction lawsuit is the next step.

Your response filed with the court should include a proof of service signed by someone over the age of 18, who is not a party to the case, attesting that he or she served copies of the papers on the respondent. The service can be by mail.

Why do your car brakes squeak?
Usually because of wear, a disk brake system typically has a squealer that with contact with the rotor will make a squeaking sound telling you its time to change the brakes..some have no squealer and the sound is coming form the rivets on the pads making contact with the rotor..ie past time to change..If the brake pads have been changed or are in fine shape and there is a squeak it is because there is no anti squeal compound on the back side of the pads.

Question

Do I have a lawsuit??

This is pretty intense and confusing, so I'll try to sum it up the best I can..

I moved to MI at age 19, and adopted my two siblings (now my son and daughter of course).. The youngest was diagnosed with epilepsy at 2 years old, and as a result suffers from cognitive impairment. He grew up in mi, and that was his safe place, same routines and places for years,friends, family,etc..it was very familiar for him. Shortly after the adoption was finalized, we moved back to my hometown,San Diego. And right before that, we suffered the loss of my husband (which he only knew as his father). These two dramatic changes caused him to act out very badly. I went through months of extreme behaviors with him, like trying to run away, defecating purposely in his bedroom, property distruction, etc.I was trying to get help, and found a couple things, but didn't get far,as I didn't know of many resources available here. One day, he was out of control, so I called our local p.e.r.t. team as a last resort. Shortly after that, cps showed up. After a long conversation with the investigative worker, I signed for him to voluntarily be put into placement, with the understanding (so I thought),that it would be temporary, maybe for a few days. This was only in hopes of finaaly being connected to some local resources I felt we desperately needed.Things went bad very quickly. Everything was turned around, and is now beyond out of control. At the time of initial placement (and to this day), I was apparently deemed "fit", as I still have custody of my daughter, which also has two children (my grandchildren), that are all in my care. No abuse of any kind, physical, sexual, emotional, etc. No neglect..anything. I have complied with everything they've asked me to, yet little by little, my rights have been stripped. He is taken out of the country regularly, even though I disagreed due to it being so dangerous. Now, were at the point where I hardly get visits, and they are in the process of taking away my medical rights. There is no logical reasoning behind any of this. Only the fact that I don't always agree with everything. I have always had a close relationship with all of my sons doctors. I'm very worried about my sons well being, and it seems no matter who I turmn to, its a dead end (perhaps because they all work for the state). I'm wondering if I have a suit here, or any recommendations? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer

CWS/CPS cases are very complex and detal-driven. There's no way to tell if you have a case from just your fact summary of your side of things, given on the internet. You need to contact a local attorney who takes CWS/CPS cases. Some of them are listed here: http://fightcps.com/2007/08/10/lawyers-who-take-cps-defense-cases/

Unfortunately, in the course of finding that website, I have also found that your county is one of the worst, if not the worst in the state for abuse by childrens services. The silver lining to that is if your rights really have been abused and the agency's conduct wrongful, you have a legal community that knows the agency's bad history and will believe you.

My husband went to jail 3 months ago and now I cant pay our home loan. Can I file bankrupt if he is not here?

Question

My husband went to jail 3 months ago and now I cant pay our home loan. Can I file bankrupt if he is not here?

Answer

You can file bankruptcy without the participation of your husband. I would urge you, though, to pursue other avenues first before deciding to file bankruptcy. Your mortgage lender likely offers some "loss mitigation" options, which are very popular considering the present economic times. There are alternatives that you may want to consider first before deciding your course of action. I offer a free consultation, so feel free to call 205.939.0780 or email me at [email protected]/* */, and I'd be happy to arrange a meeting with you.

Question

I rearended someone on the road, there was no visable damage to either of our vehicles, I asked if I should call the cops but the other driver said no and she only took my first name and phone number, I offered her my insurence but she declined it.. And I forgot to take pictures, is there anyway she could call and sue me even though there was no damage and she declined my insurence?

Answer

She could, but she would have a hard time proving her case now. The best thing to do is always call the police. However, you can't go back now. Keep whatever evidence you have and store it away just in case she makes a claim later.

Question

We are a paving company in the state of florida. We have a sign on our wall that says there will be a 20 % restocking fee for cancellations after receipt of pavers. We had a customer cancel after pavers had been ordered, paid for and delivered by the manufacturer. The customer was charged the restocking fee after cancelling the day before installation was planned. He is threatening to take us to court because the restocking fee was not in the contract. Is our sign sufficient to legally charge the restocking fee?

Answer

Just because there is a sign on your wall is not going to be sufficient to hold him accountable to that term of the contract. Whether or not that customer is going to be liable is going to come down to the facts surrounding the transaction. Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]/* */ and we can go over the details to see if you need assistance of counsel.

Question

I was arrested for domestic violence in Colorado in 2006. I plead down to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge. I have heard that it must be ten years after the conviction in order for me to petition for a state pardon. I graduate college in a month and fear that my record will prevent me from gaining employment. I have no other charges on my record and since I was convicted the only violation of the law has been a speeding ticket. Is it possible for me to try to get a state pardon now?

Answer

Not sure why you posted this under California law. Since the charges were in Colorado you should consult a Colorado attorney

Answer

You've inadvertently selected California instead of Colorado in the pull down menu when you posted your question. You will need to repost for Colorado attorneys to answer.

Question

I am separated from my husband. During our time together he lost his job and had his vehicle re-possessed. He returned to his job after about 6 months. I retired while married to him and bought a cottage with my retirement. Since we have separated this has been my home for 16 months. My question is, can they take my camp to settle his debt? They are having a discovery hearing to find hiddne assests he may have and although we have signed initial divorce papers months ago, have not signed final papers.

Answer

No. The creditors of your husband cannot take any assets that you (a) jointly own with your husband or that you solely own provided that the debt for the car balance was just in the name of your husband.

You mention you bought a cottage. But you ask about a camp. Are these one and the same?

Your husband needs to resolve his debts or make arrangements. I don't see why you are involved in this at all. The creditor can do its own title search and see that the home is titled in your name alone. You do not indicate when you bought the home and when you separated. If after the date of separation, it is considered separate property although if you have settlement papers dividing up your property they should also refer to the cottage being part of your marital assets. It will be up to your husband to share any information about this but if the home is in your name solely and the car loan was solely in your husband's name then I don't see how the creditors of your husband can seize your assets. PA is not a community property state and you are not liable for your husband's debts just because you happen to be married to him.
