    Arbitration Question

    These are standard. It just means that you go to arbitration instead of regular court if a claim arises. They do this because it is cheaper. The only thing to watch out for is a clause stating that they have the exclusive right to choose the venue and/or arbitrator.

    Filing Case, but concerned about car accident

    It seems that Goodyear came to take the tire to test whether it was faulty. They found out that the tire was not faulty, but was blown because of a foreign object. They said "oops nevermind" at this point because they felt comfortable that they had not breached any duty to the customer. That's...

    Divorce When Not a Citizen?

    I agree with most of this except: 1. Snowy NY does not have a no fault or an irreconcilable differences option, though the outcome is pretty much the same. 2. The residency requirement is 2 years, not 6 months. Edit: I did a little research and there is a way to bypass the two year...

    Buying a home. Judgment lien question.

    Harris, this poster's chapter 13 filing would have absolutely nothing to do with a lien on a piece of property that the poster did not even own yet. Nothing will be discharged, nor do the creditors have an obligation to discharge.

    What are My rights as a co-owner

    You can't force him to sell, but sometimes courts will force a sale. I would ask him to buy your rights to the house and sell them to him. Ask for half of the total amount of the home's equity. If he wants to be a pain, you are within your rights to occupy the house just as much as he is. Feel...

    Premises Liability broken ankle, do I have a case?

    Personally I think you do have a case. Hire a lawyer that will work on a contingency basis (most PI attorneys will do this) and they will only be payed if you are. You settle, the lawyer gets his 30%, everyone's happy. Give it a shot.

    ?

    There is some case law that suggests an investigator can try to question you (once) after you have gotten an attorney so long as you have been re-mirandized. Usually they are just hoping that you will talk anyway, either out of a case of conscience or whatever. As the above poster said, just...

    Death without will, recently divorced, real estate involved - need answers quickly!

    I don't know about the homeowner's insurance question, but your ex-stepmother has no rights to the property or any of his belongings.

    Home Loan Officer Negligence

    These things can always be argued, but my initial impression is that there is no negligence here, and that you are unfortunately going to be eating that 1500 bucks. I think the practice of bringing work home is probably pretty common among mortgage professionals. But what this whole thing hinges...

    college support after age 19

    In NY they will often extend to 21 under these circumstances. I don't know the situation in AL, but it is definitely worth calling an attorney and finding out.

    Auto Accident Issue

    This is why you have liability insurance. If you are sued, contact the insurance company. They will provide you with an attorney at their expense and will handle the case. If you are sued and held liable for damages, then your liability insurance should cover it. This makes the insurance company...

    selling property and ex owns 20%

    The only way to do that legally would be to have him sign over his share. In other words, buy it from him. Your other option is to go to court and petition for an order that would allow you to sell the house, and then send him 20% of the value. Better yet, DON'T give him the 20%. What is he...

    a lien is, by definition, attached to property. Liens remain attached to the property regardless of who buys or sells it.

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Contact between adult and minor? - What charges

    Yeah, then you will have to respect that order and keep your distance. My guess about the felony thing is that either the cop thought she was 15 or that she actually IS 15. If neither of those things are true then she was probably trying to spook you. Criminal trespass in Ohio is a Mis 4th.

    Drug Crimes, Substance Abuse need advice on being a confidential informant

    They have a form for this stating that the charges will be dropped if you comply. They may actually have to do this through the DA. If you sign this form then you would receive immunity from any actions related to this event. You could get that form, MAKE SURE IT IS SIGNED OFF BY THE DA, and...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Extortion?

    Having a known felon in your car is probable cause to search the car. This is done to protect the police from weapons that could be hidden in the care. I also don't see any extortion here. For more information you can read Arizona v. Gant--it goes through a lot of this stuff.

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Contact between adult and minor? - What charges

    It's possible that a restraining order was put in place with the criminal trespassing charge. The age of consent in Ohio is 16 though, so I don't know where this felony stuff is coming from. Violating the order is not a felony either, so I think he was huffing and puffing. Either way, if an...
