(Con’t)...are my options in fighting this as I dont want it to go to collections
Your options include
1. Paying your landlord or not opposing deduction of the money from your security deposit
2. Paying an attorney to negotiate with the landlord but this might cost more than the charge you are fighting
3. Filing suit to seek the refund of your security... Read more »
A power of attorney is good until revoked. However, may financial institutions have policies that place time limits on them. For the agent designated in the power of attorney to be able to amend estate planning documents of the principal, the power of attorney needs to VERY SPECIFICALLY grant... Read more »
It depends on who he made the statement to and under what circumstances. A false statement between friends in not enforceable. However, a false official statement made to obtain a benefit is different.
Landlord has known about this and didn't notify no one or do nothing but evict when ask about it
You could repost your question under the Landlord-Tenant section. There's no guarantee that all questions are answered, but your question remains open for a month and would have better chances of being seen by an attorney who could offer input there. Good luck

Contact a member of the Mo. Assn for Justice/Mo. Trial Lawyers assn that handles medical negligence cases. The problem is that a person that is bringing a case has to show that but for the mistake the person who died would have lived. That is sometimes very difficult, especially if the person has...

This is going to vary by city or county. As far as I know, there is no limit on the number of dogs you can own under state law. This is usually covered by local laws. However, you run the risk of being considered a breeding facility if you own enough dogs that are intact and having litters. That... Read more »
p.s. there is no court doc. saying who has full custody
The most simplistic answer is that without a court order your father may not have legal rights to make decisions for you. This could cause problems at doctors' offices, schools, etc. The good news is that, yes, you do get a say in where you want to live. How much your voice is heard on the matter... Read more »
Once you "fix" a work, meaning making it perceivable by others, the rights of copyright immediately attach. So that part is covered. But in order to ease enforcement of those rights, it is wise to register the copyright with the Copyright Office. The Copyright Office's website... Read more »
My boyfriend has some inheritance coming in and can’t touch it unless he’s married... he has asked me to pretend to be his fiancée in order to get his inheritance and to contact his lawyer and I emailed his lawyer but I never met his lawyer in person... his lawyer emailed me back and wanting...

Two things.
1. I suggest you ask the lawyer why he is requesting this information. Perhaps he needs it for the work to be done. Perhaps he wants that information so that if you and your bf hire him and then don't pay having this information will make it easier to collect a judgment... Read more »
The school requested the usual docs. Such as to be a policy holder on my Ins., Minimum $1m policy etc. but they also asked for copies of my workers drug & background checks. My workers are independent sub-contractors. I’ve never needed to drug test them & I do my own background checks on them... Read more »
Your contract controls as to the requisite background checks. If you don’t understand the contractual requirements, and it sounds like you don’t, you should have an attorney review the document.
I didn't agree to getting paid under the table also they only paid me $100 for 50hours
Being paid or paying a contractor in cash is not illegal.
Failure to report income is illegal.
Failure to classify a worker properly is illegal (not in the criminal sense per se but it is a violation of the tax code).
If you were misclassified as a contractor when you... Read more »
We have share joint custody for 15 years following our divorce, but my son is upset over unhealthy relationships and conditions in the home. He recently opened up to me and expressed a lot of frustration. He actually had a break down from not being able to handle the situation any longer. He... Read more »
I understand this can be a difficult situation to navigate. Sometimes divorced parents can feel stuck between following a court order and supporting their child's wishes. This might be an excellent opportunity to use those co-parenting skills and have a conversation with your x-spouse. This isn't... Read more »
The house had a broken window From the start no one fixed. Gave another notice still nothing. Now that I'm terminating lease early shouldnt that be deducted from what I will owe considering the broken window not only put my safety at risk from people that could have broken in easier but also I'm... Read more »
Unless you and your landlord are in agreement as to an early termination, then you've got bigger problems than the handling of the $200.
These might be useful for you.

You should probably have both. Just signing over the title does not guarantee that the buyer will register the transfer with the motor vehicle department. If he then gets into an accident it could get messy. The bill of sale will show the date of transfer and can also be used to remove the vehicle... Read more »
What's your legal question? If you are being sued, you should defend the case. If enough money is at issue, hire an attorney.

Has the sale of the house already been completed? Because if it is still pending the buyers may be having the house inspected by a professional inspector as part of the purchase transaction. If that is the case, ask to talk with the professional inspector to make arrangements to maintain safety... Read more »
They asked for the decree 3 days before scheduled closing
If the title company requires it and you don’t have it, then you probably cannot close. An attorney in Missouri could likely log on to Casenet and download the document and email it to you, assuming the case didn’t predate the conversion to electronic docketing of cases.
I signed a lease online for the time of August 2020 to move in. This particular landlord had told me my lease was not approved and signed by them and that I needed to sign another paper and give my proof of income. I called a couple weeks later due to the hardship of this COVID19 and told them we... Read more »
If the Landlord told you that it was not yet approved that there was something else you had to do in order to get it approved, then your "offer" to lease was not "accepted" yet. You can withdraw your offer at any time prior to "acceptance".
The burden of proof will be on them to prove... Read more »
