So I was driving and changed the song on my phone, a police officer from the opposite lane over saw me, turned on his lights, and started making a u-turn my way. I quickly went in a private grocery parking lot, I parked my car, and went in the store. I saw the police officer driving around the... Read more »
It sounds like you slipped away. But if he got your plate he could theoretically still issue a ticket.
My aunt died 02/01/2020. Her disabled son still lives in the condo and makes $900/month. He has been paying the mortgage for almost 2 years. She still owes around #35,000 on the condo.
You have two processes that need to take place. First, you need to contact a probate attorney to help you probate your aunt's estate. That will enable the transfer of the house (and any other assets of hers) to her heirs at law (if she has no will) or her devisees (if she has a will). Second,... Read more »
My property is slowly falling in the river. Some say its erosion but it happens everytime they dredge. Usually within days. I lost 20% of land including trees, shrubs and now my patio!
I'm sorry for your ordeal. These could be difficult cases because of the expert testimony involved. Contact environmental/land use attorneys in the area, and find out if nearby waterfront residents are experiencing similar phenomena. Good luck

Ohio is under the emergency orders from the governor to stay at home and to self-quarantine. It is unlikely that any local governments have passed specific virus-related ordinances -- but they could have. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney who can check for local ordinances.
Evictions can still be filed with the court, but eviction hearings and many other court activities are currently suspended in OH. When courts re-open, the hearings will resume, and you could be evicted then. An eviction is a permanent court record that can make it difficult for you to rent from a... Read more »
Before the divorce is finalized, the household situation has become hostile and we have children as well. I know legally the rented home is his as well as mine but I am the only person employed and covering all the bills, including the rent
You are correct that both of you have a right to be in the residence. In Ohio, there is no uniform rule regarding one spouse having exclusive occupancy.

There is no way to answer such questions without a careful review of the will, the deed to the house, and all the facts of the situation. The will must be filed with the probate court and an executor appointed to administer the estate. The executor can retain an attorney to assist with the... Read more »
I live in Ohio me and a friend share a house we asked the landlord a month and a half ago about the mouse problem and he said he would get around to it and never did he may have just forgotten but I want to make it a point to keep him on his toes because I feel like he blows us off this would be...

No, you do not have the right to withhold rent. If you do not pay rent in full, landlord can evict you. Instead, tenants must give landlord written notice of a problem, and a reasonable amount of time to fix it. If not fixed, then tenant must deposit the full rent on time into escrow with the...

I signed and submitted the renewal contract. A week later they undid the signed renewal and increased the rent amount. They said the amount in the contract was not correct. This seems illegal. If I wanted to void the contract a week after signing, there would be a penalty. How can they modify it if... Read more »
If you signed the renewal first, and landlord hadn't signed the renewal, then landlord could decide not to sign it, and instead, change the rent amount and send you a revised renewal to sign. But if you and landlord both signed the renewal, and then landlord came back and changed it, then landlord... Read more »
I moved in and signed a year lease in October of 2019. Two months ago he has people coming to look at the house and said he was planning on selling all of his rentals eventually, but not to worry everything was a process and would take time and I would have plenty of time to move out. Now he's... Read more »
Landlord cannot legally force you out if you have a valid written lease that you both signed. Your lease remains in effect if landlord sells, and it is binding on any new owner until the expiration date specified in the lease. The new owner must honor the lease, must follow its terms, and can't... Read more »
know if I’m in the will, or if there even is a written will.

lived here (7/18). I've been without a stove now for almost 2 weeks. Can I expect a reduction in rent?
No, you can't expect a reduction in rent. You can talk to landlord and give written notice. If not fixed in a reasonable time, then you can start paying your rent in full on time each month into escrow with your local court. Check your court web site for the rent escrow form and process. If you... Read more »

I believe you meant 341(a) hearing. Section 361 of the bankruptcy code deals with adequate protection payments. At the Meeting of Creditors (aka 341 the Meeting of Creditors) the chapter 7 trustee will ask questions regarding your petition and schedules you previously submitted. For example, the... Read more »
My ex husband and I have a court order where he gets visits with the kids every other weekend. He had not seen the kids since sept 14th 2019 of his own accord.

If you refuse, he could file with the court to have you held in contempt. You would then explain your reasons to the judge, and the judge would decide if what you did was in the best interest of the children. There is no way to predict how judges will deal with all the problems caused by the... Read more »
I have explained that I am uncomfortable with anyone coming into my home during the stay at home order. They are now going to show my home on thursday. Do I have a right to refuse entrance for a showing during this time?
OH law says that landlords can show the premises to prospective buyers by giving tenant reasonable notice, typically 24 hours. But there isn't much landlord can do if a tenant refuses -- other than filing an eviction. But OH courts are suspended, so they are not doing any evictions. It could... Read more »
This was before America had any knowledge of the virus. I came down with all of the symptoms and a horrible full body rash. The hospital also had no idea what was going on. Amazon let me go because I couldn’t work due to me being extremely sick. Can I sue for wrongful termination?
You may be able to pursue a claim against Amazon. Contact an employment law attorney as soon as possible to discuss your situation in more detail.

Yes. Safety equipment, including masks to prevent infectious disease, can be made mandatory by an employer. If you have a medical or religious objection, you may be able to receive a reasonable accommodation, but absent evidence of discrimination the employer can require this.

Ohio does not allow for minor emancipation. Indiana has no minimum age for emancipation, so she can file whenever she likes in Indiana. Whether she will get it is another thing.
Mother won't disclose payments to judge
If you have custody then yes, you can obtain a child support order for payments. This doesn't help you with your arrearages, though, as payments made directly to the obligee instead of through CSEA are considered gifts. You could ask for the arrearage to be waived based on the direct payments, but... Read more »
