This would involve a married couple
Nope - unless a divorce court judge sees it differently.
A man hit me and fled the scene . We can't find his insurance. I need compensation for my car.
A Virginia attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for three weeks. You could use the Find-a-Lawyer tab above to reach out to attorneys in the Virginia Beach area, or you could run your own independent searches online. You probably did this already, but you could double-check your... Read more »
My ex filed for child support in the state of California but moved to a different state. I’m suppose to have a court hearing but I no longer reside in California either. I’m unsure of what I should do.
Move to dismiss the CA matter for lack of jurisdiction under UIFSA.
The other party, as the petitioning party, has to refile where you live as the responding party.
Grandmother has physical custody of two children, parents share joint custody. Mother is in jail, and father wants to know his rights about getting custody of his children.
Custody cases in Virginia are routinely handled by family law lawyers and divorce lawyers.
Generally, no. The appeal decision could be delayed by many reasons, some not having anything to do with the case.
I gave the person a 30 day notice to vacate and now that person has stated that they're not leaving. What are my options for having them removed? It's a simple lease with the basic message that terms are based on a month to month sign agreement. Also, in the 30 day notice I mentioned... Read more »
You'd have to evict the person if they do not vacate at the end of the 30 day period. The police will not likely do anything in a landlord-tenant dispute. If you decide to hire a lawyer to help, I'm sure anyone who responds would be happy to help with the eviction. Good luck.
My sister and her husband are going through a bad divorce. He left two weeks before the birth of their last kid. She has the house. He filed taxes jointly, and the federal return came to the house. She held it and they came to an agreement on how to spend it. It was only in a text so nothing... Read more »
I would recommend taking the copies of checks you have along with these facts to your local magistrate or police department to discuss the options of pressing charges.
Child custody, visitation and support matters can always be amended, provided that there is a material change in circumstance since the entry of the last order. Material change in circumstance can be a gray area in the law and I recommend that you seek legal advice from an experienced family law... Read more »
The emergency heat temp hasn’t exceeded 58 degrees during one of the coldest months and has left me no choice but to have to seek a new living arrangement
You have a reasonable argument that you have been constructively evicted -- essentially forced to leave the property due to the conditions. I say reasonable b/c 58 degrees is some heat, but obviously not an ideal amount. If you can document the lack of heat and corresponding temperatures, in case... Read more »

Getting domestic assault charges dropped such that you can expunge the arrest is difficult. Usually, you would go through the first offender program (attend and complete an anger management program) and the charge is dismissed after a year or 2 years if no further problems. BUT in this situation,... Read more »

You can file an Unlawful Detainer in Court and ask the Judge for an award of the rent arrearage and for possession. You may have to wait, however, to evict them, if they do not voluntarily move out, as a result of the CDC moratorium on evictions.

My grandmother had 7 siblings and only 4 are left which are all on board with a quit to claim deed in... Read more »
The lawyer you talked to is correct. The interests of children of your great-grandmother goes to THEIR children on their death. I suggest you get deeds for whatever shares you can, then approach the others for their shares. This can be very complicated and time consuming. And you absolutely need... Read more »
Took over the property of which I just received a notice that they are raising my rent 300.00 starting March 1st. Can they do this legally?
It depends on the exact terms in the lease. Most leases that 'auto-renew' (1) state that the renewal will be for a specific period (such as a year, but some are 'auto-renewing' only month-to-month) and (2) have a 'notice' requirement that if either the landlord or... Read more »
My employer said he is only paying commission for jobs that were delivered or installed before I left.
This is typically dictated by state law. I would reach out to an employment attorney in your state for a consultation.

Whether you are still capable of working is a question for your medical providers. It sounds like your medical provider released you to return to work with restrictions. If your job duties require you to lift more than 40 pounds or elevate your blood pressure, then you should inform your employer... Read more »

You can bring a lawsuit called a Warrant in Debt for money owed by the tenant for unpaid rent after the tenant moved out. As for the belongings, the tenant seems to have abandoned those belongings, but you should make a list of those belongings and then you can dispose of them.
The ticket was issued in Norfolk, VA and when I log into the website to pay the ticket I do not see the ticket. Am I off scotch free or what? If I am not off scotch free then why is it not in the system and how do I pay it?
No.
