The answer entirely depends on the specific words and provisions on the contract. It is impossible for anyone to tell you yes or no without reviewing the exact words in the contract. You may need to pay an attorney to review the contract and give you advice on this. Consult an attorney!
A controlled by took place where in the video record of the controlled by there is footage of a minor smoking. I thought that without a minors permission given it is against the law and against their rights?
There are laws against video voyeurism (Fla. Stat. 810.145) and recording audio without a person's consent (934.03), but both laws have exceptions for law enforcement. This should be discussed with the criminal defense attorney handling the case. Also, legal steps can be taken to protect the... Read more »

No. You have to remove people from your property using the law. Throwing away people's belongings, cutting off water, etc., is called "self-help" and is specifically prohibited. Hire an attorney to get rid of the squatters, and their junk, legally.
I have a judgment against me personally from 10 years ago (yes he renewed it). Since then I bought a property in an llc name. I'm now I'm refinancing and this judgment came up. The underwriter said it must be paid first. I don't understand.
When a judgment is recorded, the judgment attaches to the ownership interest in real property of the judgment debtor. You'll have to ask the underwriter these questions.

You may have other right to get your money back depending on the circumstances and the promises made. There is no way to... Read more »

Evidence regarding his disease probably can be presented at the hearing, assuming it is an evidentiary hearing.
