My landlord basically said If I hire someone to work on my house then he will not pay for the labor but he didn't say if I worked on the house that I couldn't charge him for labor
No. You would need a contract. Otherwise it would be deemed a gift. Contracts involving real estate need to be in writing. This would be a contract for services so I not too sure. Always better to have something in writing. Good Luck.

Yes, you can shorten your DBA name or use an entirely different name. I often work with clients to help them with this process.
What if I need to move before 60 days? Is that not allowed? I just found out I have to move and it needs to be done before that amount of time. I did not see any statement on papers Indicating when I have to let the other parent know.
If there is not a geographical restriction in your court order, preventing you from changing the primary residence of the child without further orders from the court or without the other parent's consent, then typically court orders require the primary parent to notify the other parent of a...

I have primary custody and my papers say I am allowed to determine primary residence without reguard to geographical location. Im not sure how I am supposed to go about it or if he is able to stop me in any way.

Per CCR's the payment shall be due after 30 days before the late payment is due. They are applying it after 15 days. They refuse to abide by our Articles and CCR's.
If you have brought it to the attention of the Board and nothing has been done, then I would contact a lawyer in your area to review your matter and perhaps write a letter to the Board/management company asking for a reversal of the late charges. Since there's probably more than 1 affected... Read more »

You should file for citizenship by naturalization, since you seem to have been a lawful permanent resident/conditional... Read more »

A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. From the standpoint of insurance, your employer should have a commercial policy in effect for the vehicle. That should cover third-party liability claims. I hope you were not injured, but if you did require any kind... Read more »
Will it be enough to bring proof of the prescriptions to court to have this dismissed? Will a court appointed attorney be able to handle?
Of course his court-appointed attorney can handle this. And it's considerably more complicated than your son just bringing proof of the Rxs to court. Have him turn over those prescriptions to his attorney. I hope you get on top of this very quickly because it's possible that the lawyer... Read more »

Statutory Durable Powers of Attorney are tricky in that different financial institutions have different requirements.

Generally, a person has to pead guilty or "no contest" (which is the same thing as pleading guilty) in order for them to be placed on probation. And if you pleaded either of those, I'd say you are really out of luck. Then I would ask why you would do such a thing knowing you were not... Read more »

It's extremely important for you to file an answer in a case like this, so they do not get a default judgment against you. For this amount of money, it's probably not cost-effective to hire an attorney, but if it was for a larger amount, definitely seek counsel.
