This is in Florida city Florida and homestead. My truck was found at a hit and run and leaving scene of accident only resulting in property damage and they found drugs cab I bee charged with the drugs and or the crash
Your inquiry is a bit vague. If this was a hit-and-run, with a driver fleeing the accident scene, what does "found at a hit and run" mean? If you mean the truck was found somewhere else, and police determined that it was the vehicle that hit and ran, AND the police have not yet... Read more »
I filed a small claims case against my landlord. Missed pretrial due to being hospitalized. Filed a motion to vacate judgment which was approved in the case was reopened. A judge or new date for pretrial had not been set and it's been a month. Is there something I'm supposed to be doing... Read more »
Contact the judge's judicial assistant and find out when the pretrial hearing will be held. Make sure the defendant has been notified.
I've asked my property manager at my business location to please enforce the lease. My neighbor runs a machine that vibrates the building around my office. I've been unable to use my office for 6+ months. The lease has a specific clause that machines that vibrate the building or cause... Read more »
A landlord can refuse to renew a contract for any reason as long as it is not discriminatory (based on race, sex, color, etc.). FS 83.64 is residential leases. Chapter 83, Part 1 governs non-residential leases. I would think the landlord would have agreed with you the machinery needed to be on... Read more »
They can't afford him, have no room, and live with her mother. Mothers had CPS involved a few times with her kids. The house always smells like cat urine. They are in Va and we filed in Sumter county almost 7 years ago. I'm scared to lose him after he's blossomed so much with school,... Read more »
You need to read carefully whatever document gave you "custody." If it is a court order then the court that issued the order would review any changes. If it is simply a document from the parents to you then the parents can probably "revoke" it at any time. If the the child has... Read more »
There is no restriction about a beneficiary being married to the person who is their representative payee. In fact, Social Security prefers to appoint a responsible relative, friend, or other interested party to serve as a representative payee, then they consider others, such as an organization to...

My mother and I (her son) live together in a house. We are both listed on the deed and mortgage. This is the only real asset that she has. We are reviewing our estate planning documents.
Do I need to bother setting up a joint trust? Without one, since we're both on the deed, I believe... Read more »
No, if title is in both of your names, and not joint title with right of survivorship (or something similar), should she predecease you, the property will not be solely in your name. Her estate would own half. Talk to an estate planning attorney.
(Is this possible)Can I legally get a document notarized saying “I will not pay child support.” And if she signs she agrees, will it protect me from child support. If she signs but still pushes for child support etc will she face legal actions?
No, a waiver of child support by the custodial parent will probably not hold up, should she later seek it.
My brother and I have in Miami, a common property where I have always lived. In 2013 my brother transferred the property to me. In 2020, my brother learned that the value of the property had increased significantly and that I had lost the quit claim deed without having registered it. So, he sued... Read more »
Your deed is valid as between your brother and you. However, it is void as to other third parties because it was not recorded, and they do not have notice of it. However, you may still be able to record it to put them on notice prior to closing. Obviously, you should consult an attorney to deal... Read more »
No, unless you have used some other substance much more recently.
There are no eligibility limits for debt to file a Ch. 7 case; there are income ceilings, however. (Unlike a Ch. 13, for which there are debt limits for both secured and unsecured debt totals).

So I’m 16 years old and my parents are divorced with dual custody over me. I stay with my mom one week and same thing goes with my dad. I got hired at a place in my mom’s town, and since my dad lives 45 minutes away from there, I can imagine it’d cause some difficulties for him since I... Read more »
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been put in this position by the unfortunate circumstances of divorce. To answer your question, if you ask your dad permission to stay with your mom, he does have control over you as to where you will be staying during his court ordered time. If he says no, the...

Thank you very much.
Where's her lawyer?

Retain an attorney to file a motion to dissolve the injunction. Your attorney should guide you on whether it is feasible- it often is. Notice should be given to the Petitioner if possible, and the matter should be set for a hearing.
We are both military she is Air Force. I am army national guard on a deployment. She is not going to allow me in the kids life and is going to send me court docs requesting protection. No domestic violence has occurred.
In Florida, if you want to assert your rights you would need to file a petition for paternity. In Florida if you take no action the mother will have full legal custody and control of the child. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
Her debt?
No, one does not inherit the debt of another person such as a spouse. Her estate would be responsible for her debt, which would have to be paid before her assets were paid to her heirs. If the mortgage note is not paid, the mortgagee (bank, usually) could foreclose on the home she owns, but could... Read more »
Mother lives in Fla, father lives in Ga
In general, jurisdiction of the court lies where either parent or the child lives. If you are in agreement then you can enter into a parenting plan without court intervention or involvement. I am assuming that the parents are not married so legally this would be a paternity matter. The issue that... Read more »
They say he is will be responsible if the house defaults. Quicken loans states he is not and I don’t need to refinance. His attorney is forcing me to refinance or sell. I can’t refinance right now. I don’t want to sell my home. I don’t think quicken loans will do a mortgage modification... Read more »
They are right: unless he signed the note, he is not liable. It's doubtful that your ex can require you to refinance or sell, assuming the two of you aren't married and getting divorced.

If he is not on the note he is not liable for the debt but he would be named in a foreclosure action in order to clear the title. It appears he may be on the deed from your statement. If he is then you need to hire a lawyer of your own to see what your options are regarding this matter.

1. It is not humanly possible for me or any other Florida lawyer to tell you why your counsel of record does not respond during his pending motion to withdraw.
