Adding to Mr. Geers, sanctions yes. And if you send a subpoena without authority, no one is required to answer it, so you could face a lapse in the discovery window.
The debt could be old, so be careful so you don't revive it.

I think the only way to know for certain is to have the restraining order reviewed. Remember you always have the ability to contact the police if he is contacting you and has a history with you bad enough that required a PPO. Reminding the police there is a PPO in place might also help them tailor... Read more »

Keeping things in writing is oftentimes a good practice, and taking notes of your calls (diligently and consistently) might also be helpful. From a practical approach you might need to put together a more thorough contract that addresses these issues, this is a common theme for weddings. And if... Read more »
Body of deceased was under county jurisdiction. Autopsy was to be performed to determine cause of death, but kidneys and liver were taken prior to autopsy. No samples of either organ were provided to Chief Medical Examiner. COD still undetermined. Autopsy was performed missing two vital organs. Is... Read more »
It might depend on the circumstances involving the death that required a particularly level of autopsy, and whether or not the CME authorized release.
I reported harassment by a colleague last fall. Colleague received a scolding. We continue working in same building with little to no contact. Now my supervisor is requiring a sit down meeting with said colleague.
I would think about this pragmatically. If you refuse, will you lose your job? Maybe. Would that be lawful? Maybe not. It might depend on the type of harassment and degree. It might depend on your employer's role in the matter.
You'll need to call a few attorneys and discuss the... Read more »
Had a joint mortgage with my exwife, she bought me out but never refinanced so my name is still on the mortgage. Is it still just as much my house as it is her house after 2 years? Can I legally go into the house because its still my house? Or because I havent lived there in 2 years its no longer... Read more »
The mortgage (in colloquy) merely says who pays, and doesn't provide any ownership interest.
Whether or not you can legally go into the house is the wrong question (no, you probably cannot). The correct question is, "should I go into the house?" and the answer is "You... Read more »

Possible, but most importantly, you're describing a situation that you should probably hire an attorney to assist you with. There might be certain rules regarding formal notice as well as statute of limitations to be cognizant of.
Our Son and Uncle own a home we are selling. Our Son moved away last year and we have done all the improviden improvements and upkeep. We agreed on$5000 but later told him $6000 in a text. He has since said he wants half which isn't reasonable. Can he be held to what we agreed on. He... Read more »
It is a little difficult to follow exactly what is going on. But, to answer the top question: I would suspect that in the very least it could be introduced as evidence of an agreement. And that might be just as good.
Are there laws preventing the agent from doing this?
There is likely an option to block that caller from your phone.
If the president of the Confederate Treasure left the gold intentionally would that not legally invoke the finders keepers laws? Who initially owned the confederate gold?
Setting aside statutes from 150 years ago (that are still enforceable today) for a moment. You could also think about it in practical terms, there is no "finders keepers" law. The concept, rather, if the true owner of the property either "lost or mislaid" the property, legal... Read more »
Adding to the other two layers above, it really depends on the bank. If another person owns a property, and only one tries to refinance and mortgage, it's not really conceivable that a bank would allow the mortgage without the other owners signature. But, they could, the bank would just be... Read more »

I am currently on J-1 visa, I wanted to ask if there is any limitation if I can use cryptocurrency lending websites to earn passive income? It would be treated as interest income.
You should ask an immigration attorney by calling them directly. You're asking a question, about earning income on a J-1, and something isn't quite adding up. An immigration attorney can straighten the question out for you.

Sounds like you've hit a wall in negotiations alone, you might need to hire an attorney.
I called the police as soon as it happened. Animal control came over we made a statement. It’s all in writing.He swatted at my dog from his side of the fence and then my dog bit him
Sounds to me like you'll want to notify your homeowners insurance and hire an attorney ASAP. Your homeowner's policy and, generally, a lawsuit has very strict timing requirements of response following service of process (receiving notice of the lawsuit).
She refused to give keys threatening police if we change locks and doesn't care about giving notice when she will come to get the rest of her stuff.

Unfortunately, the solution to your problem will likely require you to go through the eviction process to have her things removed. It isn't convenient but, by following the process (notice to quit, summons, properly served, hearing, judgment) you're taking reasonable steps to avoid your... Read more »
I was asked by a former employer to create a website store for his small business. I worked on it, hours everyday for months and spent 500$ to perfect it, which I was told would be covered.

It is probably not a "court-worthy" case, or-that-is, it might require a lawsuit, but viewing the facts most favorably to you, I doubt there will be much of a fight over it.
As Mr. Geers has said above, without more information, this could be a wage and commissions matter, or just... Read more »
As Mr. Geers says, oftentimes the method of contact, through another person, is still contact.
There's really not enough information, so maybe. But the Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) might be what you're asking about.
