If no compromise can be made and both want the house who gets it and what kind of lawyer do I have to go through?
You are both owners of the property, however, it sounds like you are no longer in the relationship. If neither party can agree to who gets the house then you will have to file a partition motion and ask that the property be sold. I would talk to a local attorney who specializes in real property or... Read more »
from a leak that happened last year August? My lease is set to renew July 1st. I’ve asked them to repair the damage in my kitchen and they’re ignoring my requests. Instead she wants me gone in 30 days and I’ve been a long time renter for 8 years!!

Some Clerks across the state require that lawyers petition to get fees paid, others view it as an issue between the executor and the lawyer. This sounds like an example of the first issue, and you have to comply with the Clerk's wishes.

He is still in school. He is a senior now. My landlord told me when he turns 18 they need to run his credit etc to see if he qualifies to put him on the lease but he is already on the lease
I advise my landlord clients to put any person residing in the home over the age of 18 on the lease. I think this is what your landlord should do to protect themselves.

The amount overpaid was under $2,000. There is no contract stating the overpayment would be paid back.
First, it should be determined if the employee was actually overpaid. If there was an overpayment, the employer may ask them to return the money. If the employee refuses to return the money, the employer may take them to court to recover it.
