You need to speak with an attorney who handles domestic relations. The problem is does liquidating the asset--turning your house into cash--change who can get what? It's a pre marital asset, and if you made all the payments and it's in your name, I'm not sure if you want to liquidate... View More 
He is on disability, which is why his child support is only $50/month. at that rate we will all be dead before he makes even a dent in the $25,000. He has just inherited a sizable amount of money, so can I sue him for the back support? He and his wife/girlfriend have done everything that they can... View More

Look to modify the previous agreement to reflect his new asset. As to a lien, I would imagine the state Child Support Enforcement Division would be able to tell you that.

The Attorney I hired for the personal injury, referred me to a workers comp attorney as well.

MMI is a bogus concept invented by insurance companies. Be guided by what the injury attorney has to say. It sounds like you have signficant issues, and fusions are never mmi as the person can develop pain and other issues as the fusion puts more strain on the discs above and below the point of...

The likely charges would depend on what they did, and those are up to the police & the DA. Possible charges would be disorderly conduct, threatening, others.

Several times I have found her at the top of the steps outside my door listening to conversations when I have company. She has also brought up many things that she should not know about but has learned from eavesdropping. I live in PA. What can I do?
answered on Jul 16, 2021
Not much other than to say she has to understand that for you to feel comfortable staying there she has to not be listening in. At the same time, don't have conversations of any private nature in the room where the door to the hallway is, or drape an elegant curtain over that door with an... View More
I am an hourly employee in the state of Pennsylvania. I was told I was suspended on a Wednesday or Thursday, and that I needed to work my Saturday shift, then my suspension starts Sunday.

If it's your normal shift they are "unsuspending" you so yes, you would have to work that shift.

Small things like the color of the car won't get you off the hook. Only 5 over, is something you can fight though if the Judge gets the idea you were actually going 16 over they may sock it to you.

U would suggest you contact an attorney who handles criminal defense as it's a case where 1) yes you can make the call but 2) explaining why could implicate you.
However, the big problem I see is that unless you know who it was who took your things, for sure not guessing, the Police... View More

It's possible that going into the MRI's you had a predisposing condition. following the additional playing, that might have been the tear, but the question is what was shown when. You may have a case, you may have a case against the school--a lawyer would... View More
I have reached out multiple times to the leasing office, but they have not helped. It's becoming unlivable for me - giving me a constant headache - and the smell is seeping into my furniture and clothes. What can I do?
answered on Jul 16, 2021
You need to read your lease. If you rented a smoke free premisis, you have a material change in conditions. If it wasn't smoke free, then the fact it becomes something undesirable but permitted by law is a question that will depend on the working of the lease.

An experts opinion that this was the reason and the only reason would be needed. You would likely want to speak with a doctor anyway. Don't say you are interested in a claim or the doctor will clam up--they are worried about being "dragged into a legal case."
