It is incorrect to say that "there is absolutely no proof"; another student's word IS proof (or evidence). As you indicate, "It is their word against hers". So, it depends on who they believe. If the school's rules and regulations allow suspension or expulsion for... Read more »

Can you record the noise as heard in your apartment? Of course.
Since my money pays the attorney why is that not a conflict of interest if I sue the HOA.
answered on Feb 2, 2023
Did you tell the attorney something in confidence, believing the attorney was representing you? Or did the attorney give you legal advice? Only in one of those cases would it be a conflict of interest.

Florida doesn't have income tax. So, the question remaining is whether you still have to pay income tax to North Carolina. Probably not, but to be sure you should ask this question in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > North Carolina > Tax Law.
He wants to take his name off of the deed so I can be 100% titled to house.(He is moving) Can this be accomplished with a quit claim deed? What would be the correct steps to take? Thank you in advance.

Yes, that would work. Record the executed deed with the county clerk's office.

I believe the term you're looking for is "nulo contendre". It is "law Latin", meaning "no contest"; essentially the same as a plea of guilty. But if the charges were dropped, it doesn't make sense that you would have entered such a plea.
Is the granting of a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) considered “Affirmative Relief” — even without yet a Final Hearing?
Or is a TRO a different type / category of relief?
(The Final Hearing has been continued / delayed to allow Discovery.)

Why do you ask: "considered affirmative relief" for what purpose?
I'm in the process of buying a land plot. And the Seller is requesting that I sign a Warranty Deed to him in the event of a default. But the Warranty Deed doesn't include any language about it only being valid in the event of a default. Should the Real Estate Agreement, which specifies... Read more »
answered on Jan 27, 2023
No, don't sign the warranty deed. And the agreement probably is not adequate either. A mortgage note secured by a mortgage is the proper way of doing this. You need to consult with an attorney.
There was a problem in our park on New Years where my husband was trying to break up a fight with some residents, those residents turned against us and made reports to management that just was not true. Now they are serving us with a non-renewal. We own our home but rent the lot. We feel... Read more »
answered on Jan 26, 2023
Having been accused of violence in the course of breaking up a fight doesn't sound like discrimination on the basis of being in a suspect category (race, etc.). So, unless the mobile home park's agreement proves otherwise, they can get rid of you.
There was an auto accident in our HOA. A resident (not me) hit a person on a bicycle. Our security company, under contract, is supposed to ask for ID for any person coming in the community day or night and any guest must be authorized by a resident to come in. We also have a sign that says no... Read more »

a. You should ask the local police if they can and will prosecute the cyclist.
b. The resident driver's liability insurance company might be able to sue the HOA and the security company if the carrier is obligated to pay damages to the cyclist.
c. The cyclist is probably... Read more »

Or, if you are the grantee, simply notify the post office of a change in address. You should probably also notify the tax collector.
State trooper cited me for unlawful towing & the driver that hit me was cited for carless operation. No injuries for anyone involved. Court date is March 22 in St. Charles Parish. Accident occurred on I-10 east bound in Louisiana.

Why are you asking this in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Florida? It seems to be clearly a matter of Louisiana law.

It is doubtful that your employer would be able to recover, should it sue you. You might want to ask if they have anything in writing.
1. Via violations of my civil rights by not following state statue 720.350 by golf club masters board and attorney advising them to do so.
answered on Jan 24, 2023
Probably four years. See Florida Statute 95.11(3)(f). But you have cited the wrong statute; there is no Florida Statute 720.350. You really need to consult with an attorney for this.
How do I proceed now? Do I need to file a new request with the new address to the Sheriff? Can they serve someone in Tampa?

Florida doesn't have income taxes. The U.S. government does. I suggest you go to irs.gov, download a form 1040, and the instructions for that form. After reviewing those documents, you should have a better idea of how income tax works.

All of these issues should be addressed in the divorce case. The small claims case should be dismissed.
