Generally, the Texas courts would retain exclusive jurisdiction over any modification, unless it is determined that the Florida court would be a more convenient forum. See the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which is the law in both jurisdictions:... Read more »
The fact that Florida and other southern states have "right to work" laws (organized labor laws prohibiting "union shops") has nothing to do with non-competition agreements. Similarly, the fact that employment in most or all states is "at will" (employers can, with... Read more »
I am still legally married to my husband but we have been separated for a year and both have new lives. I am currently pregnant with my boyfriends child but because my soon to be ex husband is so spiteful he is trying to claim paternity of the unborn child through “marriage” and force me to...

The law presumes that a baby born to a wife is the child of the husband. So yes, he can make that claim. Request a DNA test.
It's simply worded as stated. Thank you.
Usually, yes.

The warrant should specify the place to be searched. If that place is your address, they can search there.
Is demanding the car back, claiming that since the cars title is on her name still she rightfully owns it.
Hopefully you have a written contract with her. If not, you might have problems.
So I'm buying this lot that is in a townhouse community. It is privately owned not by association. I called them up and they are planning on finishing devlopment once covid is over. But I would like to know, if they are allowed to build on my lot because it is in their community. But I do own... Read more »
No, they can't build a house on your lot. You better ask them how they think they can do that. Perhaps you really don't own the lot; I suggest you run it by an attorney.
I lived in Maryland and bought a house in Fl. When we got here in January 2020 it took til May to find out the house had a septic system. We never had it inspected because it wasn’t disclosed to buying Realator.
So you didn't bother to ask, and now you want to cancel the sale or seek damages (if any)? No, I don't think you can do that.
I want to legally block my bf from returning to our shared residence after playing music in bar as I am high risk in contracting coronavirus & he REFUSES to agree to go elsewhere after playing to change clothes, shower & take all exposed equipment (he has a “following “ of people known...

Morning, I have Jefferson Capitol Systems, original creditor, and xxx attorneys for plaintiff still pushing for a garnishment and or judgement against me regarding an old bill from 2016. Oct 29th I have a pre trial court date via zoom. I have submitted to court, a petition added to my case on... Read more »
Whether your assets are exempt from execution is one issue; whether a judgment against you is quite another. The purpose of the pretrial conference on the 29th is to determine whether you owe the money and whether a judgment should enter. Only after that happens, and the judgment creditor tries...

Seller went online and looked up buyers after signing contract for sale of her home. Discovering buyer was convicted of a sex offense in 1994 seller no longer wants to honor contract. Does buyer have any legal recourse?
No, I doubt that the seller can get away with trying to cancel the contract. What does the buyer's past have to do with whether the contract is enforceable?
I paid an attorney to file my dad’s will and he didn’t. I am now being sued for his debts and I’m not named on the will. I know who the beneficiaries are and they are hiding their copy of the will so that my siblings and I are held responsible even though our dad abandoned us years ago and... Read more »
Why are you being sued for your father's debts; did you co-sign with him? And the beneficiaries named in your father's will are not liable either, except to the extent that they received distributions under the will. And, finally, what did you expect to accomplish by having an attorney... Read more »
If your driver's license is suspended in Georgia (I assume OCGA 40-6-189 is a reference to a Georgia statute), you basically aren't allowed to drive in any state.
It is a shared tard
I assume that the owner of the dog is your landlord. The lease should provide rules for how the yard is to be shared and, assuming the lease allows dogs, how sharing is to work with dogs. If it doesn't, and the dogs can't get along, you may have grounds to break the lease.
Our lease will be up march 2021. We have a written lease. My landlord just text me advising we have 30 days to move out. When i told her i jus paid rent and to give me 60 days or return my rent she said "you have 30 days. Read your lease" in my lease it states and i quote "11. Upon... Read more »
Yes, I suspect that a judge would find that a message by text qualifies as written notice.
Police were called, not helpful. Can I go to Doctor are they liable
Of course you can seek medical attention. They are probably liable; ask them to notify their insurance company.
Seller lives in Florida.
I don't think the question is sufficiently clear as to where the sale occurred. If negotiation of the terms, and delivery, occurred outside of Florida, I believe the transaction isn't subject to Florida sales taxes.
I keep getting his mail and he's never lived here. I'm getting g his public defenders letters
Call the public defender and explain the situation.
what kind of lawyer i need for the court hearing
I assume you were charged with leaving the scene of the accident. You need an attorney who has experience in criminal law.
The landlord never did a walk thru with us prior to moving in. Sh I just handed us the keys after our verbal agreement was made. We communicated the repairs we had to bbn make due to the condition the house was left in by the previous tenant. These repairs ranged from repairs to doors inside from... Read more »
No, you don't have any right to purchase the property; such an agreement would have to be in writing.
