Not a good idea to name the captain on a public forum. You didn't ask a legal question. If you want to hire an attorney you will need to reach out to one directly. Find someone with experience in similar situations if possible.

You can view the docket through Pacer. You must pay a bit to view documents. Filings should be identified immediately when they are electronically filed.

It’s not a matter of legality but rather of the enforceability of such a provision. The enforceability would depend upon the facts, including the geographical and temporal scope of the provision.
Had another real estate agent calling clients that I had worked with and telling them that I had retired and that I had referred them to her. I’m concerned that this is affecting my business.

If you can prove that such a statement was made and you can prove that you were financially damaged and if you are willing to pay an attorney to file suit for you, go for it. Also, make sure the other agent has insurance or funds to pay any judgment you might obtain.

You should hire an attorney to review the contract and provide advice rather than hope that someone will accurately asses a snippet of the document.

Employers aren’t required to provide any vacation days. Therefore, this isn’t a matter of legally but rather whether the employer is breaching its contract with the employee.

If you don't pay the unsecured loan you'll likely get sued. If the case results in a judgment against you, the judgment either will automatically become a lien on real estate in your county or the plaintiff may "transcribe" an associate division judgment to make it into a lien.

If you have proof that the seller knew of the problem and failed to disclose, you could have an attorney assert a claim for violation of Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act (MPA). That's Missouri's consumer protection statute. On my website, there is an article you might find... Read more »

Unless your contract contains an arbitration clause, then of course you may sue the breeder, assuming you are willing and able to pay to litigate in Missouri. Have an attorney review the contract and assess whether you'd have a strong claim. Sorry that your pub isn't what you expected or desired.

If you don't reach a settlement then the case will go forward. If you lose, the plaintiff will have a judgment against you and can garnish your wages, bank account, etc.
If you don't show up at court a default judgment will be entered against you. If you are served, either show... Read more »

A creditor has the right to sue a debtor for an unpaid debt. I believe you want to know what your rights are as a debtor. You have the right to hire an attorney to defend the case or to represent yourself in court. You can also try to negotiate a settlement.

Missouri judgments last for 10 years unless revived sooner or there is a payment reflected on the record I’m not sure if your two payments are shown on the record. If so, that automatically resets the clock. A small claims judgment is not a lien on real estate but the title company still... Read more »

A dismissal with prejudice is the same as if the case were tried on the merits and you lost. You aren’t entitled to a do-over. Defamation cases in Missouri are tough.
