The State has offered to purchase a portion of the property. This would include a majority of the septic field. She has nowhere to replace it. They did not have any compensation for this item listed on their offer. Would that make her property inhabitable and what are her options? Do they have to... Read more »
Your daughter needs to make an appointment with an experienced real estate lawyer to discuss this. Make sure she brings to the appointment a copy of the offer the state made.
Side question, if I am unable to fully move out of the home, would I be able to just walk out and sleep at a friend's house occasionally?
The real question would be....
What are my limitations as an 18-year-old with a job that only pays 50 per day?
Would moving out be... Read more »
You are not considered an adult until you either reach 18 years of age or are emancipated (declared to have the rights of an adult) through a court proceeding.

I’m 16 and one of my parents is giving child support to my other one. With the pandemic going on my mother, who receives child support, recently lost her job. I’ve been wanting to help her but she’s questioning whether I’m allowed to work, since my father is giving her child support. I just... Read more »
Yes, you can work. And I salute you for being so responsible.
If your spouse lives in Illinois you should be able to file for divorce in the county in which your spouse lives.
My ex husband has parenting time every other weekend. Our daughters are 13, 9 and 9.
Last weekend my daughter walked by his bedroom at 2 p.m. when all of the kids were in the house and heard voices. The door was closed, but she could clearly hear him engaging in an online chat coercing... Read more »

What document do I use? If it's a quitclaim deed, what name is listed as the grantor? The deceased person, or "The Estate of ...."? I would be the one signing it, as the administrator. The current deed is in the deceased's name solely.
I have to be blunt: You shouldn't attempt to do this without using a lawyer.

I traveled to the last court date from Oklahoma and was told that I could take my son home with me. They closed the case, and at the bottom of the court order, it is written, “All custodial rights of the minor are vested to (my name).” Does this mean that I now have full or sole custody of my...

It sounds like you have sole custody of your son. You should see an attorney licensed to practice law in Oklahoma to figure out what your next step is in that state.
Your child support is determined by the last court order. It doesn't change just because a parent moves from one state to another.
He's threatening her by saying he's going to take the kids and have her declared mentally incompetent.
Until a court order is entered determining when each of the parents has time with the children, the rights of the parents are exactly the same. It is not kidnapping to take your own child, unless a court order determines the other parent should have the child at that time.
In other words,... Read more »
The landowner I am purchasing it from allowed a friend of his to put a mobile home on the property until it was sold. I have put 2000$ down on this property. How can I get this person to legally leave
When you have title to the property (after closing) you'll be able to evict someone. The mere fact you're in the process of buying it is not enough.
My question is did I do anything illegal by calling to oppose of going to the court house?
What you did is not illegal.
I have been working there since January and I was told I am exempt from FLSA but when I did some research there is nothing saying that hourly employees are exempt.
As a very general rule, hourly employees are not exempt unless they work in specified industries. You haven't provided enough information for anyone to give you particularly good advice.
I need some legal advice . I have a Landlord who is not cashing late payments on rent in a timely manor . He is also not giving receipts for payments .

What is your question? This may make balancing your checkbook harder, but it has no other effect on you.
Yes, if he can prove paternity.
My spouse has been homeless for a while. I really need to get our divorce done. We’ve been separated since 2015. He said I can get them sent to his dads house. Will they serve it to his dad?
Thanks
No, not unless your spouse lives there.
This includes not paying court ordered child support. We've been together 8 years and married for 3. Do we need her consent?
You don't necessarily need her consent based on the facts you set forth, but it will be easier if you have her consent. Either way, you are required to provide her formal notice that you're attempting the adoption.
No. It would be a conflict of interest for the attorney.
I had owned 49% of the company and he owned 51%. Originally it was believed that you had a better chance of getting contracts with the government if it was native owned or woman owned. I’m part native. So during COVID lockdown he forced me sign the loan telling me it was the law in order to... Read more »
Changing the business name has nothing to do with your rights in a divorce. You need to bring everything to the attention of the lawyer handling your divorce though.
and the other does not. How do I know which one is on file and approved by the court. Divorce was 5 years ago but now I'm looking at one version and my ex is looking at the other version. There are big differences between them.
If one copy is stamped "Filed" by the appropriate Circuit Court Clerk, it's a pretty safe bet it's the one that is in force (unless there has been a modified one filed later). The unstamped copy is probably a rough draft copy exchanged between the attorneys when they were trying... Read more »
