They can try to deny the surgery, they are not likely to succeed. If you don't have a lawyer, get one ASAP to fight this for you.
Fell on shoulder at work. Filed paperwork about injury but did not feel need for medical aid at the time. Have pain off and on for seven months. Want to see doctor and am told I waited too long and workmans comp will not pay the bill. Is this right?
answered on Jun 14, 2019
The insurance company's perspective is that since you went without treatment for seven months you must not have suffered an injury needing treatment. In their eyes, the fact you need treatment for the first time seven months later indicates you suffered a re-injury that they are not... View More

Call and ask them how much they charge and how fees are calculated.

This is a family property, my family. In the event of divorce, I want to ensure that I maintain majority interest in the property. Gram is 93, what would happen to her portion in the event of her passing? She has outstanding debts at this time.

There's no way to answer your question authoritatively without more information. I encourage you to meet with an attorney. When you do, bring a copy of the deed establishing title in you, your grandmother and your husband. The answer to your question can only be determined by examining that deed.
I've been told about Cobra from the insurance card customer service number that the plan is until May 31, 2019, yet it was also said by the health insurance company that the plan is paid through March 2019.

Unless you are completely supporting yourself economically and both your parents agree you should be emancipated, it won't happen. How much it costs to will vary depending on the hourly rate charged by attorneys in your community.
Verbal contract only. I get mail there. I have keys to both building door and the apartment door. All my property is still there. He stated he is changing the locks and anything left inside will be thrown away. Intimidated me and scared me with fear of trespassing and chance of being arrested

If the question is, "CAN he do it?" the answer is yes, people can do a lot of things. If the question is, "Yeah, but is he breaking the law when he does it?" the answer is also yes. He is supposed to give you notice that you're being evicted and, if you don't move out... View More
i know that the property line isn't at the current fence line. i want to know the exact line for myself and so the new owner won't be misled thinking they own for than they do.

No. If it matters a lot to you, pay for a survey of your lot, not the neighboring one. If it doesn't matter enough to you that you're willing to pay for a survey, you shouldn't worry about where the lot line is.

Under the circumstances you outline I see no downside to getting a pre-nup. I strongly encourage you to do so.

Current guardian no can longer take care of him - 16yrs old. Can I just transfer guardianship? Notarized letter? Does this have to be handled through court? And if so, where do I start and what paperwork is needed? Trying to do this the easiest way possible
answered on May 21, 2019
This must be done through the court. Your best bet is to contact a lawyer well-versed in family law and, if everyone agrees this is what needs to be done, meet the lawyer with the aunt and the nephew present and discuss what needs to be done.

Don't want my fiance to know my assets but want a prenup - is there any solution?
answered on May 20, 2019
I agree with Mr. Kulerski. One of the key requirements for a valid pre-nuptial agreement is the full disclosure of all, repeat all, the assets of each party to the other.

When she's 18 years old she becomes an adult and can live where she chooses. Until then, her residence is determined by court orders.
answered on May 13, 2019
No. You cannot trust someone who's already told you he is contractually obligated to also represent the other side to just represent you at closing. You need to hire an attorney as quickly as possible. Buying a home is typically the biggest expense you'll ever have -- it is worth the... View More
We have 50/50 custody with me as Primary residence. He moved after we were divorce 27 miles further. He wants me to pick her up now at his residence. He picks her up at mine. But I also didn't move further. If we went back to court would I still have to drive the distance?

Any answer I gave would simply restate the lease provision you quote in different words. If it's been a problem, talk to the landlord and see if you can work out other terms.
