He doesn't need a letter from an attorney. He needs to just sign off on title as part of the refinance. If he doesn't do this you can ask the court to find him in contempt.

If there is no custody order, and unmarried father in Ohio has no parental rights. That said, it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to prevent the father from getting parenting time if he sought a court order.
In Mom's Will, there is no mention of her mortgage or who inherits the house. Neither child wants it. Small, inexpensive estate and we can't find anything on life insurance. Who pays mortgage? Can I as executor sell it? Am I legally still required to pay on the house until it is sold?... View More

You need a full consult here. Many of your questions will be answered with 1) is there a will, 2) what does the will say. If there is no will, the process to clean everything up is slightly different than the process if there is a will that gives the executor specific powers.

If you've had no water for two years and leave you can sue for constructive eviction. However, you have to actually leave to do that.

No, but it really is best practice. Otherwise they can be fairly easily contested.

You are likely entitled to compensation above the fair-market value of the car under Ohio's Consumer Sales Practices Act. Performing a car repair in an unworkmanlike quality is an unconscionable act under the CSPA, potentially giving you triple damages.

How much money are we talking about? If they are going to be late in paying by 60 days it is probably not worth a suit. If they don't pay after the 90 days then consider serving a demand letter.
I got to see my daughter twice for 3 hours in a year. We tried mediation and her mother didn't want to continue it. The magistrate said my options were to go to trial or get a lawyer? I'm not sure what each mean and what to do. I have another court date on April 23 at 1 pm.

The magistrate is correct. If she won't voluntarily let you see your daughter, then you need to get a court order. This is typically a lot easier with a lawyer assisting you, particularly if you need to have a trial over the matter.

If the lease is signed by me and by the assistant manager of the property then it's a legally binding lease correct? They want me to sign another lease because they messed up on the amount they wanted me to pay.

As a matter of law, the lease is binding as signed. As a matter of practicality, that is not a good step to enter into a lease with a group that's going to make "mistakes" like that.

Agree with Todd's answer, but there are shortcuts here if the parties are willing to work together a little. If both mother and father are willing to execute an affidavit of paternity instead of doing genetic testing, for example, that knocks out a few thousand dollars right there.
We had our roof replaced 9 months ago and once it was finished, we paid what we owed based on the contract. After a few weeks we realized the work that had been done was not what we agreed upon.

If your case is pending, then you should be focusing on replacing your counsel, not suing them. Put your resources into that. A malpractice attorney won't save your house.
