Ahh, OK. There are two types of custody, legal custody and physical custody. I understand that the mother and father have joint legal custody in California. Physical custody is still being decided, but it seems that Lilli's mother has temporary physical custody. This is really a California law... View More

Car insurance is on the car, not the driver in New York. The insurance company may be saying that the car wasn't insured under them on the date of the accident. Make sure there wasn't another insurance company that covered the car at the time. You should sue the vehicle owner, the named... View More
It’s been a month and they are barley telling me this isn’t that like not right ?
answered on Jul 20, 2020
This is a Spot Delivery scam. It is happening more often now. Since a month has gone by, you may be able to force the dealer to finance it themselves. In other states, they only have 10 days for the seller's right to cancel. In IL, you need to read your sales contract for the term. If you... View More

In order to have someone declared incompetent, you will need to file for guardianship. Yes, you will need a lawyer, because this process is too complicated for you to be successful without one. Also, you listed this question under Washington DC. If you do not live in IL, you will have a hard time... View More
Older brother claimed me on his taxes last year. I did not agree to it. Now I won't get my first stimulus or even second a friend said. I'm 41 and not even a dependent
answered on Jul 20, 2020
If you filed your own taxes as a non-dependent, then you will get a stimulus check and he could be charged with tax fraud. If you claimed on your taxes that you were claimed as a dependent on his return, then you agreed to it and will not get a stimulus check. If you did not file taxes, you may not... View More

You don't state what your relationship is to this child. Her parents have legal custody. They have a right to have her returned to them in California. Lilli is not old enough to be declared an emancipated minor in IL. If you don't comply with the parents' wishes, they could sue you... View More
Took some money that wasn’t mine, willing to pay it back , it was a large sum and am meeting with party and their attorney to discuss terms. Can we enter into a repayment agreement without going to court?
answered on Jun 29, 2020
You can enter into a settlement without going to court, but you should not say anything or go to that meeting without your own attorney. It is possible you also committed a crime. You need to be prepared to protect your rights. There will also be a settlement document prepared that you will need an... View More

Possibly. You need to prove what your payroll cost was for the last 12 months.
I had an engine rebuilt 5 months ago and the engine just went bad. The repair had a 1 year/10,000 mile warranty. I contacted the company, but was told they are permanently closed. Do I have any options? The company is an LLC, and is located in Illinois.
answered on Jun 29, 2020
You may still have a claim against the company. You will need to find out if they filed their dissolution paperwork with the IL Secretary of State. You can search the cyberdriveillinois.com website for their status. You can also check to see if there is a bankruptcy filing. If there is, you can be... View More

Unfortunately, they can choose not to do business with you and terminate the agreement. They do not need to explain why in most cases. You posted this under entertainment / sports. Did you use the account for gambling? That is against their TOS. If you have evidence your account was hacked, you can... View More
The last owner that sell the house for me, he gave me the home warranty,
answered on Jun 29, 2020
The answer to your question depends on many facts that you haven't provided and the terms of the home warranty agreement. The warranty company may be breaching its agreement, but it is not clear. In small claims court, you can only sue for monetary damages, not specific performance. So, make... View More

It seems you have property rights in the home. I believe she is mistaken that your property rights will be wiped out in the probate court. You were given the property before your father died, which means that part of the property does not go through probate. I would not sign the quit claim deed if... View More
