So after the judge made his judgement. He said my ex had until the end of the month to return my dog. What happen is she doesn't return my dog or what steps can i take to enforce the judgement?

answered on May 20, 2022
If she does not return your dog, you may apply to the court for an order of contempt (i.e. that she did not comply with the court's order) and serve it on her. There will be additional legal penalties imposed on her for doing so.

If you've been injured by someone else's negligence (e.g. by failing to remediate a known mold exposure), then yes, you can sue the person who failed to remediate (i.e. the former property manager) for your injuries/damages. There is a 2-year statute of limitations for injury cases, so... Read more »
I was in an auto accident where my insurance found me 80% liable. I was pulling out of a parallel parking space, and the other party was turning right onto my road from another road. I had already started pulling out before he turned on my road (parking space was 20 feet from the intersection), but... Read more »

1. When you are pulling into the road from parking, you are entering another's right of way, so if the other car was moving in that right of way, then you have violated his right of way. So contesting liability in this case doesn't seem like a winner.
2. Yes, unfortunately these... Read more »

My friend is starting up a business, he’s doing good and now needs a shop to work. He does not have the credit to lease a place. He asked me to help him lease in exchange for 10% of earnings. What would I have to report to the IRS or does his total earnings affect me in any way? I am aware I’m... Read more »

I'm not a tax attorney, and you may need to consult one or a CPA for details, but my understanding is that the IRS only cares about your income received, so you need to report to them your income from that source.
I have not been served the amended complaint so do I respond to original complaint or amended complaint which I downloaded from court website?

But if no amended complaint was served on you yet, you can always call/email the attorney for plaintiff and ask for service of the... Read more »

This party may have been sneaky and filed the Substitution with the court right before the deposition and claimed that it had not... Read more »

You always have the right to fire your attorney if you are dissatisfied with their services. Also, it's completely your choice whether to have the additional surgery or not. Your attorney cannot deny you the right to get that treatment for your injury.

Only if that person has opted out of the class can they collect a separate judgment against you for the same claim. If their claim is different, they may be entitled to a judgment for those other claims.
