On any given day, any person may sue another person for anything. There is no way to know for sure what is going on given that your question does not contain any information about your situation. Accordingly, we cannot give you a yes or no answer. Given the long lapse of time from building to... View More

Without reading all the HOA documents which have been filed with the Clerk of Court and all the other documents which could impact your question, there is nobody here that is going to be able to provide the answers you seek. I suggest that you find and meet with a qualified real property (real... View More

Congratulations on your success in Magistrate Court. Winning is one thing. Collecting is another. Unfortunately, you have found this to be the situation in your case. Worse, there is no way at all any of us can provide any assistance to you. We always have to adapt our actions to the needs of... View More

Cannot say without a review of the documents. He needs to meet with a Domestic Law attorney for sure.
I would not reveal that I was recording.
Also, can I record conversations with people in the hallway outside my room if their voices are easily discerned in my room with the door open without their consent?
answered on May 26, 2021
You need to be careful with this. GA follows the "one party consent" rule. Basically, you may record only the conversations to which you are a party. Again, even if you handle everything properly, your use of the recording is going to be much more restricted than you know. Just... View More

Did your attorney not address that issue in the divorce?
Every time I want to do add an upgrade on my home there is a problem with a fine or letter in my mailbox. The neighborhood is not uniformed so why are you trying to fine me for adding upgrades to my home and telling me to demolish my beautiful upgrades or tear it down. Please I need help.

I agree that you will want legal representation before you tangle with an HOA. They are notoriously vicious and biased in the minds of many people. Be sure to speak with an attorney who works with land, title and HOA issues. It is a tough nut to go it on your own.
It states that I must pay the full purge amount or I'll be incarcerated.

Yes, but not in the way you might think. You would not be going to jail because of failing to pay educational loans. Instead, you would be "put in jail" because of your failure to abide by THE COURT'S ORDER. In other words, by not paying what you were court ordered to pay, you in... View More

No. I am unaware of a cause of action that would allow you to sue for this.
This is for a child custody battle. I have no prior record and the request is not subpoenaed. Do I HAVE to answer? 9-11-26 and 33 says I have to answer but nowhere does it explain the boundaries for such questions. Wouldn't HIPAA override this request?

Just have him change his name by filing for a name change through the court.

Most, if not all, the states cooperate in the collection of child support. Typically in a situation like this, MA will send to the GA child support agency in your county the necessary info for GA to collect from you here in GA. If you believe the lien is a mistake, I would certainly urge you to... View More
I worked for a company and retired after 30 years. Retired in 2004. I started work in 1973 , married in 1987.
answered on May 11, 2021
Yes. The portion of the retirement which accrued to you while you were married will be considered "marital property." Thus, it will be subject to an equitable division. This being said, however, in every case there is typically an issue which takes the case a different direction. To... View More

As Mr. Jordan explained, there is not enough information given for us to be able to provide a competent response. I would tell you that if the father resides outside the state of Georgia, if your son lives with him for six (6) months, the jurisdiction of the case would swing away from GA to the... View More

Provided there is no specific prohibition regarding the HOABOD being the ARC, then probably. In undertaking the responsibility of the ARC, the HOABOD have essentially appointed themselves. Do I believe this is best for everyone? Probably not.

I'm sorry. Your question does not make sense. It is incomplete.
My father has been deceased for 19 years. My step-mom want to exhume his body and cremate him. I am his daughter and I want to see if I have any legal rights to stop her?
My step-mom is currently remarried. Her reason is she doesn't want him there (she pick the place) and she... View More

As you might imagine, we don't see this issue come up every day. Without doing much research on this, I am providing to you a statue (law) which might mean your mother could be charged with a felony for doing this.
