To the contrary, it would likely be an anti-trust violation if you somehow prevented those buyers from participating freely in the real estate market or prohibiting them from contacting certain agents.

You can file for divorce where you live. Once she is served you can ask the court to order her to return the kids to where you live. The longer she is away and establishing the children in a new city, the more difficult it will be for you.

answered on Jul 31, 2017

An antitrust issue might be present if there is an effect on competition. Sometimes, your cost of doing business justifies a price difference. A distributor who buys 100,000 units normally gets a lower price than a distributor who buys 10,000 units.
