A husband and wife are communicating online, the husband is in Afghanistan while the wife on a military base in Washington State, the wife convinces the husband to disclose whether or not he has participated in criminal activity. So the husband agrees to disclose this. Now the wife decides to call... Read more »
This is a question of military (federal) law, and of the law of Washington State. So why did you ask it in Justia > Ask a Lawyer > Florida; it has nothing to do with Florida law?
A was accused of voter fraud 4 years ago I did my time the case is over but today the media/news decided to run my story again as example of fraud can they do that
Yes, they can do that.
My ex wife and I were having a private conversation and she recorded it without my knowledge. She then sent it to me pregnant wife to upset her by making me look bad because it was taken out of context. Do I have a case?
In Florida it is unlawful to record anyone who has not consented to being recorded. Consider filing a criminal complaint against your ex.

Defend yourself against what? You said the officers left without arresting you, and I assume you mean they also did not give you any notice to appear in court. Also, from your description, it does not sound like the type of police case where they will be in on-going investigation to determine if... Read more »
I've occupied a unit in a condo complex for the past 2 years. The building has known issues with cable wiring. Xfinity provided us with equipment for self installation, however our internet connection continued to fail after many attempts by service techs to repair. They finally told us that... Read more »
Nobody is required to furnish internet access, unless the requirement is specifically mentioned in the lease. You have some options, I think: pay to upgrade the condo's cabling; move; or see if you can access the internet via satellite or some other wireless method of connecting to the... Read more »
Can an agreement via text be used in court as a legal binding agreement?
Usually oral agreements would be considered to be legally binding if the terms can be sufficiently proven. The statute of limitations can be different if an agreement is not in writing. While it's possible that a judge might for some reason think a text message doesn't qualify as a... Read more »
In Florida, you need two-party consent to record a conversation. Meaning that everyone involved in the conversation must consent to the recording.
I pointed out a mistake made on TF checks. I gave them back. The Attorney was going to make corrections. Told me to pick them up the following day this was a year ago. I still as of today received the TFs Monies. Once check were wrote did this end attorney's fiduciary duties?
He has... Read more »
Obviously the attorney's duties (as trustee, I assume) are not done, at least until the checks are properly written, accepted, and deposited. It looks like the attorney wants to meet with you about this, which also indicates that the matter is not over.
I applied to be an amazon driver, the application asked if I was 21, my birthday was in a couple weeks so I said yes. I was hired on Nov 30th. They verified my ID and I still moved forward with the hiring process. I told the managers that I wasnt 21 but I would be in two weeks and they allowed me... Read more »
In general, most employment is "at will". This means that an employer doesn't need a reason to fire someone. So yes, they can terminate you even under the questionable circumstances you describe.
After making all timely payments on our mortgage that was sold from Bank of America to Carrington in February of 2018. they State we owe June and July of 2018 even though we have proof that we sent the checks & they were cashed by Carrington. On Friday July 19th 2018 we received a foreclosure... Read more »
I don't think you need counsel yet - as you have not given the lender time to digest the information they probably just received yesterday or maybe not even until today.
But - if Carrington proceeds to foreclosure then you must seek counsel immediately. In the meantime you can ask for... Read more »
How would this person possibly do this?
If you are an employee and they are an employer, that would be different.

Such a rule would probably withstand a court challenge, but I find it difficult to imagine that the HOA would bother going to court over such a trivial issue.

Did your phone company tell you that you had violated their EULA? If not, I don't think you have to worry about it.
"Eavesdropping is secretly listening to the private conversation of others without their consent." In Florida I read "Florida's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. Florida makes it a crime to intercept or record a "wire, oral, or electronic... Read more »
It' not eavesdropping if it is on speaker for a business purpose. You are speaking with the university, as in the people are all employees of that same entity. You also work for them so technically you are all the same legal party and likely would not have a cause of action. It would be... Read more »
We live in Florida. We have been divorced for 6 years. We have always used email. Two months ago, I started getting responses to my emails saying that he longer accepts emails and to text instead. Do I have to comply? (I think that he simply does not want his email rants on the record.)
I suggest that you refer to the provisions of your parenting plan and/or final judgment that pertain to communication between the parents on the default communication methods. If both email and text were checked, typically email is used for long/substantive messages and texts are used for short... Read more »
I worked for 2 years completely uncompensated for a nonprofit organization that I no longer wish to be associated with. While volunteering I created a website and social media page that I managed. I now want to know if I'm permitted by law to delete the content on these pages that I created... Read more »
How was the web content copyrighted? If it belongs to the nonprofit, then it is theirs. I suggest that in order to avoid any problems in the future you just hand it over to the director.

Now, Can I record our conversation in my own home for my own protection?... Read more »
Before you record someone in your own home, I believe that you must inform them that you are recording. It might be a third degree felony if you do not. In order to answer your question with a solid opinion letter, I would have to do a mountain of research on this particular topic, as almost any... Read more »
