You don't want to hire lawyers but you posted a question to ask lawyers what they think? You all can go through any arbitration you want. But whatever comes out of that neither party has to abide by. So I'm not sure what would be the point. Not to mention an arbitrator can only... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Until you're able to consult with a local attorney, the short answer in a med mal action is that you could generally file suit, after satisfying the state's requirements for a certificate or affidavit (if... View More
But my bank said that giving them a picture of the check is super weird. To just sit money aside. What should I do and can I get in trouble for not sending them pictures?

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. No, I do not think you would get in trouble for that. But they could use it as a justification to delay a corrected payment. You could ask them why they aren't able to verify the amount of the check by you... View More

You can obviously make any allegations you want, the same as she. Whether the court will consider those allegations cruel treatment is up to the judge. At this point since you have completed some form of discovery, I would focus on preparing for trial. And if you can't hire an attorney, the... View More
I have a signed mediation agreement and now the other party will not sign the final order to go to the judge and her lawyer keeps changing the agreement after mediation is over.
answered on Nov 6, 2023
If you have an attorney you should speak to your attorney about any changes the opposing attorney has attempted to make after mediation ended. If you are representing yourself you could file to enforce the mediated agreement. But there is not a form for that. If a final order was drafted by... View More
I don't write letters often to Federal Agencies, however, wen I do, they almost always go unanswered for several months, or several years or in most cases - never. Just trying to get a feel for a viable defense if they come back one day down the road. Thanks.

No. The Federal Rules of Evidence do not have a statute similar to O.C.G.A. 24-4-23. The closest would be FRE 301 but that would not likely help you in your specific circumstances.

Mediation schedules can be flexible to accommodate the availability of both parties involved. If one party is requesting a delay due to travel plans or other reasons, it's typically possible to reschedule the mediation session. However, the success of mediation often relies on both... View More
Important issues were left out during mediation.
answered on Mar 25, 2023
It is unlikely the Court will order the parties to attend mediation again or that the opposing party will agree to mediate again. If there are issues that were not addressed, you can attempt to resolve those with the other side and come to an agreement. But having an attorney would have... View More

Per Bankruptcy Code 523(a)(16), these debts are probably not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so you would continue to owe them. Whether they represent an accurate balance of what you owe is a different issue.
I suggest clearly breaking down all charges and payments made (like a statement),... View More

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. In general nationwide, the meaning is pretty much what you'd expect it to be - offering truthful statements while speaking or being questioned under oath, usually in a courtroom setting.

You will need to file for divorce so that you can request child support and a request of your assets such as the 401k, and alimony if you qualify to receive it. In addition to child support you should also request help paying for child care. If you are in Georgia, child care is added to the base... View More

The answer to your question is very simple. With all the respect I can muster, you MUST meet with a real estate attorney to ensure that this effort is done properly. If it isn't, you will forever regret your mistake.

My boyfriends exwife took out a criminal trespassing warrant on us because she got mad at him when he dropped off the kids. I wasn't there and was at work but my name was on it too. Can she do that? Can I press charges for this?
answered on Nov 18, 2020
It appears as though you have a defense to the criminal trespass. Depending on the circumstances, she could be charged with filing a false police report.
