The landlord may be responsible but more information is needed. My recommendation is that what you should do is contact a personal injury lawyer and set up a consult to discuss the specifics of your matter---most personal injury lawyers provide free consults so you should take us up on these...

If the co-owners or property cannot get along and/or disagree with the use of the property, then one can go to Court and force a sale of the property ----I would suggest that you contact an attorney in your area to consult as to the process for doing this. Good luck.

Arguments can be made that it's separate property or that it's community property. I would suggest you sit down with a community property or family law attorney to specifically discuss this and determine a strategy for what you desire and if it's practical. For example, one needs... View More

answered on Sep 16, 2024
If law enforcement obtains a warrant based on suspicion and belief and enters your home but does not find anything illegal, they typically cannot arrest you solely on that suspicion. Warrants allow them to search your property for evidence of a crime, but if no evidence is found, their authority to... View More

If you currently have an attorney you should address these issues directly with him or her. If you have come into new information or facts about your case the first call should be to them. They will be more involved and have better knowledge of your direct facts that what you may find online.

Three Open container tickets from Woodworth Louisiana went to collections and the collection agency is saying that I cannot make any payments less than a $100 they will only accept payments of a $100 or more is that legal can they do that

Technically, they have been hired to the full amount you owe so they can refuse anything less than that. It isn't practical, but it's likely legal. I would send in the payment anyway. They will likely process it as that is cheaper than taking the time to mail it back to you. Good luck.
