Without looking at the docket to see all of what is written and in which court it is pending, it's really gonna be a guess. That said, the guess is that this particular matter involving you has future court dates already set, namely a status conference set on November 15 and if the matter is... View More

If someone has left a storage building on your property for over six months, you generally cannot sell it without going through a proper legal process. You may need to follow your state's laws for abandoned property, which often requires notifying the owner, giving them a certain amount of... View More

More information is needed here. For example, are you asking about real estate or movable property (probably the former) and in what context? For purposes of adjudicated property it probably cannot be considered as such because taxes have been paid. I would advise that you contact an attorney... View More
I pass by this dog everyday and it’s constantly about to be hit on the highway. The people who used to live there (they no longer do as far as I know) always had new dogs that repeatedly got hit. 2/3 dogs were hit and the 3rd is an older dog. She knows to stay out of the road and is always... View More

If the dog doesn't have a tag or other indicator that it belongs to someone, you are safe in assuming it is a stray and keep it. Similarly, if someone observes an animal being abused, neglected or being subjected to circumstances that cause you to fear for its safety, Louisiana has a law in... View More

To form an unincorporated association in Louisiana, you generally do not need to file any documents with the Secretary of State. However, if you want to protect your officers and members from personal liability, you should file a Public Organic Document with the parish (county) where your... View More
Donating a movable to parties who are not related closely is not approved by Louisiana law correct?
answered on Aug 29, 2024
There does not have to be a relative relationship between donor and donee. One can donate a movable to anyone. If there was this restriction, then one would not be able to donate a movable to a non-profit organization and/or a church.
My daughter and mother live with me. We're not together anymore and she isn't paying rent. My daughter goes to school here and the mother wants to up and leave to SC where her mother lives. There's no abuse or negligence on my part, she wants to move over there because her mother is... View More

If this is an issue and/or might become an issue, then the paperwork between you and the mother regarding custody of the child will be important. What does it say as to relocation? If there is non paperwork currently, then I would immediately contact a family law/custody lawyer in your area to... View More

Post query in LA, not TX. Hire a LA collection attorney or real estate litigator. The foreign Judgment will need to be localized if it has not already been. Hopefully you have the Judgment filed as a lien. A bond may be required to execute the levy.

I have a judgement for 5000 and I am trying to seek payment. How do I type up a motion for a judgement debtor rule or is there an online form I can use?
answered on Aug 26, 2024
My suggestion is that you at least consult with a lawyer to see what you need to do and the best way to accomplish it. That said, you can also call the court in which you want to file the judgment debtor rule and ask it if it has a form to provide you.

Many of the attorneys here might not be familiar with this subject - the forum deals largely with U.S. laws and courts. The Nigerian Bar Association and law schools could be a starting point for guidance on where to begin research on this subject. Good luck

The best way to defend yourself is to consult and probably hire a criminal defense lawyer to protect your rights and construct your defense to the charges.

You can file legal paperwork in the succession suit record seeking review of the executor's charge.

answered on Aug 13, 2024
Short answer is that if you have a case pending and you believe discovery is not answered properly, then you can file a motion to compel and ask the court to compel the prosecuting authority for the information you seek---or have the prosecuting authority advise that they do not have any such...

I signed a student contract agreement that I didn’t realize stated that I could never cancel the program or withdraw. Additionally, they’re going to make me pay the loan even though the program hasn’t started yet and I will not be completing anything in the program.

It is very hard - if not impossible - to get out of student loans/student contract agreements.
For example, student loans cannot be discharged even through Bankruptcy proceedings. Further, Louisiana law is clear that in contract disputes, the contract signed by the parties is the law... View More
