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.

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

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
