Are you part of an association? I imagine your best - or at least your first - course of action would be to address this with the association.

I filed a serious domestic abuse charge on an ex bf a year ago in one city, the entire time I was under the impression he had a warrant for his arrest because of it. He just assaulted me again in a different city and that city has been doing a very good job pursuing charges but they could not find... View More

No, they would not be liable. Were you told he had a warrant? Even if a warrant were issued, they would have no liability for what subsequently happened. But if this other city is unable to find anything in LEIN, then it's possible the first police department either never submitted the report... View More

It very much matters whether both names were on the deed. It also matters - moreso - whether this newly created trust was funded. That would mean a deed was signed by the now deceased spouse placing the home into the trust. Even with that, the surviving spouse could elect his or her spousal... View More

Friend of the Court has done nothing to enforce support except issue a bench warrant in 2017 which is currently active. I'd appreciate any thoughts regarding best course of action in regards to the felony arrears.

Urgent care owned by physician to share 50% equity with a NP who will be managing partner.

Hello,

I recently was served a lawsuit for adverse possession of my property. Thing is we clearly have enough evidence proving the plaintiff has no case (or so I believe). They claim they and their past relatives have been maintaining the property line for the last 15 years as hostile,... View More

And are there any type of federal or state (Michigan) requirements that could still result in legal ramifications to a landlord, who denies a physician-documented emotional support animal? When an exemption is applicable for an owner occupied building less than 4 units?
