Missouri's rent-withholding statute is unlikely to apply. It's limited to $300 or half a month's rent if I recall correctly. An attorney would need to read the lease to assess the situation.
His public defender told me to hold on to them when I asked him if he would like them at the first court date.
My ex has been harassing me since the break up and now is threatening to sell a video of us that he made of us. He posted images on Instagram also. He threatened to post videos and images everyday until I come back to him. I need help

I would gently recommend speaking to a trusted adult, counselor, attorney, or other mentor for guidance. Focusing on developing healthy relationships and personal growth is most constructive.

In Missouri, if you're unable to repay a loan, the lender may have several options, depending on the type of loan and the agreement you signed. It's important to first understand the terms of your loan, especially regarding default and collateral.
If the loan is secured, meaning... View More

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option could be to check with motor vehicles how long they take to process a replacement title, and if the process could be expedited. Good luck

A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. It could depend on the nature of the reaction. Such settings are fact-specific. Good luck

Ordinarily, in order to get emancipated, you must be financially independent. That works well for actors, musicians, inventors, etc. $14 an hour probably won't cut it

I'm not sure if you are stating that you filed a motion and served the plaintiff with a copy or if you simply wrote a letter to the judge. If the latter, then no. If the former, then you'll have to argue your duly noticed motion and win. Hire an attorney if you can afford one.

At the age of 17, you are no longer considered a "runaway" for police purposes. You could also seek emancipation if you're 17 and living on your own, supporting yourself.
My husband and I recently got divorced after being separated for 15 years. He did the paperwork without me and did not include me changing my name back in the decree. So as it stands, it seems I have to go to court to get my name changed back. I have a two-part question: 1. How much of a hassle is... View More

It's a hassle, but definitely doable. On the name-change forms, much of it just asks what you're wanting it changed to. They often won't question the name choice.
I've ended that contract agreement and listed the property with a different company. The former company still list my property on their website and others (airbnb, expedia, etc.) as managed by them.

If they won't take your request seriously, I think that a stern letter from an attorney will get you some results. If not, you could hire an attorney and sue for misrepresentation or tortious interference with contract.
Yesterday, I bought a Volvo 850 turbo from a dealer in independence Missouri. He told me that the car was in perfect running condition and that everything was great. He just had the oil changed, a new battery, and more. I got the car it ran great I signed the title and left. I drove less than 20... View More

I’m sorry to hear that. You can sue but it will be your burden to come up with admissible evidence showing that the seller knew about then problem and lied to you. At this point you’ve only articulated highly suspicious timing between the sale and breakdown. Consult with a consumer lawyer... View More

I see that the case was argued and submitted 11 months ago. The Supreme Court sometimes take around one year to rule.
I want to purchase a sword from a shop a few block from my home, but I can't drive so I'd have to carry it home.

If it is wrapped up and not easy to use, it should be OK. You can always get a long wide mailing tube or a carboard footer tube cut to length and put it in that.
