An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for over a week. This is a mess that could require sorting out beyond what is possible with a few quick recommendations on a Q & A forum.

A mediator helps the two spouses reach a settlement outcome that both spouses agree is fair, or at least tolerable. But if each spouse is not fully informed of their potential rights and all the implications of the settlement, then that spouse might be at a disadvantage in agreeing to a mediated... View More

Unfortunately an Ohio attorney is not going to be able to help you here. Because you father lived and died in Alabama, his will and estate will be probated there and be subject to Alabama law. Good luck in your search!

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. At this point, the least expensive option could be to direct your question to the instructor. That could be a safer approach than trying to interpret the language that creates concerns for you. Good luck

An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It could be best to print them, so that there can be a copy for yourself, the other side, and the judge. Since copies of printed text messages and emails can be regarded with suspicion as a general premise, it would... View More

Ohio courts routinely enforce arbitration clauses in contracts unless there are specific exceptions in the language of the agreement that would apply to your case, or if there is a significant difference in the bargaining power between the two parties to the contract. If the roofing company... View More

My roommate has completely moved out, but she says she will still pay her rent. Because she's on the lease. How can I legally get a new roommate?
answered on Oct 28, 2019
Both of you remain fully liable for the entire monthly rent amount. If she stops paying, and you do not pay it in full, landlord can evict you and sue both of you. Check your lease to determine if it allows you to sublease, or work it out with landlord if you find a new roommate.
What do or can I do?
answered on May 14, 2018
Do you have documents that show you paid the amounts they say are due? Were the amounts you paid listed on your tax returns, payroll deductions, or bank statements? If their records show you owe money, even if they don't have full documentation of that, you might have the burden to prove... View More

answered on Apr 19, 2017
Yes, unfortunately, you must use the proper eviction process. If you don't, they could sue you for wrongful eviction - and they probably would. Give them a 3-day notice for non-payment of rent, and then file for eviction after 3 days. The court might dismiss that, since there was never an... View More
