We bought the house, in North Carolina, shortly after getting married. Our jobs moved us out of state and we rented the house out on a 5 year lease with option to buy. The renters didn't buy, but still living there without paying rent (another legal issue in progress), and my now ex-wife is... Read more »

Your divorce decree should have specified what was to happen to that house, who was to pay mortgage, expenses, etc. If ex is not complying with the decree, then you can file with the court that issued your divorce decree and ask the judge to order her to comply and to hold her in contempt if she...

An ex-coworker sent me a text message stating people will be going after me after he talks to them and they will beat me, this is after he caused me issues at work by lying to HR and almost getting me fired.

You can do one or both of the following: report the matter to the police, and/or seek a civil protection order.
Suing me in California and i lived in Ohio all my life

If you have minimum contacts with that state, then personal jurisdiction over you will exist under California’s long arm statute. If not then you should fight jurisdiction.
Police is that legal? She gifted it to me and now I’m being told that if I don’t return it she will get the police involved and use my phone records.

This question depends on the nature of the transfer. If she truly gifted it to you, there is an argument it is yours. If she merely intended for you to use it, then it may still be hers. But, as the owner of the plan she likely has an undisputed ability to suspend phones she pays for.

Thank you!

No. She can't. It sounds like she just enjoys filing things with the court. She should be sanctioned for sending the child out of state.

A loan does not entitle a person to garnish your wages. They would have to obtain a judgment against you, and garnish wages based upon the judgment obtained against you.
Even if a judgment is obtained and garnishment is attempted, social security, disability, and retirement benefits are... Read more »
Nothing intended for my wife is involved. Just congratulations to their nuptials.

Generally this would not violate a restraining Order, but you should very carefully review the terms of the no contact Order. While this action may not typically violate a restraining Order, it may not be prudent to reach out to her family while this restraint is in place.

The day after my Fathers funeral service the Executrix and her husband and kids started to go through my Fathers house and started clearing it out and giving stuff away on top of whatever she took for...

The answer depends on a number of additional factors. A key issue that needs to be addressed is whether the household goods were considered a probate asset, or an asset of your father's Trust.

Through your lawyer, yes, you can have independent experts examine the suspect substance. The state labs will often retest upon request as well.

Unless she is under a Guardianship/mental disability, you can't. When a person turns 18 the parent has no legal right to require their return. I suggest reaching out and trying to improve the relationship if you want to see her again.
