More details would be needed here for an attorney to respond - at least some basic information about the type of matter involved. Or if it is something you don't wish to post on a public forum, you could contact attorneys in your area directly. Good luck

Q: Can the Subcontractor present a contract for the General Contractor to sign? Haven't seen any such contracts online.

I can only find Subcontractor Agreements online not a single General Contract agreement that the Subcontractor is presenting to the General. Does such a contract not exist? What protections can the Subcontractor have against the General Contractor?

You can feel free to make any contract you want. By and large there are no rules about what you can or can’t write down and agree to in a contract.

A lawyer can draft a simple contract for $500 or so in most cases.

Depending upon what you mean by your son abusing you, you may qualify for a elder-disabled person restraining order. You would be well served by consulting an attorney to determine your rights and whether applying for such a restraining order is likely to be successful. If so, the police will... View More
