If you own the mobile home but rent the lot in a park, your right to rent out your home can be influenced by the park’s rules—*if* those rules exist in writing. Since you said there are no written lease agreements or park guidelines restricting rentals, that works in your favor. Without... View More

If a WY divorce you have to hire a WY attorney to file a petition for contempt against wife in the original divorce case. Hopefully your divorce decree says what you claim. If the divorce does not say alot, then you will have to file an action for a sale for partition.

I am confused? Have they provided a Federal trademark registration number? When I used tmsearch.gov I did not see FradingTard180 as a registered Federal mark.
If they merely have registered FradingTard180 as a State mark in another State, that shouldn't affect you at all in Wyoming. If... View More
