Someone who doesn’t like me comes by my house regularly and blows train horns that he has hooked up to his truck and recently spooked my horse. My horse ran into the side of our barn due to this. We’ve reported him to the police for running me off the road and harassment but they say there is... Read more »
You can look into if your city or county has a local noise ordinance, but if the police refuse to enforce it that may be a problem. You may want to call the city attorney or district attorney to discuss the matter.
He only had once child. She is deceased. My siblings don't want to purchase the land. Will there be an issue with the title once I sell it, because of this clause? What should I do?
You will need a competent AL attorney to clear that Right of First Refusal. Apparently there may be interested Heirs. Then possibly an Affidavit of Heirship, and a QCD from them should clear the Title.
My company helps military veterans with their benefits and provides counseling for them to make sure they are receiving the maximum benefits they are entitled to.

I was hit by a car and we got a $70,000 settlement but I only received $26,000 how do I know if I was cheated
An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Law firms generally provide a summary of how money is distributed at the conclusion of a case. Without knowing more details, an attorney could only make general guesses about the figures here. Assuming that you... Read more »
The child is 2yo boy. The parents were never married. The mother has filed for child support through DHR (pending) and no custody has be arranged or started. The mother tried to press charges for DV but they were dropped. The mother was given 7 days to leave with their child and her other 2... Read more »
Thank you for the question. Neither party has legal custody of the child until a court order is issued. The mother has filed a case in a certain state, if she leaves, there are jurisdictional issues that may be raised by the court or the father if she moves or fails to pursue the case. Of course...

Thank you for your question. Nineteen is the age of majority in Alabama. If your child is completely self-supporting financially, and you can prove it, then the Court may allow a modification but it's not a guarantee based on what you've said. Best of luck!
An Alabama attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. You probably need to respond with a set period of time, which is probably included in the papers. You could reach out to a local collections defense attorney to review the summons and complaint and discuss your... Read more »

You likely need an attorney who handles eminent domain or inverse condemnation cases. The Alabama Supreme Court has found that in some cases excessive runoff and erosion may result in an unconstitutional taking. The viability of inverse condemnation claims are highly dependent on the timing and... Read more »
You likely need an attorney who handles contract disputes. Often construction law attorneys deal in large commercial disputes. A general practitioner or trial attorney will likely be able to give you advice on your individual situation.
The property is in Texas and I’m the LLC is in Alabama.
Hire a competent TX attorney to draft and record that Deed. A good AL attorney could also draft such a TX Deed, but most will not want to do the research on how to properly do so. There may be tax implications also. But the Granting Clause to a LLC must be right and you will not want a mistake... Read more »

Should we inherit or transfer deed into name and just pay the property taxes?
A Living Trust would be one of the best simple ways for your father to set up his estate plan. The real estate would need to be transferred to the Trust and the documents would most certainly need to be prepared by an attorney. An Attorney who practices in the area of estate planning and tax law... Read more »
Not specifically stated in the contract. In other words can the seller cancel the contract for no reason without consequence within a period of time (3 days, etc.)
Usually there are provisions in the contract that allow to cancel for specific reasons, such as not passing inspection or clouded title. You really need a lawyer to read the whole contract in order to advise you of the specifics, as they can all be different.
I was supposed to get a 70,000. On the case but only received 26,000
Request a settlement statement that details where the money went. I presume the gross settlement amount was $70,000.00 and some portion of that likely went to case expenses, attorney's fees and paying back medical bills or insurance subrogation. However, that is merely a presumption. Your... Read more »

The defendant received another court date and is convinced I filed them but the state is the plaintiff. He thought it was dropped. Why is there another court date? And am I involved?
I am assuming that this is an Alabama Court. If not, you should ask a Tenn. lawyer.
The state is who brings the charge against the person who abused you. You are the complaining witness. You should get some counseling and stick to your guns and see this through.
Hi i have been paying child support regularly for the last 11 years. And now my child is going through some difficulties so his Mother wants him to live with me instead. Since living with me i am going to spend money on him the Mother wants to waive / stop the child support.
Question:... Read more »
Your thoughts on this are correct. You do need to go through the court system to end child support. You may be able to end child support without changing custody but you will have to provide an acceptable reason to the judge as to why child support would be waived. As always this should likely...

Obviously, you need to hire an Alabama lawyer to get your child back. You have stumbled upon something I spend a lot to time explaining to fathers in Alabama. Your name on the birth certificate and signing the affidavit of paternity at the hospital only creates a presumption of paternity and does... Read more »
