I bough the house in 2007 with my ex. Being military we moved and both signed a contract with a property company. After a few years we got divorced. We did a deed in leu and the house is solely under my name. I've had the current tenants for years and I am planning to sell. I asked the... Read more »

Seller went online and looked up buyers after signing contract for sale of her home. Discovering buyer was convicted of a sex offense in 1994 seller no longer wants to honor contract. Does buyer have any legal recourse?

My father is the one who bought the car, he is now in Venezuela. I am living here in the US. We have the money that is due, however because I am not on the title or contract they will not allow me to pick up the car. My father has no way of being here to pick up the car himself. Is it a lost cause?
Speak to the party holding the car about obtaining an affidavit from your father that gives you authority to retrieve the car for him. You can do this without consulate. Use instead a remote Virginia online Notary.
I would sell them to local small businesses that do ac repair and need hvac units for their customers. I do not have a license and wanted to know if I legally needed one to be able to buy and sell hvac in FL

If the vehicle is repossessed, it will be sold at auction and the proceeds applied to your loan balance. However, there is no... Read more »

A person has had lots of fun for many years bragging about restraining orders they have against me when in truth, there is not and never was a restraining order.
The only thing that comes to mind is defamation, which can give rise to a civil action against a defamer. So, assuming there is no restraining order against you (truth is an absolute defense), unless you can somehow prove that the disparaging comments (1) are false, and (2) are being relied upon by...
