My life partner and I were together for 16 years, and we recently sold our home of 12 years located in Fort Pierce, Florida. She used her 401(k) funds to pay for the home initially.

I guess the real "surprise" was when the now ex-boyfriend drove off with the car he had ostensibly bought for your daughter. You question has many issues, but at its core, if the boyfriend used the car belonging to your daughter as partial payment for the new car, he is most likely guilty... View More

You may need to initiate a lawsuit for defamation. Depending on the nature of her statements, it may be defamation per se. Nevertheless, you will likely need to prove some economic damages which is often the primary hurdle in these cases.
I work through a recruitment firm in Tampa, Florida, which facilitated my initial interview with an end client located in Glendale, California, in 2021 and handles my paycheck. In early 2023, after discussions with the end client, I proposed starting my own company to work directly with them, which... View More

From my understanding of your explanation of the facts, this appears to be primarily a business dispute based on a breach of contract. There could potentially be some employment issues intertwined. I would recommend starting off by consulting with a business attorney that litigates these sort of... View More

While you "do not believe her position was justified", there is no law against acting rude.
The original bill was 25.500 or so and they increase it by double the amount and when I tried to confront them the paperwork got altered.
answered on Feb 6, 2025
You need to review your paperwork to identify whether you have a contract with the company that would allow them to assess that charge. Otherwise, it appears, they would have no basis for that charge.
Lawsuits are typically filed as class actions becuase plaintiffs (and potential plaintiffs) advance similar theories of liability.

Is she allowed to do this while we both own the bar? She did it for personal reasons. A bad break up.

No, unless you had an agreement providing she has exclusive rights to do whatever she did. In any event, if you are getting a business divorce, consult a lawyer who handles business formation and dissolution issues.

You need to disengage with someone who can affect your business like this. Speak with a local lawyer for... View More
