Both dogs have had medical issues and surgeries because of genetic defects. According to our Vet, because of the breeding. We found out about the breeder through her website (facebook) where there were several postings from other owners having issues and her falsifying information in regards to... Read more »
The issue is whether the breeder committed fraud and/or breached the contract. Genetic defects, alone, do not provide a ground for suit. Many purebreds have genetic defects, hence it's better to adopt a mutt. Falsified info, if justifiably relied on to your detriment, may constitute... Read more »
I assume you are talking about an adult son, not a minor, and I assume you are wondering if you can obtain a restraining order to keep him away from you. If this is not the case, it's best to re-word your inquiry and re-post. There are limited types of NON-physical contact that warrant the... Read more »
My fiancé and I got a vehicle together (both co-buyers on the loan). We ended up not being able to make the payments and we’re going to voluntarily give it back to the bank. It was this big ordeal and the bank wasn’t letting me set up a time for someone to either come pick it up or for me to... Read more »
Nothing goes away. You should inform the bank about this so that it can take any action it deems necessary for them to track down the vehicle and take possession of it. 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 »

Contract states no refunds, but due to the pandemic and rules over 10 guest are not allowed in a vacation rental in pinellas county......

The answer to this questions depends on what you want to do. On the one hand, if the contract clearly states that there would be no refunds in any circumstance, probably you cannot ask for a refund. However, if there is a force majeure clause or a similar clause making exception you could be able... Read more »

That's not the way the civil court or the criminal court system works. Sounds like a scam or at least shady.

Now I have to stay longer than expected. If we made an agreement on payments to pay him back, could he have me arrested of I fail to make payments on time?
Sounds very problematic and you need to either give the money back or get him his trailer immediately...depending on the value of the trailer you could be charged with either a felony or misdemeanor (probably a felony).

My due date is the 20th, courts are not open until the 21st, but my house flooded, I lost all power and electricity so I evacuated to Alabama. Am I required to still e-file on the 20th or will they give an extension to due the circumstances?
You must find out if the Court in your area issued an administrative order extending all deadlines due to the disaster. Lawyers in your area should know. If you can't find that out, or if the Court did not issue such an order, you must meet the deadline, but amongst your options for meeting... Read more »

I won a judgment in a small claim court. However, the defendant refuses to pay. What I can do? The defendant has a real estate property, but she put an enhanced life estate deed after she was notified of my intentions to sue her.

Many such debtors will not comply with the disclosure demand, in... Read more »
To protect yourself from being deposed, you (or your attorney) would need to file a motion for protective order and set the motion for hearing. However, under most circumstances, there is no legal basis on which the Court may grant a motion to have no deposition at any time. You didn't... Read more »
I was served for deposition upon arrival on the set date i was informed that it was cancelled i requested the attorney to email me a notice of cancellation for my records now i received a rescheduling subpoena through standard mail is that legally binding or are they supposed to serve me again
No, because they know you received the service; they do not have to re-serve you.
Strong suggestion: DO NOT let yourself get angry or upset with the lawyers who want to depose you;
doing so will not help you in any way--and may make this life-experience more unpleasant than it is.
I was sued by a landlord for breaking a lease. I didn’t make it to court. They added a other $15k for things that I didnt even do. A judgement was made against me because I didnt show or try to fight. A writ of execution resulted in the sheriff taking my car and selling it. It only paid $400... Read more »

She took a loan out from a high interest loan company. She refuses to give me any details. The loan payback is now up to &10,000. She also put her car up as collateral. They have taken advantage of her disability. We live in Florida. What are the ADA laws against this?
The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) has nothing to do with your wife's apparent mental condition. Nor am I aware of any other federal or state law that could help you stop your wife's uncontrollable behavior.
