If the automobile is titled in your name only you have a legal right to go get it, unless you were supposed to transfer it to him in the divorce.

A signed release is always your best option. Depending on your location, you could be dealing with privacy laws AND publicity laws, and a failure to obtain a signed release could expose you to serious civil liability. Given the purported nature of your videos, I would imagine participants would... Read more »

Sounds like 2 things crossed in the mail. If the plaintff filed bankruptcy, meaning there is a case number from the bankruptcy court, the case in civil court cannot proceed.
Even if the plaintiff did not file bankruptcy, you want the case dismissed because you are the defendant.
My sister passed 9/2021. I paid all expenses, equaling over $2,000, because my BIL did not have the funds. He picked up her remains since he was the husband. Now he is refusing to allow us access to her children and my mom has always wanted some of her ashes. Would I be able to be awarded... Read more »

No, sorry. He is entitled by law to her ashes because he was married to your sister at the time of her death. If you can prove that the money you paid was a loan, and not a gift, you may be able to prevail in a small claims lawsuit against him. You'd have to sue him in Florida. Be forewarned... Read more »

If you sue them for the $1,000 they are trying to keep, replevin would not make any sense, you would not be out they money you paid them. You might want to talk to an attorney to see if any "other damages" would be practical.

Start by calling the police for your locality. They should be interested in investigating your matter. Also, the Fla. Attorney General's Office's Fraud Hotline 1-866-966-7226 possibly could be interested. I think this issue can be solved through law enforcement, but if you must end up... Read more »

ALWAYS. Generally, see Florida Statutes Chapter 95 for statute of limitations periods applicable to various types of suits. Search online for F.S. Ch. 95.

It is not exactly clear what has happened or will happen when you state in your question "sell or gift an inherited house" since inherited is past tense, does not clearly indicate if ownership has been accepted/acknowledged.
I also do not understand what you mean by the $1,000... Read more »

It is not clear whether your civil dispute has resulted in a judgment against you. If so, and the testimony of the witness may have been dispositive, you would file a motion to set aside the judgment and re-open the case. If trial is still pending, you might want to consider a motion to exclude... Read more »

If the person of mediator should be set by the court, is it necessary to reasonably object to the candidates proposed by the other party in the case, or is it enough to simply declare that we do not agree with them, and judge will not appoint that mediator?
answered on Aug 4, 2022
If the Court has not already appointed a particular mediator and has left the choice of mediator to the parties, the usual course of action is that each side proposes names of mediators to each other. Each side is free to reject the other side's proposals, and, if they wish, they can propose... Read more »

In some states, the person can sign a form that can transfer that responsibility to someone else. Is there someone else the friend trusts to complete this? Depending on the resources available within the jail, it may be difficult to complete some of the tasks required.
