You actually raise a couple different issues here. 1. Can Court documents available on PACER lawfully be disclosed on social media? Yes, because they're public records, and the fact that the discloser is a lawyer who is not on your case is irrelevant. 2. Can someone lawfully make fun of you... View More
My husband is being sued by his ex-wife for non-payment of his portion of joint student loans that are part of his divorce decree of which he told her at the time he was not working when it came time for him to pay his portion and wanted to file for a deferment. Student loans show in his name only,... View More

If the divorce decree requires him to make certain payments, and if it can be proven that he failed to do that, he can be held in contempt of court. And if he is found to be in contempt of court he could be jailed. It's not clear whether the divorce decree is from Florida or Virginia.

As I understand your question, you believe that an employee of the service provider, Spectrum, furnished text messages to or from you. In order to successfully sue the company, you would have to show that disclosure occurred, the service provider authorized the employee to disclose the... View More

Defend yourself against what? You said the officers left without arresting you, and I assume you mean they also did not give you any notice to appear in court.

Nobody is required to furnish internet access, unless the requirement is specifically mentioned in the lease. You have some options, I think: pay to upgrade the condo's cabling; move; or see if you can access the internet via satellite or some other wireless method of connecting to the... View More
Can an agreement via text be used in court as a legal binding agreement?
answered on Feb 26, 2020
Usually oral agreements would be considered to be legally binding if the terms can be sufficiently proven. The statute of limitations can be different if an agreement is not in writing. While it's possible that a judge might for some reason think a text message doesn't qualify as a... View More

In Florida, you need two-party consent to record a conversation. Meaning that everyone involved in the conversation must consent to the recording.

Obviously the attorney's duties (as trustee, I assume) are not done, at least until the checks are properly written, accepted, and deposited. It looks like the attorney wants to meet with you about this, which also indicates that the matter is not over.

In general, most employment is "at will". This means that an employer doesn't need a reason to fire someone. So yes, they can terminate you even under the questionable circumstances you describe.

I don't think you need counsel yet - as you have not given the lender time to digest the information they probably just received yesterday or maybe not even until today.
But - if Carrington proceeds to foreclosure then you must seek counsel immediately. In the meantime you can ask for... View More
