If I were you, I'd ask what they would like to speak to you about. Maybe you were listed as a witness or potential witness to something, even if you know nothing about whatever they're looking into. But another scenario is that, for some reason, you are a crime suspect, such as where... View More

If you are seeking advice about your situation though not yet charged with anything, call criminal defense attorneys in your area, and you will... View More

Sure anyone can sue anyone else at any time for anything--including this situation.
But I don't recommend trying it without a lawyer.

Hire a lawyer to investigate this case and advise you on what to do.

The common areas are designated by the plat of the community and the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. The board has discretion on how to spend HOA funds to maintain common areas. I am not sure what you mean by the last part of your statement "have used the bill only... View More

Until you know whether she actually has it there isn't much you can do. And after, you can take him to court for violating parental responsibility.

Yes, it is possible. The State rarely gets assets to an estate. One thing that would be done in a probate with only distant and remote heirs would be the affidavit of heirs. If an intestate decedent has no living spouse, children, parents, or siblings, intestacy laws provide mechanisms to determine... View More
