If you are trying to ask a question about, when you move in together and things don't work out, whether you can sue for breach of contract; the answer is no. Had you been married, on the other hand, you would very well have a number of options.

The Latin phrase "pro se" is probably the term you're looking for.
I also want to know if a Learner's Permit is accepted as ID instead of a Driver's License when applying for passport.
answered on Apr 30, 2022
Yes, you need parental consent until your 18th birthday. But at that time a learner's permit will probably be an acceptable form of identification.
The marketing company did not deliver of services we paid for. Instead of staying on topic, he started insulting me to others and publically like Jezebel, a Feminist terrorist.

You might be able to sue for defamation, but keep in mind that you would have to be able to prove damages. Florida Statute 836.04 is interesting; I doubt that any prosecutions based on it are made pursuant to it, in this day and age.
I don't have a car to pay the $5 so is that the only way to get a response because it's really sad that this world has come to making a profit off of somebody else's misfortunate it's really terrible I just needed some help with my Dad's passing away it's already hard... View More

Yes, you definitely should edit this post if you want someone to respond.
Apparently, you need to pay someone $5, for some reason, but you don't have a car (or perhaps a card). Do you have an envelope and a postage stamp? A check or money order would also be a good idea instead of... View More

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for four weeks. Unfortunately, there are a number of parties involved between the bank, insurance carrier, and other possible interests, and if there was a lapse in coverage, they can repossess. It could depend on the arrangements for... View More

Florida Statute 790.25 (5) provides that
"... Notwithstanding subsection (2), it is lawful and is not a violation of s. 790.01 for a person 18 years of age or older to possess a concealed firearm or other weapon for self-defense or other lawful purpose within the interior of a private... View More

No, if as you indicate, you don't mind an injunction being issued.
I went to a retail store with a tire shop to repair/replace a tire. They recommended plugging the tire and completed the work. I was sent on my way with my toddler with me. After I got home, from an hour drive mostly interstate, I noticed markings on my tire when I was unloading the car. I... View More

You have a claim for breach of contract. All consequential losses that are foreseeable are damages that can be recovered in a contract breach case. Sue them in small claims court. It’s wise to get another expert mechanic to testify that they did poor workmanship that resulted in your damages.
I called a vet's office and at the time I made the appointment for my dog and at the moment I walked in and they asked me what he was being seen for oh, I told them I was there for a Cushing's test. I told the veterinarian three times that I wanted my dog tested for Cushing's... View More

It is unclear what you mean by "charge back". Did you pay the bill? If you didn't ask them to do anything but test the dog for that particular disease, and if they didn't do the test, simply don't pay the bill.
HOA board had the residents do a proxy vote in October, won the vote, but did nothing with it. Now 90+ days afterward are trying to say it’s still valid.
answered on Mar 6, 2022
If the proxy was valid as provided in the statutory sub-section you have cited, and was duly voted at the meeting, the measure passed at that meeting would be valid. The 90 days has nothing to do with expiration of the adopted measure; it has to do with expiration of the proxy. If, instead of... View More

A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week and time may be of the essence if this matter requires a response to a traffic citation. Ordinarily, with most intersections, it should be okay if you have the green light. But if this involves a traffic violation, then... View More

The dealer falsified your income? And you failed to inform the finance company of that falsification? No, that would not allow you to declare the purchase contract void. The finance company is a party to the contract, although apparently a victim of the dealer's fraud. So the finance... View More
He would have signed a quit claim deed. But I just want to make sure he cannot return to the home if he decides to do so.
answered on Feb 22, 2022
This is a follow-up to the question about the ex-husband who is moving to Michigan? Either have him sign the quitclaim deed or apply to the divorce court to get the decree modified to give you title.
Our HOA President ignores rules, does not consult the other Directors, does not solicit bids and hires friends and relatives. Is the Management Company obligated to tell the the BOD President that he is out of control?
answered on Feb 19, 2022
It's up to the board of directors to replace him, if the board believes what he has done is serious. What the obligation of the management company is would depend on the terms of its contract.
Ex sued for custody. I was given indigent status by the court. My lawyer filed for financial relief to which we won. The burden of payments to my lawyer are now on my ex but my lawyer just threatened me with a lien against me if I don’t pay (ex has been slow or non existent to pay). Can she do this?
answered on Feb 16, 2022
It's doubtful. An "attorney's lien" would be upon money in the attorney's possession, but if I understand your question, that is not the case. Another type of lien would be a judgment lien, but to get that your attorney would first have to sue you and record the judgment.

If its a criminal infraction (DWLS with knowledge) and you are on probation, then it will count as a violation of your probation.
If it is not a criminal infraction (DWLS without knowledge) then it is not a crime and can't violate your probation and you can't get any jail time for... View More
I got a ticket in Florida and the officer put the wrong style of vehicle on the ticket is it possible to get dismissed?
answered on Feb 8, 2022
A Florida attorney could advise best, but your question remains open a few weeks. Until you're able to arrange a consult with a local traffic ticket defense attorney if the matter remains pending, courts nationwide generally allow for correction of minor clerical errors of that type. They... View More

As far as I know, there is no statute prohibiting them from doing that.
