We (My wife and I) purchased a vehicle from a dealer and when we bought it the check engine light was not on. We bought the vehicle in TN and drove it to Ga. Before purchasing the vehicle we told the salesmen we needed emissions done in our state. He told us that her does not due emissions. We got... Read more »
The GA Lemon Law will not help you here. The GA law is available only on brand new vehicles. Also, as you bought the vehicle in TN, you must look to the TN law(s) for your remedy if one is available.
A contract was signed and broken. A new contract was made, and implemented with automatic payments, then I received a summons.
Generally, you must file an answer with the court within 30 days of when the summons and complaint were officially served on you. As far as what to include in your answer, that is certainly too complicated for an online Q&A forum. Retain a litigation attorney and they will advise you on how... Read more »
We won't be able to assist you until you provide the complete statute citation. It should read as the following (but with numbers of course).

I WOULD ASSUME FOREVER. IF THE LICENSE IS SUSPENDED, YOU WILL HAVE TO APPLY FOR A NEW ONE. WHENEVER YOU APPLY, THE ARREARAGE WILL COME UP AND LIKELY DENY YOUR APPLICATION. PLEASE NOTE THOUGH, I AM PRETTY MUCH GUESSING AS TO YOUR ACTUAL SITUATION. TO PROTECT YOURSELF, YOU SHOULD MEET WITH AN... Read more »
AQHA (American Quarter Horse Association) transfer papers were signed by parent & filled out by the "new owner"; although, the AQHA would not accept the transfer of ownership since the transfer papers were not signed by the owner, who is 10 years old. More details can be provided, if needed.
IN TRUTH, THE 10 YEAR OLD IS A MINOR CHILD. MINORS BY LAW CANNOT CONTRACT WITH OTHER PARTIES, CANNOT OWN REAL PROPERTY (PER SE IN THEIR NAME), ETC. THIS ISSUE RECENTLY CAME UP IN ONE OF MY DIVORCE CASES; WHAT TO DO WITH "THE HORSE SITUATION?" THE AQHA IS ALLOWED TO MAKE THEIR OWN... Read more »

I got ran over by a garbage truck on December 11 2019 while working. I hired a worker’s compensation lawyer. I had to quit my job because of my living condition. I had no family members where I was living at so I moved. Workers compensation felt like I wasn’t entitled to any financial benefits... Read more »
Probably not; this was a judgment call by your attorney using the facts as presented at that time. Also, comp is a "no fault" system, and the driver's being high isn't relevant (assuming the driver was a co-worker and not a 3rd party).
My hubby showed for the TPR hearing, I did Not. Apparently, our rights WERE terminated. He didn't sign any paperwork, and, as I stated, I did not even go. Can our babies be adopted out without even our Knowledge? Also, can we adopt our own kids?!
If your rights were terminated, the children can be adopted with no notice to you.

Your new manager may be correct. Make sure that you are reading the 2021 version of the OFFICIAL CODE OF GEORGIA ANNOTATED. If you remain uncertain after reading the newest language, you should probably meet with a business law attorney who can assist you in understanding your legal obligations.
Ex is suing me for items of furniture that belongs to me claiming it belongs to him and for items that have never been in my home and even a cat that he took me to adopt because I rejected him the other day when he came back to my house and I told him to leave or I would call the police
Most people in your situation meet with an attorney who can defend them against the lawsuit.
Okay? Did you have a question to ask us?
My employee and myself were 3 days into a 4 day paint job. When at 3 am the 3rd day we ran out of paint. The client told us not to come back. Never paying us a cent.
Great question. So long as there was a valid contract and you substantially performed under those contractual obligations, you will likely be entitled to payment and or damages for client not paying you.
Depending on the underlying facts, you could be entitled to damages as well as... Read more »

A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. From the description that's posted, it isn't fully clear what you signed at the hospital while hooked up to IVs. But depending on the ownership of the truck and the circumstances of the accident,... Read more »

His supervisor in the plant he was assigned instantly disliked him. He caused several small drama filled instances for him, but his... Read more »
It's "random" in the sense that it was conducted unannounced in advance. You did not tell us what your brother's result should have been. If he didn't refuse, he must have participated in the screen. If he participated, then what was his result?
I was charged with aggravated assault on an officer and locked up for 3 months until the charges were dismissed due to lack of prosecution
Can you? Sure. Would you win? Not likely. Still, speak with an attorney if you believe you need to pursue it.

Restraining him won't resolve the lien. Meet with an attorney to discuss the actual situation and allow the attorney to ask questions. Only in this way will you find a way through your problems.
Xbox is not allowed at my house. I gave my son everyday for a week to give it back or get rid of it. He refused and 1st said he bought it then it was given to him. I contacted the police they said I had the right to get rid of anything that I feel is not good for my child. When he plays he gets... Read more »
It seems like the child gave your child a gift and you threw it away. However, hiring an attorney is more expensive than an xbox, so if you want the problem over and behind you, buy a new xbox and give it to the child's mother.
