Suppose I have an employment contract that says I have to give 30 days notice before resigning. Could my employer really force me to work against my will for 30 days? Could I be sued for not fulfilling the 30 day notice requirement?

Theoretically, yes, although that is generally not how it happens. Once you give notice, they will generally ask you to leave shortly after that. The notice period rarely ever comes into play.

Office to have it transferred they told me that the previous owner filed for a lost/duplicate title and that the title I have is not good. Is that perjury on the previous owner because he filed for a lost title after selling the boat?

Perjury is false sworn testimony. This is fraud and you have been defrauded by the seller.

They cannot sell without your signature. However, if you refuse to cooperate, they can bring a partition action against you to force a sale, and that will be very expensive, and the court fees and costs will come off the top or might even possibly be charged to you.
The seller waited until Friday evening to inform everyone that they do not have the money they are required to bring to closing and are considerably short (more than $10,000.00) on having what they need. I am thousands of dollars in at this point. I have been maintaining the property since we both... View More
