Four months ago I received a purchase order from my buyer for a product I provide. The product I would sell will not be due until six weeks from now. Recently, one of my employees who runs that part had major surgery and is not expected to return for several months. I have a small three man shop... Read more »
If there was no payment it was an undertaking that you would perform it. Factors not in your contemplation prohibited that. That being said, speak with a business consultant about selling what sounds like a going business.
All the best!
I have just received a letter stating that I have to appear in court for driving with a suspended license( which I did not know was suspended) I was stopped by an officer he took my license and he was the one to inform me that my license was suspended; and I informed him that I was unaware of it. I... Read more »
Typically the RMV sends the suspension notice to the license address on file. If you moved and failed to change the address, that is why you may not have been notified. Three (3) speeding tix in 2 years or any 5 moving offenses result in suspension. If you are lucky you are getting a Notice for... Read more »

If you’re able to reinstate your license and retain an attorney before going to court, you may be able to get the case dismissed fairly quickly. It may even be possible to get the case dismissed prior to arraignment, meaning that the charge would not appear on your record.
A friend was watching my dog while I was at work and walked into the store and tied him up outside and left accidentally without the dog returned a couple of hours later dog being held at store until animal control arrives owner went to store with updated license and vaccinations
Animal control should release the dog to you once you provide proof of ownership - dog license, photos, whatever you have - provided the officer believes that someone else, not you, left you dog tied for hours and that you did not neglect or abuse your dog. You should be aware that animal control... Read more »
Long story short my apt building sold and with pandemic now and everything it's been hard finding a place. One that expects pets and I can afford. But now the person who has been watching my dog is trying to steal them from me because they have grown attached and wanted their own dog now. Can... Read more »
You should ask for your dog back and find someone else if you still do not have a place. If this person refuses, you should not wait to take legal action. Dogs and other companion animals are still considered property in Massachusetts, so the person will have to return your dog to you unless the... Read more »
It's possible that you could snap up this trademark. You'll have a better chance if your description of goods or services is different from that of the previous trademark. Also check to see what similar marks are registered, such as "Wear your words," which might prevent you... Read more »
My now husband wants to adopt. Bio Father has been in and out of jail over last 10 years for years at a time. Never paid child support.. We live in Massachusetts.
I take it you have already explored whether he would voluntarily consent to adoption by stepfather? This is the easiest method to proceed. Otherwise there would need to be either a default on a petition or a trial establishing unfitness of bio father with an adjudication.
My family member is mentally ill, and I am also his representative payee. I have provided financial assistance for lodging totaling approximately 10k in smaller amounts over the course of 2 years. The money I had provided went toward keeping him from homelessness. Does this still fall under the... Read more »
Yes. You still need to disclose this under property held for others question. All of it should be disclosed as a matter of course although it should not have any negative effect on your bankruptcy.
Is there a way i can do this or get visits quick and not have to get a lawyer? Or a lawyer is necessary
There is nothing in Probate and Family Court that you absolutely need an attorney for, many people represent themselves. In your situation, you may want to speak with an attorney or even DCF (depending on why there are no visits currently) to understand what you can do to get you closer to having... Read more »
Are you pro se? Did you tell your attorney this ? A Motion to Recuse is the usual method of proceeding when there is an association between either party and the Judge or an appearance of conflict even it is a good idea for the Judge to recuse.
We own a house in PR. I have my youngest son (16) living w/me at my sister’s. I had to abandon my apartment. I can’t afford rent on my own. Can I file in MA vs PR. He left in Oct 2020.
It sounds like you were both living in Massachusetts until October 2020 when husband left, so yes and Massachusetts has jurisdiction over the child who lives here and has lived here for 6 months or more.
We are going to different colleges in different states and will probably be doing long-distance for a while. Will this marriage be legitimate in Massachusetts? He is not American. If possible, I want him to live with me in America permanently.
Yes. You will have to show evidence of good faith marriage as well as an explanation as to why you are currently living apart.
I share joint 50/50 legal custody of my 5 yr old child w my ex. Our agreement was filed w the court in 2017.

You should request a therapist referral from the provider who is leaving for a successor therapist. Both parents should have input for the new provider. If the other parent refuses and there is a proceeding pending or if there is not a proceeding one would need to be brought- for Modification... Read more »

She is also dying of stage 4 cancer and is only expected to last another month or two. She has no income to pay the taxes. She has no assets, husband, or children.... Read more »
If your sister does not have any assets then there is nothing for the IRS to get. She should be eligible to be marked currently not collectible. Contact your local taxpayer advocate and ask for help. Here is the link to find your local taxpayer advocate... Read more »

Unless you have an employment contract dictating otherwise, your employer can generally add to or change your job duties at any time for any reason, as long as it not for an unlawful reason.

Me & and the mother of my child are from MA. I’ve been in Florida for 4 years. She kept my child from me for 2 years, with false restraining orders etc (which I don’t know how that’s legal). She decided to get on good terms with me when her false accusations expired. She moved down here... Read more »
It sounds like Massachusetts has a lot of contacts with the parties and the child for child support orders, although if the child was only back in Massachusetts for 2 months custodial non-monetary issues would be appropriate in Florida as the home state. Was there a paternity or Custody and Support... Read more »
I know that in the state of MA the spouse is to get everything but this has gone on long enough and we need help asap
If real estate is held in common, a petition to partition is needed. In divorce there is property division and this is a distinction. In a divorce all assets regardless of how held are considered marital property to be divided and not the sole property of a spouse until or unless the Court so... Read more »

This is a very common concern and there are definitely ways to solve this problem, but this is not a do-it-yourself project. You should hire an estate planning attorney to help you with this. The attorney will explain to you the pros and cons of the various solutions.
It is impossible to sell my house with all the heavy junks they dumped into my property. I need to sell my house.
Also sounds like a real estate trespass case.
The money is from half the equity from the sale of our house. My spouse was required to sell within 5 years. I let her live there until she retired, but it has been 15 years since the divorce. I also signed the deed over to her a few years ago. She died last year, and our children now own the... Read more »
This is really a taxation question. Waiting and not filing a Modification Agreement to change the sale date may be problematic for enforcement purposes as well. The creditor claim period is one year from the date of death also.
