I think you have all the information you're going to get (hopefully). Whether it's enough to charge him is a decision the prosecutor will make after you report this to the police. A question will be whether this "show" was intentional or not. There is a difference between being... Read more »

Very sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. I would suggest that you video him in the act then call the police.

Are there any case law for me to ask for a non-compete or moratorium for both of us not to be able to use the existing customers of the business for a certain amount of time?
answered on May 26, 2023
Good question. These items that you wish to have, such as a non-compete or a non-circumvention agreement, are documents that should really be agreed to up front at the time you and your partner did your initial business deal - so PRIOR to the actual dissolution of a company and not during a...

Adding to Mr. Selik's answer: sounds like you have a contract dispute (e.g. you paid X, expected Y services, and received Z services instead) with the attorney, which is a civil matter properly addressed through a lawsuit or AGC action.

Typically yes, that would be the case. If his name is on the deed, then he owns the house, and so the property would not be subject to probate.

Depends on what you mean by "signing over rights". Typically the only thing that's signed between unwed parents is an Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP). If your son signed such a document, he is acknowledging paternity - that's it. By default, the mother has custody, and no... Read more »

Being on the mortgage and being on a deed are two different things. If your name is on the deed, then I think you can be reasonably assured of not losing the home to your sister.
