Are there certain time limits that affect when I am able to request certain accounting records?
Beneficiary of what document? Will? Trust? Bank Account?
If the former two, you have the right to request that of the Trustee/Personal Representative
If the later, you should be dealing directly with the bank, and you don't need an 'accounting' so much as you need to... Read more »
Boyfriend was charged with assault to great bodily harm Less then death or strangulation. 2 count of domestic violence, and interfering with communication causing harm or death.

You are in a tough spot. This stopped being between just you and your boyfriend the minute the police were called.
It may be helpful in your analysis of what to do to know that in domestic violence cases, Michigan law (MCL 768.27c) allows the prosecutor to present your statements made to... Read more »
I'm involved in a case where a federal judge talked to plaintiff counsel in private during a hearing and never spoke to myself. I represent myself in the case. This infraction happened twice and after these meeting motions was granted against me. I have on record of last hearing where Judge... Read more »
No real answer here other than to say you really should be consulting with an attorney versed in federal court procedure, and at least consult with an attorney about helping you draft an appeal. It is unclear from your question how the judge spoke with plaintiff's counsel ex parte; it almost... Read more »
Hi,
In a hypothetical situation- if someone has a boyfriend who has been stalking them and on camera admitted to stealing their naked photos what can legally be done?
Additionally, what if proof is founded that he has been selling these photos online for money? what can happen to him?
Probably a good first step would be to seek a PPO; immediate safety from stalking is paramount. Second, civil liability for the pictures will depend on the circumstances those pictures were taken. If they were taken during good times (i.e. some consent to the pictures is stated or implied),... Read more »
She recorded my son screaming and admitted it in a note she left me
Generally you may record anything you can see or hear from whereever you are legally present. She if your neighbor can hear your son scream from her house, then I think she may record without your consent. Now, if she needed to place some fancy equipment (e.g. a bug) to hear, that's a...

Yesterday , Police officers and a young man came to my door asking for my sister to give up her baby and follow the rules of her court order. She had every right to refuse and then they left. About a hour later they showed back up at our home, unlocked our door , and once we opened it barged in our... Read more »
Sounds like this young man is a CPS worker with a removal order signed by a judge. I would hope that the police verified that before assisting. Just because the order may be "old" doesn't mean it's not valid.
To answer your specific question, you likely won't have a... Read more »
My grandmother may pass before the check is deposited into her account how can my mom or uncles save it before it goes back to insurance
The question is not altogether clear to me, but it sounds like the insurance payment is property of your grandmother's estate, and that a probate case needs to be commenced in order to deal with the payment. An attorney with the whole picture will be able to guide you through the probate... Read more »
My son was born in California in 1998 and a court order was put in place for the father to pay each month. He rarely paid and traveled to Mexico and different states to avoid paying. He put his assests in other peoples names. I live in Michigan and they said they cannot help me because my son is... Read more »
It sounds like the attorneys are telling you the right answers, albeit bifurcated. Do you ever make the California court order a Michigan order? If not, Michigan has nothing to do with enforcement of a California court order, and so the Michigan attorneys are correct that they can't help. The... Read more »
I bid as an owner occupant, through the listing agent, on a HUD property. I chose to be the back up offer and should have had my offer accepted. I was never informed as I should have been by HUD rules. An investor's bid (lower than mine) was then immediately accepted. I only discovered... Read more »
If the proper bidding procedure was not followed then it needs to be brought to the attention of the HUD officials and the broker needs to make sure they notify HUD in WRITING.
Good luck,

I loaned someone $3,000 in 2017. We wrote a contract for this person to repay me within 5 years. I did not require a monthly minimum payment. I did, however, include 7.5% monthly interest (which I later found out is an illegal amount. Monthly interest must be much lower). I wrote the contract in... Read more »
You may have a claim. You would quite likely need to file in the state where the contract was entered.
please start from morning and end at night .

I was charged with stalking a Superintendent of a public school. Pled no contest due to mistreatment in jail. I was wondering if this is even a fair charge or if I am protected due to free speech? I have a civil case against the Superintendent and if I win will I be able to introduce that as new... Read more »
Yes, you certainly can be charged criminally for stalking public figures. It happens with movie stars as well as, apparently, local superintendents. Being a public figure does not remove all notions of privacy. Even constitutional rights have limits. You could show up at school board meetings and... Read more »

Yes, the attorney can obtain a writ of eviction. Your appeal was dismissed, and so the judgment issued in January remains valid. The original date to obtain a writ of eviction is simply a waiting period; in other words, the landlord must wait until that date to obtain a writ of eviction, but he or... Read more »
You should contact the realtor's broker to register you complaint. That's where you should start. The board of real estate has a grievance procedure as well. If all else fails, you might want to file a complaint with the Michigan's professional licensing division - LARA.

If they are unlawfully using force against you...and you better be 110% right about that before you "defend" yourself...and even then, you will likely not be around for a judge to say "you're right".
