They can sue you if you don’t pay and you can sue them. Anyone can sue anyone. The better questions concern this risks and costs of litigation. I suggest you meet with a local attorney, preferably with consumer law experience. Ask about the Merchandising Practices Act.

Some contracts are required to be in writing, such as a contract to purchase real estate. The contract you describe is an oral one and that is okay; however, you would need to prove the terms.

jor plumbing problems and the gas has been turned off because of gas leaks. I think the owner should pay for these major problems. Do we have any legal rights?

You retained an inspector to guard against issues such as these and he or she seemingly did not perform the job that he or she was hired to do. So consider litigation if the inspector fails to make good on his or her mistakes.

Not without having the repairs done first and then suing him, in my opinion.
The original child support only had medical. My wife requested the state of Missouri to modify the original order (May 2013) and add financial support. That process took over 2 years and the state did not back-date it through the whole time. The child is 11 and has received 1 payment of $400 her... View More

You would seek to enforce the child support judgment in behalf of the mother. This doesn't require a new lawsuit, small claims or otherwise. And small claims is not the appropriate procedure to collect child support in any case.
What needs to happen is that the mother needs to levy... View More
