I got divorced in August of 2020. We had 3 dogs while married, one of which I bought from my best friend. When my ex and I sat down to go over our belongings, and who gets to keep what, we had an agreement that she would keep two dogs, and I would keep the one I paid for. This was a verbal... View More

Filing the motion does not mean that you will automatically be awarded the dog but it will give you the opportunity to have your request reviewed by the court. Per the... View More

Probably not. There are a few limited exceptions to the Fair Housing Act but, unless one of the exceptions applies, the ESA is not considered a pet and therefore should not affect your ability to have two pets.

My dog was on his leash. The dog that attacked him was in his home,but he got out because the front door was open.

In most states the most you can get for the death of a dog is the "market value" of the dog. You may be able to get negligent infliction of emotional distress--suggest you contact a member of the Nv assn for Justice in the county where this happened--they give free consults.
What’s the best route to take to get my money back from them?

While dog sitting for a friend's dog that dog attacked my dog for no reason And my dog is now dead. Now i have a 300$ cremation bill that until paid we cannot have his remains. I Would Like this paid by the owner or the dog put down. What can be done for some kind of justice?

Unfortunately, while they should pay unlikely the law will say they had to. You knew you were sitting another dog, and you brought your dog. If your firend knew you'd bring your dog, you may have a claim.
This rule is so that they can extort money out of tenants and charge them or raise their rent. They do this every year when tenants get their energy assistance money. They try to take is from them. There are numerous trailers without the required fence and some use boards and and wood fencing.

The landlord controls the terms. They can say no pets., They can say no pets unless they are in a stainless steel enclosure. They can say what they want. Don't like it--move.
I was coming back to my stairs after walk the child ran in between me and my staircase

If the dog isn't under control yes; if it was on a lead, you tightened up when child approached and the child thrust itself at the dog, no. But it's on you to control your dog at all times.And control means that--if it can bite anyone, it's you, not someone else.

It depends on what type of dog insurance you are looking to obtain. The requirements for "paperwork" will depend on the policies and procedures of the insurance company. There are many loopholes for denying coverage for dog bite incidents. Make sure that you understand the policy that... View More
