Probably, creating a family trust is the best option to suit your needs.
The debt they amen to me this summer to talk about it can I still sue since they still acknowledge and promise still to pay me back
Yes. The statute of limitations is six years. But, an oral acknowledgment of the debt does not re-set the statute. Must be written.
I went there to bring her home because she's a minor there. Police & all, she's not rational & the mom there never advised she was there. If 18 is a minor why couldn't she come with me as I'm her mother?
While I can not comment on Nebraska law, in NY the age of majority is 18 and a NY court will not take a case incolving the custody of an 18 year old.
She hosts young children for early life education through a variety of programs. Whenever it rains, it pours through the ceiling with video proof.

What does the lease say? Usually, leaks, even in commercial property are the responsibility of the Landlord.
So, your options are probably:
1. Repair and deduct,
2. Sue for breach of contract, or
3. Declare the lease breached and leave.
How can they still file a option months later? Can only guess related to Covid?

Due to the PAUSE orders by Gov. Cuomo, the time to file a motion to reargue was tolled. Thus, based on your post, it appears timely. However, if there is no stay, and you have the right to enter judgment, you can do so.
Do I need a lawyer or just pay the fee?
What do you do? Reach out to an attorney for a quick consult. Many attorneys would offer you a free initial consult to outline your options and their fees.

Can HPD make me pay relocation expenses for illegal tenants tTenants without lease or any kind of agreement to occupy the property building
Most law offices, including mine, have programs that provide case law. However, what you're asking is for someone to spend time researching, refining, and providing that to you. I'm not sure if this is the right forum for that. Although, perhaps one of my colleagues would be happy to... Read more »
I called the police to report domestic dispute, but she refused to file a report. I didn’t know about the holes at the time. Can I call the police back, and press destruction of property charges?
If the boyfriend is damaging your property, there is nothing keeping you from calling to report a crime. Law enforcement will decide whether they'll arrest, cite, or charge the individual in question.
I had a 3rd surgery, knowing the procedures however it’s during Covid and my husband was not with me to help. I forgot to leave my rings at home. I was given bags for my stuff and put my rings in those because that’s all I was offered. I was not told there was a safe at all! After surgery, the... Read more »
You can sue. Also, you might want to call a media outlet. These stories are big in COVID times. That might give you leverage.
are more restrictive. Will the local law have to be rewritten and can all the extra restrictions be added right back in?
As a general rule, state laws generally supersede local laws. There are settings where local laws are sometimes stricter than state or federal laws. In terms of local laws being rewritten, that could be up to city officials, based on peoples' feedback. It would be best to consult with an... Read more »

It could depend on whether the two of you entered into a valid contract. If you satisfied the elements of a contract, in terms of an offer, acceptance and consideration, and there is proof of that, that could memorialize a done deal.

Your question is a bit vague - if you're asking whether the causes of action in the original state case can be revisited, the answer is "maybe." It would depend among other things on whether the evidence of the "lies" is new or known at the time of the original case, or... Read more »
If you were served with a summons and complaint, you will need to submit responding papers within a specified time depending upon how you were served. Suggest retaining an attorney to do so on your behalf and to attempt to negotiate a resolution on your behalf.
i had signed the contract before covid 19. i got loan commitment. Now sellers are keeping making excuse not to close as unable to find apartment. Can i sue them for specific performance? court are not working properly. Does it take a long time before you see a judge. How does it work?
Do you have a lawyer? Prior to suing you need to send a "time is of the essence letter" to the seller. Then you can file a complaint. You see a judge quickly as you file an order to show cause and the courts are hearing motions online.
Any decision can be appealed. Where to appeal depends on which court decided it. There are very strict time deadlines to appeal.

In theory you can be sued. Anyone can sue anyone. If you are, send it to your insurance company. If you have no insurance, you will likely not be sued.
Thanks in advance for your time.
