There hasn't been any signs of neglect or abuse found in my house, even though my mother tried to kick me out. The case is supposed to be closed, obviously, but they won't close it.
Apparently, they have been following me around and they tapped into my phone when it was taken away... Read more »
They are there to protect you so there isn't much you can do. However, if you have proof that they tapped your phone without a court order that can be reported to the police as that is a crime. In addition you can get a lawyer to sue on your behalf to stop all phone intercepts.
Seeking legal advise but months later there is still no response on here.

to contravene (contradict) Mr. Smith’s client.
What motion might Mr. Smith make to the judge? Explain what that motion is in detail, and explain when counsel may raise such a motion. What other motions are similar? How are they utilized? Why does the court entertain such motions?
It would be appropriate to file a motion for directed verdict on liability at the close of evidence, assuming Mr. Smith proved all the elements of his case and the defense did not attack his client’s credibility or present any evidence to counter the elements of liability. Most courts would... Read more »

I applied for a gun permit I got denied I wrote an appeal letter they denied that I feel like it is unjust.
This is a very specialized area of law. I would recommend doing a google search for a gun permit lawyer near you.

Yes, it's harassment. But if that's the only statement at issue, it's probably not to establish a pattern of discriminatory conduct.
The loan providers say I'm responsible and it doesn't matter what my divorce papers say. Is this true I will need to civil sue the loan holder I co-signed for?
You are still liable directly to the loan provider, bc the loan provider was not a party to your settlement agreement with your spouse. If your spouse is not paying the loan, you should make a motion in your divorce case to hold your spouse in contempt for not paying as agreed and ask the court to... Read more »
This is something that an attorney who practices in Puerto Rico would know better than a New York attorney. You could repost under Puerto Rico (look for the link for other states), and one of the attorneys in that section could have better chances of seeing your question. Good luck
