Your lease will specify whether these late fees are permitted and who is responsible for maintaining the facilities.
Payment on invoices. Repeatedly, I have been paid late and they have refused to pay late fees. My payment contact has repeatedly lied about payment being "in the mail" so I have suspended service until payment is received . Can they fire me for this and do I have rights to fight that?

Unless there was a written contract provision preventing it, the company can terminate the contract at any time. You are not required to continue to perform new services. Even if the contract is terminated, you will be owed for work already performed. You'll have to decide if you want to... View More 
My friend is loaning me money via a home equity loan to pay off my student loans (~$85k) that I have been paying on for 10 years. We have a contract that is written up that I will pay him $2000 a month (what I pay now) over the next 4 years (which is way shorter than the current payoff approach),... View More

There is no "friends" exception to contract. You received value and promised in return to repay. That suffices as consideration for an enforceable contact.
I've been in a relationship with a female whom has a compulsion to use force when triggered. When arguments heat up to diminishing returns, I attempt to leave. She is not large enough to cause physical harm. These instances are about 12 times over 2 years. We currently live separately. She... View More

That wouldn't be a contract. A contract is a legally binding agreement to do or not do something. She hasn't agreed to do anything nor have you. She is just affirming that she gets physical or has in the past. An affidavit is a sworn statement.
Regardless, you are taking on a... View More

Contracts do not have to be in writing or in any specific form (generally) to be enforceable. Without more information, simply the fact that it is a informal contract does not make it invalid.
Two people have agreed that one person owes the other person money for personal reasons. The amount is in the thousands. If one person prints a sentence stating they will pay it and sign it (no notary) is it enforceable? The other person (person receiving money) refused to also sign. This is in... View More

Generally contracts do not have to be notarized or in writing to be valid contracts. There are some exceptions, but this kind of contract can be oral. The statement by the person loaning the money is simply evidence of intent on the loaning parties' part, but not binding on the other party.... View More

Whether or not you can sue will depend on the exact language of the lease. Leases almost always have a termination clause in them allowing the landlord to terminate the lease upon some or no reasons with proper notice. If the lease says that termination can only be had upon mutual agreement, then... View More

Virtually everything you are saying is wrong-ish. First, you are not 'legally separated' at least not in North Carolina. In NC there is no such thing or distinction as legally separated - one is simply separated or they are not. When it comes to divorce, in NC you do not need your... View More

If the home is in NC you likely can not sell it without his consent. If you do manage to sell it without him knowing about it, you likely won't like the out come if he ever finds out. Best of luck.

Generally, contracts do not have to be notarized to be valid. There are a few types that are, like a real estate contract, but not this type of business contract.

The terms of the written contract will govern what is allowed and what is not allowed. Also if the contract references any other guidelines, those additional terms would be incorporated into the contract. For instance if the contract references some general guidelines for the event, etc. The... View More

If you can locate the buyers, the parties can sign a document that will terminate the contract and any rights the buyers might have to the property. There is not enough detail in your question to determine the current status of the contract. Likely the contract is in breach and you could sue to... View More

You can make such a contract but it would not be legal or enforceable. Basically, that would be an attempt to contract to break the law.

No, you can't be forced to sign a separation agreement but you can't prevent a divorce either at least not legally.
answered on Sep 7, 2016
More than likely, the answer is yes. More information would be needed, but it would generally boil down the the facts. If the contract has been performed by both parties, there really is no question who entered into the contract.
dealership knew of the lien, they failed to verify the payoff until Thursday. Now they telling me I have to bring the car back today. I have had the car for over 30days.

answered on Sep 6, 2016
It depends on the written terms of your contract with the dealership. If the contract limits the amount they will pay or makes the payment contingent on any factors, then you may be out of luck and have to return the car. However, if the contract states that they will pay the lien, without any... View More

No. Motor vehicles do not fall within the type of contract that can be cancelled. There are some types of contracts that can be cancelled, typically within three days, but motor vehicles are not included. Your contract is already in effect and you are bound to make the payment and take possession.
