He's my ex. I have never missed a payment. His reasoning is that he doesn't wanna deal with me anymore. His name isn't on my title or registration. He said he has rights to my car and is going to have it towed to his house. We broke up in March and have been completely fine up until last night.

Ex what? Ex boyfriend? If the car is not subject to a division of property in a divorce, and if only your name is on the vehicle title, and his name is not, then he has no rights to your car at all. Tell him if he has it towed, you will sue him for the towing, and report it to the police as car... View More

My children's dad and I are splitting up and he said I could stay here till my place was ready, it's not ready cause there is no running water. I still take care of my 3 children daily and he said he can get a 3 day eviction notice on me! Can he do that
answered on Nov 20, 2017
Don't be intimidated by such threats. Even if he did give a 3 day notice, if you didn't leave in 3 days, then he would still have to file an eviction action, and the court would schedule an eviction hearing for a week or so later, and if it ordered an eviction, typically would give a few...

They then issued a thirty day and then filed before the thirty day was up saying the original 3 day from before was still valid. Is this correct? And do I have any grounds considering no one in the house signed the lease
answered on Nov 8, 2017
Without a valid written lease, you are on a month-to-month lease which can be terminated by either party at the end of any month by giving 30 days advance notice. If tenant is not out by the 1st, then landlord gives a 3 day notice, and if tenant is not out in 3 days, landlord can file an eviction... View More
The notice was given due to a breach in the rules although I don't believe it was a serious breach I don't know that I'm able to challenge it though I have not found a new apartment and they're telling me I have to move now

They do not have to issue a new thirty day notice but if you have stayed beyond the end of the 30 day period they will have to issue a three day notice to begin the eviction process. If they accept rent after the 3 day notice it invalidates the 3 day notice.

You should consult an attorney. You should definitely not ignore. You may want to consult your divorce attorney. Your divorce decree may discuss who is responsible for the debt. The divorce decree will have no impact or effect upon the Plaintiff/ creditor, but if your wife was to be responsible... View More

There really isn't a legal solution to your problem. You could contact the landlord. But if the place is dirty, landlord could evict both of you. But then you could move elsewhere without the roommate. Or you could ask landlord to let you out of the lease. Or you could just move out, but... View More

Destroying ornamental trees can result in treble damages. Depending on how large your tree is, the cost to replace the tree could be quite expensive. IN Ohio small claims monetary jurisdiction is $6,000.00.
Im good with following it and all absolutely no contact with the other party. I want it behind me.

Often the civil order is as far as it goes. Police and prosecutors are not involved in the civil process in most cases, and they are the ones who might pursue a criminal charge. If the matter was also reported to the police, charges may be filed.

Ask him to send you a list of what he wants. Put those things in a box. Take photos of the items that you put in the box. Ship the box to him or put the box outside your place, and tell him they are available for him to pick-up. After that, block him from your Facebook, and if he continues to... View More

Did they evict you already? If so, then you could have filed a counter claim in that action. If not, then you could claim retaliation. Use the Find a Lawyer tab and consult a local litigation attorney who can review your situation and advise you about possible claims against the landlord.

In most leases, all tenants usually are all fully liable for the total rent, not just their own share, and the landlord can sue any one or all of them for the full amount owed, and collect from whichever tenant has money or is easiest to find. It doesn't matter if some tenants quit paying... View More

If he owns the house, you could look up the land transfer records I suppose. But, you don't really need a name just info that will help the police find him, which you have plenty. Lots of police reports are filed without the name of the perpetrator. After all, most people don't know who robbed them.
She used to help me with bills. I am now two parents behind on my mortgage and do not know where to turn or what to do. Is it possible to have the garnishment stopped or lowered?
answered on Jul 7, 2017
In order to stop the garnishment you may want to consult a bankruptcy attorney about having the debt discharged. On the mortgage you can request assistance from your lender by requesting a loan modification application.
