A non-attorney GAL filed a motion which incorrectly refers to a child victim in my case as the offender. She has made no effort to correct it. I was afraid to push the issue before her evaluation was finished. Now that it is, I want the record to be corrected. How do I ask the court for this?
Apparently my camera captured illegal activity on it. When we went to check, the video card was gone. We thought the criminals had taken it.
Recently we found out it was shown in court at one of their hearings.

We need a little more information to answer your question. First, it is possible it was the defense, not the government that brought the video card in as evidence. Just like the government, the defense has an obligation to share any evidence related to an evident (except statements of the... View More

If I understand your question, your father named you the beneficiary on a life insurance policy, but left everything to you sister in his will. A life insurance policy is not an asset of the estate and instead is a contract between the Insurance company, the owner of the policy and the beneficiary... View More

What would be the process to evict him? His ex is causing issues. They are both smoking inside the house after being asked multiple times to stop. This is a non-smoking lease.

Some courts only allow landlord to file an eviction. If roommate is violating a term of the lease, talk to the landlord about it.

If you still get no response, you could reach out to Ohio attorneys for more meaningful... View More

Most private organizations can discriminate as to their membership, so I am not certain how you would have been "unlawfully targeted and expelled". Please provide additional information

If I return to work still in pain what are my options? Also, someone who isn’t HR told me not to return to work until she contacts me.

You may want to consider contacting a workers compensation attorney. You should be able to file a claim, and then return to work when you are actually able, not because you are forced back.

A landlord can terminate any month to month tenant by giving 30 days notice. If the landlord gave you that notice, then the eviction could have been proper. You must retain a lawyer to check. But even if you could get this eviction changed, the landlord could immediately give you the notice and... View More
He refuses to leave and is NOT on the lease. Can I evict him myself? The clerk of courts told me I can print off a 30 day eviction and serve him . id rather not get my landlord invovled

Some courts allow a tenant to evict an occupant, other courts require the landlord to evict. Check with your local court or use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney to advise you. Court personnel might not answer questions or give correct answers.
she says she doesn't want him here and that she'll give me a great recommendation. Is that legal? I've just signed a one-year lease with her.

It depends on what your lease says about having other occupants stay in your premises. If she tries to evict you, then use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local real estate attorney who handles eviction matters to review the situation and advise you. Note that an eviction is a permanent public... View More

No, that does not give an option to break the lease. Tenant is responsible for the rent for the full term of the lease until its expiration. If rent is not paid, landlord can sue for the rent, minus any rent landlord collects from a new tenant.

You can try to work out a settlement with the plaintiff to make payment and get a dismissal. But get it in writing in a settlement agreement signed by plaintiff. Use the Find a Lawyer tab to retain a local attorney.
He wants to get the rest of his stuff and I was wondering what the time limit was on that
answered on Sep 17, 2020
There is no time limit. If you don't let him get his things, he could file a police report against you for keeping it, and you could be charged. Or he could sue you. You could claim he abandoned it, and the court would then decide.
Will a simple statement (without a list of transactions) work? Or do they need the original agreement and list of transactions? This is for an unpaid credit card debt that was charged off and sold to Midland Credit. (Assume you're trying to fight it without filing bankruptcy please.)

If you filed for bankruptcy after the debt was incurred and you received a discharge, all that they need is your case number.
