I own a rental duplex with a person who is supposed to be following a signed mediated agreement. She is not following it and now it appears she is pocketing rental income that is supposed to be put into a joint account between us. There were no consequences stated in the agreement if it is...

If she is not following the agreement, you probably have to sue. That may cost money.
Contract was rewritten on May,2011 and I am not on the new contract only the 2 other parties. The first contract was due on March 1, 2011. That was not full filled so they made a loan modification referred to as exhibit B, I did not sign this and didn't agree to any of these arrangements. Thank you.

It would be best to have an attorney. Whatever you do, do not miss court. If you don't show up, the court will hear the case with no one to give your side, which typically leads to a judgment against you.
now they want the difference back and I cant pay it all and I'm really worried I have kids and a lot going on I don't know what to do

Sounds like you owe them the money, but you can verify with a local lawyer.

It's hard to say without knowing the subject and anticipated problems and what the client expects of the attorney. Lawyers set their own rates, and what will be deemed reasonable can often seem excessive to the client. A thorough review of a 65 page agreement, and case law relevant to... View More

If not, did you discuss the fact that money would be laid out to purchase materials with customer? Did you have... View More
can the phrase "in writing" be construed to mean writing via modes of electronic communication, e.g. email? or does it necessarily have to mean via an enforceable document?
answered on Jan 5, 2015
E-mail and electronic signatures could be considered writing, and are being so considered with more and more frequency. Generally, however, the parties do have to assent to the use of electronic writing.
Hello I bought an item off someone and now they want it back. I got him to sign a make shift document with a copy of his id, price of the transaction, name of item, date with his signature. Are there any laws that makes me give his item back, or any legal things that I should know about?
answered on Dec 15, 2014
Unless your contract called for some kind of return policy, or the transaction was highly questionable, there is no legal basis to force you to return the item. Keep this in mind, a contract can be entirely oral. If you and I are talking and I say "hey, I really like that watch," and then... View More
I'm in Ohio and had an ambiguous land contract with the home owners, so we redid the contract with lawyers involved and there is a $750 discrepancy between the two contracts. Does this error make the contract voidable?
