You might need a lawyer; however, there could be other options depending on your particular facts. A lawyer who bills by the hour might take on your case. If the lawyer can send a letter and get payment or obtain and enforce a judgment without spending a lot of time on your case, hiring an hourly... View More

An Oklahoma attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It's difficult to predict what they would do. Don't take it upon yourself to pay what you feel you can. That could lead to a default or other complications. Instead, consider one of these options. You... View More

It depends. For example, the parties to a contract are allowed to choose to apply the law of a chosen state to the interpretation and enforcement of their own contract as long as that state has some minimal connection to the contract. For example, if the fitness company is a Georgia company, the... View More

You should have the tenant send a notice of termination of the lease to the landlord, and then sign a new lease without you as a guarantor or co-signer
I have been in touch with the manager and he is still refusing.

It depends on the terms of your employment agreement. Some provide for commissions on sales made before the termination of employment but earned after termination of employment.

A dementia diagnosis alone is not determinative. The dementia could be mild or it could be moderate or severe. If mild, probably the individual has the legal capacity to revoke a POA and grant a new one to someone else. If severe, probably not.
