You should be able to get DOS to issue a new title certificate in the purchaser's name. Ask your County Clerk first, then call Nashville. Once issued send a copy to your agent, and try to deliver the title to the owner. Also that is probably a lease with option to purchase transaction,... View More

In my opinion no... Besides blowing the SOL, there are practical matters to consider. Witnesses will be nonexistent now. And most importantly, the real and personal property is almost assuredly gone by now. I recommend you do a title search on any real property to see if any title problems can... View More

Apparently you knew of the suit against you. It was your responsibility to check with the Clerk to find out when Court was. You could file a motion to set aside the Default Judgment, but I do not recommend it.

You opened up the can by filing Probate. Hire a competent attorney to close this Estate. If no claims are filed within 1 year of death, then it will be great. But you have a fiduciary duty to contact all known creditors, and you can be sued yourself. Administrative expenses should be paid... View More

The Detainer Warrant is a notice to quit. So go to Court. You might need a lawyer since apparently you are being sued for rent and other monies.
Can the mother and husband request child support from the biological father?
answered on Aug 31, 2020
Child support is calculated based on income, custody, and other factors and compared to the child support guidelines. Adultery is not one of those factors.
I just hired my lawyer a couple weeks ago. He has been trying to reach the other parties lawyer since then to get it changed to a date that he will be available but has gotten no response. Im afraid I will have to represent myself in depositions tomorrow even when I have hired an attorney.
answered on Aug 25, 2020
Your own lawyer is really the only one who could advise here, but it is frustrating to see someone not knowing what is going on with their deposition three hours before the close of business on the preceding day. Hopefully you have worked this out by now, but if not, keep trying to reach your... View More

Go to Court to mitigate the damages or even get it dismissed for lack of proving the Case. A Judgment can be executed upon in many different ways. Personal Property is usually levied on first. Real Property Executions on a General Sessions Warrant require some special steps for the creditor.... View More
He has not lived there in over a month, and has never paid a bill there, and they were not married. We are pretty sure he broke in and took some of her property. What legal recourse do we have if any? Police told us "that's technically still his house." So nothing they could do. Also... View More

The breeder knew about the illness but didn’t tell us about the illness.
answered on Jul 18, 2020
It usually depends on the language in the purchase contract, but if the contract doesn’t cover this sort of illness or you can prove the breeder knew about the illness, you Can sue for your financial losses and vet bills.
My husband and I have been separated for over a year. We are planning on filing in the next month or two. The business is not up and running, nor will it be for at least another six months, but since I am starting it before our divorce, I worry he may try and claim part of my income.

Generally speaking, in the State of Tennessee, marital property is divided, but separate property is not. All of the property is identified, classified and valued. Tennessee is an “equitable distribution” state, which means that once the property is classified as marital or separate, the... View More

I am unaware of any ethics complaint that may be beneficial for you here. However, you may have a civil cause of action against this mayor for defamation. I recommend you speak with an experienced defamation attorney to determine if you have a case. For more information on defamation law in... View More

I would retain a local attorney soon to file suit against the former owner of the camper. You can also call the police and make a charge of harassment or theft; however, I would let your attorney know before you do that.

I'm now liable for their rent, but the landlord will not provide me with their address so that I can serve them papers. How can I get the landlord to provide me with their address.
answered on Jun 24, 2020
If a couple co-signed on a Lease with you, you should know their addresses. The Landlord does not have to give them to you. If you can't find them, hire a private detective to find them.

There is no 30 day rule. I assume you are talking about an Appeal or setting aside the MDA. You were supposed to inform the Spouse of the Termination Of Insurance. In effect, you have lied to the Court. The Spouse has grounds to Set Aside the Divorce, possibly up to 1 year from Judgment.

It will take at least 45 days to file a Detainer, serve you, and get the necessary Judgments to remove you. Hopefully you can take the new leasehold in 2 to 3 months.

Very sorry for your loss. However most of what I assume might be potential defendants had their liability barred by the Statute of Limitations long ago.
