On the personal property she took, you can sue in General Sessions for an Action To Recover Personal Property or for Conversion. Suit for an equitable lien on the car in Chancery is doubtful. Consult with a local attorney for advice. There may be other ways to gain leverage over her.

TN's Homestead Exemption has been upgraded and is now worth claiming. There are other Exemptions you will want to utilize also. However your SSI could be a problem. Hire a competent TN attorney to advise about asset protection before a Deed is executed for you.
I received a letter in the mail with due date and I’m wondering if they have a right to take my house if I can’t pay by the due date?

Usually the HOA has the power to record a lien and then execute upon the property if you do not pay in full. It is a serious matter which you should have known prior to buying such a residence. Almost never is the debt against the owner, just the property.

Request, in writing, an itemized time statement. If it is not provided contact the State Bar and look into fee arbitration or small claims court.

If it is a Civil Warrant for General Sessions Court, then a VOP is not an issue. However once a Judgment for money is entered, post-judgment asset discovery is a possibility where contempt of Court is a possibility. Nonpayment of Court Costs can affect your Licenses.

It likely has to do with title to property.
For example, if she was awarded a motor vehicle in your divorce decree but the title registration was not changed before she moved, she might have recorded the decree in Texas so she could register the motor vehicle in her sole name in Texas.

That is not employment related, but organizations can govern themselves. If some organization guideline or handbook rule has been violated, then the offended member/former member can assert his rights under those rules. But Tennessee Law rarely applies, and Court action rarely interferes.

Tennessee is a terminable at will State, so any reason or no reason is sufficient.
me from account. I Had made deposit of $30,000 on construction start. Then she removed my name from account when Balance of account was $197,000. Total build amount was $110,000. She stole my money! Can I Sue her?
answered on Mar 3, 2023
You can sue her for conversion, unjust enrichment, etc. However she can claim you gave the money to her when you opened the joint account. You might be able to claim a Resulting Trust with good evidence, and then file a Notice Lis Pendens on the title.

The criminal offense we call theft in Tennessee can be prosecuted by your county district attorney. You will want to reach out to that office to move forward.

Libel is 1 year and Slander is 6 months.
I was fired from a local company and the reason was they found out I was in recovery and said via text “we can’t have you come back with your history of drug abuse. We are afraid you’ll steal”. I have asked this question multiple time and can’t get a response. Do I have any legal action?
answered on Dec 6, 2022
Unless there is a contract, all TN employment is terminable at will of the employer. No action exists.

Creditors can argue it was a necessity, or that you cosigned. If sued, hire an attorney to defend you. This happens alot, and they will wear you out in Court until you finally try it.

File a Detainer Warrant now at General Sessions Court. I would forget about rent and sue for possession only, unless you really think you can collect. Service/Posting is Notice To Quit.

Sure. Attorneys will often send demand letters. Use the search function to find a local construction attorney to help you out.
