A Utah attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. If they paid for the phone, the agreement is probably under their name, together with control over the phone. Good luck

This is something that a tax law attorney should answer. There is a section here, "Tax Law." Not all questions are ultimately answered, but you could try adding "Tax Law" to your headings. You posted three weeks ago and it's possible your question was overlooked in the general category. Good luck

I am sorry for your experience. That must be super frustrating.

You will first need to look at the agreement you signed with the handyman. If this guy was a one-man-band, then its likely that he didn't have you sign a contract. Just because it was an "oral" agreement...

Animals are considered property. She now has the animal, so I think that it would be hard to take it away from her. If you still had the dog you could have claimed the puppy "abandoned" and went through the process of changing ownership. Unfortunately, I don't think you can do much at this point.
