Regarding the Covid issue, possibly, if it was foreseeable that you'd likely contract Covid if forced to remove your mask, and there was no rational justification to force mask removal. That may or may not be proveable. Regarding removal from the shelter, their reasons would have to be... View More

In the case you are describing, you probably have two years from the date of the first harassment within which to bring legal action. It is suggested that you prepare a chronology of the events, explaining who, what, when, where, and how the harassment took place, and supplement that with all the... View More

Whether or not it is worth it to sue or accept the $900.00 settlement offer will depend on the specifics of your case and your personal circumstances.
If you feel that you have a strong case and that you could potentially recover more than $900.00 by suing the cruise line or Hilton Grand... View More

If it is a crime you are alleging she committed, then you can certainly contact the police and make a report; it's likely they will say this is a family / civil matter and stay out of it.
Is there a current PPO? You need to file an objection and have a hearing about that. Until then,... View More

Someone had been watching our dog as we looked for a place to live. Among other things, the pandemic prolonged the time it took to do so (4 months).

Unfortunately, it is not as easy as merely requesting a civil standby. I have not filed a case like this personally, but I believe you should be able to file a case in justice court instead of at the superior court level since all you are seeking is possession of the property (dog). The fees will... View More

Yes, a tenant can be evicted. The CDC imposed a moratorium, but only for non-payment of rent - not for other reasons. That expires on June 30,2021, but some courts have ruled that it is unconstitutional. So tenants can be evicted. Check with your local court.

The likelihood to force anyone to do anything these days is slim to none. You may be able to file a formal complaint against the landlord with the Office of the Virginia Attorney General in Richmond, VA.

If you have primary custody, you can claim the children as dependents. You can't do anything about the COVID relief money. If your ex owes you child support since September, you can file a contempt for that.

The first step is to ask the other side to agree to a later date. If they agree, the problem is solved.
If they don't agree, and the other side goes ahead and notices the hearing, your husband would need to file a motion for continuance (postponement) of the hearing, and, if... View More
