QUESTIONS

  • I owe a debt to a creditor for medical expenses. The creditor has increased the debt by charging me a penalty for not paying on time. Is this legal? Are all late fees penalties?
  • where can I go to have a legal settlement document looked over before signing.
  • Can the landlord raise late fee without informing tenant?
  • We have lived in a rental since 2009. Two years ago, the house was sold to a new owner and now we have a property management company that we talk to. (Prior was family friend owner). There is a large Tree in the back yard, over 30 ft tall, that has been maintained by the previous owner personally and by some people the property management sent over three different times since taking over the property. Due to a recent storm, the tree has broken branches 20 + feet in the air. The property management company was notified and have told me its my responsibilty. Is this true or not?
  • What per cent of your income is the base for child support for one child?
  • My kids mother left the state and left our child with me now she wants to take her from me what rights do u have as the father when she left her in the first place ?
  • Are you still liable for child support when an application for name change is granted?
  • I work in the medical field. Is a pregnant minor considered emancipated when obtaining medical consent? For example, for labor epidural placement? I didn't realize this varied state to state.
  • how would I go about signing my parental rights to my mother in law when I have an open cps case?
  • I filed for ch. 7 bankruptcy and my debts were discharged on June 2011. To this date I'm badly behind on my house payments, and my lender offers me a reduced monthly payment of $350. The problem is that my lender does not want to make any promises in writing and does not give me straight answers on what happens if I keep my end of the deal. I'm affraid my lender will simply foreclose when it may fit its interest, disregard of my needs. Also, it is wise to enter into any deals post bankruptcy if my debts are discharded already and thus, uncollectable? Thanks!
