  • I recently went to a lab to have my annual labs drawn. I have been to this lab multiple times in the past few years. This last time, I was taken aside and presented with a bill for $ 980. dollars. from 2011 like 7 years ago. I have lived in my home for 24 years and I was never sent a bill for any labs costs. I did have health insurance at the time which should have covered it. What is the statute of limitations on medical bills?
  • My wife's neice has died. She has a 4 year old daughter that is staying with her great grandma. The father, the grandma and other family members are not eligible for custody. We are the only family capable of providing a bright future for the young girl. Do we have a chance at custody? Or should we just let the events take place.
  • Can landlord charge early lease termination fee after I've been evicted? I had 1 month left on my lease before eviction, rent is cheaper than the early termination fee & apartment was rented about 3 weeks after I moved out.
  • PP = Parenting Plan CS = Child Support My PP/CS was based on my son living with my ex and being with me on weekends, holidays & school breaks. I agreed to pay her triple CS for 24 months. My PP/CS has yet to be signed off by a judge. My ex has now left my son in my care mon-fri. & attending school in my area. Can I request to rescind the PP /CS agreement based on the fact she is not following the parenting plan submitted? She is of the opinion that since it is essentially a 50/50 parenting plan she is still entitled to the triple CS amount even though she is not following the PP plan.
  • My severely disabled (non verbal, non ambulatory) 20 year old son’s health status has declined to the point that his mom and I have agreed not to take any extraordinary intervention. He is being followed at home by Hospice of the Valley. We are being challenged by the treating hospitals to produce a medical POA to recovery his medical records. Given his current medical status the possibility of him surviving more than a couple of weeks are doubtful. Is there an easy and inexpensive way to get guardianship of him and should we?
