QUESTIONS

  • I was served my notices and went to court with my landlord. She got a judgement against me for unpaid rent and was granted a writ of restitution to be received on 9-1-09. On the morning of 9-1-09 when I returned to the property to finish moving, she had locked the gates. My dogs were still there and I had not been served the writ by the constable. Turns out that she did not received the writ until 10:18 that morning but the gates were locked at 8:48 a.m. Does the writ have to be served or is it just given to the landlord and they can do as they please?
  • I am a 17 year old mother of a 2 month old and do not have a job. Could i apply for food stamps or cash assistance?
  • Is it considered abandonment of my children if I moved out of the home and moved maybe 4 blocks away? I left my husband but am still with my kids everyday.
  • I rent a apartment that has utility's included. Summer has hit and we have access to change or apartment temperature. It has been 92 degrees in my apartment. And have asked if can turn it down. They want to comply and now want evict me. Lost for words. How can this be.im up on my rent never missed a payment. What do do.
  • Question: I'm not divorced yet but I am separated. Can I change my last name to my maiden last name before getting divorced? How much would this cost me?
  • I just received a summons from my spouse for a court date for divorce but I have already filled and received a court date prior to that. Is this possible?
  • My parents have passed away and in their Trust and Wills I am listed as their representative. What do I have to do in order to sell their properties?
  • I was influenced to redo a Secondary motor vehicle finance transaction. A rep from the office called and urged me to go in, cash out on my loan, and do another one. I told them I no longer own the vehicle and they said it's okay and come in anyways. I am now being sued for defaulting on the loan but I was wondering if I could fight it? The contract was signed under false pretenses.
  • My husband and I have been separated for three years. We have an adult daughter aged 23 and another who is nearly 20- she is getting married in a month. We wish to file co-petitioner divorce but do we file the packet for with children or not? She is not emancipated, but does live on her own and will be married as I said in a month.
  • If a seller provides a counteroffer on a property, does the seller have to approve the offer in writing or in a new contract?
