    Buying from Builder

    I don't know the specifics of Georgia law. Why do you have the impression the builder would have to repair it since you've been there less than one year? Granted, you bought it from the builder, but it may not have been "new" when you bought it and might not be under warranty.

    Annulment possible??

    Incurable physical incapacity is grounds for annulment in California. If it is curable, but he refuses to take the cure, I guess that's an open question. I think you would have a good shot. Getting an annulment is almost universally more difficult than getting a divorce. In your case...

    Advice with small claims

    Assuming you are successful in proving he caused the damages, you should at least be entitled to the cost of the repair. I can imagine the first mechanic might fight that by adducing his own estimate from someone else, so you might want to get another independent opinion. Whether you can claim...

    Sue customer for not releasing the storage unit

    I would echo what tpajet says, and I'd also like to know what the letter says. I'm also curious how you, representing the business, do not know what remedies you have available when a customer defaults on a rental payment.

    Advice with small claims

    You have a chance. You might have problems proving some elements of your claim - for example, if you are claiming damages for exposure to the elements by your windows being left down. Get the mechanic's report from Canadian tire detailing what was done wrong by the former mechanic. I would...

    Land contract issues

    Depending on the laws and rules of civil procedure in your jurisdiction, you might have a couple strategies open to you. For instance, you might be able to send her a registered letter tendering the purchase price and stating that something like you are ready, willing, and able to complete the...

    Consumer Law, Warranties release of liens

    Does he say why his bank wants that? What you sign doesn't bind them. But what you sign may make you liable for any claim they bring against the owner. It all depends on the terms of the waiver. Sure, consider it. But don't, unless you have other guarantees of getting paid. You could still...

    How to amend a divorce decree?

    What you need to do doesn't sound like it should be difficult - certainly not if your ex consentsd. But it depends on Texas' family law and rules of procedure, and no-one here is an expert in those. You could try mashing up the online forms to make them applicable, or ask the court clerk...

    Adult survivor of parental alienation

    As far as I know, it would be breaking new legal ground for you to sue your own mother for alienating your father from you. Not to say you would necessarily lose - conceivably, you might make a case along the lines of negligent or fraudulent misrepresentation. But I think it would be a very...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Breeder misrepresented the facts of dog

    It sounds like you have a pretty good case of misrepresentation or breach of contract. A "no refund" policy doesn't override those. If you can't get her to agree to take the dog back, worst case scenario is you could attempt to sue her and you stand a reasonable chance of success. However, I...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Locked Out Of Storage Shed Before Payment Was Due

    So... payment is due on the 19th - in other words, not yet. And they've locked you out of the storage locker in advance nonetheless. Sounds like a clear breach of contract to me. Tell them they can either let you into your storage locker in accordance with your contract or you'll sue. It'll...

    Is estate responsible for mortgage

    No, it is not required to pay the mortgage. But there may be repercussions if it does not - the property might get foreclosed on, or the other named person might pay the mortgage and have a claim against the estate for that amount. You might want to consider life insurance on the mortgage.

    renting property

    How do you differentiate between renting and leasing? You can probably do it. You run the risk that the other owner might show up and either demand half the rental income, or terminate the lease (on the grounds that it was not yours to rent out in the first place) and you might then face some...

    Lien filed in retaliation for Emergency Order of Protection

    You do not need an attorney to serve him. A bailiff or process server would probably serve him. But you probably need an attorney to draw up the proper papers he must be served with. That is probably only half-correct. He probably didn't need to show proof to file a claim of lien. But he'll...

    Weapons, Guns, Firearms Self Defense?

    Agreed with tpajet about the second amendment. As far as the 14th: Because equality is not blind to circumstance. It's equal because it applies to all persons equally. If person A can claim justifiable homicide in situation X, then person B can claim justifiable homicide in situation X...

    double ownership/1 owner

    Depends on your jurisdiction. If he can't be located to sign a quit claim deed to you, you'll probably need to apply to court for a declaration that you are the sole owner and to have his name struck from title. You should talk to a local real estate lawyer.

    need help with will

    If she dies when? Usually those sorts of provisions are time-limited, and if she survives 3 months or whatever, it's all hers, no strings attached. What do you mean? Why would you get a new will? There's only one will. If what you said above is accurate, then no. The mother inherited the...

    letting someone open card under my name

    A good claim for what? He probably owes you the outstanding credit balances, assuming you can prove that he incurred all the charges. How do you plan to collect from him?

    Lien filed in retaliation for Emergency Order of Protection

    Yes, but exactly how you do this depends on your local property laws and rules of civil procedure, which is why lawyers are typically involved. You'll need to serve him with notice to prove his claim of lien. He'll have a certain period of time to sue to enforce it, and if he doesn't, you can...

    Quit Claim Deed after judgment

    Where does the judgment say that? It says you are to remain t-in-c's until the child is of the age of 18. It doesn't say anything about what happens after that, much less that you must sell the property. Looks to me like you're free to keep it or dispose of it as you wish.
