    Unless there is more to this story you're not telling us, you're not obligated to pay more than you agreed to. Tell him to go ahead and sue you if he thinks otherwise.

    Assault & Battery 14 Year Old Child Physically Assaulted By His Teacher

    Well what do you know. I spend so much time asking people what their jurisdiction is, I should pay attention when they actually give it like they're supposed to. :)

    Will I be arrested?

    Where do you want to return to? And is there anything more to this story? Most civilised countries don't arrest people simply for owing money.

    Builder changing contract. My options?

    Sounds like a material change to me, and if so you may be entitled to cancel the contract and get your deposit back. Talk to a lawyer. If you want to fight for your house design, ask them when this neighbour's house was ordered, and if it was after yours, tell them that you have a valid...

    Medical Malpractice labor and delivery malpractice question

    Harm is usually a pre-requisite for negligence. The point of an award of damages is to compensate you for the harm you suffered. The fact that your wife has recovered well does not mean she wasn't harmed. She may have suffered physical and emotional trauma. She is still anemic, which has...

    They won't salt!

    He being the manager? Maybe. But it's not his policy. Maybe. Or maybe you don't even need to tell him for him to be liable. The park probably has some duty to ensure people using its roads are reasonably safe. That probably involves making sure they're not dangerously icy during the...

    What is an acceptable range for ankle injury?

    It's impossible to give an estimate. It varies with severity, it varies by jurisdiction. Talk to a personal injury attorney.

    Separated, how to divide property

    You file for divorce, and you sue for division of your marital assets. Possibly, you get a lawyer to help you figure out what you are entitled to. And you get your own cell phone.

    Petition response requires lawyer?

    Yes. You can hire a lawyer at any time and have them added to the record on your behalf. Absolutely, but it shouldn't be done in a "gotcha" kind of way. Not necessarily. It's not uncommon for people to file lawsuits with the court, sit on them for a while, and serve them to the other party...

    Corporate Law Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

    I don't know what penalties there may be either - I would imagine a fine of some insignificant amount. You only need to hire a lawyer if you think you can't get them to buy back your shares without involving one. I don't know if you're at that point yet. You could always walk down to the...

    Missapropriation of Funds

    About the advancement... Back up a second, I was confused about the parties and who was buying these things. It doesn't make sense for her to charge your husband's share of the estate for things his father bought. :)

    International paternity obligations

    She can go to court in Canada and get an order for child support. Exactly what that will amount to depends on your relative incomes etc. Then she will have to enforce it against you in Montana. Exactly how she does that depends on Montana's reciprocal jurisdiction laws.

    Husband Fraud

    They're not "liable for his fraudulent activity". His fraud, his guilt. But the husband's liability for his debt to the wife and daughter, and their liability for debts to other people, are two separate issues. If they owe money to third parties, and they haven't paid those third parties...

    Need advice, teacher threatens to fail me if I bring a book to class

    What, you can't read one book in class and your book elsewhere? That's an interesting ultimatum to give a teacher. That sounds like hyperbole. You want to get a grade in English 12, read a book that's on the curriculum while you're in the class. You're free to read Sword of Truth on your...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Contract agreement between artist and biz entity

    It is impossible to give good answers to these questions without knowing the nature of the business, the terms of the agreement, and a million other things. What kind of "standard contract"? Contract for what? Which agreement does it not contain the terms of - the artist's agreement with the...

    Consumer Law, Warranties Funeral Fiasco

    Depends on what the agreement is. If the siblings signed up for a whole lot of extra services, maybe they don't get the ashes until it's all complete. I'd have a close read of the contract.

    Sister holding investments

    Without a will, your inheritance is governed by the laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction. I would presume you and your siblings are all entitled to the same share. Your mother's investments form a part of the estate. If your sister who is currently the trustee of the account is squandering...
