Fence laws are very particular, and I don't know what your jurisdiction is or what its laws regarding property lines are, so I'll keep this pretty general. You're not "ceding your land to him" if you construct your own fence. Your using your own land to build a fence. It's not as good an...

Your parents (or you) could be liable for the cost of removing the home and whatever fees are outstanding on the space in the park. I guess if they don't pay, the park owner could sue them, probably in small claims. If the mobile could be sold, whatever they might owe could come out of the...

"How a mortgage can be divided" is between you and the bank. Usually you would both be joint signatories of the mortgage. However you want to work out payments is between you and your boyfriend. I'm not sure what you mean by "protect yourselves" - what specifically are you concerned about...

Do you have a question? My suggestion would be to consult an estates attorney in your jurisdiction. I don't know what Oregon's intestacy laws are, but I suspect your stepfather is not entitled to the entire estate. He may not have the right to administer the estate either, and you could...

When a judgment is executed against you, certain possessions are exempt. As far as I'm aware, your car is not exempt just because it has payments left. But it may be exempt under the laws of your state because you are allowed to keep a car. I am doubtful that you will be able to keep both...

If you never had title for it, it doesn't belong to you and you can't sell it. Without knowing more about the transaction (why wasn't it titled to you when you purchased? was there a mortage? what payment arrangements did you have?) it is impossible to say more. Usually the property would be...

What do the papers you signed say about it? And what is your jurisdiction? You might consider posting this in the landlord/tenant forum as well. It's not really a small claims matter.

What is the lien for? Is it a valid claim? Are the mortgage company and the bank the same entity?

She has no intention of taking responsibility. File a police report. Sallie Mae won't take you seriously until you do.

OK, so they're nuts. I'm with the good Professor: don't engage, say as little as possible.

Reasonable wear and tear is expected on cars. You might be liable for anything over and above normal depreciation, but it would be unreasonable for him to expect it back in showroom condition. I don't think you need to have it detailed in the first place. If you want to give it back to him...

You can't make them stop. At some point their demands might rise to the level of harassment, but it is nowhere near it yet. If they want to throw away money on a lawyer chasing non-existent problems, that is their prerogative. They're free to send you letters, and you're free to do what you...

It's not clear what happened here. Was the event in fact cancelled? Or did she simply want to do it on different terms (i.e. with 4 less servers)? What the legal consequences are depends to a large extent on your contract. Did the contract say anything about the number of servers? Did it...

You can reply with "irrelevant", but it may not be an effective reply. What makes you think the questions are in fact irrelevant? If they have to do with your alleged debt, then they are quite possibly *not* irrelevant. If you don't answer, the creditor might apply for a court order...

J/k about the cell :)

Reasonable people can disagree. And that's how things wind up in court. :)

Is that "original tooth" picture with a lumineer, or without? I imagine you might have a tough time proving actual damages. You got a new cover on your tooth, which is exactly what you were going to get anyways. You might have a claim for false advertising. I'd consult with a local attorney.

Possibly. They could ask you for the money, and I suppose they could always try suing you for it. I don't like their chances, but you are deriving some benefit from it. Why not simply give the cell phone back to them?

Are they just handing over account numbers and records, or names too? Frankly I wouldn't worry about it either way, but I would be more concerned if your name was put out there. You might try posting this in one of the criminal law forums to get an answer from the wiser heads there.

Sure you can dispute the credit card charges. Talk to your court clerk. What you probably need to do is have the lawyer's bill "taxed" (or whatever the equivalent procedure is in your jurisdiction - where they evaluate what the lawyer did and what it is worth). If he did absolutely bubkus...
