    Am I obligated to give up this dog

    The issue of ownership is always a question of competing claims. Who has the best claim to the dog? Arguaby, it's the original shelter from which it was obtained under false pretences. If anything, the fact that you lied to the original shelter to get the dog in the first place means your...

    monument for my father in law

    Whether you have the right to erect a gravestone depends on a number of factors. Who has the deed to the plot? What do the cemetery rules state? And what jurisdiction is this?

    What proof do I need for money owed me?

    A verbal agreement is a contract, the only difficulty is proving it. It sounds like you will be able to at least show the court that you did some work and were supposed to be paid. The question will be, how much? And the judge will have to consider your word against whatever the contractor...

    Am I obligated to give up this dog

    What's riding on this? At worst, the animal rescue you relinquished the dog to could try to sue you to enforce the surrender form. Considering the dog was yours, and you want to keep it, and the whole raison d'etre of dog rescue organizations is to place unwanted dogs with owners that will...

    credit cards f

    Tough spot for you to be in. The credit card company won't believe you unless you're prepared to put your money where your mouth is, so to speak. If you want to make this stick, you need to file fraud charges against your son.

    small claims judgement against business is being ignored.

    I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but you have the right to free speech and assembly. I would guess that as long as you don't interfere with the business or with the person's going into or out of it, you are free to picket it.

    sued for non payment

    Why does he believe that? Depends on what the court thinks the agreement between the two of you is. Sounds like it's his word against yours. Bring your sales records of past years and your sales records of jobs he actually worked on to show that he was not a major part of your business and...

    Consumer Law, Warranties statute of frauds/New York

    The SOF doesn't cover agreements for the performance of services. Even if it did, the SOF is probably inapplicable to your situation. The SOF is invoked when you argue the alleged contract was unenforceable because it failed to comply with the legal requirement of being in writing. It's...

    pre marriage

    What's your jurisdiction? In all likelihood, he can probably simply return the marriage certificate un-certified by the JP, or just rip it up. I'm not sure what you mean by "legally write to the girl", but he doesn't need to do that. It would undoubtedly be a good thing to do so she's not...

    hospital debt

    Employer put stop payment on severance check

    I don't know anything about the specifics of the agreement pursuant to which the cheque was drawn, or indeed whether there was an agreement. And the OP is (wisely, I might say) probably long gone from this thread. But I DO know that you can't just blithely stop payment on a cheque. Correct...

    You might not need an attorney, but it will certainly help. Not being familiar with the specifics of creditors liens in TX, I can offer only general suggestions. If your husband has no interest in the land you currently live on, the credit card company is not entitled to a lien on your that...
