    Civil Suit against my Husband?

    Even if it is, there is nothing they can do. Next time they call get their information and send them a letter not to call you again. There are lots of sample letters on the web. Even if they do sue you it is past the Statute of Limitations and that is a complete defense but you must timely...

    Deed restrictions

    Probably the only way to find out is to take any citation you receive to circuit court and let a judge decide. This is usually a political decision so talk to your councilman.

    Being shut out by seller/contractor - what to do?

    Yes, an attorney would have told you not to release the money or to write dual checks for the work done on your home. Does your state have a contractor's licensing board? If so, start with a complaint to them. Then check with the tax office to see if the contractor owns any property in the...

    New Wife Has Old Debt

    I'm not sure she needs an attorney unless she plans on filing for bankruptcy. My suggestion is to have her get a copy of her credit report and start there. You can also contact the city to see if there is anything outstanding and get the records from the doctor/hospital. Sounds like you need...

    plumbing easement

    I fail to see how they can hold you responsible for maintenance of their sewer lines but you could be liable if you damage them. The county can condemn an easement but they cannot otherwise "make" you give one to your neighbors. You need an attorney to look over what they propose to be sure you...

    neighbor moved proptery markers

    You need to have a surveyor come out and replace the markers. If you are correct, notify him by CRRR to remove his fence that is on your property and give him a time limit. If he does not comply, take down his fence with the least amount of damage and store the materials on his side of the line...

    When is my Mortgage Payment LATE?

    Usually it is not a courtesy but mandated by statute that they have to give you a grace period. The letter usually goes out before the 16th and is standard. If you have proof and they charge you the fee, send them a letter with a copy and request it be removed.
