There are no laws specific to the factual issue, and no one here is going to research case authority ("precedent"). An agreement can be revised any time the parties to the agreement want to revise it. A custody/visitation order can be revised when warranted by changed circumstances. As for...

Did he ask you to go online in advance of his meeting with his lawyer? Why didn't he post here himself? Is this a first meeting with the lawyer? Has he actually retained the lawyer, or are they meeting to decide if they will form a lawyer/client relationship? He should expect to have a...

What rights would those be? What sort of "fight" has been occurring? Please explain what "trying to sue" means. So you're saying that she believes that, because you have more money than she does, and for no other reason, you ought to pay her attorneys' fees? Sorry, but I don't believe that...

Let's put it this way: if there's real substance to the allegations you made in this thread, your brother would be justified seeking a change to the existing custody/visitation order. I noticed that you ignored my question about whether your brother has an attorney. If he doesn't, this is not...

So...a petition for dissolution of marriage has actually been filed? Does your brother have an attorney? I assume that this means that the kids spend approximately 35% of their time with your brother. If so, is this pursuant to a court order, or is it just the way things have worked out...

Without knowing anything about the nature or contents of the contract, it is impossible to say with certainty, but the involvement of a third-party agent would not, by itself, give the other party an automatic right to cancel the contract. How could we possibly know? You've provided zero...

The first thing this question makes me wonder is why a painter is on your roof. In any event, if you hire a painter and he falls off your roof, your potential liability would depend on the reason(s) why the painter fell. If he fell for reasons other than your negligence, you should have no...

Sorry, but this question makes zero sense. There's a trust and a trustee, but you don't appear to be the trustee, so what is your connection to the trust and the trustee? What does "the trusts family" mean? Even if I assume you meant "trust's" a trust isn't a thing that can have a family...

Well...what she actually will get is something only someone with a working crystal ball can tell you. The notion that she might be legally entitled to that is, however, patently absurd. So...there are - 2 cars - An RV - A truck - A trailer of some sort Correct? In any event, the answer to...

So...the condo is jointly owned by four people: 1. Your father 2. Your sister 3. Your father's girlfriend 4. Your father's girlfriend's daughter Correct? Please explain what the acronym "JOWRTS" means. I've never seen that acronym. It's similar to "JTWRS," which means joint tenancy with the...

OK. So talk to the other drive's insurer and ask for that. If you get it, great. If not, then you get to choose between the following: 1. Deal with it. 2. Rent a comparable vehicle and sue the other driver to recover the cost. Just keep in mind that the American rule will not allow you to...

I'm aware. No need to repeat things you already wrote. However, I'll repeat what I wrote because it doesn't seem to have registered the first time. You writing that you "declined getting a rental car from [your] insurance company" doesn't tell me what sorts of coverage you have. I have now...

I suggest you do it. If you don't have rental car coverage, then your insurer owes you nothing with respect to any rental vehicle. If you only have standard rental car coverage, then you're only entitled to a standard passenger vehicle. Standard rental car coverage is $30-45 per day for 30...

The amount of insurance any given person should carry depends primarily on the extent of one's assets. Also note that, regardless of policy limits, an auto liability insurer owes a duty to its insured to prevent exposure in excess of policy limits, if at all possible.

You have a claim against the other driver (or against your own collision coverage) for the lesser of the van's fair market value at the time of the accident or the cost of repairs. You also have a claim for a rental car while you wait for your vehicle to be repaired. Your own insurer is...

Why is the word "wrote" in quotation marks? By any chance were these written instructions signed? If so, it's possible that the written instructions will constitute a holographic will. I strongly suggest you retain the services of an attorney to review the situation and advise you.

What exactly does this mean? Did you have a partnership or some other legal business entity? Were you an owner of the entity? If not, what was the nature of your investment? What sort of documentation exists relating to the investment? I don't understand your question. If the guy owes you...

You told us earlier in the post, that you're designated as the pay-on-death beneficiary. If that's still the case, then the money will be yours. That doesn't change just because you were subsequently named conservator.

The word "inherit" typically refers to a probate estate, but you titled the thread as relating to a trust. My guess is that you and your siblings are beneficiaries of a trust that owns (real?) property and bank accounts. But maybe you mean something else. If you clarify the situation, we...

You guys are correct. I edited my prior post.
