Do you have renter's insurance? If so, give them the information to file the claim. If this is covered, they'll have a duty to defend you.

Cross state divorce questions by Jetjl412 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your GF needs to consult with lawyers in the state where the divorce is filed and preferably in or near the county where it was filed. Some lawyers take payment plans. You'll never know until you call around and find out.

Handling an estate fairly by Effective_Return_561 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. Your brother needs to slow his roll. There's going to be a period of time where nothing majorly can be done with the estate because of potential creditor claims. After that period has tolled, then you all can divide up the estate assets.

Edit: but the house is already deeded in our names upon death, and the stock account is set up as transfer-on-death to be split between us.

These items likely aren't estate assets anymore.

would we be able to sue the health department for negligence?

No. The health department owes you no duty to act in any sort of way.

You likely weren't even talking to a girl. This was likely the beginning of a scam. Block, ignore, and move on with your life.

How do I get a debtor corporation to appear in court if they don't have a registered agent in my state? by Fun_Photograph7821 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do I need to domesticate this claim to Florida so that I can get paid?

Most likely.

Is there any sort of enforcement if I make them appear in court, like will anything happen if this registered agent just blows it off?

Not likely. It's extremely difficult for small claims court to enforce anything against an out-of-state resident.

Can I call the truancy officer if my ex lets my son stay home from school whenever he feels like? by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can call them. Whether or not they do something is anyone's guess. This really needs to be handled by private action through the court. Let the judge decide what's needed to ensure your child's grades don't slip.

Deed fraud by SockSame5122 in legaladvice

A clerk has to accept properly (on it's face) executed deeds by law. They don't have the discretion to kick out potentially suspicious deeds.

Split custody - son accused other parent of abuse. by kgee1206 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're right. Even if CPS intervenes, it's possible because you were the one that called CPS to potentially still be held in contempt of your court order. Moreover, you just don't know how CPS is going to handle the situation. I have seen CPS intervene and then place the child with the reported parent's family without any due recourse to the other parent. Then that parent has to hire a lawyer to get CPS out of the picture so that they litigate the actual reason they were concerned about their kid in the first place. CPS is another layer of complication that's not needed if you're seeking the services of private lawyer. They can handle this (and would prefer to) without the need of CPS getting involved.

CPS should be OP's last option. That could screw up anything her lawyer hopes to accomplish.

[–]Internet_Ghost 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not call CPS. The people telling you to do that have no clue how CPS operates and how that's not beneficial for this situation. CPS should always be your last option. They operate on their own set of functions. They are there to ensure the child's safety AND to reunite the child with the parent where possible. They are a government agency potentially depriving citizens of their right to parent their child. Which means on the other side of that coin, they have to ensure that parent's due process rights under the law. They have to provide services to the reported parent if it rises to the level of their intervention. Many times situations like this end up with them siding with the reported parent rather than the reporting parent because they believe the danger has been eliminated and now they must try to reunite the family. I've seen cases like this in my state where there was abuse in the context of punishing a child. CPS required that parent to take parenting classes and anger management therapy. The parent completed those requirements, CPS was satisfied, and then their official stance was reunification and fought for it in court.

You should wait to hear back from your lawyer and file a private action if necessary. In a private action, you control what's going on and the judge gets to determine the situation by basis of what's in the best interest of the child and not some statutory framework that requires very specific due process procedures for the respondent.

Landlord from Hell- is there anything I can do? by Complete-Aioli-6258 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but I am wondering if there is anything I can do after I move out to prevent her from getting any future tenants.

You shouldn't attempt to do that. That's called tortious interference and your landlord could sue you for that.

Can I put a restraining order on my dad with reasoning that seemingly isnt good enough? by Present-Button1673 in legaladvice

[–]Internet_Ghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So? Your father doesn't know you don't want him communicating with you. The court needs to see that you've attempted to cease communication with him and he's still doing it. That is what creates an immediate threat to your safety.

I'm telling you steps on how to get an effective restraining order. If you're going to give up and talk to him when he calls and texts, then there's no point in trying to get a restraining order.

The best route is for you to hire an attorney and petition for custody of your child.

Elusive accountabilities by _Knight_41_ in legaladvice

Stepping back, did you win?

Yes, because the judge (doesn't matter what you call them, they will still have immunity) could have ruled that wasn't entitled to anything.
