What is the name of your state? Georgia I have lived in my neighborhood for the past 2 1/2 years and have been frustrated by the many rules of the homeowner's association. One such rule, as an example, is no free standing buildings are allowed. As my garage is small, I really need to have a...

What is the name of your state? GA This may be a David vs. Goliath battle that I may lose...I bought a John Deere riding lawn mower on May 23rd from Home Depot along with a bagger and a cart. I mow the lawns of a few neighbors for extra date money (I have a day job so this is something that I...

That's actually a tough question that you ask. I understand that it's a scary time for you but maybe that means that you aren't ready for marriage. Part of committing yourself to a woman is being willing to love that woman no matter what: "In sickness and in health..." Do I think it's be a...

It sounds to me like the best thing you can do for yourself and the kids is to get a job, move somewhere else (so he can't claim it's his dwelling) and forget about him. When he comes back to you law down the law of the way things have to be for you to be happy in the relationship. If he...

I understand you wanting to cover all your bases but try to understand the motivation of what is behind it: your trying to figure out the easiest way to get divorced. Are you sure you want to marry a woman where you even have to think of divorce before you're even married? Don't make the...

dbriii, Be sure to follow through on the advice to get in touch with an elder abuse lawyer. You absolutely do NOT have to take what your step-mother is trying to do. Your Dad needs you more than ever and as his health continues to go downhill he'll need you even more. It sounds like your...

So you're dating a married man? Here's the best advice anyone can give you: date someone single. I guarantee there are enough men to go around so all women can have one to themselves. With that said, depending on how long he's been married, yes, it's grounds for annullment. If he wants to...

Out of curiosity, why don't you contact your local government office (vital records dept) and ask them the best way to fix the spelling. Just tell them that in your excitement you didn't look at it close enough to realize that there was a mispelling. How they fix it depends on local laws but...

It's my understanding that everything you get while married is to be evenly divided in the case of divorce - this includes things like salary, 401(k) contributions, investment income etc...In the case of divorce, how this annuity payment is divided is partially determined by what you do with it...

Your sister is definitely in trouble...in trouble with the law I'm not sure but she's in big trouble when it comes to common sense. As far as the law goes, she broke it. I would suggest having her annull the marriage. If memory serves she's going to need her ex to be in on it (for at least a...

As stated above you have no choice other than to follow the legal eviction process. I wanted to add, however, that while going through the legal eviction process you're going to need to lean on your friends to get through this. Your ex-boyfriend is going to make this as ugly as he can for what...

Father needs to be a father Let me give you some advice on proper parenting to pass along to your ex: I have to assume that in telling his son it's ok to skip if you make up the work he's, in part, trying to stay popular with him. While I understand the reasoning behind it what he obviously...

Sounds like you need to consult a local attorney. Prenups are important documents if they end up having to be used. If you screw it up now it'll come back to haunt you.

He beat you up and you have to ask what you should do?? Kick him out NOW and let the world teach him a thing or two. Call the police and let them know what's going on and have a uniformed officer present while you give him 10 minutes to grab what ever he wants and then get the heck out. I...

Sorry for your loss Just wanted to add my condolences for your loss. As far as your daughter goes, if the cards (and checks) are made out to you than they're all yours to do with what you wish save for the one that specifically said to split it with others. With that check it's really up to...
