I bought a home 6 years ago and thought I would be happy here with my daughter and mother. My mother has since passed away and daughter working and living somewhere else. Throughout the 6 years, I discovered a couple of things -one when it rains and especially hard rain, my basement flooded, Sometimes water would rest just at your ankles. As a result mold and mildew and other water damage existed. I became sick and was hospitablized more than 6 times over the years. I developed Asthma, and bronchitis, and was unable to go down stairs for any length of time. Much of my furniture, albums, etc, were destroyed. My insurance company threw their hands in the air and so did the mortgage company. I sincerely believe that the property owners KNEW about the rain and flooding. The house sold at $90,000 and after the sale, the realtor showed me that other homes in the area were going for $120,000. Do I have a right to investigate and determine that fraud was involved? My ailments still exist

I loaned my exhusband some money by check and wrote on it loan. He mailed me a check to pay it back (pay back loan written on check). He stopped payment on the check and I just got the copy in the mail. The check was for $500. Can I turn it over to the bad check unit or is this civil instead of criminal?

He wanted a DNA test when she was a few weeks old we had our mouths swabbed but he never had his. Now that he is moving and trying to get a job with the Texas State Troopers he wants a dna test when we go down there....Is there any laws in texas about child custody that could cause me not to come home with her?

Hello,

Recently I went on a canoeing trip in Missouri on the Current River. It is a well traveled tourist spot, mostly college students partying along the river while canoeing. Recently I was ticketed for illegal possession of alcohol by a minor. I was told I have a court date in the court of the very small Missouri town many miles away from my home in Illinois. I have a few questions about the situation someone may be able to answer or direct me to a resource for the answers.

Will Missouri state mail me anything or inform any government offices in Illinois of the incident?

Would I be able to be arrested in Illinois if I missed the court date in Missouri? (i.e. I just dont show up and they dont bother finding me)

Do the river conservation officers have the same authority as a real police officer? (College security, for instance can give drinking tickets, but they hold little or no meaning if unpaid)

I bought a building in the downtown area I live in the upper section. The downstairs was rented to a business when I bought the building but the business has since been sold and the new owner wanted to stay. We do not have a lease and are just going on a month to month basis. (Couldn't get her to sign a lease.) She consistently pays the rent late and I am forced to call her at least once a month to ask for the rent. One month she told me she wasn't going to pay because she didn't have it. I told her I was making arrangements to evict her she changed her tune and said she would get caught up. She did but every month since then she pays so late that it is almost time for the next payment. I need this money to make the mortgage every month and so frustrated because twice I have had to take money out of my savings just to pay the mortgage on time. I am getting worried because she is late again this month. What are my rights here? Can I evict her? How much notice do I have to give her?

My husband and I sold some land to my cousin at the end of Nov. 2004. We did is as owner fiancing with a 1% interest rate. The first payment was due in Dec 04, we call and they said they would have it to us the next week. Well, need less to say we called them in January and she said she would bring me the money the next day. February we called again and she said they would have a 1 lump some for us the next week. 6 days later we got a letter from a lawyer saying to quit harrassing their clints as they did not own us any $. Well, we did have legal papers drawn up and promisary notes. They did give us a down payment that was enought to get it relesed from the bank and that was all. Now the house got forclosed on and sold to the highest bidder on the court house steps. The company that bought it is the sister compnay to the company that financed and built it now we are meeting with this company, b/c they didnt let us know they were selling. so do you think we get some money tom?

Say you've changed your address with just about anyone you could imagine would be sending you mail, so you didn't file a change of address form but you're still getting a few pieces of mail here and there... is that considered mail fraud? and more importantly, can an individual charge you with mail fraud, simply because they're mad at you, because you didnt' file said change of address form

if a child lives in ohio during the school year with one parent, and the summers out of state with the other parent, does the out of state parent have to change their address with the courts if they move from one state to another(other than ohio)? Can the out of state parent still exercise their right to spend the summers with the child? If the out of state parent doesn't get their allotted time what can be done? links and sources will be very helpful, thank you

Recently, a Colorado Rockies minor league coach died after being struck in the head by a line drive as he stood in the first-base coach's box during a game in North Little Rock, Ark. While we understand this to be an accident, I was just curious to poll the commnities' ideas...does this 'accident' justify his widow to 'sue' someone (Individual who threw the ball? Team? Coach Union?) Do you think they will compensate her for the loss of the husband and father? The general finance he contributed to the home and the welfare of his children and their futures?

We have become a world of sue-happy people and there are times when it is totally necessary. In viewing this as an "accident", do you think the dog-lawyers will busrt out of the pound to persue this woman to sue someone for her loss?

Warning: There is no malace or intent in this question. No accusation is being made, no offense intended towards any individual, group or other consortium. Serious responses with thought.
