Hello. My ex-girlfriend is in the process of moving out of my house. We were together for nearly 10 years. It’s a complicated, acrimonious process. A few years ago, she paid for the materials of a high-quality wooden fence for our backyard.
I am in San Bernardino County, CA. I have been a tenant for 31 years in this particular unit. When I rented it in 1984, I paid my first and last months rent.
Can my landlord ask me for pay stubs if I’m already renting from them?
My husband and I live in North Carolina and have agreed to divorce. However, due to his job, he had to leave the country before we could start the proceedings. We agreed to start our one year separation during this time. I met a man while he was gone who was also going through a divorce. We started talking and soon we were in a relationship.
My mother had a will stating to divide everything equally but she did not deed the house to me in 2008 and it stated that upon death the house became mine. My brother who is the executor of the will wants to sell the assets inside the house and split the money.
The house next door is an occupied rental house. The shingles are blowing off and scratching up my new vehicle.
My mother died without a will and owing lots of money to creditors and the IRS. Her car which has an IRS lien against it is in my driveway.
My neighbor has a very large tree in her yard and she has allowed the tree roots to spread under my carport causing it to bulge and tilt to one side. What can I do to get her to pay damages to my carport.
My wife left me for someone else after 24 years together. I raised my 2 kids and sent them through college. What right does she have to be entitled to half of everything I own while she’s seeing another man out in public?
My parents have a loan on some land in Kentucky. Both of their names are on the loan. My sister talked my father into signing his half of the land over to her. My mom didn’t know about it and never signed it.
