Maybe if this were a criminal proceeding accusing you of a crime (misdemeanor or felony) for which you could be imprisoned, you would be able to raise a Fourth Amendment suppression issue, i.e., whether the pool was in plain view from a public place and so forth which is designed to protect the sanctity of the home. But, alas, we're dealing with a lower level of infraction, a municipal code or environmental permit violation which isn't usually a "crime" (strictly defined as misdemeanor or...

I don't see any easy answers here, since disparagement is hard to prove and the law guardian doesn't agree with you. Sometimes, being "rude and disrespectful" comes with the territory of kids growing up, and it's hard to be patient, and to deal with different parenting styles and perhaps a more lax treatment when the girls are with the mother, plus the "sex difference" (although it doesn't work this way and kids can be manipulative and many mother-daughter relationships are perhaps rockier...

Guardianship? Do you mean sole physical custody? If your ex went and petitioned the court for custody without you present, assuming you had custody by a previous order or simply consent or an agreement between you two, he or she must have done that by an Order to Show Cause, which is an "emergency" kind of petition where only one party has to be present to get a temporary order. In that instance, I'd presume there will be a hearing to determine permanent custody. You don't say whether...

Agree with other counsel that no matter what the manner or level of payment, an attorney is required by the ethical rules of practice in NYS (22 NYCRR Part 1200, Rules 1.1 and 1.3 see link below) to be competent and diligent. You can complain to the committee on professional conduct in the judicial district you are in, information is available on the "NYS Courts" website. There may also be fee arbitration or mediation programs in your county, again, google or ask the court clerks contacts...

Contempt of court? Making a frivolous motion? Being litigious? Not sure there is a legal term for this. Maybe you had it right with just being "nuts".

No, you can't evict them (or change the locks which is a self-help eviction without the required court permission), unless you have some kind of lease or written agreement regarding your ownership and rights of possession and responsibilities for payment to third parties like banks, other than the deed and mortgage. You could ask this person to quitclaim their interest to you and you'd agree to pay their share of the mortgage and other carrying charges and perhaps the bank would agree to...
