I moved from PA to FL and had some issues with the company. Do I sue in FL, where the problems occurred, or in PA where contract

Asked by a user in Miami, FL - 4 months ago.

Generally the place that would have primary jurisdiction over this situation would be where the contract stated both parties would pursue their differences (sometimes known as a "choice of law" clause). If there is no such clause then the pursuit would be where the contract was signed and not where the problems took place. It would be very wise to consider contacting a PA barred attorney to assist you, or pursue this yourself via small claims court.

I have a car loan under my name and my ex-husband, can I return the vehicle and not have it affect our divorce terms?

Asked by a user in Independence, MO - 5 months ago.

This is very possible that it may affect the terms but unlikely. Because the person is not losing the car or obtaining a blemish on credit, his situation is not in any way being changed. I still suggest you see a local attorney to obtain a full answer but as this is not material or vital to the divorce, it should likely play a minimal role.

If I already signed a non-compete for my company, can they make me sign another one just because they made a change?

Asked by a user in Saint Paul, MN - almost 2 years ago.

Such a requirement is valid, and the company is free to request that you re-sign the terms. I would suggest that you review the non-compete with your attorney as the conditions may be too restrictive and therefore possibly invalid.

Is it legal for a mechanic to keep my car

Asked by a user in Encino, CA - almost 2 years ago.

Generally speaking such behavior is permitted if an outstanding balance on the vehicle exists (that is, if you still owe money on repairs to the mechanic). Consider paying off the debts owed, or retain an attorney to attempt to use the courts as a means of getting your vehicle back. Paying for the repairs will probably be cheaper and quicker.
