Attorney answers:
When am I old enough to say where I want to live??
I don't believe any attorney here can properly respond to this question in this forum and I would urge you to speak with a social professional or school counselor. As a minor, and in an open forum you should never use your full name.

Attorney answers:
Can the mortgage company come after me for any deficiency after foreclosure and what are the tax implications
Your question raises a number of follow up questions. It is difficult to determine where you are at in the process as it is in Ohio. I agree with Mr. Strock's answer regarding the tax issues. But, whether or not they would seek the deficiency is a more complicated question and subject to a lot of "if- then" analysis. In Ohio, the Ohio Supreme Court, bar associations, and lawyers have set up a comprehensive program called Save the Dream with some legal assistance for people facing...

Attorney answers:
What are Interrogatories Propounded To Defendant-First Set in a child support/modification to shared parenting case?
Yes, you must answer the interrogatories. And, you can send him a set to answer too. Interrogatories must be answered within 28 days of service in Ohio. You daughter's father is entitled to information from you to defend against the modification. Based on this question, it seems you do not have counsel and he does. If he has counsel, then you need counsel because there are objections that can be raised to the questions and the attorney will use your answers to defeat your claim at...

Attorney answers:
Personal Injury and attorney nonresponse
Let's work through some of this. First, litigation takes time, sometimes eighteen to twenty-four months before something that you need to attend or do occurs. Now that does not excuse a failure to update. But, calling repeatedly just to ask to "hurry up and do something" does not reflect the fact that most of the time there is simply nothing to report. Second, you should review the online docket in your county to determine whether a law suit has been filed. Lake County is online and you...

Attorney answers:
Will I be able to get a continuance?
I practice in Ohio. I will assume Lucas County Court of Common Pleas. In Ohio, the first extension is called a "Leave to Plead" and in most counties is given as a matter of course for thirty days. After that you cannot "call in" to get more time. You must file a Motion for Extension of Time. It must be in writing. It must be served to the other lawyer (who can object to it). Do not offer "need time to declare bankruptcy" as an excuse. First, the other attorney will object to your...

Attorney answers:
What action can I take to get 50 thousand back that I loaned husband and son without contract to help keep business afloat?
Well let's make this more foggy. Yes, oral agreements are absolutely enforceable in Ohio. The terms here though: loan, payments, two years, that you would admit to, take you into the Ohio statute of frauds, ORC 1335 (B): "No party to a loan agreement may bring an action on a loan agreement unless the agreement is in writing and is signed by the party against whom the action is brought or by the authorized representative of the party against whom the action is brought..." Further, while there...

Attorney answers:
Car accident other party at fault, refuses to give statement to his own ins. co. our car total loss.
You cannot compel the other driver to make a statement to his insurance company. That insurer does not need a statement to pay the property damage nor does your insurer to press them. The other driver is cited and for purposes of a property settlement that is enough. You should not need to resort to this forum to get information. Your attorney should be answering every question you have and if you cannot trust the attorney you should consider other counsel. However, one month is not a very...

Attorney answers:
Abandoned Vehicle
I think the first place to start is to take down the VIN number (at dashboard and engine block, if possible) and have it run (try, https://www.dps.state.oh.us/atps/titleinq.asp?mode=i or through the local State Highway Patrol office, maybe Lorain at Route 10?) to determine: 1) Is it stolen? 2) Is it subject to a lien? 3) Is it already a "junked" vehicle (sometimes vehicles are written off after an accident and a salvage title is issued)? before you proceed. Ohio has been struck by a...

Attorney answers:
Insurance lapse, while caught speeding.
You will need to produce evidence of coverage on the day of the ticket. Even if you had it set-up on a direct withdraw, and there was an error, it does not help. Now, there is an administrative appeal of the license suspension and there is a possibility of raising these facts in an appeal at the administrative level, but the court will just want to see an insurance card or proof of coverage on the date of the ticket.

Roofing Contractor
Ken: I am an attorney from Ohio. This is not legal advice, but informational and does not form an attorney-client relationship. You can go on the Ohio Secretary of State website (http://www2.sos.state.oh.us) and do a search under corporate records for Under Construction, Inc.. I did. I found these guys are still active with corporate registration 1771918. I also found that their Agent of Service is: Business Filings Incorporated, 4400 Easton Commons Way, Suite 125, Columbus, Ohio,...
