    Perhaps - this is very fact specific. I see that you are up near Allentown, PA but I would need to discuss some more additional facts that I do not feel comfortable discussing with you on this public forum as their is no attorney-client privilege. I am licensed in Pennsylvana and have discussed and/or worked on cases with other lawyers in Allentown, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Philidelphia. Therefore, even if I am unable to assist you, I may be able help guide you and your family to other...

    It is in your interest to immediately hire and consult with an employment lawyer and have the lawyer review each of the provisions in the contract with you as you have already been an employee for two years. It may seem to be overkill but you will want to know now if you are giving up any critical rights, as you indicate in your question. A good employment lawyer will be able to reveiew each provision with you and advise you whether any of the parts of the non compete contrat are improper or...

    I suggest you first attempt to seek out help from The Legal Aid Society of Clevleand. Their phone number is 216-687-1900. Before calling go to their website at http://www.lasclev.org/offices.html to learn more about the income qualiifications as you indicate that "you don't have money to get a lawyer." When you say your fiance is "suppose to have his son ever (sic) othe weekend," I don't know what that means. Is there a Court order after a divorce or dissolution that the Mother is failing...

    I suggest you immediately retain an meet with an attorney that focuses on business law in There are other questions that will probably be asked I would not recommend asking them on this public forum as they are not protected by the attorney-client privilege. In my opinion, your question regarding problems with the owner of the building is too complex, and begs other questions, to be answered on this forum. As far as a "bill of sale" for machinery purchased as far back in 1990, you probably...

    Why do you really want to keep this company key and what do you want to accomplish by keeping the company key? In every problem one has to consider a variety of resolutions. Baased on your question, you have decided to volutarily leave your company so why not return the key an pick up your paycheck? There may be some other reason not disclosed that but sometimes (and I'm not saying this is you) people pick unnessessary fights (maybe over bad feelings, etc.) when it is time to just move on....

    I'm sorry to hear about the horrible circumstances you suffered. Your question may depend on a number of facts that must be reviewed with an attorney. Further, I may need to research the law in this area depending on the facts that we discuss depending on whether I decide, after understanding some basic facts, if I am willing to proceed further and help you with your case. I would recomend that you not post any further information on your situation as this is a "public" forum and you do not...

  7. I have an order in the original divorce decree that states I get the children as a tax exemption .

    It is an unusual agreement. Whether or not it will hold up in court, I have no opinion and no idea and that is between you and your attorney. Typically, spouses will alternate years or split up children on tax returns after divorce or dissolution in Ohio. The first question that comes to mind is what has been the practice between you and your spouse for the last 13 or 14 years? I'm not sure how this issue developed but it may be a good idea to discuss with your attorney a Motion to Modify...

  8. If an ex-spouse sends over a piece of furniture to your house, and it remains in your house for 3 years, can they take it back?

    After reading your question carefully your question is a bit confusing. You state that the dresser was sold long ago to "help pay child support with a lot of other stuff in a garage sale." Therefore, you ex-spouse cannot take it back as it has been sold. I assume you mean you sold the dresser to pay the portion of "child support" your "ex" would have owed to you. Have you told your "ex" the dresser has been sold and you can't return it? Has your "ex" told you she will hire an attorney to...

    You need to get a copy of the Order signed by the Judge that has attached to it the provisions of your Divorce/Dissolution agreement and read it. There may be a clause that requires your spouse to provide you with this information. Your attorney should have a copy of this order. If not call the Clerk's office where you were divorced to find out how you can get a copy. You will likely be charged and have to go down there to pick it up. As far as how to proceed after that, there are...

    You are free to contact an attorney any time you like to get the answers to your questions. You may want to call an attorney now and verify the time you need to reside in Ohio and how you can expidite the process with the anticipation your husband will not want to cooperate. This would not be the first, or last diivorce in which the parties disagree. Good luck.
