As a result of an elder-abuse situation, I was forced to leave my home in Vermont with no money, no transportation, and only the clothes on my back. I am unable to pay my credit card debt due to having only social security income and no assets. Can my creditors attach my social security income, and what is the best way for me to proceed with my debt?

Is it possible to hire an attorney to negotiate with creditors to get better terms and rates, or are there other avenues for handling creditors if you are unable to make payments due to high finance charges?

My sister in Texas recently died without a will. She is not married and has no children. Her plan was to split everything evenly among my other sister, my children, and my grandchildren. Now a half sister born in 1932 has appeared and is claiming heirship. Our attorney says that we can't request DNA, and she is entitled to 1/3 share of the inheritance. The Texas law I find says a half sister isn't entitled to a full 1/3, but to 1/4 of what my sister and I would inherit. What are the legal implications of this situation in Texas, and how should we proceed?

I received a demand letter from an attorney in Texas that I find unprofessional, berating, and demanding a cashier's check. No legal action has been filed yet. How should I handle this situation?

I need to get a passport for my children to take a vacation. Their father still has legal custody, but has a warrant for his arrest and does not communicate with me. Is there a way to request a judge to allow for me to get a passport?
