When filling out an application and the question is asked 'Have you ever been found in any dependency or domestic relation matter to have physically abused any person?', what does the word 'found' mean? Does that mean convicted? If there is a temporary restraining order against you for a domestic situation (which didn't involve physical abuse), do you need to disclose the information on the application if you were not convicted?

They asked me for a continuance yesterday after I requested an expedited hearing. I told them no because my mother has cancer and I am her primary caregiver. I need to continue therapy as of now I can't help her due to the injury. They scheduled a pre-hearing conference for tomorrow. Should I still send the letter out or tell them this tomorrow during the hearing?

I have a small construction company where I am a 51% owner and my spouse is a 49% owner. We need to get a divorce, but my husband is not active in the company. Do I have to dissolve the company, and what are the implications given that the company was started during our marriage and there are no prenuptial agreements or disclaimers of marital interest?

As a creditor of a small S corporation, I lent it $100,000. The company cannot repay me and is barely breaking even. The main asset is a piece of email marketing software. I am considering taking over the business name, customers, and assets, but I am concerned about unknown tax obligations and potential liability. What steps can I take to protect myself from any tax obligations the company may have, and how can I determine if there are such obligations? Additionally, since it's not year-end yet and the company has not filed taxes for this year, could I become liable for that as well? Am I at all liable since I am only taking over the assets and not the S corp itself? I am in the state of Michigan.
