I was asked to file a notice of default on a civil case in Riverside, CA. I am suing an attorney for fees charged on a case she mishandled. The judge sent us to arbitration after our first hearing. I need to do arbitration for malpractice since I claim the attorney did not do her job and missed deadlines given by the court, costing me my case. I signed a contract with her for a civil case involving real property. The court has set an OSC because I did not file a notice of default. How do I fill out the form for default judgment (CIV-100) when the case has been sent to arbitration, and what should I include in the declaration on pleading?

I received a letter from the City of Riverbank stating that they will conduct an inspection on 11/13/23 and will issue citations and fines if I continue operating an Airbnb. The city does not currently issue business licenses for Airbnb operations. I need to know if I should cease Airbnb operations before the inspection and what my options are for obtaining a license to legally operate an Airbnb or a similar short-term rental business to help pay my mortgage.

I am Spanish (from Spain) and my daughter was born in Texas. She has her US passport, and I want to get her a Spanish passport. Are there any legal considerations to avoid complications with dual citizenship, and is there any fee she may need to pay to maintain her US nationality?

When a debtor has a collection, can they add that to a person's credit file without obtaining a judgment? If they didn't go to court, are they legally allowed to add random bills, especially in the case of an eviction in Colorado?
