In a small claims court case, I served a 3-day notice to a tenant for unpaid rent. The notice was signed by a family member over 18 years old who lives with the tenant. I waited 8 days before filing the claim. The judge dismissed my case, stating I did not need to wait 8 days but only 4 days. What went wrong with my case, and what can I do to correct it?

I'm going through a divorce and the judge is deciding whether to enforce our prenup without a hearing, using memorandums, depositions, and proposed judgements from each side. My husband lied in his proposed judgement. My lawyer seems overconfident in not needing to address it, believing the prenup will be invalidated on grounds of unconscionability. Is there a remedy for my husband's lies in the proposed judgement, and can they be called out as lies?

During a hearing, the commissioner noticed two open cases with the same participants, one from 2018 and another from 2023. The commissioner questioned why a new case was filed instead of proceeding with the old one, and the IV-d attorney could not explain. Additionally, an affidavit filed in person was missing from the case records. Can you provide insight on these issues?
